 :I believe you are confused with the intended statement in the Legacy section, specifically the paragraph. The paragraph is not arguing that VS took place in a separate universe from the Ivalice of FFXII and FFT. It simply states that Matsuno had conflicting ideas with the lore surrounding VS and the Ivalice games. The reader is free to establish whether VS takes place in the Ivalice of FFT or FFXII, and by Square Enix's standards it seems that they are retconning whatever it is Matsuno had intended.  :The problem with your edit now is lack of verifiable info and the way the statement is written. The argument that in-game allusions establishes game connection is flimsy. Game articles rely on out-of-universe statements such as developer comments for references. :And it's funny that you cited the Final Fantasy Wiki, since I have worked as editor in there, mainly for Ivalice-related articles. —
