"Here's a new gameplay video of The Last Remnant for Xbox 360 taken during Micromania Games Show 2008 in Paris. The game is due for release on November 20."
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Game Rant - "From Star Ocean to Final Fantasy, there have been a number of JRPG's that have been unfairly undervalued by their Metascores. Here are 10 examples."
While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.
Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.
In this episode, we explore The History of The Last Remnant. A game the recently received a remastered release and had an interesting development cycle.
It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
Graphically, looks better than any other JRPG previewed so far. This looks to be by far the most promising JRPG yet.
Some Framerate problems but that can be easily fixed.
This vid tho is nothing compared to the actual live demo that I've seen (which didn't have the framerate probs)
I'm ready to get my hands on another JRPG beat Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and now this will just add on to my list November 17th!
