A little more than a year ago a grassroots effort known as "Operation Rainfall" was launched to convince Nintendo to localize to America three Japanese-only role-playing games. Developer Mistwalker's The Last Story was one of those titles; and while Nintendo did not end up bringing the JRPG to the States, third-party publisher Xseed did. With that decision, Xseed gave American Wii players one of the better RPG options ever released on the platform.
It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.
I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.
As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.
I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
