For those of you who haven’t played Tactics Advance before, the world map is completely different from anything in almost any other Final Fantasy game out there. Whenever Marche unlocks a new location, you get to figure out where to put it on the map.
There’s no “right” way to arrange everything, but you can get the occasional reward if you put a certain town in a certain place. I’m going to follow AstroBlue’s Sengoku Fukkatsu guide.
Sprohm - 14 Lutia - 8 Nubs - 9 Eluut - 6 Ulei - 5 Cadoan - 15 Aisen - 18 Roda - 4 Koring - 10 Salika - 22 Nargai - 13 (Red Boots) Baguba - 16 Dorsa - 7 (Materite) Kudik - 24 Jeraw - 2 (Excalibur) Muscadet - 21 Uladon - 1 (Scarab) Gotor - 12 Ahli - 3 (Genji Armlets) Delia - 17 (Princess Guard) Ozmon - 23 (Gastra Bow) Materi - 20 (Red Boots) Tubola - 19 (Genji Helm & Genji Shield) Helj - 26 Deti - 11 (Materia Blade) Siena - 25 (Estreledge)
I can’t imagine any playthrough in which I won’t be needing all the Genji gear, so I’m going to follow these numbers. Slow payoff, but ultimately worth it, I’m guessing.
This map system is designed to be something players can experiment with for replayability’s sake. There really is no “canon” map for Tactics Advance Ivalice, and that’s important to keep in mind while progressing through the game.
