The Last Remnant™

wildly underrated game. this suffered from being subject to the review of the final fantasy crowd. there is a lot to like here. i have probably close to 200 hours in it, i played it offline back in the day, and time logging was kind of buggy back then. i want to say i would love to see a proper remaster, but not by the people currently running and working at Square Enix. If you can find a key, and like things that color outside the lines and do not mind alittle jank, i highly recommend.

this review is mostly pointless because the game was delisted but i like to get my thoughts out so i'm going to post one anyway do not be fooled by the comparisons to final fantasy : this is a SaGa game in disguise. just weird layers of mechanics that are absolutely not explained to the player, like each character having a completely unique and unexplained stat, battle commands being somewhat random, no straight-forward leveling but instead having a weird "world level" and stats that eventually level. exp is, apparently, proportional to battle difficulty, which is measured in turns taken. mid combat qtes. party management that seems to be encouraged but also does not seem to matter. layer upon layer of weird ideas. also other weird knick knack like the area intro playing every time you re-enter an area. this is a mostly fixed version of the seemingly very broken xbox version (with bugs and insanely easy way to brick a run) and certain features like quick battles are welcome with how many units can end up on the battlefield. gameplay aside, the main character is not super likeable and the story is a bit whatever. still not a terrible time, but absolutely not the first rpg i would recommend to someone for sure.

Sad that people can't buy peak anymore.

great Game, One of my top 20 games on Steam, but will not run on windows 11. I had to play it on another computer that has windows 10. *****Update 5/23/26 So I got the game to work on Windows 11. I had to run the Last Remnant game under compatibility windows 7 and run as administer. so far it is working good. Great game. ******

Love this game

Great story, unique progression mechanics. Haven't seen the team system, or morale system used quite like how this game has used it. Despite how old it is would recommend to anyone that hasn't had the chance to play. Loveable characters, amazing map designs. To this day haven't played a game that does what this did.

In my quest to play all games in my library (and stop playing them when I'm fed up or straight dont like them) I stumble upon this one. I got it in a random budle sometime in the distant past. Look, I know it's a somewhat cult classic and has it's fans, but it's simply not for me. I'm not a huge JRPG fan in the first place, but this one... well... it's just too Japanese for me. All the quirkyness of it all just doesnt click with me. I'm not enjoying it and I'm sure as hell not spend 60 hours of my life in it. So, see my thumbs down with a ton of salt, it's just a statement the I didnt like what I played. In any case it's not even available to buy anyway, so this is all kinda irrelevant lol Plays great on the Deck though.
