A tale of fate, loyalty, and choice
Narratively, Ivalice is a kingdom blessed by divine light and ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after Ordallia’s defeat and amid a regency struggle between two legendary leaders, Ramza and his ally Delita navigate a path through political intrigue, betrayal, and a looming legend. You’ll witness the rise of rival houses, the shifting loyalties of a war-torn era, and a journey that pulls you toward an untold destiny in a world rich with lore.
