Written by veterans of the original development team, the story once again focuses on Ramza Beoulve’s descendants and the continuing cycle of conflict in Ivalice. Themes of class struggle, corruption, and destiny take center stage, challenging players to question who truly fights for justice — and who hides behind the mask of power.
