There's really no reason to assume that the valid connections between the games in the series will not unfold.

This is mainly because everyone else who helped Matsuno create this world seems to still be at Square-Enix, most notably Minagawa (from the original Ogre Battle). Being promoted to director, showing up at all the XII events, and speaking about Final Fantasy like he's been making them for years are all indicators that we can expect some great games from him in the future, and most obviously games set in Ivalice will be among them. The only team member who isn't officially at SE is the composer Sakimoto, as like other top JRPG composers,he works freelance. I don't see any complications, as he recently did the soundtrack for Revenant Wings.

Also, EagleDelta, FFT took place to the west of Ordalia, they're 2 separate places, as the ordalians are who ivalice went to war with in the 50 years war.
I'm not talking about the Kingdoms of Ordalia and Ivalice, but rather their location in the area of Ivalice. Kingdoms can sometimes have the same name as the region or continent. i.e. Britain is on the Island of Britain, Ireland is on Ireland, etc. Austrailia is another example. If you look at the translations for the maps - There is the region of Ivalice and the Kingdom of Ivalice, just as there is the Kingdom of Ordallia and the Continent of Ordalia. Dalmasca is on the eastern edge of the Continent of Ordalia, Rozarria on the western edge as well as on part of the Continent of Kerwon and Archadia is on Valendia.
Anyway, here's the pic that shows the expanded map from FFXII, including parts of Ivalice not travelled to in FFXII.

If you look at the western part of the map..
Oh, I can see where the Kingdom of Ivalice might fit - if you look at the SW corner and just above the little body of water, The kingdom of Ivalice might fit there, but I still can't find where FFTA2 fits on the map - here's that pic.

I was also wrong about this one - the Continent on the East is Ordalia, but the Western continent is not Kerwon, but a new one called Roaru.

Also the City of Goug is in FFTA2, so this could be in the same region as the Future Kingdom of Ivalice, but who knows. At least we get to see goug during the height of the Rozarrian Empire, in all its technological glory.

With all this considered, though, who knows what Geographical changes could've happened to Ivalice during the Cataclysm mentioned in FFT. I'd like to see a game about that event.


I would, however, like to see how the Lucavi/Scions break from the bonds that force them to serve the peoples on Ivalice in FFXII and begin possessing people by the time of FFT.
