Ivalice
Meh.

In all seriousness, I'm still apathetic about it. Working with non-Imperial Garleans was nice (even if Ramza was kind of a douche when first we met him), and humanizing Solus by having him be a patron of the arts was another nice touch. That Varis is cracking down on and censoring such entertainment just shows he's... well, basically Solus v2.0, and my "likelihood to ally with" value is going down.

That said, from what I skimmed it's... basically trying to do the framework of Tactics. Translate the Durai Report(s) so that the world knows Delita was helped by Ramza (and that Ivalice was a really real thing).

A lot of the references went over my head, since I only played about half of XII and never touched Tactics (I got Fire Emblem for my SRPG fix - hoping I can get Olivia Alter before her banner expires in Heroes. I mean, I got Azura Alter, who is probably objectively better, but I like getting all the limited time waifu units). The only ones I really got were Mateus and Ba'Gamnan.

Not sure why they're making such a big deal out of the auracite. Isn't it already known to be extant on Hydaelyn - a white variety Moenbryda supplied us with to kill Ascians, at least?
