New art of The Last Story

Get a first look at character designs in Mistwalker's first Wii title, The Last Story.

[Valay]

This game, along with Xenoblade, look very promising. Hoping they turn out well since the Wii could always use some good RPGs.

[captain-obvious]

thats tooo mcuh for a wii

[qface64]

damn it i want some screens or a video Dx

[van-essa]

We'll probably get some at E3.

[-MD-]

This game makes me want a wii so bad... I'll keep holding out for an HD wii though.

[labwarrior]

Which is obvious with Wii hardware

[van-essa]

It's not all about graphics. Especially when it comes to RPGs a compelling story and good gameplay are very important.

[gtg-bbq]

Graphics whore, gtfo.

[Meryl]

lol FF XIII had supreme visuals but it's story was totally average, if this is the way RPG's are headed I will take story over graphics any day

[The 10th Rider]

Not to mention how good SMG2, Metroid other M, Monster Hunter 3, Red Steel 2, and all those other games look. The Wii doesn't really have horrible graphics, it's just the reputation from all the shovel-ware.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Looking awesome, make it more like FFIX Gooch!

I'm still intrigued as to what device it will be using, I'm still thinking vitality sensor which could mean some funky mechanics.

[Smacktard]

Goddamn, that's awesome! Reminds me of when JRPGs were good, and had awesome medieval-looking characters, and not pansy girly-boys wearing lace and ribbons.

[Smacktard]

Hmm... apparently some people like flamboyant, emotional, teen-aged girly-boy protagonists...

[labwarrior]

And with low polygon charatcers, terrible low resolution and a huge limitation in ram of Wii a game that could be a masterpiece will only be a mediocrity today

Hope there is a PS3 or 360 version later

[Smacktard]

Great point. That`s why every RPG created before 2005 is terrible, right?

[SpoonyRedMage]

Explain why the HD RPGs suck balls in comparion to PSP and especially DS RPGs then?

[SuperStrokey1123]

But they dont suck, Lost odyssey and several other RPG's have been fantastic. Not all are great for sure but thats true of any generation.

[SpoonyRedMage]

I'm being hyperbolic, the HD JRPGs just don't compare to what is being offered on the handhelds though even though I think the Mistwalker RPGs are great.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Fair enough, personally i agree as well. If you only include the SNES remakes (Chronon Trigger ftw!) and what not the ds and psp have done rather well.

[Lightel0s]

pretty impressive art direction for the last story, seems Mystwalker gonna deliver the definitive wii RPG soon!

i dont want to see a bunch of main chars being teenagers trying to save the world.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Im waiting on this one, very interested.

[EvilTwin]

If either this or Xenoblade launches late in the year to complement Zelda...my wallet is really gonna be hurting.

[CherryLu-Chan]

I adored Lost Odyssey and i'm curious as heck as to what The Last Story is going to do.

Alright Spoony, nice to see you chap! ^-^

[eagle21]

The fact that Nintendo is publishing the game let's me know it must be pretty special. :)

[ZoidsRaven]

The Last Story, XenoBlade, Tales Of Graces and Arc Rise Fantasia are looking good so far. I just hope they don't make the release date too close to eachother. 7_7

[ChickeyCantor]

Screw this im not going to this website again, their image viewer is annoying as hell.

[tunaks1]

awesome, can't wait to see the game in action,
xenoblade already looks stunning.

[The 10th Rider]

Of course, we have to remember that it unfortunately may never see the light of outside of Japan.
