MISCELLANY

This portion of the site contains odds and ends regarding misconceptions, mysteries, and other miscellany regarding the game.

AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE STORY?

A Japanese fansite reports that there is an interview with Hitoshi Sakimoto in the 2002 book そうだ、ゲームミュージックを聴こう! (OK, Let's Hear the Game Music!) in which he states the following:

初めは主人公が仲違いした兄と解り合って行くストーリーだったから、明るい曲を多く書いてたんです。でも途中でゲーム画面見せてもらったら、その兄がゾンビ化して「殺してくれ～」とか言ってるじゃないですか。そこがツボに入りました。そしてその後曲を書き直しました。
Machine translation renders this as:
At first, the story was about the main character getting to know his older brother, so I wrote a lot of bright songs. But if you show me the game screen on the way, my brother will turn into a zombie and say "Kill me". That entered the pot. And then I rewrote the song.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS... PREQUEL?

Matsuno apparently has one ancient tweet on record [Archived Link] indicating that if he were to give us more FFT, it would be about the Fifty Years War!



DENIAL OF VAGRANT STORY AND FINAL FANTASY TACTICS' CONNECTION

Matsuno has stated on twitter [Archived Link] that Vagrant Story and the other Ivalice games are not meant to have an in-universe connection.
