The Last Story

BUMP because the first trailer has appeared:

It's looking better than I thought. See how it turns out.

That trailer did nothing to make me not think that it looks like the ultimate cliche.

That being said, it does look kind of fun.
The battle system looks interesting, to say the least.

It looks pretty good. And the battle system looks interesting to say.
Not FFXII
Not Dragon age
And not monster hunter.

But perhaps something inbetween. We'll see for sure later on.

Some more updates... some more screens and character art!

And I am loving both!

I really love the design and feel of the game. it's so tight. I HOPE it gets localized.

[Prpl_Mage]

Well those looks great, not sure about the girl with the exposed belly though, don't seem like a good idea when you're a fighter. But hey - fanservice is fanservice.

Looks great, hope they release it over here. For some reason some games just don't make it to the stores.

this reminds me of a slightly convoluted final fantasy clone that (to its own credit, but not enough to make me want it) tries to make itself a bit less effeminate and sci-dork...but the music is uninteresting. The battle theme especially may as well have been a direct FF riff. Perhaps my mind will change, but this looks stupid.

[fruckert]

I honestly have to agree with Gem on this one, I can't see myself buying this...I've been burned way too many times buying FF type stuff lately.
Except for Lost Odyssey, which I can say I honestly like, despite there being 4 discs for basically graphics.

Last Story.
Final Fantasy.

I see the connection.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

The creator is this , is the creator of the original Final Fantasy games. So yeah, resemblance is obvious.

Also, this might be his last game. Or more like, will be.

Also battle wise, it's free roam, first and third person play mixed. So its not like final fantasy.

[Archem]

Final Fantasy was supposed to be Square's last game. Then it ended up being super-popular, so they made sequels. Lots of sequels.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Yep, but he says he's gonna retire after this (he's old), as for his current team though, they've said that if the game hits, they might work on another one.


Though, recently, it's been going that he didn't say that. That what he meant to say was that he was working on this as if he was going to retire.


It's PR really. Either way, I still trust this game to do wonders. Specially being a co-Nintendo  game.

Also it's rumored that they cancelled Cry-on for this game.

There's been a lot of updates since August (multiplayer, screenshots, magic system, wii bundles, boxart, release date)

But recently it was unveiled that Nobuo Uematsu is the music composer. Which is sweet. There had been rumors going about since june, but yay.

Good old Nobs
He's up there near Koji Kondo and Dave Wise.
Ahh, Dave...

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

I forgot to add the trailer for the most recent.

Which btw, worries me a little.

From the looks of the trailer I caught some similarities between this and FF13 and FF9 along with some cliche lines.

Good music though.

I'm more of a Yasunori Mitsuda fan myself.
