| | Final Fantasy XII gets star treatment in Tokyo - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot |
 | | According to the game's developers, Final Fantasy XII's atmosphere is based on a mix of medieval Mediterranean countries, which is reflected on the game's buildings (their architecture) and the presence of different races, such as the Bangaas and Vieras (from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance). | | | Matsuno, who will be producing Final Fantasy XII as well as participating in its development, commented at the press event that both FFXII and the Final Fantasy Tactics series take place in the same world of Ivarice, albeit in different time periods. | | | In Final Fantasy XII, the Arcadia Empire, which rules the continent of Valendia, and the Rosaria Empire, which rules the continent of Ordalia, have been engaged in a long war. |

| | 1UP: Final Fantasy XII |
| | The rest of the music will be composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, who worked with Matsuno on (say it with us) Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics. | | | If you played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and wondered which "Final Fantasy" it was that the kids in that game were such big fans of, it was FFXII: that world was based on the world Matsuno was already working on for the main series' twelfth installment. | | | Curiously, the sound team mentioned that ever since Final Fantasy VIII's "Eyes on Me" song, the vocal theme of the game has been emphasized, but with FFXII they want to try something "more than just the song." Just what that might be, though, is a mystery. |

| | David and Leigh Eddings, The Rivan Codex |
| | The final section, "A Summary of Current Events" taken "From the Journal of Anheg of Cherek," returns to the good guys' perspective on events occurring between The Belgariad and The Mallorean. | | | Accompanying extensive background material on David and Leigh Eddings' epic fantasy series The Belgariad and The Mallorean (think Christopher Tolkien's editions of his father's notes, only shorter) is a plain-spoken manual on writing fantasy. | | | The next section ("The Holy Books") explores the history of the world's various races through their own theology and religious life. |

| | Amazon.com: The Sapphire Rose: Book 3 of The Elenium: Books: David Eddings |
| | Since then, I have come to think of Eddings as the king of modern fantasy writing, and I feel that the final book, The Sapphire Rose, in his series The Elenium, has upheld his title. | | | The impact of the violence in the story line is minimal, and it leaves one wondering why the change of the characterisation was seen as necessary for the author, and if the author was writing to a new formula to attract new readers to his slow selling trilogy. | | | Compared to the Belgariad series, the Elenium series was not as quick to move off the shelves, and this is a possible reason for the change in the authors' direction. |

| | The much discussed link between Matsuno's previous title Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and the 12th Final Fantasy installment is limited to the appearance of the Bangaa and Viera races as well as Judges. | | | Despite taking place in the same world, Final Fantasy XII's setting and story will differ greatly from Tactics, as they take place in a different time as the tale of Ramza and Delita. | | | While the latter were representing order in Tactics Advance, they stand for power and authority in Final Fantasy XII; as the threatening figure towering above the game's logo illustrates. |
