FF XII's supervising producer/director, Yasumi Matsuno, was an important part of the teams that did Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and Vagrant Story. He also got really sick several months ago so now he's not actively in any of those positions, but it's still all of his ideas at work. We'll be seeing some influences from those past games in FF XII, definitely. I could list all kinds of other similarities, but you can do the research yourself: here's a good starting point.
