Yea this is pretty insane. I was hoping to finish the game the other day, before I got extremely busy. I need some more time to finish this game. I almost bought FF Tactics(PSP) today by the way. My PSP rules! I just bought a USB cable, so I can put pc files on the PSP.Yea this is pretty insane. I was hoping to finish the game the other day, before I got extremely busy.

EDIT:
I beat the game! I beat Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings!!!
It took 68 hours for a truly 100% completion rate! I had to level up my characters continously in the Midlight's Deep Dungeon(50,000 exp for main 5 characters and 10,000 exp for the other 4 characters). I used: Lluyd, Filo, Kytes, Penelo, and Basch. Filo was at a lower level than the others but the top 4 I had at an average of level 76.5! That levelling up took a while, because I wanted to be properly prepared for the final battle. Also, I completed all the Recipes for forging weapons!
Here's a tip, in the final two chapters, focus on levelling up those 5 characters I listed specifically. This is because those are the characters that you will use in the final battle, and you don't want them to be far behind the other characters in development. They should be high, around level 70 maybe. Also, you are going to need some Gems(Materials) for each of the four main elements to use the Recipes for forging the ultimate weapons. Even completing everything you will not get enough of it. What you need to do is level up at Midlight's Deep Dungeon and complete the first 6 levels. The 6th level has treasure chests that gives you those Gems, which you need. After beating the 6th level, you can start over, or complete the final four. Completing the final four levels of Midlight's Deep Dungeon will take longer than doing the first six. At the end of Level 10 you beat Yiazmat, get a huge upgrade(this is repeatable) for Vaan's ultimate sword Anastasia, and get some of those Gems. If you are not worried about the Anastasia upgrade and just want to quickly get levels and Gems, just repeat the first 6.
The final level was amazing! It's a two part level called "Revenant Wings". The first half of it is the main part of it. Use Lluyd, Filo, Kytes, Penelo, and Basch, with all the top equipment. I used for Espers Bahamut, Wyvern, and Carbuncles. Don't use Rank I Espers. Fortify all three of those Espers four or five times. In the start of the level dismiss your Rank I espers. Then summon Bahamut into Basch's group, it'll be those two in a group. I gave Penelo four or five Carbuncles. Kytes was by himself. Lluyd and Kytes both have tons of Wyverns. Have everybody attack the left arm of Feolthanos and the monsters summoned there. Have Basch and Bahamut stand closer to the stairs though. Basch and Bahamut can fend off attackers by themselves, as the enemy Espers approach them from the stairs and from the right arm. Yea, Basch and Bahamut are extremely powerful in FF XII: RW. As Lluyd and Filo get their Quickenings, dismiss their Wyverns and put them into another person's group, one at a time, so that all five leaders get their Quickenings. Save all those Quickenings for later. Once you beat the left arm move to the right arm of Feolthanos. Have Basch stand near the stairs with Bahamut and fend off monsters coming down the stairs. Have Lluyd, Filo, and Kytes attack the right arm and the monsters nearby it. Have Penelo between those three and Basch, healing everybody. After beating both arms and disabling both enemy summoning gates, fortify all three Espers you are using four or five times and make sure all five characters have Quickenings. Don't forget to immediately revive leaders if they die. If Penelo and Lluyd both die, you probably will need to restart the level, don't let them both die.
Next, have Lluyd and Filo's group climb the stairs and attack Feolthanos' torso and the monsters summoning their. Watch them! When monsters appear, attack them one by one until they are gone, then continue attacking Feolthanos. Oh, also you should have moved Bahamut from Basch's group to either Filo or Lluyd's group. While Filo/Lluyd's groups are on the stairs, have Penelo and her Carbuncles and Kytes and Basch stand on the ground to the right of the platform. They should not be in the top floor or the stairs or at the bottom of the stairs, but at the ground to the right of Feolthanos. They can heal the allies and do ranged attacks. Watch Feolthanos' HP. When it gets to 60%, move either Filo or Lluyd's group next to Penelo/Kytes/Basch, and out of the way. Move the group that doesn't have Bahamut, I'll explain why. Leave the Bahamut group to attack Feolthanos. When Feolthanos gets to 50% HP he'll summon an enemy Bahamut and other Monsters. Immediately(Immediately!) when this happens, have the Bahamut group run quickly away down the stairs and to where everybody else are, they should not be at the bottom of the stairs but where the other allies are. After commanding them to move, use three Quickenings! Use the ones for Basch(protection), Filo(Haste), and Lluyd(Fortify Espers) immediately!! Feolthanos will shoot out his ultimate attack of a white light in a line extending from him, which does extreme damage. It kills or severely damages anything in it's pathway. If you are not levelled up and not fortified or have low HP, everybody could die all at once! That's why you need to level up before this battle, fortify your espers in the battle, select the proper leaders and Espers, prepare your Quickenings and use your status enhancing abilities. Move everybody out of the way, and lure the enemy Bahamut and his group out to fight you. Use Kytes Quickening on Bahamut. Don't use Penelo's Quickening yet, even if many Espers have died or have low HP. After Bahamut is gone and those Monsters die, use all your Status enhancing abilities to power yourself up. Then wait until Feolthanos uses his White Light type attack, then once he did that, go up the stairs and attack him. Leave Penelo and her Carbuncles and Kytes and Basch in the hiding place to the right of Feolthanos on the ground, to use their ranged attacks and not be harmed. Have Lluyd and Filo's group of Wyverns and Bahamut and those two go up the stairs and attack Bahamut. Make sure you keep summoning Espers and fortifying them. Feolthanos will hit you with his ultimate attack. Once he does that, immediately(immediately!) use Penelo's Quickening, which you have wisely saved until now. Then continue to hit Feolthanos and beat the level!
Then you get to the second half of the level. The part right before the fight is extremely ultimate and reminds me of when you talk to Kefka before beating Final Fantasy VI. You start out using only Vaan to attack Feolthanos. Use Vaan's steal abilities on Feolthanos. When Vaan gets to 50% hp all 8 other leaders appear and you all attack Feolthanos in his final form. This battle doesn't take long. Just make sure not to let Vaan die. Also, use Vaan's abilities. The ending of the game is extremely ultimate and one of the very best ever. The final cutscene is great and gives ultimate cool info. We may get a sequel!
I think this game may be better than Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, and I mean overall not just a pound for pound comparison considering that FF XII: RW is a DS game and FF XII is a PS 2 game. FF XII: RW may be overall better than FF XII! It's an amazing game, and my earlier ratings I gave to FF XII: RW still apply...
10/10: Story
10/10: Characters

The game took 68 hours with 100% sidequests and completion rate! At the end of the game it lists your mission completion rate, Ring of Pacts completion rate, and Recipe completion rate. Get all Recipes! It's part of the 100% completion rate requirements. Get those Gem Materials at Midlight's Deep floor 6 and floor 10. Also there are some Gems in the final Melee Battles on Ivalice I think. I rate games out of 7 stars and I give this game a 6 out of 7 stars. It actually wasn't too far from 7 stars, just needed better controls/battle system basically. The Polish rating was 9/10 mainly because you had to buy and sell stuff one at a time, and all other rpg's have you able to do multiple sales at one time. I've only given 6 games 7 out of 7 stars by the way. This game was amazing and I beat it just on time, Christmas Eve, considering my relatives might have bought me a game for Christmas(Alundra 1, FF I(PSP), or FF Tactics(PSP)). But I am on vacation and won't get their present until a week and a half probably, so I'll read in the meantime I think.
My final thoughts are that this game was legendary and I loved every minute of it! Everybody who loves Rpg's should drop what they are doing and buy this game. Even people who don't follow rpg's but have a DS should try this game also. I wish their was a sequel to this game, hopefully there will be one. The final battle was so fun that I think that I'll continue to beat it just for fun. It reminds me of the Final Fantasy VI final battle, it was so cool! I love Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings!!!!!!
