Gameplay

Square Enix is currently developing the game's grid-based battle system, and increasing the number of character jobs. Some enemies also appear in larger scales, taking up multiple squares on the grid. The world map is also developed to be more in-depth with the introduction of "area maps". The area maps will feature multiple battle locations and a town, which will work similar to its predecessor. It also revealed the existence of enemy clans that will also travel the world map.[2]


Plot

Setting

The setting is similar to that of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy XII. There are seven playable races in the game: Hume, Moogle, Viera, Bangaa, Seeq, Nu Mou and Gria.[2] Chronologically, the game takes place after Final Fantasy XII.[3]


Similar to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Luso was a mischievous boy who lived in the real world until he was punished for a prank he pulled just before summer break. Locked away in the library, Luso finds an old book and wrote his name on it. The book then transports him into the world of Ivalice. Rather than wishing to return home, Luso decides to venture the world farther.[2] However, unlike in the previous installment, the main character travels to the real Ivalice, instead of a creation of his imagination born of strong feelings.[4] This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...

Characters of TA2 (from left): Luso, Adel and Hardy.
  • Luso (ルッソ Russo?): The mischievous brown-haired Hero of the story, who was transported to Ivalice. He is not even disturbed by his cross-world situation but yearns for adventure. Luso has a strong curiosity that lowers his sense of impending danger, which tends to land him into trouble often. He always feels a need to stop and help people who are in distress. Luso also has a phobia of ghosts.
  • Adel (アデル Aderu?): The story's silver-haired and energetic Heroine, a thief-type fighter. She is a hunter who lives her life freely as she wishes, and is known among her hunter comrades as "Cat Adel". Determined and shrewd, Adel acts on her mercenary interests on the surface but has a cold side and hidden complex.
  • Cid (シド Shido?): Cid appears as a chief of a group of hunters known as the Gari Clan. He is introduced into the story by saving the hero, Luso, from the grasping claws of a monster. Intent to help Luso return to his world, Cid acts as his big brother. He seems to hide a mysterious past and connection with a certain organization.
  • Hardy (ハーディ Hādi?): A Moogle who is one of Montblanc's siblings, and Gurdy's twin brother, who left Rabanastre. In his travels, the moogle gathered musical instruments and made his performance in pubs. [5]
