HOLY CATACLYSM BATMAN!!!

[Skyblade]

Mewt comes back at the end of FFTA2, and gives a fairly solid clencher that the games are directly connected, but he is the only recurring character to give that impression.

Hmm, Well Think About How Long It Woulda Taken Luso To Do Those Measly 20 Main Quests, At Least 21 Days, Plus Travel Time. Yet When He Wakes Up In The Library It Has Only Been A Few Hours, This Suggests That FFTA Was WAAAAAAAAY Before FFTA2, Seing As It's Been At Least 10 Years In Mewt's Real World.

Temporal distortions are standard fare for interdimensional travel. Heck, look at The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. They were in there for years, yet when they came out, no time had passed at all.

But there are issues with that. The entire Judge/law system is overhauled, and has very different roots and implementation in the lore of the two games. Ezel makes a reappearance as an alchemist who fiddles with the law (he makes a card for your clan that protects your Judge from being barred from combat), yet no mention is made of his previous attempts to break down the law (or any of the other events of FFTA), nor does it mention the differences in the law system.

Personally I Thought Ezel May Be "Gifted" Like Addel Or Lenart. I Have No Basis For That Though, Other Than The Gifted Live For A Long Time

Perhaps, but don't forget that Montblanc returns as well. I doubt they're both Gifted. Also, Ezel only pops by for one scene, more of a cameo than anything else. It's possible he's gifted, but I wouldn't say it is the most likely circumstance.

Montblanc reappears as a travelling Black Mage, though he mentions Clan Centurio and the adventures from FFXII, again, there is no mention of FFTA's events.

Heard Him Die Yet? He Says Something About An Old Friend. *I Think* But It Wrecks My Theory On The Timezones

No, I haven't heard any of my character die except for Blue Mages who have Auto-Raise on. Death is bad. And I recently saved over my file with him in it, so it'll be a while before I get the chance again.

Jylland is shown as a continent or country in Ivalice, while in FFTA, Ivalice was an individual country, not a world.

Ozmon Field, Salikawood, giza plains and azenfield.
Tey Were All In TA I Believe, Some In XII And In A2, Problem I Have With Joining The TA World Is That You Get To CHOSE Where The Places Are, Which Makes It Difficult To Orientate.

Ignoring the Treasure Hunt system and just going by what you see in the world maps, FFTA's Ivalice doesn't line up directly with either of the others, which makes it hard to fit in the reused areas.

Seams are either absent from FFTA2, or have been restructured into the Rifts, but we don't get enough info to tell for sure.

The Seems Got Destroyed In TA, Thus Creating Instability Within The Realm, Possibly A Cataclysm.

The crystals were destroyed, not necessarily the seams. According to FFTA lore, the crystals were originally created inside the seams, indicating that the seams existed before the crystals, and, since they are points of dimensional instability, would likely exist after the crystals were gone. If anything, with the world threads destroyed, one woudl expect the seams to be more active.

Although I can't help but notice that it was mysteriously absent from the library when Luso returned to his world. Also, why would Mewt have another magic book? Did he collect them at some point, hoping to find a way back to Ivalice? Or did the book move on its own, gravitating to a place where it could take Luso (who was chosen by the Grimoire of the Rift), to Ivalice, and then, once its purpose was fulfilled, it left?

I Like The Mewt Collects Them Idea :P We Was Always A Bookworm.
Plus, It's Revealed In The Story That There Are Several Grimoires, Illua Had One, And Lezaford Hinted At More. So Why Shouldn't They Exist In Mewt's World Aswell?

Oh, granted, they probably exist in Mewt's world. It's why they exist in Mewt's library that's troubling me, unless he did hunt them down. Which I think he might have done at one point. Given the way he reminisces about Ivalice in his end-game scene in FFTA2, I think he might have tried to get back at one point.

Um, yeah, I guess I'm writing text walls again. Sorry. I just seem to get a bit carried away with these games. I have no idea why.

Ditto. Cept, Mine Are Pure Theory.


p.s. Sorry For The Grammar/Spelling Mistakes And Excessive Caps.

Eh, I'll live.
