http://www.wonderdogsoftware.com/GUIDES/LASTREMNANT.htm Notwithstanding its rather shopworn preface, you shouldn't simply disregard Last Remnant as just another distinctive "save the world" JRPG because it was evidently designed to charm all audiences. Traditional Japanese character designs are conjoined with a more established Western gameplay style. Unfortunately, the gameplay is rather uneven. The game sometimes feels like an MMORPG as you head from one localization and level up your party, then return to town to elevate your stats and equipment. The game's Guild Tasks are more like achievements than actual quests while missions acquired in the game's various pubs break the flow of the game entirely. You also can't queue up missions-take on a quest and you have to finish it before you can go do something else. The Last Remnant's presentation is also a mixed bag; it's a beaut and pushes the Unreal Engine 3 to its limits; there are epic "Lord of the Rings" type battles with over 70 characters on screen at one time. But this produces a great deal of muddiness, as the character models blend together. It's rather chaotic and got confused trying to differentiate which characters belonged to me, and which ones belonged to the enemies. Your party's health and action points are also completely restored after each battle, which eliminates any sense of danger or importance that the story might thrust on you. There's also an interesting "party within a party" system called Unions-instead of issuing commands to individual members, you build Unions made up of diverse party members. Using the system, you can handle your army by producing new battle organizations and swapping out party members. Trying out alternate organization can be incredibly rewarding and it's important to constantly re-arrange your warriors in order to get the best battle results. It's really too bad that The Last Remnant is so uneven. For every one thing it does right, there is a glaring fault that ruins the fun. I'm willing to blame some of the problems I felt that since the fact that I was playing a review build of the game; hopefully, Square Enix will fix some of the more glaring results like slowdown and lag before the game hits store shelves. But even in spite of this, The Last Remnant is an mismatched effort that offers up a handful of concerning moments rather than a solid role performing feel from beginning to end, which, in light of the lineage of company that produced it, is truly a shame.
