Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings review for Nintendo DS
Final Fantasy spin-offs always
suffer from the same problem:
they're not Final Fantasy games.
The role-playing series has had its ups
and downs, but it's one of the most
consistent franchises around. But every
time a developer tries to create
something from the FF universe,
something goes wrong. So, while it's
gratifying that Revenant Wings is one of
the better examples of
such a diversion, it still
has a few niggly flaws
that prevent it from
reaching greatness.
The story follows
directly on from Final
Fantasy XII, with anorexic
space scoundrel Vaan
teaming up with chums
Penelo, Balthier and Fran
to hunt for further
treasure – as pirates do.
Naturally things aren't
quite as simple as
digging up the loot and
splitting the proceeds,
and the four are called
into helping some folks in trouble. Then it all turns a bit Heroes of
Mana, and you're ushered into a realtime
strategy game, with role-playing
trappings for the hardcore fans.
