LAST STORY: NEW Amazing Concept Images and New Details

Thanx to Vessel of Light from IGN forums

As stated by the Director of the game:

''Ruli Island is located in the entrance of the only open bay of the continent surrounded by the mountains. The place is gathered by wealth and power because of the linchpin of traffic and defense of the empire behind it. A huge battery is enshrined, skilled knights and reckless mercenary soldiers prepare for the enemy's invasion. At the wealthy town of Ruli's, the enquettish(?) voice is like intoxicated from the (???) party wraps around everything, despite the ground of entire empire being covered by corruption, while the neighboring castle is filled by a weird ghostly air with an eerie magical power. Tonight as well, an evil spirit is lurking nearby, like it may be attracted to Ruli's strange power.''

''The feeling which searches the wind and the place which can pull out the noise and sort of the people truly. It is not description real, when such really walking, it is vivid, you thought that we would like to make feel. In that, you trained also unique play. The reaction of the pedestrian changes and/or (that it is delicate operation and/or does), to be something which it whirls to the wind, desperate escape… Before making "the town", it visited small town of France and Italy. It is for collecting materials. Of course because [huantaji] it is the overhead world, it is not necessary to adjust to actuality. But, by the fact that the construction design which was made in order to support living in long history is taken in, it is possible to construct the world where it has persuasive power. Listening of breathing the town which it exceeds… there is base of venture.'' (Director)

''Usually, it is in the game, when "the town" is designed, shaving the alleyway where dead end increases by any means, is thin, it becomes tend to make the big road. The character is caught, it seems that is many a thing which is made that way as a consideration in order to avoid the fact that the prayer is perplexed. But when 'the town of The Last Story' it is wide, you walk suitably and turn perhaps it is perplexed. Dead end has decreased, the narrow alleyway, very many. Boldly although it is made such design, there is a reason. The reason, by all means, "the town of this [ruri]" please walk turn realize either applying without.'' (Producer)

This is a game for Wii.

I like the art direction so far.

I do have to admit, I'm not a fan of the name.

I want a game that looks like that as a finished product.... well with a bit more detail, people should have faces :) But you know what I mean. Like a Story Book

so your going to fly over to japan to hunt down nintendo. good luck with that. watch out for their mechs.

It has not been stated by anyone that the game is JRPG!

The game is an RPG!

For all we know its makers could make it a turn based game or a more gameplay free game with some JRPG elements or just a pur RPG game!

Personaly i want this game to be an RPG and not be Turn Based in any form!

I dont want a Final Fantasy like game. I want it to let me kill the enemies in any way i want. Actually....the only reason i dont play Final Fantasy games in the whole turn based element.

Let the players show some combat skills based on reflexes and quick thinking than just make them push a button ALL THE TIME!

They dont have Mechs. Nintendo is too cool to do that!

Instead watch out for Ninja Cyborgs hidden all around their HQ!

Hell, because of your post they may even be in your room as we speak.

Throw a pirate hat in the middle of your room to make them reveal themselves!

Hey, dont laugh, it worked in MadWorld! 8) :lol:

Turn based or not it's still an RPG. There's no difference between JRPG and WRPG other than where it came from.

Either way, even though this game won't be turn based, turn based > real time.

Yeah i meant that the game is only described as RPG at the moment with no more information as to if it will be an JRPG or WRPG or anything else. I didnt write it correctly so thats why you thought that i said JRPG and RPG are two different things!

Sorry about that!

As for the Real Time vs Turn Based.... well i think
Real Time >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>infinity>>>>>>>>>>> Turn Based!

But you know that that is just my opinion and personal preference and that everyone has their own likes and dislikes!

Final Fantasy 1 is a mix between Dragon Quest, Zelda, and Ultima put together. And every RPG that came later has had Final Fantasy in their blood.Willy105

Argh, there are a thousand difference! :xWhich you like better is up to taste, but there is no point in arguing that the design philosophy is even remotely similar.

I find they are so completely different they should be considered separate genres and not directly compared.

:o

love the art from this game, details sounds neat too. Now show us some screens or better, a new trailer. Very excited to see more about this.

If someone were to play Demon's Souls without knowing of it's origin, I'd be willing to bet they'd assume it was developed in the west.

And yet, it's technically a JRPG. Know what JRPG stands for? Japanese Role Playing Game. Japan is a country.

That's preposterous.Willy105

Well my gut feeling is that you don't play enough of both then. I love both but they are generally extremely different.

If you want to be literal then sure. The definitions have gone beyond that however, given how unlike (Demon's Souls being the rare notable exeception of course. (And even it's still pretty different in big ways.))they truly are.

The keyword is technically. The term JRPG refers as much to the style of the game as the country of origin.

Demon Soul's is an obvious exception where an RPG from Japan contains more western design choices. To be honest, it's more of an action rpg or roguelike anyways.

Willy, go play a big selection of JRPG's and WRPG's and then come back to me and see if you still think the only difference is the country.

What a shame that lovely concept art is going to be bulldozed by the Wii's hideous hardware. See also Epic Mickey.KittenWishes

This is a Wii title to keep an eye on. I need some gameplay footage.

Last as in Final? Story as in Fantasy? Final Fantasy clone confirmed.SaltyMeatballs

thankfullly it's made by the same dude who made Final Fantasy.

The more I see of this awesome concept art the more irritated I get that the game is a Wii exclusive.

The game could actually look close to that on the PS3 and 360.

I'm hoping for some Gameplay or some Cutscenes for E3.

I agree with you completely, Storm.

Funny that, I'd think that the creator of the Final Fantasy franchise would you know make something similar to Final Fantasy.

Just a thought.

Did you guys realize that the game will be situated, most likely, on one single island?

The way they detailed the city and the emphasis they give on the exploration of the city and the island is giving me a strong The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask vibe!

I WOULD LOVE this game to have even the same depth of the main city in Majoras Mask. Just think about it!

Also the Epic Mickey Concept art was for later in the game. The videos and screenshots are from the begining of the game. Warren Spector said that but everybody forgets that.
