Zodiac Brave Story Sound Novels
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Zodiac Brave Story Sound Novels is a mini-game found only in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Tactics. This mini-game consists of four "sound novels" that are related to the elements in the Zodiac Brave Story section of the game's tutorial. These sound novels have no bearing to the main plot, however, they are interesting side-stories that tell quite a bit of the history of Tactics Ivalice.
Due to time and financial constraints, these sound novels never made it into the English version and was scrapped entirely.
Efforts were made to translate the sound novels mini-game and retain its entirety; the interactivity of the story and even some audio that accompanies the story. Three of the four sound novels have been translated by Mark Rosa a.k.a. DaBubba and made accessible to everyone.
