Hey Wes, have you been playing Final Fantasy XII? I didn't get to Kalamazoo to pick up my copy until Friday night, and didn't get to play until Saturday. I woke up at 7:30am to drop off my car for some repair work, then spent the
entire day playing until 9:00pm. I realize that might not sound very impressive to some people, but for me, that's really saying something. I haven't been able to spend an entire day in front of a console game in years!
I didn't get to play at all yesterday, so I'm already going through withdrawals. The game is really, really good! Contrary to my fears, the battle system is actually a lot of fun and makes for a smooth, easy, and fun fight. I really like the real time battles because I've never been a fan of the "invisible" random encounters and the immediacy of the fighting is much smoother than transitioning into a dedicated battle screen.
Anyway, here is a trailer for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, a game for the Nintendo DS. This is certainly an interesting departure for Square Enix...
