<!--Remember, this is based on the PS version.-->
The story takes place in the kingdom of Ivalice, inspired by the [[Middle Ages]].<ref name="IGN Preview" /><ref name="FFT" /> The kingdom is located in a peninsula surrounded by sea on the north, west and south, with a [[headland]] south of the landmass. It is heavily populated by human beings, although intelligent monsters can be found living in less populated areas. Magic is predominant in the land, although ruins and artifacts indicated that the past populace had relied on machinery, such as airships and robots. Ivalice's neighbors are the kingdom of Ordalia in the east and Romanda, a military nation to the north. While the three nations share common royal bloodlines, major wars have taken place between them. An influential religious institution known as the Glabados Church heads the dominant faith, centering around a religious figure known as Saint Ajora.<ref name="FFT">{{cite video game|title=Final Fantasy Tactics |developer=[[Square (video game company)|Square]] |publisher=Square Co.|date=June 20, 1997|platform=PlayStation}}</ref>

The story takes place after Ivalice ended its war with the two nations in what is known as the Fifty Years War, and is facing economic problems and political strife. The king of Ivalice has recently died and his heir is an infant, so a regent is needed to rule in place of the prince. The kingdom is split between two candidates named Prince Goltana, represented by the Black Lion, and Prince Larg, symbolized by the White Lion. The conflict leads to what is known in the game as the Lion War. Behind this backdrop is a revelation by the game's historian Alazlam J. Durai, who seeks to reveal the story of an unknown character whose role in the Lion War was major but was covered up by the kingdom's church.<ref name="FFT" />
