Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings

w00t, I gots my import copy in the mail today. It is in Japanese for the most part and I cannot understand a word but I can safely say that the game is a lot of fun and easy to get into, I doubt you need the translations for anything other then the story. The gameplay is simplistic and freestyle instead of turn based,I have not figured out how to use magic yet, but you only play as your main character but during each stage you are usually joined by partners. The graphics are nice, however it looks like the characters were just placed into the level and dont really blend with the design. There is some excellent CGI footage in the game though and the music is great. I can't wait for it to come out here, too bad it might not be out in English till next year. Dang though, Square Enix now needs to translate 3 DS games that I want to get in English, Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker and FF12: RW. Still though, if you dont mind the Japanese part of importing, I highly suggest you get your hands on a copy.

Why didn't you just wait for the translated version? I'm not sure what the point of buying a game that you can't undesrstand is, especially an RPG.-Murdock-

Yeah importing when you can't read the language is rather a strange one but not uncommon.

sounds cool, but i think i'll wait until the NA version comes out, i like to understand the story =)jem_gal

For those that dont know, Square said that the game will not be out in North America until earlynext yearmost likely, that company has a lot on their hands, what with TacticsA2, Tactics: The Lion War, remakes of FF 1 & 2, FF13 and its various projects as well as Crystal Chronicles for both the DS and Wii, they are taking on a lot, and those arent even all the games they are developing, there are still several more no doubt.

But the point is it WILL be out in North America and playing a game in my language without the distraction and gameplay disrupting manual translation from constantly referring to FAQs, is something most people are willing to wait for. Not to mention by the time the game hits NA, any issues that may arrise have a good chance of being worked out before hitting shores.
