Story

Revenant WingsFinal Fantasy XII Revenant Wings (ファイナルファンタジーXII レヴァナント・ウィング) is a video game for the Nintendo DS, and a sequel of the role-playing game Final Fantasy XII. The game features Final Fantasy XII characters Vaan, now an 18-year-old air pirate with his own airship, and Penelo, Vaan's 17-year-old navigator. Their treasure-hunting adventures take them to the floating continent of Bluvalma and the ground below, where their story begins. Other returning characters from Final Fantasy XII, such as Balthier and Fran, are also playable, along with a few new faces.

Revenant WingsThe game will be directed and plotted by Motomu Toriyama, who also directed Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy XIII. According to Toriyama, the game is aimed at Nintendo DS owners who are not experienced with Final Fantasy games, and will remove "overly complicated elements from the battle system...that will allow (the player) to defeat the enemies with minimal controls." Like with Final Fantasy X-2, the airship will be available to the player as soon as the game starts. The game will feature a sprite-based graphics engine with prerendered backgrounds and character designs by Ryuma Itou (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance).

Revenant WingsPreliminary reports on the battle system have indicated that the game will have a modified version of Final Fantasy XII's Active Dimension Battle system; however, it can be played entirely with the stylus. Like in FFXII, battles initiate once the party comes in contact with the enemy, and the characters will attack automatically. The player will be given the option to use the stylus to give commands to the characters by tapping on them with the stylus. It will be possible to change their target, set gambits, use various abilities, and more. Area spells can be cast by drawing a rectangle around the enemy with the stylus. Espers will return in Revenant Wings and will have a larger role than in Final Fantasy XII; Toriyama has said Revenant Wings will have more summons than any previous Final Fantasy game.

Review

Revenant WingsSo far from the trailers presented at the Jump Festa and the promotional screenshots released, we can tell that it is going to be a success. Even thought the gameplay is going to be simplified, it appears that graphics and colour are at Square Enix's best. All the shots have a final fantasy ix feel to them, it is very bright and vibrant, but at the same time, is realistic, much like Final Fantasy XII. Music appears to be of a similar score to FFXII, but we are told that there will be some new tracks in its soundtrack. As of the simplified Gameplay, it's going to probably appeal to a wider market, hopefully increasing SE sales. Check back soon for more details once more footage and images have been released.
