The company has released 70 screenshots, a lot of artwork and a short description of how the battle system works.

Games sounds sweet

but those command lines sound gay as hell...

"Time to get physical!
Time to get mystical!
Tear them to shreds!"

lame

cahill6448d ago

no offense to xbox/ps3 owners but i think LR will bomb just like Infinite Undiscovery

leyego6448d ago (Edited 6448d ago )

not sure if it will bomb, but i agree with the graphics they kinda suck. is it just me or do the char models look polygonish?

solidt126448d ago

Time to announce the PS3 version release date.

bushfan6448d ago

sounds like bahamut lagoon....i guess..

badz1496448d ago (Edited 6448d ago )

bomb?! you do know that IU almost made 360 outsold the WII in JAPAN in its release week, right? how's that a bomb? I know that the reviews are not high but M$ intention of having all these exclusive JRPG is to make an impact in Japanese market (mind you, not western market) and they are somehow succeeded a little bit. they don't care about reviews from any non-japanese speaking sites, they just want to sell 360 in Japan and JRPG is among the few factors that help console sale over there! this is a clear point already with the release of LO, BD, ToV and IU. at this point, Last Remnant will pretty much do the same for them and thi time, we can expect 360 to outsell the Wii the week this one being released! mind you, this is a Square Enix game!

JRPG....

hmmm the characters and the clothing reminds me of IU.

cahill6448d ago

especially after seeing the reviews?
I hope LR does good though

kewlkat0076448d ago

JRPG's and Infinite Undiscovery is far from totally crappy like the reviews made it out to be.

I don't only play 90+ titles within my Genre, since there will be few in between. Unless it has final Fantasy in the name obviously.

I play 70+ in my Genre depending on the cash flow and some other factors. In other Genres I'm a little bit more strict.

Its just interesting.About a year ago,PS3 owners had believed that Star Ocean 4,Final Fantasy XIII,Final Fantasy Versus XIII,and White Knight Chronicles would be exclusive to PS3 by 2008.While the only RPGs the 360 were gonna have were The Last Remnant(multi),Infinite Undiscovery,and Cry On.Then just a few months into 2008,Star Ocean 4 is announced for 360 only,The Last Remnant is delayed for PS3 to 2009,Final Fantasy XIII is announced for 360 as well,Final Fantasy Versus XIII is pushed back to maybe 2010,and WKC is also pushed into 2009.

This console war is interesting and history repeats itself.

Like when Street Fighter 2 was announced for Sega Genesis even though it was exclusive to SNES.Or like when Final Fantasy VII was announced exclusively for PS1 instead of the N64 and when Resident Evil 4 was announced for PS2 a few days before launching on the Gamecube.

Are companies still having problems with the PS3 hardware? Maybe the PS3 version of The Last Remnant was lagging behind so Square Enix decided to call up Microsoft and offer them an exclusive deal so they could get the game out on time, make some extra cash, and release an enhanced PS3 version later on down the road. I know people think Microsoft threw a bunch of money at Square Enix for their support, but if that were the case, why isn't Final Fantasy 13 coming out in Japan for 360? That's where it would help them the most.

heyheyhey6448d ago

it's true Steven, it's a pretty unexpected turnout

but im sure Sony can turn things around still with Level-5

Square Enix really betrayed me a Playstation gamer- not because of the FF13 thing, i don't particularly mind that one, but we don't get to play two of their big games in 2008 while Xbox users do??? that sucks, now i know what it felt like to be a Nintendo fan in the 90's

still, the future looks bright- WKS, Valkyria Chronicles, Last Remnant next year

a little patience paid off in 2007 when Sony started to turn things around rapidly in 2008 and im sure a little patience now in terms of RPG's will pay off in 2009 and beyond

pwnsause6448d ago (Edited 6448d ago )

its not hardware, its Money. FF XIII is an example of money being thrown around.

While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.

Gaming4Life19812306d ago

Star Ocean 5 was garbage and I was a huge star ocean fan.

Docmortem2306d ago

Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.

solideagle2306d ago

I personally have not played any game below 80 and thought wow this should have been 80-90 game. The only game I thought should have been 90 was Shadow Hearts II: Covenant. I am pretty sure there will be some games but average score usually is pretty good indication.

do you recommend any JRPG which you think were good/amazing but it didn't score well? I just purchased Tokyo xanadu but it seems way too slow like trails game but trail at least has good story. I will give it a shot

rainslacker2306d ago

I think there were quite a few JRPG games that got hit with lower meta scores last gen when all these reviewers were on their anti-anime tropes kick. Not that they should get up there into the high 80s or 90s, but they weren't 60-70 games either.

That's mostly died off this gen, thankfully

WickedLester2306d ago

Ni No Kuni 2 is way better than it's metascore.

solideagle2306d ago

I think Ni No Kuni 2 combat is pretty generic but if you add all DLCs then its combat is pretty awesome. I purchased the complete edition so I can say DLC changes the combat completely

FinalAeonX2306d ago

Ni no Kuni 1 is way better than its metascore

Father__Merrin2306d ago

meta scores are rubbish best ignore them. many gems out there

solideagle2306d ago (Edited 2306d ago )

can you please name few?

Kocurstvo2305d ago (Edited 2305d ago )

Useless to argument troll, but e.g. Eat Lead is hilarious and extremely funny, yet mediocre on metastupids.... Lords of the Fallen, Strange brigade... I could name hundreds

It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
