Revenant Wings.. I haven't really had anything else to do, so I've only played that. Oh, and slept a bit. =D Right now I have 50% completion if you can trust the in-game counter. Just got to chapter 6, haven't even really started it as I wanted to check out the optional missions first.

It really is surprisingly entertaining! Maybe it's the controls. They're really good, so playing is a pleasure (well, as long as you don't go as overboard as I do with it. Once again, my hands are hurting...that darn DS needs to be lighter, a measly few hours like this wouldn't affect me at all on a console)
I'm really liking the story this far, even though rather serious things are happening it doesn't drown in the angst. It could just be that most of the people are obviously not very attached to Lemures, so the situation doesn't really matter to them that much. Just a bunch of outsiders wanting to help. While it does give it a good flavor suitable for handhelds..it takes something away, too. Not enough to be noticeable while you play (it's too addicting for that!) but when you think of it afterwards...

I was really surprised to notice that everything seems to point at the Winged Judge being Mydia. But Mydia is a Viera, right? O.o; Totally didn't expect that. If they really do turn out to be the same person..how are they going to explain her feet? Plus it must be painful having those bunny ears folded up inside that helmet...

The game has a somewhat weird system for obtaining Quickenings. Weird, but not in a good way. Just didn't expect that. It does make sense in a way, to gain them after Esper fights. For now, I've defeated Ultima and Hashmal in addition to Belias. Of those, Ultima was by far the hardest. Managed to kill everyone else but Penelo, and I was stuck summoning things through a handy summon gate she chased me down to, hoping the gate could keep it up fast enough. I didn't really have time to switch to the other gates, either. In the end, it was Shiva who defeated her for me. She's surprisingly sturdy with four in-battle level ups. :P

I like the License Ring for some reason. Not too complicated, perfectly suitable for a handheld game. The only thing that annoys me is that there's four affinities+neutral and you can only have three sets of Yarhi saved. Then you constantly have to change them around... I've ended up with generic Thunder, Fire and Water sets that I modify as needed on a per battle basis.
I'm nearing the borders now, trying to gather enough Auracite to be able to activate the remaining level III Yarhi. Even though I never use the Earth elemental ones, and rarely use the neutral ones, I still obsessively form pacts with them. So for now, only four level III ones activated.

I wonder if there are any extra challenges in RW.. I heard that Yiazmat is available. Hmm... I keep wondering if I should stop and train, but even as I am all the extra missions and storyline missions feel a bit easier than they did to start with. I don't necessarily want to overlevel in this game.. Right now I'm level 25-29 (..damn you, Penelo. Why do you get so little exp? *shakes head*)

Now, to go to sleep or continue playing... hmmm.....
