One of the most highly anticipated DS games has seen its first reviews appear in the Japanese press. The quarterly Dengeki DS & Wii Style will go down in history as having provided the first reviews of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XII sequel, Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings.
Three editors from the six strong review staff shared scores and opinions on the game. Misawa, a super hardcore gamer who likes western games, gave the game an 85 out of 100. Wakasama, a super hardcore gamer who loves locking himself up with RPGs and simulation games and buys games on release day even if he doesn't have time to play them, awarded the title 90 out of 100. Finally Tarou Hayashi, a game fan who'll try out any genre but has recently found himself playing action and puzzle games, gave the title a 90 out of 100 and flagged it with a "recommended" mark.
Revenant Wings made significant, brave changes to the Final Fantasy formula and it's for that reason that it should be reintroduced to the fanbase.
Square couldn't be bothered remaking the DS KH games for the collections so it's safe to say they won't bother with this game ever again
They ported The World Ends With You to two other devices so there’s always a possibility even if it’s small
I love how we never got a nice little sequel/prequel for VIII or IX but somehow XII and XIII did...boggles my mind
Maybe Square didn't deem them good enough to have a continuation? Also, wasn't XIII planned as a 3 part series from the beginning?
But XII was?
I liked XII, don't get me wrong but if VIII and IX wern't good enough then I don't know how XII was
I think FF13 was planned as one when they wanted to milk the shit out of it after launch, using cut assets
Hidden amongst the more popular sequels are several others that have largely been forgotten - many of them for good reason.

With the success Square Enix has with the DS it'll be amazing if they release any other big game on a different system in the next few years. Or maybe they'll do what they did with this title. Make one for Sony and make the sequel for the DS!
In any event I'm rather happy that portable gaming is coming into fashion ^^ should of happened long ago. Thank you DS for making it so. Also thank you PSP for showing that a handheld can be as suped up as a console
Looking hot. If the Japanese press like it - it must be good!
