There is no direct mention of Ivalice in "Vagrant Story". However, several references are made; the Kingdom of Valendia, the setting for "Vagrant Story", shares its name with a continent of Ivalice appearing in "Final Fantasy XII". The Kiltia religion, featured in "Final Fantasy XII", was the religion of the ghost town Leá Monde, in which the story takes place. Additionally, a quotation from Arazlam J. Durai, a famous historian of Ivalice who lived 400 years after the War of the Lions (and narrator of the Zodiac Brave Story told in "Final Fantasy Tactics"), is used at the beginning of the game, and the descriptions of several items make direct reference to the same story. This would seem to place "Vagrant Story" latest in the timeline, given its direct references to the events of "Final Fantasy Tactics". Matsuno has said that he never intended "Vagrant Story" to be in the same world as "Tactics" and "Final Fantasy XII", though he noted that Square Enix advertising might not agree.
