I was already stoked for this game, but now Im even more hyped about it. I really hope it turns out to be an AAA rpg experience on the Wii.

Edit - Keep in mind that only concept art was released until this point, so It's nice to have some kind of idea of what the actual game will look like.

One single magazine scan?

That was a bit less than I had hoped from a first look. :P

As someone who was following this game since day 1 and recieved nothing but concept art, it's a big deal to me to finally see some game footage. :P

Will keep my eye on it. I haven't played a decent RPG in a while, maybe I'll give this one a shot.

One scan?

Not much to go by. Also, wasn't this originally Monado: Baginning of The World or something?

If there is any "freedom" in this game, I'm on it. I just hope it's not like a typical final fantasy story game.

That looks more like FFvsXIII than the concept art that was released earlier.

The Last Story is brought to us by Hironobu Sakaguchi and his team at Mistwalker, therefore you know its going to be better than that 'Final Fantasy' tripe we've (well, you people) have been playing for the last 10 years. These first screens are revolutionary for anyone whos been tracking this game since it was first announced back in like february or so i believe. For anyone searching for more information I would go track Mistwalker on twitter, you can usually find links to blogs that already have the english translations done. This is going to solidify the Wii as a home entertainment console, not just a gimmick. on a side note, when did people coin this 'jrpg' thing? When i was a kid all we had were rpgs.

the character at the bottom of the page looks really cool. makes me excited. :D i really wish with all the resources that a site like gamespot has they could get a copy of that magazine and translate it for us. I've had to gather all my info from foreign sites relying upon the google chrome translation tool. i actually just posted an editorial about this... im really glad that you've uploaded this pictures for us. at least someone cares!!

The Last (final) Story (fantasy) sounds like a generic wannabe? Is this an established franchise?

It looks too good to be true. This really makes me worried that the game will be one long cut scene instead of an actual game. If there are any western RPG influences, this is an absolute day one purchase for me.

From Wikipedia... Hironobu Sakaguchi (The creator of Final Fantasy) is involved in this game, so that's probably why the logo/name are close to FF's. :o

Looks absolutely fantastic. For some reason, I had imagined a more cell-shaded look, but this is great. Looking forward to hearing more about this in the future.

In a sense, that sense being that this game's creator is the same guy as the one who created Final Fantasy.

I feel the same way. I hope efforts like Last Story prove the Wii is more than a dumping ground for lazy opportunistic 3rd party developers. Also, thanks Haziq and laus_basic for the extra scans.

I respectufully disagree. I've never been a fan of games where the story interferes with the game play (at that point, I'd rather watch a movie). The main thing I look for in an RPG is the option to develop and customize my character the way I want, and take him or her out on adventures where he or she becomes more and more powerfull. It's fun looking back to see how powerful your character, which you created, has become. I'm fine with a story as long as I get to write some of it.

One hundred percent agree.

As for the screenshots, wow, do those look gorgeous.
