The Story Unfolds 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 caused a rift in the world’s balance. A thousands years later, the story of The Last Remnant begins. Rush Sykes and his sister Irina are children of scientists researching the esoteric Remnants.

One day, Irina is kidnapped right before Rush’s eyes. Determined to rescue his sister, Rush joins forces with David Nassau, the marquis of a small city-state called Athlum. Together they are determined to pursue the criminals and save Irina from her strange captors. Meanwhile, the world is thrust into confusion as ruling powers bicker over dividing the Remnants’ powers. Soon a mysterious man appears calling himself the Conqueror. His presences escalates tensions as everyone eagerly attempts to answer the question: Into whose hands will the power of the Remnants fall? Before he knows it, Rush becomes wrapped up in this international power struggle and realizes that he is somehow connected to the enigmatic Conqueror.

Allies and Enemies Before her kidnapping, Rush Sykes lived a peaceful life with his 14-year-old sister, Irina Sykes. Irina is a cheerful, resilient girl who stays upbeat even during the toughest of times. Some mysterious power seems to rest within here, but she herself has no understanding of what it is or what it can do. David Nassau, the 19-year-old who rules over the state of Athlum, spends his days working towards better his homeland. Although he decides to join Rush on his quest to rescue Irina, his motives are his own. Emma Honeywell, the matriarch of the Honeywells clan, Plagus, Blocter, and Torgal round out the allies.

The man known only as the Conqueror and his minions are eager to seize the Remnants throughout the lands. His origin is shrouded in mystery, but it appears that something strange and elusive connects this villain to Rush. Enamored with the Conqueror, Roeas has declared her eternal allegiance to him and acts as the ambassador of the Conqueror’s Army. Although beautiful in form and voice, Roeas is sadistic and menacing on the battlefield. Originating from a large-bodied species with pronounced fighting abilities, Castanea is Roeas right-hand-man. He rarely speaks or expresses himself, so it is difficult to decipher his thoughts — although Roeas seems to understand him easily.

In addition, the strongest fighters in the Conqueror’s army are referred to as The Seven. The Seven lead their own troops and report to Roeas and Castanea. Combat Systems: Morale, Battle Unions, and Deadlock Battles are fought between multiple friendly and enemy unions — groups of up to five characters who fight together. Players give commands to unions as a whole, who then carry out the actions.

Orders in battle are given in a command-select style that is familiar to most role playing gamers. However, The Last Remnant commands are not delivered with standard terms, such as “Item” or “Magic.” Instead, players control unions with specialized commands, such as “Slam ‘em with status ailments!” or “Do area attacks from afar!” Available commands change depending on the current battle situation or the distance and positions of friendly and hostile unions. The Last Remnant adds a Morale component to the gameplay.

Players can check current morale via the gauge across the top of the screen. The higher the morale, the more damage is dealt and less damage is taken by friendly unions, and vice-versa. When friendly and enemy unions go toe-to-toe and engage in melee combat, they enter a state called Deadlock. Once in Deadlock, the two unions must fight each other until one union has been completely destroyed. Enemy monsters roam the land where they can be avoided or engaged at will. When battle is initiated, the scene changes to a specialized battle map where friend and foe can fight it out.

Horizontal lined icons labeled A, B, C, etc. represent the on-field battle unions. Players choose which hostile union they wish to attack on this screen. The Last Remnant offers a wide variety of commands that focus on dealing damage or executing defensive maneuvers. Knowing which commands are most suitable for each situation is the key to winning battles. The Last Remnant delivers breathtaking visuals, a mysterious storyline full of powerful artifacts, and a massive battlefield.

Ive been tryin to get into this The Last Remnant game it just bores me really bad…square enix final fantasy x to this day is the best game i have ever played the battle system is in unit attacks so u watch 3 people do the same act when u want each player to have there on part im going try to sell this game or something but if you want a good rpg for xbox 360 try mass effect you make your own story or lost odyssey its made by the final fantasy creators really good game also fallout 3

Rating: - rpg
it seen this The Last Remnant game has a potencial of rpg formula
not as the first installment infinity discovery
the game is a kind different from regular rpg games
but with a bit of pay atention and get used to it
to the new formula strategies commands can be a entertanied game

the command attack for player are by choicing the right attack so
a good option pick decide you win or lost. not manual control of caractres
at battles. only by teams atack called unions.

a very good game not as good as FFXII ,but the waste of time looking around for places or stores are gone in this game . since with a single botton on the map you can go right away to the next target place or place of choice. very easy to navigate. I like it and this will keep me entertanied until FFXIII come up next year. I recomended for those good rpg player .

Rating: - Faults aside, a solid 8/10
Okay… first of all, I read reviews before purchasing this The Last Remnant game. BUT, I’m a huge RPG buff, so the positive I had read/seen about it outweighed the negative.

I’ve only had the The Last Remnant game for about a week and a half, but I’ve played it quite a bit. YES, it does have some technical issues. It graphically lags a bit when super fancy-schmancy effects are processed. So they used the Unreal engine and hadn’t perfected said use… big deal. AS LONG AS YOU INSTALL IT ONTO YOUR HARD DRIVE, none of the load screens or technical issues really become that big of a deal.

All that aside, the voice acting is pretty freakin awesome if you ask me. The rest of it plays much like any of the more recent Final Fantasy series, but it feels a little different. Most notable are the combat system (A combination of old-school turn-based and a tactics-type system, with a hint of nutmeg), the item customization system (It’s pretty ridiculous… in a good way), and the treasure digging system! Heck yes, it’s almost like a little mini-game-type nugget that you pick up early on and take with you throughout areas that you explore.

The only problem I’ve had so far was that my party seemed SO INCREDIBLY WEAK early on (once you reach a point at which Rush ventures off on his own for a bit). It was taking me forever to fight anything or get through areas, and I had to take enemies on in as few numbers as possible. It was later that I realized how to put additional party members into a union. It’s MUCH better after that, haha. But that’s what I get for not reading the manual.

Honestly, so far, My only complaint (other than that, ideally, there shouldn’t be any problems, really, with graphical lag) is that in the morale system, you get a severe detriment to morale if an enemy engages you before you can initiate combat yourself, BUT, there’s ABSOLUTELY no way for you to gain any advantage on an enemy. It’s either starting at 50/50, or 75-25 in the enemy’s favor. Unless, of course, I just haven’t gotten that far yet… But, even so, it should be accessible already. It’s fairly difficult to sneak up on an enemy…

If ya like RPGs, and you especially like them with an extra dose of strategy, then go ahead and snag this one ^_^

Rating: - Bad gameplay

Rating: - JRPG
