The world of "Final Fantasy Tactics" has been featured in several other Square video games. After the game's release, the development staff went on to develop "Vagrant Story", which featured several subtle references to "Final Fantasy Tactics". In an interview with the French video game magazine "Joypad", Matsuno stated that both titles are set in the same fictional world of Ivalice. During the development of "Vagrant Story", Matsuno and Sakaguchi initiated a sequel to "Tactics", which would have used 2D graphics due to issues with 3D development at the time. Due to the team's committent to "Vagrant Story", the project was outsourced to an unspecified developer, but was cancelled for unspecified reasons.
