If its like Tactics, were in for a treat :)
Like FF tactics also not bad, i like ff tactic much, but too bad FF 12 : RV realease on NDS... no money buy...
I'd be over that like Rye on a Frenchman. Blitzball > all real sports.
Anyway, I can't blame Squeenix for making more games for each FF universe, primarily because many fans (Myself included) have been asking (ie rabidly clamoring) for more stuff, such as a remake or sequel to VII.
There's nothing wrong with portables. I can't see why people dislike/loath or even hate it so much... Why? Because people who can't/are not allowed to buy TV-consoles get to play games as well?
Buying a DS Lite was no mistake, is no mistake and never shall be a mistake, if you want my opinion. ;)
It's one of the most beautiful gaming machine ever created. And no, I'm not a Nintendo fan, I like Sony just as much, if you were wondering about that.
Actually, I'm in the same boat as RiseToFall. I don't own a DS either because I sit on my ass and never go anywhere, but I could just sit on my ass and play it too... But many portable games are made with literally being portable in mind and nothing else and those don't really interest me... Hmm, but if all this Square love turns out well who knows I may buy one after all.
And I agree with Milf, many fans like sequels and remakes and such, and I do as well :jess:. I guess I don't really look at it as "MilKinNG ZOMg" so much as "Expanding a universe I love." (or hopefully will love in this case). Some turn out well...some don't... I'd rather take the good with the bad concerning sequels and spin-offs.
Besides, the Final Fantasy series is already up to XIII, that's the very essence of 'milking' in the first place. If they didn't milk we wouldn't even have XII to begin with :spin:

The latest issue of Famitsu holds some new details about one of the new DS RPGs from Square-Enix, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
The game mainly focuses on Vaan and Penelo, who are 18 and 17, respectively. The battle system for the game will be controlled by the DS's stlyus, as the game is a strategy game or sorts. There's no real timeline for the game, the story just mainly focuses on the fact that Vaan and Penelo being air pirates. The game will end up exploring the parts of the relationship between the two characters that the original Final Fantasy XII game could not, and Penelo's dancing ability will apparently play a much larger role in this game.
So far, no US or Japanese release date has been announced. Updates will be made when available.
Possibly, it could be an alternate universe type of thing. Anyways, here is some propaganda and people who will be on board to making this game

Penelo pulled a Yuna and got sexy!=P
I am now officialy excited for this game. ^^
Judging from the news I read, this isn't just a 'sequel', if you can call it that, but a completely new title, with it's own independant story. That's great, no? Of course with connectiosn to the official XII, but you get what I mean. And are those FMV scenes? 0_o Looks like this game will feature more than just one! (Like FF III DS).
Another thing to look forward too. Good thing we'll get so many Final Fantasy titles next year, otherwise, waiting would be unbearable... Now I can just finish all those Advance titles + FF III DS while waiting for this one.
The official website has been opened

Earlier today, Square-Enix launched the official web site for their new DS RPG, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
While the site is in Japanese, anyone can visit it and see the trailer for the game and download media such as a wallpaper. There are other things like character descriptions, but only those who understand Japanese can understand the descriptions.
To visit the web site, go here

So far, no Japanese or US release date for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings has been announced. Updates will be made when available.
The trailer looked good. I do hope, however, taht what we saw were actually FMV's that will be in the game and not some pre-made movie stuff to make us excited <_<
I also read somewhere that this technically isn't FF XII-2, but the next FF. Kinda like this: FF XII, FF XII.5, FF XIII. I believe it was ING where I saw it, don't know if that's a valid source. All I know is that I'm pretyy confident that this won't be like X-2 (I haven't played it, but a lot of people say it's bad.) I'm happy that a Nintendo consoles gets a 'part' of the main series, in a way. It's not just a little spin-off title, but a stand-alone game with some conenctiosn to a previous FF. Awesomeness, I would say. :)
My only fear is that we'll get a lot of DS-bashing now, like: "OMG this should be on PS2!" "DS sucks! This needs to be on PSP!", you know, that stuff.
Yay! I have a DS... FF12 first plzthx *slaps square*
I want my FF12 ;_;
