3.74 no more! Still hella cheap, though.

Dont forget to use the 20% off coupon! COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1

If you've already used that one (one per account, I guess), another has been discovered:

Yes, new 20% off voucher. PARTP-ALCNO-TIESU

Felt like posting: Favorite Town Music - Old Traditions, New Methods (Melphina) Favorite Dungeon Music - Limberlost Favorite Battle Music - Sword Sparks (tough to choose one)

The Last Remnant Wiki is pretty useful. Has a page on each dungeon (showing chests and dig point items), rare monster (for spawn patterns and such), weapons (how to craft, where to buy) and even a walkthrough (to avoid missables and whatnot). Also a page for each sidequest, of course.

Here is a link to a helpful thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1974930 It includes settings for reducing texture pop-in and enabling v-sync among others.

[edit: posted before I saw this in the Steam Sale thread, but this is thread-worthy news to some, right?]

That's a really great deal. The game is so great on PC.

[Relaxed Muscle]

Really cool game. One of the best JRPG this gen.

Now, I can sell my 360 copy lol

[Seda]

Still my favorite game this gen. I love it.

[Necrovex]

I really should focus on TLR after I complete Rage. I keep getting side-tracked.

[squall211]

Anyone with an even a passing interest in JRPGs needs to jump all over this. I loved it on the 360, which is by far the shittier version of the game.

Can you only user that voucher once or as many times as you'd like?

[clay_ghost]

I trade in an old game with another 20% off coupon and get it for free. Love GMG :D

Always want to play this game again, will clear some time. One of the best RPG this gen.
Heard the pc version have some double speed options for battle too :D

As nice as turbo mode is, it makes doing the critical triggers really difficult!

Only once.

[Rikkun]

Bought, thanks for the code Madrugador!
Unluckily I had to pay it in € but the code made it 3€ :D

[DoctorWho]

Only once.

Thanks. I'll save it then. Any word when it expires? Might use it for Dark Souls.

[drizzle]

Motherfuckers!

Hey, at least 7,49 is not that bad.. :D

[Kareha]

Just bought this as I've been wanting to play it for a while, nice spot :)

[Deques]

I'm glad that I didn't buy it last week. Saved me a few bucks ^^

[Madrugador]

According to one of the staff members of GMG, it will expire at the end of the month.

Thanks again.

[LuchaShaq]

Played 3-4 hours of it and thought it was by the numbers new era square garbage. Proceed only if you like square's recent offerings.

[Stronghammer22]

The 31st I believe.

*Damn, I'm slow.

Anyway, I have this on 360, haven't touched it yet. I actually didn't even mean to buy it, but I got it mixed up with Resonance of Fate somehow and voila, it's mine now. I've heard the PC version is a lot better, will grab it and leave the 360 version in the backlog.

Have you played Lost Odyssey? That's the game I measure this generations JRPGs by.

What about the game is like Square's other games? The combat system is really unique, and the progression system is inherited from the SaGa games which certainly isn't "new era."

[LuchaShaq]

Have you played Lost Odyssey? That's the game I measure this generations JRPGs by.

Yes, Lost Odyssey has more interesting characters in the intro than Last remnant could ever hope to have.

Compared to the rest of this generations console JRPGS it was good but not for me.

Tales of Vesperia is the only PS360 jrpg that I would both call good, and also fun for me this generation.


Compared to things like Persona 3, Persona 4, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2 I'd say Lost Odyssey is very poor.

[two4two]

Does this have controller support?

[Zeouterlimits]

How are the story and characters? Deciding factor for me.

[BKJest]

It's OK to not like the game. Most people didn't back when it came out. But it's nothing like any other game released by Square Enix this generation.

[Aeana]

Does this have controller support?

Yes, and it's pretty much the only way you're going to play it comfortably since the mouse support in the game is awful.

[Omikaru]

The code COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1 makes it £2 for us Brits. Didn't even have to think, just gave them my money.

Thanks OP.

[DeadFalling]

edit: Xelios hooked me up!!

[Risk Breaker]

Site is crapping itself for anyone else?

[Monocle]

It would be awesome if that site didn't keep giving me errors when I try to make a payment.

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Thank you for posting. I've always wanted to try this out, but not at a high price.

[Vegivo]

might get. never played before

[Relaxed Muscle]

How are the story and characters? Deciding factor for me.

I don't think the story is bad (XIII level bad), but is definetly not remarkable. There's a few cool characters (Emma is the best female character in a JRPG in....years) but most of them follow the JRPG cliches by the book without nothing really interesting on them.

Most of the charm for the game definetly goes for the unique battle system and the different mechanics around it (character growth, battle formations, etc...).

[Monocle]

Just got my fifth error message after entering my card info for the fifth time. How grand. Guess the site doesn't want my business.

[Seda]

Emma is great, David is...okay.

Rest is meh.

Story isn't insulting but it's not remarkable.

I love this game to death, and it certainly isn't because of the story or characters.

Uh....this game is nothing like FFXIII. At all.

I don't know, I'm kind of enjoying waiting a good half minute for each new page to load.

I agree with this. The story is OK but mostly forgettable. The characters are nothing special but it's not too offensive either. Some of the sidequests contain nice pieces of lore. It's not a game one should play for story only.

But the area the game shines in is it's battle mechanics. Especially the large scale battles which get introduced about half way through the first disc. Never since FF Tactics have I experienced such epic battles with similar dramatic turns of tide.

[Tylahedras]

I was hoping to buy this on PS3 someday (wasn't that rumored a long time ago?) but I suppose I can part with $3.74 and feel pretty good about actually being able to play it.

[Kyoufu]

Will buy for JYB.

[Wag]

Sweet! Got it for $1 after code and trade-ins. Got to be worth that.

[Sophia]

I want to buy this, but I can't get the website to load the checkout at all. Ick.

The character progression and battle rank mechanics can bit a bit complex. My simple advice to new players:

Don't fight (too many) battles where your moral bar starts fully blue. This will inflate your battle rank with only small stat ups.

Try to fight battles where your moral bar starts fully red. This will give you many more stat ups without inflating your battle rank too much.


There's a bit more to it than that, however.

Battle rank is really not that big of a deal in the PC version at all. People can honestly play however they like and they'll be fine; it's much harder to screw yourself over than it was in the 360 version.

[Sora_N]

Ordering, thanks!

Ahh, I didn't realize they tweaked it. Once I figured out how to get the most of out BR in the 360 version I just brought the same idea to the PC version when I played it.

Huh?

I remember playing the 360 version when it was first released and thinking the difficulty curve was all kinds of messed up - I kind of played myself into a corner very early on.

You're saying the PC version is different (i.e. easier)? I've been sitting on the Steam version for many years, grabbed it during some old sale years back.
