The article states that pre-orders in japan for The Last Remnant will come with a DVD called Square Enix x Xbox360 Trailer Collections. This is the trailer DVD opposite of the Square Enix x Xbox360 Sound Collections CD that came with Infinite Undiscovery. This time, the DVD will include trailers and TVCMs for IU, TLR and SO4 from not just Japan but all over the world. There will be about 30 trailers in total. Also included on the disc will be clean versions of the opening FMV for all 3 games. Yes, that includes SO4, even though the game isn't out yet.

Inside the cover of the trailer DVD (just like with the sound collection CD) will be a download code for a set of 3 formations. In The Last Remnant, you set up each Union with a formation to determine how the Union will be spaced out during battles. Different formations are more effective for different types of characters. The 3 bonus formations are Trick Play, Delta Cross and Power Raise.

Here's a screen showing how you select formations in the game:

interesting

....hype still growing for this one

Aeana · Oct 15, 2008

Neat. I won't be getting the pre-order bonus, but I really want this game.

bryehn · Oct 15, 2008

I'll wait till next year, otherwise this'll go directly into the old backlog.

Mr YuYu · Oct 15, 2008

I'm really hoping this game will be awesome, but i kinda think it won't be :-/

(no idea why)

Go Visual Works go.

Princess Skittles · Oct 15, 2008

So many 360 JRPGS this year!

This one will have to wait, I think I'm taking a break before I open up Infinite Undiscovery even.

Jazzy Network · Oct 15, 2008

Isn't this game like GG2? If so no thanks.

Classic_Gs · Oct 15, 2008

Would be nice if we got all of these goodies too in the US.

Dunno. Looks like it. I could be wrong.

Based on what? It's a turn based RPG with enemy encounters. I'm not sure how that even remotely compares with GG2...

Jazzy Network · Oct 15, 2008

What about the battle leader and units thing? Seems like I'm leading units through a battlefield or some thing.

Your party is comprised of Unions. Each Union has a leader and up to 4 other members. In battles you give commands every turn to each Union, not to specific characters. Outside of battles it's just the main character running around towns, fields, dungeons, etc.

Play.com has a release date of 21/11/08 for the UK, but the page is rather empty, no boxart or screens. Amazon doesn't even list it.

Is it really confirmed for that date in Europe?

*scratches head*

So, what about dungeons and stuff? You have like, your own Union, and what do you do? Can't really say, do you command your Union as a whole to grind, beat bosses and so on, or you have a normal Jrpg-like party for exploring and levelling up?

In battles, your unions come out..... When he says in dungeons, he means outside of battle. Kinda like how in most turn-based RPGs, you see a single character running around and then you have a party during battle.

You haven't checked any of the videos, right?

The game is set during war. You go to war.

Is this turned based?

Nope, we lied.

What is with the PS3 version of this game? Isn't it supposed to be multi-platform? Is there a timed exclusive?

Hopefully before March.

Want so hard. I don't really understand the formations code, though... am I to understand you can't just adjust where the union members go unless you have a code or you "find" it (like FFXII gambits)? If so, that's somewhat lame :-\

Sorta like Radiata Stories in that case. Didnt you have to learn formations?

fernoca · Oct 16, 2008

...pre-order goodies outlined..for Japan..

Misleading title, OP should be banned.

That's like dividing by zero!

Nemesis_ · Oct 16, 2008

I still have no idea what this game is like in terms of gameplay. At best I am looking at it similarly to have combat just like..Final Fantasy XII? =/ Or is it more like KOTOR?

SatelliteOfLove · Oct 16, 2008

Marginally interested, if only cuz it's a new S-E IP and I want more of that like in Ye Olden Days.

May give you at least a little more insight.

I think it's slightly different from what formations are normally, because basically in this case it doesnt just determine how the Union is laid out, but it also apparently determines what benefits the Union gets in terms of defense and offense. So I guess it's a sort of general "stance" for that Union.
