Matsuno created the world of Ivalice as place with rich and detailed history, and expanded it through multiple titles until he left Square Enix in 2005. The setting saw continued use through a collection dubbed the Ivalice Alliance. Due to its incorporation in Final Fantasy XII, it has been described by developers as becoming more Square Enix's setting than Matsuno's. The setting has been an influence on future Final Fantasy titles, and seen limited commentary on its themes and design compared to other entries within the franchise.
