Ivalice edit
Ivalice (イヴァリース, Ivarīsu) is a fictional universe setting primarily appearing in the Final Fantasy video game series. The world was co-created by Yasumi Matsuno and Hiroyuki Ito in 1995, and has since been expanded upon by several games as the Ivalice Alliance series. Ivalice is described as a complex world with a very long history, and the stories of Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII, and Crystal Defenders all take place in it.
The Square Enix wikiproject (and the overall video game project) have quite a few good/featured topics on individual video game series, but with this nomination I'm trying something new. The Final Fantasy franchise has several subseries in it, which are usually linked by characters and plot. One subseries, however, is a bit different: Ivalice is a series of games connected primarily by the setting and themes. It consists of the Final Fantasy XII series, the Final Fantasy Tactics series, and the video games Vagrant Story and Crystal Defenders; at one point, Square Enix planned on marketting them as the "Ivalice Alliance", but appears to have lost interest in the idea soon after without defining what exactly that meant (this is par for the course for SE's subseries branding). Nevertheless, we are left with a set of games all linked together into a topic, and with the recent GAs for Defenders and Tactics A2, the topic as a whole is completed. Note that the Final Fantasy XII series has a subtopic already, while the Final Fantasy Tactics series is being nominating at the same time as this nomination: as these subseries are distinct (Final Fantasy XII, for example, is also included in the overall Final Fantasy featured topic) I don't think it makes sense to merge them into this topic. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 02:53, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

- Comment, I'm curious why you didn't include all video games set in Ivalice in this FT, considering that they're all recognized content of some sort. Axem Titanium (talk) 23:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Axem Titanium: Note that the FF12 and FFT items have subtopic links- that's because all of the unlisted games are included in those topics. --PresN 01:53, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
