Hey everybody. I know this should maybe in the recommendation thread, but not a game vs game thing so... Mod feel free to move this if needed.

So... I plan to buy FFXII : Revenant Wings soon since it looks like pretty cool/different FF game and I'm a Final Fantasy freak (played to almost every one of them and finished most of them (or almost finished...)), but I am currently playing FFXII on PS2 and I just freed Ashe from her prison.

So do you think I should wait until I finish the PS2 one before getting the DS to avoid getting spoilers in the DS one? I'm pretty story sensitive (it's for me one of the best aspects of every FF game), so I wouldn't want to get too much spoilers...

So what do you think? (and how much time do you think I have left to finish FFXII, since I'm almost at the beginning).

It doesn't matter. It would certainly help, but a little.

You could still enjoy Revenant Wings without playing FFXII. The games compliment each other more than anything. Meaning, you can play in any order.

FOr example, playing FFXII will make you want to play Revenant Wings. Or playing Revenant Wings would want to make you play FFXII. But if you can, play both.

I highly recommend playing FFXII for the PS2, not because of Revenant Wings but because it's a great game.

Thanks for the reply, but what I meant is that I already own FFXII and am currently playing it, but should I wait until I finish it before I buy Revenant wings? To avoid important spoilers storywise?

I'm pretty sure you won't miss out on anything (or similarly, spoil anything) if you start up Revenant Wings in the middle of the PS2 game.

I personally don't think that finishing FFXII is even a smart idea. It's not worth it...

And why would you say that? It does look like a pretty long game, at least longer than FFX which was big but not as much as FF7 or FF4 at least IMO...

FFXII is an extremely long game imo....just cuz is confusing and really hard at some parts...

I say buy Revenant Wings, but still keep playing FFXII. just have Revenant Wings on standby so when you're done with FFXII, then you'll be able to just hop onto Revenant Wings.

Well the reason that I said that it's not worth finishing the game is because I didn't like the ending at all. That is just what I think...

well i have both. but i never finished the one on ps2. it's difficult and really confusing at a lot of parts.

on the on on ds there's like nothing that you need to catch up on. it'll tell you the basic things you need to know in the beginning and you don't really need to know much just that penelo and vaan are like best friends and they are orphans.

on the ps2 you learn tht vaan's brohter was killed in a war so you should be good.

Sorry for closing, but this does belong in the Game Recommendation Thread.
