Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: What is SquareEnix doing? Comment: I'm a huge fan of final fantasy and chrono trigger series. What the heck is up w/ latest SquareEnix games? First, before every battle you'll have to wait 5 seconds and occational slow down during the battle. There's no traveling to a city. You just get a global map and point and you're there. I don't know if it's just me, but I enjoy free traveling. Second, to me the graphic looks worst than final fantasy 12. Granted, this game is not Final Fantasy but it's from the same company! Why did they use unreal engine? I won't comment on battle system as I'm only 2 hrs in the game. Also, I won't comment on the story as well but so far it feels rushed and very boring. I will comment on the graphics though.. some may enjoy Westernize RPG looks but I'm more into Japanize RPG looks. I don't want the character to look like a real human, I want a character w/ spiky hair w/ huge eyes (Cloud on FF7). Not sure why SquareEnix wants to merge Westernize looks when they clearly have a successful formula w/ final fantasy. Again.. why would square use unreal engine??? they have been known to make epic story w/ gorgeous graphics! heck~ they even made movies! now why would they use other people's engine? anyways.. enough of my rant.... I will play until the end of FIRST disk and decide if it's worth my time. So far... it's been a HUGE disappointment! I'm afraid SquareEnix is losing their originality as they are now using other company's graphic code.. so sad... come back to the light Square!!! come back! Customer Rating: Summary: A remake of a classic genre Comment: I saw preview screens of this game a while back but had forgotten the name of it. Recently, it's popped back up on the radar due to the upcoming release date. Did a lil research, and low and behold, The Last Remnant. If you're a fan of turn based RPG's with impressive graphics, this game it for you. If you were a fan of the old Shining Force games for the Genesis, this game is for you. All in all, it's not a bad game even though I am still in the very, very early stages of playing. The game does have some glitches. The animation for the cutscenes completes and there is a noticable pause before the voice acting kicks in. Nothing super serious, very easy to look past, but it's noticable. I look forward to completing this one. There aren't alot of games I have time to sit all the way through and complete, but this stands to be one of them for sure. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: In ancient times, mysterious artifacts referred to as Remnants were discovered all over the world. People used these objects for their awesome powers ? a choice that eventually began to cause a rift in the world's balance. Equality was replaced by those who ruled and those who were ruled over. War was inevitable. A thousand years later is when this story begins...Rush lives with his sister Irina on secluded Eulam Island, far from the power struggles for Remnants that are occurring back on the mainland. However, this peaceful life is shattered when his sister is suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious group of soldiers right before his eyes. He immediately sets off after them, unaware of the evils of the outside world but determined to find his sister at any cost.
