Are you preodering/buying The Last Remnant?

[Zezlar]

With only 9 days away from Squares next big game I want to know how many are acctually picking up this title?

I got my copy preordered from Gamestop and I get like 3 Battle Codes and a Free Poster with it.

So are you buying it? If so why and if so why not?

I honestly think this game is going to be a blockbuster, The trailers and videos of gameplay are stunning to me. Also the character Wagram could be the next Sephiroth! (or...not? lol)

Famitsu review 38/40


Good bits: Weekly Famitsu's reviewers, all of whom know a thing or two about RPGs, had almost nothing but kind things to say the battle system, which the game apparently hinges on. "The gameplay begins and ends with the battle system, which is reminiscent of Romancing SaGa but has been refined to a wholly new class of RPG," wrote one. "It's undeniably complex and difficult to get to grips with, but gamers have got to experience the unique battles; you can't get something like this anywhere else."

Another thought that TLR isn't as difficult as all that, however: "You're fighting battles with huge forces, but the commands involved are easy. A lot of the equipment and order commands that'd be considered by most to be fiddly have been greatly automated for you."
TLR's battle system is such an integral part of the experience, apparently, that Famitsu's reviewers hardly talked about anything else. One reviewer called out the "great" graphics and character designs, also noting that there's a ton of content to explore within the game.

Bad bits: All the reviewers mentioned a bit of a learning curve involved with enjoying the game, though they all took pains to note that it was easily surmounted. Said one: "Not being able to freely choose your skills in battle makes things bewildering at the start, but things do an about-face once you form your own Unions," the teams of soldiers you control in battle. Others wrote that each battle takes "a fair amount of time" and "things drag a little when there are lots of participants in battle," although neither issues were seen as a big deal once you got used to them.
Final Score: 10/10/9/9, for a total of 38 points and a Platinum award.

Me and Neal might rent it. We aren't exactly looking forward to it after what a mess Infinite Undiscovery was. It looked good when it was announced but the more they've shown, worse it's looked. That frog things voice is incredibly irritating.

I got the money for it, and a pre-order..so even if it ends up being underwhelming, who cares, i want something to play!!

No way. I was interested in this until they showed more of it. I might rent it but 100% not buying.
