The Last Story is the latest title from Mistwalker, the Japanese developer founded by none other than Sakaguchi Hironobu, the creator of Final Fantasy. Hironobu left Square before they became Square Enix and set up Mistwalker with the help of Microsoft which led to two Xbox 360 exclusives, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Neither of these titles hit the kind of heights that the Final Fantasy series had achieved, and though strongly reminiscent of his previous work, they lacked the same polish. Expectations were understandably mixed when Mistwalker announced The Last Story and not least because of the fact it was a Wii title. With the Wii’s poor reputation among the hard core gaming community, it was surely a brave and possibly rash move. But has it paid off?
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
