This game is pretty fun. It has a bit of a learning curve because it's played almost 100% by touch, but still fun.A lot of the levels are repeated a lot though, which leads me to believe they were either avoiding using a larger game cartridge or they were being cheap.
I enjoy this game, it is long and I like that. It has great graphics. Very nice.
Kind of a split between an RPG and Real-Time strategy game. A solid purchase if you're a fan of Final Fantasy or RPG's in general. Takes the traditional battle mechanics in a bit of a different direction, as did FFTactics, but certainly does a good job of holding your attention. Good blend.Lots of fun for all ages if you're into that kind of style. Highly recommended.
While overall this game is not bad, it is frustrating when the difficulty level suddenly increases to the point that you find yourself unable to progress. This is ultimately stupid and a waste of my time. I finally made it to the Chaos battle and could not beat the duel bosses. I tried literally over a hundred times after leaving to level up to the point that I was repeating monster melees to gain levels. On top of that the gameplay eventually does become monotonous (try failing at the same battle that many times and see what I mean) and the story that is told ultimately seems thrown together haphazardly. Overall a game to avoid as it's downfalls outweigh it's pluses.
Instead, each unit has it's own purpose, such as attack or heal, which the unit will do automatically if they're in range. I really wish there were more of them, though.5/5GAMEPLAY: The gameplay might take some time to get used too, seeing as how this isn't Square's typical RPG, but if you give it time, you won't regret it.
After spending well over 100 hours into that game, needless to say I was ecstatic to hear that FF XII was coming to the DS.STORY: The story is good, but definitely not what I expected. Aside from the characters, there really is no connection to FF XII, which isn't a bad thing.
I am a HUGE fan of Final Fantasy, with FF XII being one of my favorites. The cut scenes, while few and far between, are AMAZING.
The story holds it's own, an, most of the characters from FF XII return, along with some new faces.3.5/5GRAPHICS: The graphics are the best I have seen on the DS, bar none. The sprites are cute, and the backgrounds/environments are well-detailed and colorful.
There is no gambit system, like in FF XII, and there are no menus to attack or heal. The lack of any kind of multiplayer is somewhat disheartening, but not much of a big deal.5/5Revenant Wings is my favorite DS game to date (Trauma Center: Under The Knife is a close second), and well-worth the price, HOWEVER, seeing as how divided the opinions are on FF XII, this game will likely be the same way, so you might be better off renting it first or borrowing from a friend, to test it out.Feel free to ask questions or leave a comment.
