I am more aware of these things than I care to be, which is bothersome due to how I don't know about important release dates.  I keep thinking that I should not be wasting that storage on a Squenix moneygrab.

Revenant Wings is shockingly solid. The FF12 team produces some pretty decent shit.

Same team?  Really?  I dismiss handheld sequels of real games out of hand, but you have my interest now.  Dammit.

Well. Not all of the same team. The lead designer is the X-2/XIII guy. Music is by Sakimoto and Fukui, who are just fucking fantastic. Sakimoto did do the XII soundtrack though. Character designer is obviously different (full 3D to full 2D characters is a big change, the FFTA guy is handling that). The producer is good as well.

It was also rebalanced for America to be, get this, MORE difficult. It's an RTS title at heart, and Japan doesn't know shit about them in their console world while america is all like, FF Final Fantasy Keke ^_^.
