Putting this back on the shelf. Sometimes I just can't get into this kind of RPG. It seems similar to Xenoblade on the surface with the auto combat and anime story, but I'd argue this one is much more linear with a lot less freedom of exploration.

Putting this back on the shelf. Sometimes I just can't get into this kind of RPG. It seems similar to Xenoblade on the surface with the auto combat and anime story, but I'd argue this one is much more linear with a lot less freedom of exploration. The visuals also leave much to be desired although I recognize that these were pretty good by Wii standards. I may come back to this some day when I'm in the right mood for it so I won't leave a review yet. I do think there's a good game here, just not one I want to play right now.

Found my old copy of this and started playing today. Question for anyone that's played it: how does it compare to Xenoblade Chronicles? That's the only thing I can think to compare it to with the British VAs and auto attack combat. Not sure if I should give it some time to hook me in or not.

Random thoughts on The Last Story for the Wii. I still haven’t finished the game yet, so maybe my thoughts will change.

  • Not really sure why this game was a Wii exclusive since it doesn’t really make use of any of the features that made the Wii unique. The fact that the entire game can be played on a classic controller proves it could have worked on any other console. There’s times where the game definitely could’ve used the help of a stronger platform because there’s pretty frequent frame drops and issues rendering environments on time.
  • I like doing side quests, but wish there was a way to track them from menus.
  • I like the option to have auto/manual battles. It made me think I’d probably like the Xenoblade games more if they had this option.
  • Combat starts off pretty slow and boring, but it gets interesting when more skills get unlocked.
  • Party members drop in and out of the lineup for story reasons, so there’s never really a feeling of building your party. Sometimes party members rejoin under leveled so you have to deal with that for a few battles too.

I unlocked the invisible dye, so now I am leading a band of half-naked mercenaries. My team includes two shirtless jeans models without nipples, and a skinny guy with an eyepatch running around in his underwear. Nothing amuses me more then seeing my eyepatch friend levitating naked in the middle of battle while casting fire magic.
