A Final Fantasy XII Interview (page 3)

Q: What historical periods influenced the design of the game?

A: Ancient Rome, and periods where Alchemy flourished. We've also looked at Fullmetal Alchemist, which is also currently being developed at Square Enix.

Q: This may be an obvious question, but is war a central theme in the game?

A: War is the central setting, but there are other major themes as well.

Q: Mr. Sakaguchi made a guest appearance at the press conference yesterday. Does that mean he is playing a role in the design process?

Hideo Minaba: I have no direct exchange with Mr. Sakaguchi, although Mr. Matsuno probably consults with him given that Mr. Sakaguchi is the founder.

Q: I've noticed in one of the items on the press kit that lists the release dates of Final Fantasy that Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Advance are listed in there, but are very dim and almost unnoticeable. Will elements of Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Advance be in the game?

A: Final Fantasy Tactics will be more integrated into Final Fantasy XII.

Q: Will Final Fantasy XII have romance between Vaan and Ashe?

A: Romance isn't as prevalent compared to the previous series, but it can go either way. It also might even not be a romantic relationship with those two.
