In "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance", the protagonist lives in a land called St. Ivalice. Following the characters' discovery of the book called the Gran Grimoire, St. Ivalice was transformed into a "mirror" of the "real" kingdom of Ivalice. The races seen in the world of "Tactics Advance"— Bangaa, Moogle, Viera and Nu Mou— also appear in the game "Final Fantasy XII", the setting of which has come to represent the "real" Ivalice. This is apparently explained as Mewt (one of the main characters in "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance") replied that "Final Fantasy" was his favorite game. "" also takes place in both St. Ivalice and the Ivalice of "Final Fantasy XII".
