Written on the Gran Grimoire

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is the sequel to the Game Boy Advance Strategy role-playing game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Development

A brand new region of Ivalice is used for Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, with the game taking place at the junction of two landmasses, one of which is far-western Ordalia. The jobs system from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance returns, with Action Abilities, Reaction Abilities and Passive (Support) Abilities. The Laws System has been revised slightly–restrictions, like 'no moving three spaces', are set up in the beginning of an engagement but the player can also select a beneficial clan privilege like Speed↑.

Story

Template:Spoilers The story takes place in St. Ivalice, and begins on the last day of school before summer vacation. Before being allowed to begin summer vacation, Luso is sent to help Mr. Randell the librarian clean up the library as punishment for his mischievous behavior and perpetual tardiness. Inside the library, Luso finds a stange book with exciting pictures of wizards and monsters, the latter half of which is mysteriously blank. On the last written page, the book asks who will be the hero to complete the story. Being a mischievious child, Luso writes his own name and is immediately transported to the world of Ivalice.

Meanwhile, Cid and members of his Clan were hunting a Crushatrice named Klesta (a monster that is involved in a sub plot). Luso drops in out of the sky to appear in the middle of the battle, helpless and confused. Cid quickly saves Luso by telling him he must join their clan for the battle by swearing an oath to the Judge. Luso then becomes a soldier and helps the clan defeat the Crushatrice, who flees after a while.

After that, they head for Wood Village, a small town in Targ Wood. There, Cid shows Luso the Clan and both discuss what will be of Luso's future. Then, Luso notices that he brings a journal within his garments, which hold written his story. Cid and Luso decide to leave Targ wood, and find more about the journal, but they also hear that the road to Camoa of Thieves. Cid then tells Luso of a contact he has in Camoa, and the clan heads there, defeating the Thieves in the path.

In Camoa, Cid and Luso find Ribs, a Seeq streetear. He tells them that he has information about some mages, but will only hand it after they pay him with a tomato stalk. The clan then hunts for Deadly Nightshades, and in the middle, they meet Adelle, a poacher who cares about nothing other than Gil. They obtain the tomato stalk, but in the end, Adelle runs with a big portion of the loot, which enrages Cid. On their return to Camoa, the clan learns more about Adelle, who is called "The Cat", and about Lezaford, a mythic mage of old, who seems to be living at present time. Ribs also tells Cid and Luso where to find him, as well as Adelle's probable destination.
