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.

  Still No Autosaves

Very good game one of the best Square Enix pieces that doesn't have Final Fantasy in the title. They still refuse to incorporate an auto save feature, which virtually every game now has.

Put simply the game has plenty of replay value, I had to buy a stratagy guide just so i could discover the many many side quests. It is something I have played on and off for quite some time and I am still enjoying. Oh, and the story is great, not too corny and not too bland.

  TLR, the most underrated RPG of this generation
Review created: 03/06/09
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Now if your looking to buy this game its because you are skeptical of the reviews it has been given. To sum it all up you were right to question the press;this game deserves a rating well above the press average. IGN specially, slammed this TLR because of the technical flaws of the unreal engine, claiming it had horrible frame rate issues as well as texture delay even going as far as saying square-enix was just unfamiliar with the engine. As i recall Mass Effect had horrible texture pop-in issues as well as significant load times, so does Gears of war. How come they received a 9.5 while the Last remnant was given a miserable 5.8?
The visuals in this game are beautiful and the screenshots really do not do the game justice. The character design is amazing and the towns are very creative. The dialogue although cheesy and cliche at times is very well performed but really, its a JRPG, name one that doesn't come with a rediculous phrase or two.
The Cast is very memorable and will have you caring for each throughout the lengthy story.
The gameplay is where this game really shines. Although it has your regular turn-based RPG characteristics it manages to stand out by adding some very fresh ideas along with great design choices. You take control to several "unions" which are made up of up to 5 different "units", or single characters, which gives a real epic feel to every battle. A very cool detail of this game is that instead of having motionless characters as you select you course of action, they are battling out( without actually doing any damage) which really gives it a cinematic feel.
My advice is to ignore the reviews and, at the very least, rent this game. IT really deserves way more credit that its been given. Personally i cant even fathom how TLR got anything less than an 8. The technical issues do not even hinder the experience one bit, it is still a massive beautiful game that any TRUE RPG fan should check out.

  The last and final remnant
Review created: 10/11/09
by:

I was looking for a game to hold me over until the next Final Fantasy series came out. The Last Remnant seemed like a good deal.... but the graphics look like plastic, the world is barren, the characters are un-sympathetic, the story is weak, and the battle system is under developed and very frustrating. In other words, TLR is not Final Fantasy. Disappointing that Square Enix developed it too. TLR has online rpg elements. It came off as a solid idea, but they just didn't back it up in gameplay.

  Pretty good game
Review created: 07/22/09

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.

  Want a new PlayStation 3?
Review created: 06/28/09

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5452229

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

great product even though it was used. This is not a game for the casual gamer. Before buying this game you should look up some guides for it online just to see what you are getting into. If you play the game the normal way you play most RPG's it will be very difficult but with a Low BR guide, you should do fine and enjoy this GREAT game.

  Not the best, but good enough.
Review created: 05/03/09

I like the fact that the game is an RPG. The downside about it is that the graphics aren't up to your usual standard. Gameplay is fun- there seems to be a lot to do. Storyline is OK. One concern is the battle system- which is confusing at first, but once you understand it, the game is so much easier. The maps for some places are HUGE.

So its a pretty good game- not the best, but still fun and entertaining.

Item did not match item description. I received two of the same discs. It was supposed to be part one and two of a video-game, called The Last Remnant. I received two Disc 1s. Very upset, but I literally JUST found this out. Haven't asked for a refund yet.

  Same old stuff with slight modifications.
Review created: 04/30/09

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.

I absolutely love Square Enix so I decided to buy this game.. For my boyfriend (Because he has the 360). I started playing and it was just like any Square Enix game... Which I loved. The box was kind of cracked, but whatever... The game was still as awesome as the seller said it would be.
