Few video games—let alone any other sort of media—get as many storytelling elements right as Mistwalker’s The Last Story. The game represents the long-awaited collaboration between two of the greatest figures in video game design, period; director (and head of Mistwalker) Hironobu Sakaguchi, and beloved composer Nobuo Uematsu. Both luminaries are directly responsible for the advancement of the RPG genre, famously creating the first several Final Fantasies together. That being said, the expectations for The Last Story’s design and music are exceptionally high—especially since Sakaguchi has been reported as saying that he worked on the game like it was his last video game, ever (thus the title, The Last Story).
It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.
I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.
As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.
I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
