Executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu explained that the aim of the "Ivalice Alliance" is to "spread the word about the world of Ivalice", and to bring more players into the franchise, with new titles not restricted to the standard role-playing game genre but also tactical games and games similar to "Vagrant Story". "Revenant Wings" director Motomu Toriyama noted that with the large and original team that worked on "Final Fantasy XII", Ivalice became more Square Enix's world than that of the former Quest team, and that the "Ivalice Alliance" world is thus slightly more influenced by "Final Fantasy XII" than the earlier Ivalice titles.
