Okay, here's what Famitsu has to say about The Last Remnant.
- Players might be confused at first because you're unable to select specific commands in battle, but once you learn how to form a Union and play around with the options of Formations and their arrangements, the game gets really fun.
- Battles are long, but it's not much of a problem. The real problem is being sucked into long subquests and not knowing when to stop playing.
- The battles are large scale but simple to control. Complicated commands and equipment details are automated, and instead the player focuses on the formation of the troops and predicting enemy movements.
- Providing each team with support in combat lends itself to uniquely challenging and intense combat.
- There's slowdown and stuff when there are tons of characters on screen.
- Last Remnant is a refreshing and original RPG in the vein of the Romancing SaGa series.
In the "This week's recommendations" column the Famitsu reviewers also have high praise for the game, saying that it's a masterpiece you will remember for a long time, and that the game contains tons of optional content beyond what is expected, and that it's a highly strategic epic.
