The Last Remnant is going to be released very soon (56 days, to be exact) for the Xbox 360, and Square Enix has finally decided it's time for us to know how the game is actually played. The company has released 70 screenshots, a lot of artwork and a short description of how the battle system works.

Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!

Game Rant - "From Star Ocean to Final Fantasy, there have been a number of JRPG's that have been unfairly undervalued by their Metascores. Here are 10 examples."
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.
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.
In this episode, we explore The History of The Last Remnant. A game the recently received a remastered release and had an interesting development cycle.
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.
Games sounds sweet
but those command lines sound gay as hell...
"Time to get physical!
Time to get mystical!
Tear them to shreds!"
lame
JRPG....
hmmm the characters and the clothing reminds me of IU.
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.
.
Sounds like its going to flop on the xbox 360
