Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for Nintendo DS&trade is a sequel to the popular PlayStation2™ RPG Final Fantasy XII. One year after the events of Final Fantasy XII, Vaan is now a sky pirate with his own airship, and Penelo, Vaan's navigator and friend. Their treasure-hunting adventures take them to the Floating Continent, or Purvama, of Lemurés and the ground below, where their story begins. Other returning characters from Final Fantasy XII, such as Balthier and Fran, who played major parts in the first game, are also playable, as well as some characters that played minor roles, such as Vaan's orphan friends. There are also new faces, such as Llyud, a member of the Aegyl race, who have wings protruding from their back.

The game features a modified version of Final Fantasy XII's Active Dimension Battle system, which can be played entirely with the stylus. When seen, the battle system looks strikingly like an RTS but with more depth in terms of character attacks and functionality. Like in Final Fantasy XII, battles initiate once the party comes in contact with the enemy, and the characters will attack automatically. The player will be given the option to use the stylus to give commands to the characters by tapping on them with the stylus. It is possible to change their target, set gambits, use various abilities, and more. Area spells can be cast by drawing a rectangle around the enemy with the stylus.
