It has everything that makes a good game, the combat system is interesting, complicated and easy to use at once, it becomes very entertaining and the story will involve you like it or not. Not perfect, and can be very linear, but never really feel that linearity and that's part of the genius of this game. It is rare to find a JRPG as "alive" and if you take into account the excellent music, you have a package that should be destined for success. It is sad that he was not given the attention it deserves in Europe and I sincerely hope that the day will come to America do very well in sales. Such games have to come more often to Europe.
In short, The Last Story is a game that you must possess, you will not regret it, I guarantee it."
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.
I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
