After three weeks of deep immersion in FF XII (the PS2 game), my expectations were probably too high for Revenant Wings. I suspended disbelief willingly at first, then with some effort, and finally not at all -- RW gets worse, over time. Like FF Tactics, this is a battle rattle for RTS boys, with a glut of sophomoric Japanese idealistic fantasizing about teamwork, plus a few cloyingly sweet short movies for FF's other demographic, infantile girls. But seriously folks, I have a real beef with the creators of this game: The gratuitous gory details about viera outcasts were peurile and underdramatized, to quote Wednesday Adams. With all the possibilities in that backstory, to just chop it off undeveloped was sad and very rude. It would have been better not to mention it at all.Buy Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings!
