World
As with every Final Fantasy, the style of this world is unique, appearing to blend both modern and medieval aesthetics. The main character's country appears as very advanced and modern, as one example, while their neighbors appear to have remained in an era similar to the European Middle Ages. The main power in the world are the Crystals. All the countries (aside from the protagonist's) have had them at one time, only to lose them in continual warfare. They had pooled their resources into weapons, granting them advanced rifles rather than swords and magic. Now, only the main character's country has a Crystal, triggering debate over its use as it is beneficial to the military. Recently, a peace treaty was discussed (Mentioned in the radio in the JF trailer). However, marauders with guns invade the city as the main character battles them, disrupting the peace.

Characters
* The protagonist is a mysterious young man with dark blue-ish black hair with matching eyes. He is the last heir to a dynasty, ruling the only remaining city in the world which controls crystals. He protects his home from marauders that plan to conquer the city and take the crystals as their own. He wields a number of different weapons, including swords, spears, and lances, and can even induce them (telekinetically or otherwise) to independently move in the air to form a whirling barrier around himself. He has also demonstrated the power of instantaneous teleportation. His physical features seem to change depending on his actions, as his eye color(noticeably only his right eye) turns red when holding his sword and his hair flashes white when teleporting. Nomura has said that his eye color will change to more colors, some scans have shown him with bright yellow eyes when holding a different sword, and other colors like green. As hinted by Nomura, it has been shown he can use magic as surrounding the white-robed figure with numerous swords.
* Nomura has also confirmed that a heroine, parallel to the protagonist, will be present in the game.[1]
* Mysterious soldiers. These unknown warriors wear medieval-styled armor, but also carry assault rifles resembling modern automatic weapons.
* White-robed figure: A new character wearing all white (a possibly symbolic contrast from the protagonist's darker clothing) introduced in the new trailer. The character is seen in protagonist's building near the castle as they both cast spells at each other, implying that they are enemies

(via Gaming Today) - In a similar fashion as to when Final Fantasy Tactics was first released, Revenant Wings is a new take on the Final Fantasy series. It’s not the standard turn-based JRPG that comprise most Final Fantasy games, nor is it a hardcore tactics game. (12/21/2007 at 8:32AM)
