Pikimal: Being a child of the early 90s, I grew up on classic JRPGS like the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series. With Final Fantasy’s quality slowly degrading with every new release (and re-release) and the newest Dragon Quest going the way of the MMO, it really seemed like the once proud genre was all but dead. Until recently that is. Earlier this year, Xenoblade was released to showers of praise. Now, it’s famed developer, and creator of the Final Fantasy series, Hironobo Sakaguchi’s turn with The Last Story. Created by Sakaguchi’s own company, Mistwalker Studios, The Last Story hopes to end the Wii’s life with a bang.
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
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
