BT writes: My previous Wii 25-in-25 entry for Xenoblade Chronicles was one of two games that may owe its North American release largely to the efforts of Operation Rainfall and today we will be looking at the other title from that campaign, The Last Story. Of course, The Last Story was linked to Xenoblade long before Operation Rainfall came around thanks to a number of factors. These include both games being announced at around the same time, both being major hardcore releases for a system that by that point in its lifetime was perceived by many as accommodating to such titles, both being RPGs, and even the fact that both were created by developers with former ties to the Final Fantasy series (in the case of The Last Story, no less than Hironobu Sakaguchi a.k.a. the original creator of Final Fantasy himself).
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
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
