Ivalice: a kingdom blessed by the light of the gods and ruled by the two-headed lion. One year after his defeat against Ordallia in the Fifty Years' War, the king succumbed to illness, leaving a simple two-year-old boy to ascend the throne.
He who was named regent would truly reign, and thus emerged two rival candidates: Dukes Goltanna and Larg, whose deeds during the war had earned them great renown.
Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion were destined to clash, and the resulting conflict would be known as the Lion War.
Against this backdrop appear Ramza, the third son of House Beoulve, one of the major military families of Ivalice, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised among the nobles.
As they strive to chart a course through this tumultuous age, a powerful current draws them ever closer to the abyss.
