The Last Remnant (PC Digital Download) $3 (expired)

front page! *ROAR*

Love this game. It Activates on Steam as well.

great game! the first hour or so isn't very good. after that, it gets MUCH better. the story is nothing special, but the combat is really cool.

maybe i'll finish it one of these days....

i have this game and it has to be one of the most difficult ridiculous games ive ever played.

This is from The Last Remnant Walkthrough creator Jaffer Master:

Quote : The Last Remnant's battle system is a convolutedly complex and at times it can be quite frustrating, to say the least. I cannot really go through all of the mechanics, as that in itself could be a guide (and probably is), so I will cover some basics.

and later:

Quote : In battle, you will not have absolute control. This is where that convoluted complexity comes into play. There will be battles you lose simply because your luck was simply poor. In light of this, I must make a serious suggestion for you to get the PC version and forego the XBox360 version, as the PC version has an auto-save function which is an absolute life saver. It may be you accidentally encountered a rare enemy that's too powerful for you, you tried to do a quest too early, or, well, you got unlucky.

Now- from my experience- it's frustrating when your parties do some pretty asinine things and get themselves trapped. On the flipside- challenge is welcomed because a lot of RPGs turn into holding the (A) button contests. But just be forwarned- this battle system may drive you crazy. It kinda did for me...

Apparently I own it already. Probably some crazy steam sale.

Reps and thumbs anyhow!

Awesome game!

I bought this game in 2007, and was forced to upgrade the graphics card in my Inspiron 531c. Thus began my eventual hobby transition into PC building and troubleshooting. Since then, I still play the game that somehow accumulated 90+ hours, still don't understand the equipment system (characters randomly ask you for components until they magically construct a super weapon), the FFVIII 'gunblade trigger' for all characters is too fast, but overall, its fun. The tough plot battles do require some luck, but it is very much a strategy battle system.

At this point in the game, I've been lost for the better part of gameplay hours 70-90, so my team is almost maxed on EXP. Still fun to play though.

This and Infinite Undiscovery came out around the same time. They were good games, but as reviewers like to say "Not Final Fantasy", which is why I bought them. This is a good game, though the battle system is a bit complex and getting enough funds to equip your army properly is nigh impossible.

Fantastic game! I really enjoyed it.

Fair warning, this game is very pretty, but NOT well optimized for the PC. I'm running an i5 with a GTX 480, and it sounded like a helicopter trying to take off whenever this game was running. Make sure you've got a beefy rig, or you'll be turning settings down.

That said, if you like Final Fantasy, this might as well be one (though Square-Enix insists it's not) with a squad-based twist on combat. You don't have complete control over what each character does, but once you get the swing of things, you know which command to use in any given situation. You'll also get the hang of balancing your squads so they can self-sustain a bit better. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this game, but I also wouldn't hesitate at $3.

Jumped on it. I mean for $3, you cant really complain! Even if I do get bored after a few days....

I beat it a few years ago and loved it. I anxiously await the next non-FF SquareEnix release. Cool game.

SO i first played this game on PC and thought it was laggy as hell so I stopped playing, then I accidentally bought it for xbox and thought the same thing and stopped playing it. Maybe its just the first hour or so of the game, but there should have been no reason for it to lag on either PC or Xbox. When I say lag I mean when there were fight scenes you could actual see the pauses as the camera spun around at the start of the fight and also during the fight how everyone seem to pause after every few seconds even while attacking.
