Description
The Last Story blends beautiful visual design with an innovative real-time battle system and captivating tales of camaraderie. Players will explore secret-filled locations scattered across Lazulis Island, the heart of a human empire and scene of an unfolding drama that will bring hostilities between two ancient races to a head. Among the band of mercenaries under your control is Zael, a warrior imbued with rare powers and intrigued by the notion of one day becoming an honourable knight. But as Zael and his mercenary friends reach the island’s capital city and find themselves drawn into official affairs, they discover that honour is one quality that can never be taken for granted.
Central to gameplay in The Last Story is a combat system that calls on players to take the lead in employing tactical teamwork. By using the special "Gathering" ability, the character under your control will become the focal point for enemy aggression, freeing team-mates up to perform specific tasks or attacks and recover their health. Balancing out your use of Gathering is key, as constantly taking the hits for your team is not an option!
The Last Story draws you deeper into the drama of each battle by seamlessly blending cinematic cut-scenes with the combat, and also keeps things flowing by having characters discuss key plot points during normal gameplay – advancing the story without breaking from the action. The option of using either an automatic or manual attack system means players of all skill levels can alter the level of challenge to suit their abilities. And once you feel confident that you’ve mastered the finer points of fighting, there’s a whole other arena in which to test your skills, with The Last Story offering cooperative and competitive online battles for 2-6 players.
Exclusively for Wii, The Last Story draws you into a world of beauty and breathless action, inviting you to become part of a band of friends at the centre of an unforgettable adventure.

Features:
- During The Last Story you take control of Zael and from time to time his partners, a band of mercenaries in search of their fortune. You undertake a series of missions and explore Lazulis Island and its sprawling medieval capital Lazulis City, while trying to help Zael achieve his ultimate goal of leaving his life as a mercenary behind and becoming a true knight.
- The Last Story features a high level of customisation for both items and characters appearance. There are two main ways of customising your party's equipment including visiting blacksmiths to increase their abilities and using dyes to change their colour. By visiting the various blacksmiths who are situated within Lazulis City and within some dungeons you can upgrade your weapons and armour.
- Unlike many other RPGs, The Last Story not only features a thrilling single player campaign with an engaging story, but also Online Multiplayer options including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Co-Op modes. Now you can battle against or alongside up to five other RPG fans from across Europe using your own customised character from the Single Player game.
- Master the innovative combat system, customise your character and gather items you discover throughout the game, and by utilising new features in The Last Story you will be able to take on the many enemies and bosses that can be found across Lazulis Island. Combat mixes traditional melee, ranged and magic attacks that are often found in RPGs with an innovative cover system and unique magical abilities. You will have to master a mysterious ability called The Gathering to help Zael and his band of mercenaries complete their missions and battle vast bosses by discovering their weak spots, picking a suitable strategy and using team work to bring them down.

Hopefully Not The Last!
The Last Story is one of the wii's most under-rated gems, a fantastic JRPG which excels in story-telling, audio work, and gampelay terms. For those unaware of its pedigree it was developed at Mistwalker studios under the oversight of director Hiornobu Sakaguchi, the founding father of Final Fantasy. As such, it hasn't delved too far from what he is familiar with, and the game is very reminiscent of PSX era Final Fntasy titles. The story follows a band of mercenaries who become embroilled in a political war and while the main characters present are typical stereotypes, their voice acting helps them rise above their characterisation, and you genuinely care about them. In particular, some of the jovial banter during battle really brings the game to life. The battle system is in real time and features cover mechanics as well as stealth attributes. There is a certain amount of strategy present and it is quite original and defnitely worth experiencing, although arguably it is a little too easy. he graphics are nothing particularly special but this is more down to the processing power the Wii is capable of, as the general art direction is very good. In summary I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of typical JRPGs and who want to see how the old days could have turned out if the genre hadn't all but disappeared.

The Last Story
The Last Story is definitely one of the most beautiful games available on the Nintendo Wii. The characters are cool, well, most of them... but the music is really something. I think it may be one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard on a game. I highly recommend it.

The Last Story
After the success of the awesome game, Xenoblade, another great Japanese RPG has been released for the Wii, entitled The Last Story. This is a much more story-driven experience with a very good direction, which gives us a good sense of liberty, while keeping the very good rhythm chosen by the developers. This results in a very classic, but yet engaging story, which always make us wonder "what will happen next?", with players ending up in the usual "I'll just play 10 minutes more" way to play, which characterizes good games. The characters are as classic as the story, as they're quite interesting and very well represented. One element is found especially funny was their chatting and conversation during the missions and the night at the tavern. This makes all the characters feel very connected. On the battlefield, we have quite a deep real-time combat system, which requires a bit of tactical play, to overcome the many challenges the group come across during the game, and between missions, players have the chance to visit the city of Lazulis to find merchants, artisans, the arena, and many other places and little hidden secrets. All of the video sequences in the game are done with very high-quality graphics, but the smoothness of the whole game has a few flaws here and there. It's nothing to really complain about though. Overall, The Last Story is a very good title. It's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely worth playing if you have a Nintendo Wii, especially fans of Japanese RPG games.

The Last Story
The Last Story is a great RPG game, with a unique battle system and great graphics, but the only thing that I didn't like was many, many cut-scenes. I'm not really a Final Fantasy fan, down to the fact their games have hundreds of cut-scenes. To those that they like watching these videos on the other hand, I believe that this is your game. It is highly recommended. GameCube had only Baten Kaitos as a mature RPG, but the Wii has stepped up it's game, have the choice of Xenoblade and The Last Story. It deserves to be in your collection.

Last Order: Not quite like anything you've ever seen before.
I'll make this short. The game is fraught with problems, bad frame-rate, hideous camera, and the optimization is so bad I almost sent my Wii to the repair shop before I realized I didn't have any problems with my other games. However, the game is nothing like I've ever played before. It's a hybrid between several genres: Action RPG, FPS, and the classic JRPG style. The battle controls are very simple, you only need to use three buttons, with barely any menus to sort through, but there is still lots of different attacks cleverly mapped to the few buttons, and a fair amount of strategy is needed to finish the more difficult battles. The music is fine, the characters aren't very interesting but at least avoid getting annoying, and there's a pretty fun Co-Op mode included, something you rarely see in a JRPG, to say the least! It's very unique and involving, despite its problems, and if you're looking for a new Wii JRPG after playing Xenoblade you can't go wrong with this one.

Last Story Wii
Wonderful RPG for the Wii. I really like the fighting style. This game gives you more control of the battles than other RPGs I have played such as Xenoblade Chronicles. Zavvi got me the game fast and shipping was very cheap considering I live in the states. Overall great game and great service by Zavvi.
