IGN Reviews - The Last Story - Video Review [Wii]

Mistwalker's latest is a gift to the Wii. The Last Story stars a group of mercenaries that get caught in something much bigger than their normal business for hire missions. With great localization and an innovative fighting mechanic, The Last Story did what most other games on the Wii couldn't: make a good first impression.

Release Date: Q3 2012
Exclusively on: Wii
Genre: RPG

The Last Story needs to be remastered in HD for the Switch.

[tamaskalem]

I would love for this thing to have an hd remastered version.

At the beginning: Holy shit! Is that Ganondorf?!

Just finished this game last night. It was totally worth my time and money. great music, interesting battle system and likeable characters. Ninendo was dumb  for not bringing it early to the west with a big marketing campaign.

This really needs an HD update for Switch.

"It could look better [...]" "[...] Sometimes you can hear the wii growning under the strain"

Uh huh, that makes perfect sense !

Oh wait...

[davidtorresohyeah]

A truly masterpiece that should be placed by anyone who enjoys any kind of fantasy adventure dressed with an excellent story, memorable characters, a superb soundtrack, an outstanding art direction and wonderful characters design. Thanks Nintendo for bringing such jewel to Europe and to the crew for reviving a genre that has been suffering so much in the current generation.

Please, all of you : Go Play this.
And if it's 60 bucks, it doesn't matter.
I played so many great Games but story-wise, this game is the best game I think I've ever played.
I wasn't prepared for all the emotional stuff going on and the depth of it all. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.

[allanmhanson]

This is the 1st JRPG i've ever played and the 1st RPG i play in a home console, AND I FUCKING LOVE It's all perfect, all!!!!
A 10 out of 10 hands down!!!
BUY

It seems like it'll be a great game, I'm not that thrilled with the combat mechanic where you run up and auto attack everyone but I'm sure it will expand once I've played more. The music and voice acting are outstanding and the story seems like it's going to be a classic.

That red haired dude looks an awful lot like Ganon...:p

[kawaiiamethist]

You can compare the turn-based system to strategy games. You don't win by having the best reflexes and timing, you win by preparing for battle and reading the situation. When you're up against a tough boss, or low on health and looking for the next save point, the battle system proves to be just as thrilling as real time.

[ProjectMartyr]

This is my favorite game now, or it at least qualifies. It didn't focus on this huge adventure that, when you think about it tends to just pad hours played. Instead it focused on the story and developing the characters. One of the best games ever.

The art book and special box aren't pre-order bonuses. All first edition releases will come with them. However, XSEED has said they are doing a limited print, so if you really want those items, your safest bet would be to pre-order. Also, if you haven't heard yet, the mini-soundtrack will be a pre-order bonus to those who pre-order from Gamestop, EB Games Canada, and Amazon. You should receive all the extras if you pre-order from one of the places mentioned above.

Playing it for the first time right now and i love it.

[ColdhardSilver]

Control: great
Ai: you can control their magic, moves, and targets but they do well on their own.
Tech issue: sometimes slows up when there is too much going on.
No motion control
Hope this helps ^-^

I WANT THIS TO BE PORTED TO THE NEW 3DS (along with Pandora Tower)

[tiedyechamp]

I must be slow because I'm only halfway through and I have collected about twenty hours of gameplay. Maybe it's because I take my time with everything.

[MrTrancedsailor]

I had no idea Nobuo was still making music! This makes me ridiculously excited, and I am officially sold on the Wii U. Yes I know this is a Wii game but it'll play on it :P
