During early January to late March 2003 (about a month before the game came out in Japan), a radio show called Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Radio Edition was played across four japanese radio stations. The radio show expanded on some parts of the story as well as various changes in the plot, though still largely the same. Some of these changes includes all the main characters being transported instantly to Ivalice after Mewt reads a spell from the book, a very early introduction to Montblanc's brother (Nono), and a small side story involving Nono's now-named airship (Brilliante).
