About this product
Product Information
- The Last Remnant is an original RPG by Square-Enix with large-scale, turn-based battles and an open-world feel for exploration and discovery. Squads, known as unions, are composed of up to five characters each. In battle, players give orders to unions, not to individual units, and each union has a single pool of hit points. This places focus of combat on creating and developing the most efficient, self-reliant unions possible, in the time between fights. Different situations call for different specialties, but nearly any union is well served by a mix of tough-tanking characters, advantage-shifting support characters, and life-preserving healers. Although players do not control their characters directly in battle, they can respond to onscreen cues with well-timed button presses to increase the power of their characters' attacks, giving combat a layer of real-time immediacy.
The Last Remnant is set in an original world of fantasy and science-fiction where humans, a race of Lizard people, and other beast-like humanoids live, both in peace and in war. Players take the role of Rush Sykes, a brooding young man drawn into the impersonal conflicts of the land by a personal, family obligation. Unlike in many RPG over-world maps, there are no random, wandering monsters. There is no shortage of fearsome creatures and other enemies to fight and profit from, however, when Rush and his crew are ready to seek them out. Ultimately, the world is in turmoil over battle for control of Remnants: huge, ancient objects of unrivaled power. Keeping things square, it will take an epic adventure by a great-but-reluctant hero to understand the truth behind that power.

Hurried much?
The last remnant is one of those game that really tries to be great and falls just short of its mark. While the idea behind the game is great some flaws take away a little too much from the game to where it feels like they rushed this game out. Here are some good points and bad points that I've noticed while playing. Story? It's thin, very very thin. I'm hoping it'll get better since I haven't yet finished the game but insofar you get tidbits and lots of loose ends that just hang out there. Information is obtained out of thin air and the plot moves sluggishly. The character voice overs are done well but the dialogue is stretched almost to breaking point with awkward silences between sentences like "OK". Graphics Beautiful. The artwork in this game is stunning and full. Unfortunately the engine can't keep up and so after loads or area transitions details take up to 5 seconds to fill in which gives the feeling of being a little buggy. Character artwork is also beautiful and well drawn. Mechanics Characters mouths move when dialogue is being written on the screen, not too big a deal but it is noticeable. Beyond that the mechanics work well. I've had no trouble becoming accustomed to the buttons and the battle system is very easy to get the hang of. Already it feels like second nature. Battle system Besides slow transitions between attacks which can be attributed to the same engine flaw that hurts the graphics the battle system is indeed unique and adds a lot to the game. You have teams of units that you can put together yourself and attack different groups of enemies at once making you feel like a general on a battlefield. The critical strike timers jump on you out of the blue but once you learn to notice them are very lenient. Union status during battle is confusing at first but due to the constant tips during loading screens they are memorized easily. Other Highlights The ability to save anywhere is a huge plus, your entire team fully recovers after each battle so my recommendation would be to save after every battle in case you're overwhelmed accidentally. Overall the Last Remnant feels good during battles but it feels like that's what the game was made for. Besides the battle system the other components feel thrown together so that the game could be released. I'll definitely finish the game but in terms of repeatability... well with two discs of material I don't think I could take the story more than once.Read full review

Epic RPG for the XBOX 360
"Epic Battles = Epic Game!" The Last Remnant is the latest RPG from Square Enix. It's hook was the ability to have huge battles between two opposing armies. And they did that right. The battles can get BIG. 15 party members vs. 20-something monsters? No problem. That's within the first few hours, and it only gets bigger from there. Story:The Last Remnant's story is a bit cliche, but it gets the job done. Brother and sister Rush and Irina Sykes get a letter (actually, a hologram) from their Mom and Dad telling them to come live in the town of Elysion. Mom and Dad (who work at the Academy) have been researching Remnants for a while now, and haven't had time to come home. Just as the letter ends, Rush and Irina are attacked, and Irina is kidnapped! Rush is bound and determined to find her, no matter what the cost! ...Yeah, like I said. Cliche, BUT there are a few twists along the way, making it enjoyable. Gameplay: This is where I was hooked. Don't let the instruction manual scare you, gameplay is easy to understand. Characters are placed in groups called Unions, and each union combines it's HP, AP, strength, defense, and all stats into one. Just think of a union as one character. So, you set up your unions into formations (battle stances that give certain bonuses), and go fight some monsters. Battles look complicated, but it's not. The first screen shows you your union status, enemy unions, and commands. The commands are general orders, such as "Attack using Combat Arts! (special moves)," or "Keep your HP up!" that require AP (Action Points) to use. Depending on which order you give your union, the characters will act accordingly. For example, tell a Union to Attack using Combat Arts, and some characters will use a special moves, while others will attack normally. Don't worry, though, the AI isn't stupid. If you tell them to heal themselves, they will (so long as you have the items if you use Item Arts). But wait, I'm not done yet! You can gain the advantage of every battle using strategy. If an ally union attacks an enemy union, they're engaged in a Deadlock - that is, they must fight to the death. While a Deadlock can be broken, it is NOT recommended. Anyway, if union A and B are in a Deadlock, and union C joins in to attack A, then a "Flank Attack" occurs, and union C does extra damage. This sounds complicated, but an hour of gameplay and you'll have it down! And now, critical triggers. At random times throughout the battle, whether you're attacking or dodging/blocking, the action will slow down and a button will appear on screen. Press the button as soon as it lights up, and you'll do extra damage or counterattack (depending on the situation). If you can't get the timing down, don't worry - you can set it to auto to make it easier. Be careful, though: This game is hard. Not impossibly hard, but make sure you take your time. Else, you'll be seeing that "Game over" screen a lot. Take all of that and put it into every battle and you have one very exciting (and epic) game! Sound: The sound is very good. Getting hit by a sword SOUNDS like getting hit by a sword. And if an attack is supposed to hurt, it sounds like it'll hurt! The sound is very well done. As for the music, WONDERFUL. The music pumps you up for battles, and fits the mood of the moment. I can't wait to start a battle, just so I can hear that awesome music! And the longer a battle goes, the more the music pumps up! The voice acting is...okay. It's not stellar, butRead full review

The Last Remnant
This is a pretty good game. I wouldn't say excellent, but pretty good. grinding may get tedious, and leveling up is a bit different than your average RPG. I would say it's more like leveling up skills and what not. There are also battle ranking to level up, which I think is more of the leveling up portion as oppose to the skills, hp, and etc. If I were to describe it, its more like hmm... say Dynasty Warrior meets Final Fantasy 13??? Man, I suck at describing, lets just say they are trying to do a lot in this game, hence the lag it gets lol. I say its pretty laggy and sometimes attacks can be random. It's always best to try and play this game to get a feel for it. I really don't think its popular amongst people that are into final fantasy type games and i guess its pretty strategy type playing where you have to know what you are getting yourself into. If you ever played online games like Atlantica, I think it's more or so like that game than anything else but action wise, randomed attacking as a whole. Basically, you gotta play it to understand what I mean, it isn't as complicating as I am making it seem. I like it, and it was a new feel than your regular rpg in my opinion. That's all.Read full review

This game is either hate it or love it. Game progression is very B-lined.
The Last Remnant is a game created in resemblance of final fantasy with the exception that it has an option to have multiple squads with which to strategize and coordinate your attacks with. The whole combat engine is a little weird however. For example: If you start out behind an enemy when you attack it you do not get a bonus to attack damage because your flanking that enemy from behind. What you get instead is both combat groups become deadlocked. There are some other small things that seem off while in combat but to list them would be unnecessary. This game in all is fairly ok though. You can do some really interesting things if you have the patience to make it through the game to those points in the story. If you have nothing else to do I would recommend getting this just so you have a quick time killer.Read full review

A RPG like the old ones
A RPG not made for gamers but the audience who really play videogames, by adding new gameplay mechanics to push forward the genre, the 'definitve' version of The Last Remnant is actually for computers since it fixes and add some features; like further management of units, balance some stuff here and there enough for an improvement of the game experience further than the gamesystem´s versions (PS3/360). Xbox360 version's only real downside is some frame droping due loading most of the time and somewhat slow texture loading. David best boi.

Same old stuff with slight modifications.
Just another standard square enix game. I keep hoping they'll put out something great, but everything is just another final fantasy clone with minor tweaks. I know there are a lot of hard core square fans who'll play anything they put out, and if you are, you'll love this game. As for me, I grew tired of that formula somewhere between FF8 and 9. I figured the strategy elements would make this game fun, but with the exception of the big, big battles (which are cool), it plays just like any other RPG. Its basically just suikoden without the 108 stars.

Pretty good game
I love the game except I notice that the graphics are...well kind of...just generally not as excpetionally good, but the gameplay really is exceptional. The textures do take a few seconds to load ive noticed, but it doesn't really effect the gameplay. If you can get past these minor graphical problems I would certainly suggest buying it.

Excellent
The game is in immaculate condition being factory sealed with the pre-order bones still in the wrap as well. Perfect to add to my growing collection.

The Last Remnant
while this game is no FINAL FAANTASY, it does keep you busy till you can play the real deal.the combat is rich and engaging.i can ensure you that you will NOT sit idly as the battles play out.the story is sorta sappy with no outrageous outcomes but hard to follow .overall, i recommend this game.this game does not deserve the low scoers that it garnered; easily a rank 8 or 8.5

Looks like a potentially engrossing, visually stimulating game - good value
I'm a big fan of Japanese games for the X-box. I've just started this one but it has the amazing graphics of Final Fantasy, an enormous travel map, serious complexity in the battle menus and a great range of collectibles. I sense some serious battling will emerge since some of the Achievements for battling certain bosses are 200-300 points! For the price, I'm pretty sure this will be another excellent value fantasy game.
