While fanboyism is rampant in wiki, some editors work as hard as they could to give accurate info. i rather doubt forums like the one in gamefaqs, THAT's fanboyism incarnate.

Anyway, relation to FFXII? Herebe spoilers.

quote

All six main characters make their return, it DOES have Ashe, and also including the boy emperor, the bounty hunter, the three pirate assistants, three familiar faces from rabanastre, and the moogle mechanic.

Old locations like Rabanastre will return, though the story mainly takes place in the purvama lemures, a floating continent like Bhujerba.

The game plays as a real-time strategy, no more turn-based. There are quickenings, one for each character.

All the espers except a few will also return to the game, albeit new ones named after past FF summons and monsters.

You control an airship early in the game, and this airship will be your base of operations.

vaan and penelo's relationship will be revealed in a secret ending. in RW, their relationship is somewhat disturbed by a certain character.

blah, that's all I'm writing here for now.
