It looks like the Last Remnant includes reaction commands during battles. The screenshot above shows a player blocking an attack by pulling the right trigger. Interesting, but the Last Remnant’s combat system still doesn’t sound that different from other RPGs. Instead of commanding individual party members you bark orders to unions (read: parties) like “attack [...]

During combat you don’t control a handful of god-like warriors in the Last Remnant, you control multiple parties each consisting of up to five characters. However, the command system is quite similar to your run of the mill turn based RPG. Instead of selecting fight you give each union commands like “time to get physical!” [...]

How do you control multiple unions in the Last Remnant? No clue. We have to wait until Tokyo Game Show to find out. Since we’re drawing close to the release date Square Enix is starting to reveal a bit more about the world and this trailer shows some of the races. Similar to Ivalice the [...]

I’m guessing this has been floating around for awhile, but in case you missed it Square-Enix threw up a larger version of the Last Remnant trailer on the Japanese page. When I saw this about a month ago I wasn’t sure what to think. I still don’t know what to think besides imagining a Dynasty [...]

Square-Enix released a new video of The Last Remnant, an RPG “for the world”. After seeing it I was immediately reminded of Dynasty Warriors and I’m not sure if that is a good thing. Drakengard was Square-Enix’s take on that genre and it turned out decent, not great. However, this is supposed to be a [...]

Something that is on the official site [...]
