The Last Story (Wii) has online versus and co-op modes

There's a new scan from next week's Jump floating around now. It shows a brand new feature in the game: the Raid Lobby. Using the Raid Lobby to form parties of up to 6 players online, players can either participate in an online free for all deathmatch challenge, or the players can take part in co-op challenges against raid bosses. Also showcased in the scan is the extensive customization system for equipment. Not only are equipment all visible like in Xenoblade, but in The Last Story, players can also customize their equipment by changing the color of parts of the armor and weapons.

I guess this really is different than your standard JRPG. Actually quite surprising features.

They better bring it to the west...

Well if Reginleiv Fatal Frame IV Xenoblade The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has a shot, this one does too.

Any friendcodes or such silliness?

Yes, it's a Nintendo published game. Expect a gimped random match-up mode with the fully featured mode reserved for Friends and, maybe if we're lucky, Rivals. FCs are ofcourse needed for adding Friends.

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
And we don't have confirmation of a western release yet.... why?

No, you see there was a serious conflict between NOA and NCL since NOA wants to put an angry flying link heads on the boxart but NCL refused.

Awesome... I was hoping they'd have a feature like this.

Now we just need to bug mistwalker on twitter to make sure they have headset support if the game comes out in US/Europe.

Headsets are over-rated (plus, Nintendo published game). Just support the damn official peripheral and do it right.

Bitch, no. Monster Hunter has taught us to keep our mouths shut.

Just buy a wireless headset to use with Skype, Steam, TeamSpeak or whatever.

I'm going to ask for Wii Speak support too, don't worry.

The color customization stuff for weapons & armor looks fairly robust in the scan.... I count 64 colors.

WTF? why does an RPG have to have that? leave the FPS and cover based TPS for that.

Well, I am expecting less developed SP now.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
Does it have local co-op too? If it does this just became an instant day 1 for me.

Well, Last Story is 3rd person, you can shoot stuff, and the combat is cover based, so...

Is it really that hard to understand? Because Monster Hunter has it and Monster Hunter is insanely popular. Sub-genre is irrelevant, a trend is a trend.

So hope Xenoblade comes out here next year as well? Impressions for the game were nothing short of great and it has no multi-player.

Stop being too positive man. I'll be crushed if it doesn't come here. :(

I honestly don't see what all the uproar is about. The online mode here sounds EXACTLY like Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep's multiplayer mode (except that was not online). It's a completely optional and separate part of the game, instanced for multiplayer. It has nothing to do with the story or anything.

I think your approaching this backwards. Maybe he is implying Last Story isn't a traditional RPG and from what I can see and read it isn't. So your expectations are a little off.

Wow, I never thought it was alone in this uproar disagreement. What I am afraid of, is that the focus on the story becomes partial as some of the dev. team will inevitably work on the MP rather than add a thing or two to the SP. The MH argument doesn’t work as that game is tailored for MP in that mind so the team that is working on the design of that game is making both SP and MP simultaneously.

Also, I disagree about this KH comparison, SE can give the budget and an extra team to Namuro so it is sort of guaranteed that SP will fully be developed.

I am talking like we are going to have the game at all so I hope I don't jinx our luck at all :(

Yeah, someone told me earlier that it’s going to have guns and third person cover system which I am very sadden by.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I always have to :lol when I see forum posters telling devs how they should make their games.

"But no, you can't include basic multiplayer, that'll make the single player suck!! Look how bad Uncharted 2 and MP: Echos turned out!"


I think this is cool; if it's your last story Sakaguchi, go crazy with yo bad self. Besides, online may make it more Western appealing (at least in their minds), which increases chance of getting, it sooooo
