Nintendo DS News | Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings Euro Date Confirmed [news]

Wows o.0;! So Square are gonna be releasing games in EU quicker than I thought they would... well I'll probably be getting this then

S-E's really picking up speed in Europe, that's for sure. Very pleasing indeed!

Yes, that's right. A definite upturn for S-E.
I hope they let us chose which lagnuage we want to play in. I don't want German. German sounds ewww in RPGs.

I'm sure it will be the usual start-up screen where you pick the chosen language.

And FFXII: RW is definitely very impressive. I've been playing my US copy for quite a while now and loving it to bits!

Do you need to play the original ff12 on the ps2 in order to understand this game because I haven't got around to playing it and I don't think I ever will.

My only problem with this game is that the battle tends to be damn slow. Besides that, the rest is great.

It's a real-time strategy game, mOojc, they're all slow!

And no, you don't need to know about FFXII in general to enjoy this. The story holds up well on its own...Of course it's 'nice' to have played the PS2 game, since you are already familiar with the characters, but it's certainly not integral to the enjoyment of FFXII: RW.

It's just that I would love if there was an option that could speed up their movements, even if it was a tiny increase.

Wow does this still count as a decent release delay, it's already out in the US and europe has to wait until mid February??!!

Do Squeenix not know the DS is region free or what?

Outside of weird Nintendo dark ages land, people moaned about Ace Combat 6's release delays:

NA October 23, 2007
JP November 1, 2007
EU November 23, 2007
AUS December 13, 2007

True, but S-E's European division is certainly pulling up its socks a bit more. FFCC: RoF and The World Ends With You are both coming to Europe soon after, if not even before the US.

mOojc, what gets me down more is how the AI of your team, whilst great in battle, is poor when it comes to picking the right route. More often than not a couple of team members will just barge into a wall and get stuck instead of going all the way round like they should. The only other annoyances for me are the static camera (since players can get hidden) and how if there are too many characters close together, nobody can get through the crowd without having to move some out of the way first Other than that, I really like it...

I agree completely. The AI can be extremely stupid at times and when you have a large army at your control it can be quite frustrating having to look after each one of them. I also have another problem pressing attack on an enemy. It keeps registering that command as walk. Maybe it's just my touch screen getting worn out.
