[Credo]

Well apparently GMG doesn't want my money. I've been stuck on the Billing Address screen for almost 5 minutes, and when I click Continue, all it does is resize the screen temporarily before going back to normal. Has anyone else had this problem?

Edit: Never mind. I finally got it to go through.

[archnemesis]

Don't go crazy about chaining enemies though. I did, and the game ended up being very difficult.

Edit: I haven't played the 360 version so that might be even worse.

[Aeana]

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.

Your battle rank affects how strong monsters are. It's a form of level scaling. On 360, battle rank increases much more quickly than it does on PC, especially if you link enemies, which can lead to you being high battle rank with low stats, which effectively screws you over. That's not nearly as much of an issue on PC, particularly since linking enemies has no effect on battle rank increases in that version.

See all the differences.

It's a much better game, to say the least.

Is this game good for someone who didn't finish any Final Fantasy game because of mostly stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters?

[Wario64]

I was gonna buy one myself but GMG doesn't allow you to buy more than 1 copy. I had credit too, bah

[Sora_N]

Bought, too bad I can't activate till I get home.

You play this game for the epic battles, not the story. The characters and story are nothing to write home about. They're not offensively bad like FF13 or Star Ocean 4, however.

[Seda]

Is this game good for someone who didn't finish any Final Fantasy game because of mostly stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters?

If you think every Final Fantasy game has a stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters, then The Last Remnant also has a stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters.

[Monocle]

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.

Yeah, don't get this game looking for a great story, guys. It's adequate at best. The real draw is the engaging combat system that lets you hire a troop of soldiers and generals, then develop them as you prefer with loads of cool weapons and abilities.

The sense of progression is superb. You start with a handful of basic skills and as you near the end of game you'll have a squad of elite badasses tricked out with legendary weapons and advanced techniques. I first played TLR on the 360. I can say the $40 I payed for that version was well spent, despite the performance problems. The combat is just so good.

umm. Play for the game play, not the story.

[la_briola]

Now I know that I own Arma II from Green Man Gaming. They gave it a way for free, sometime ago. Thanks GAF! :)

[Ciastek3214]

Okay, guess I just gonna try the demo, and think later.

[Labadal]

Is the site down? it won't load.

Nvm, worked directly after I had typed the message. loaded on my 7-8th try.

I paid full too.

The month after i brought it , it become sgd $49 lol(its rare for games prices to drop this fast in Singapore) ..........

But i get a cool t-Shirt, cant find the picture online.

[Easy_D]

If you think every Final Fantasy game has a stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters, then The Last Remnant also has a stupid story and dumb, one-dimensional characters.

Hey, Dave's a pretty cool guy. Rush is dumber than a rock though.

[Sophia]

Is the site down? it won't load.

It's really wonky right now. I still haven't received a confirmation email.

[LiquidMetal14]

I can get this for .74 cents!

Pity I already have it but anything under 10 (considering SE hasn't really dropped the price that much) is a good deal for this game. 3.74 is the cheapest I've ever seen it. Totally grab it if you don't have it yet.

[thetrin]

I would really love to buy this, but I still haven't gotten a confirmation email for my account.

:|

[Ciastek3214]

Meh, I'll pass, everything screams Final Fantasy to me.

[Seda]

Hey, Dave's a pretty cool guy. Rush is dumber than a rock though.

I really liked Emma and kinda liked Dave, the rest of the cast though.....eh.

Some of the unique leaders are pretty cool.

[Risk Breaker]

Got it for 0.60€, thanks GAF :)

[la_briola]

Now I know that I own Arma II from Green Man Gaming. They gave it a way for free, sometime ago. Thanks GAF! :)

Its even better.
I could trade one of the free games, for 1.50 EUR store credit, in.
Now I only have to pay 1.50 EUR (thanks to the voucher and the store credit) for The Last Remnant.

Thanks GAF!

[clay_ghost]

he is a rock sort of lol..............

[clay_ghost]

Totally unlike Final fantasy.

[Sophia]

Meh, I'll pass, everything screams Final Fantasy to me.

You're passing on a game with a damn good combat system. I don't think any serious RPG fan would do that. >_>;

I would really love to buy this, but I still haven't gotten a confirmation email for my account. :|

WELCOME TO THE CLUB. Maybe we'll get the email before the sale ends? :p

[Aeana]

I started a replay a couple of months ago but didn't finish. I wonder if I can dive into it again / figure out what I was doing. Would be nice to play along with some of the people who are just getting it now.

[Haunted]

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.

Yes, absolutely. Along with the better graphics/performance, the PC version has some crucial balance tweaks that make the game simply more fun to play.

I hear there was some sort of leader limit in the 360 version? That's just crazy.

[Relaxed Muscle]

Yeah, so many cool leaders that wanted to use but couldn't...

[Seda]

6 leaders only

[Lain]

Nice, almost bought yesterday for 7ish € until I realized this wasn't a game I was really interested in and I could just wait for a real discount and then today it's 75% off.
Grabbed it for 3€ with that code.

[Semblance]

So this is actually decent? I bought it just because, but that's good to know. Maybe I'll even play it now!

Dare I ask how long it is?

[Dark Octave]

I think the biggest thing that kept me away from The Last Remnant was how similar it looked to Undiscovered Discovery or whatever that game was called. I had a hard time deciding between the two, telling the two apart and at the same time kept hearing awful things about them both...or maybe just one but maybe got confused about which one was good and which one was bad.

I also saw my wife playing the demo of one of these games on PC and I wasn't really impressed. I think that's what nailed it for me. But I'm hearing people say "game of this gen". That has me kind of interested.

[Labadal]

Got my key. I really enjoyed this on 360. Finished it once and started a second playthrough, but not being able to pick unique characters for all positions annoyed me on my second run. That's why I decided to double dip.

[Takuan]

I bought it ages ago for $10 and played it for maybe an hour. I remember really liking the character design and general look to the game in general, but hating the controls on PC; now that I know how to get my Sixaxis working on my desktop, I'll give it another try the next time I'm feeling JRPGish.

The games are sooooo different from each other. Infinite Undiscovery is a tri-Ace action RPG. Last Remnant is a game where you command entire armies in a turn-based setting.

[Labadal]

So this is actually decent? I bought it just because, but that's good to know. Maybe I'll even play it now! Dare I ask how long it is?

Memory is blurry, but I'm sure i spent 50+ hours doing every quest and unlocking the more difficult final boss.

[clay_ghost]

So this is actually decent? I bought it just because, but that's good to know. Maybe I'll even play it now! Dare I ask how long it is?

Long, at least 80 plus hours. 100 if you want to clear most of the side quest.

[Meisadragon]

Bought! Thanks OP.

[Dark Octave]

The games are sooooo different from each other. Infinite Undiscovery is a tri-Ace action RPG. Last Remnant is a game where you command entire armies in a turn-based setting.

Ok then I must have seen my wife playing Infinate Undiscovery on the PC? It was an action RPG so I think that's the one. Ok I need to check out TLR then especially if you vouch for it. How did you feel about IU?

[Sophia]

More importantly, The Last Remnant is actually good.

Also, fuck banks, I won't be able to get this now because of their stupid policies. -_-

Ok then I must have seen my wife playing Infinate Undiscovery on the PC? It was an action RPG so I think that's the one. Ok I need to check out TLR then especially if you vouch for it. How did you feel about IU?

Infinite Undiscovery wasn't on the PC. If she was playing it on the PC then it was most certainly The Last Remnant.

[Aeana]

Ok then I must have seen my wife playing Infinate Undiscovery on the PC? It was an action RPG so I think that's the one. Ok I need to check out TLR then. How did you feel about IU?

Infinite Undiscovery doesn't have a PC port, it's 360 only.

I don't like IU at all.

[clay_ghost]

Ok then I must have seen my wife playing Infinate Undiscovery on the PC? It was an action RPG in a brown dungeon. Ok I need to check out TLR then. How did you feel about IU?

Infinate Undiscovery is a xbox360 only game.

You just reminded me that IU is the only xbox 360 exclusive rpg that i did not buy yet. Hope to find it cheap some where.....

[Sora_N]

Yeah, so glad I figured out how to make my PS3 controller work, makes playing PC games a lot easier. :)

[Sophia]

Yeah, you're really going to want a controller for this. The PC port is pretty lazy outside of fixing the performance issues.

[Dark Octave]

...What the hell was she playing then? I guess it was TLR. It was a dungeon. Really open and kinda bare. It was a while ago. Anyway, I think it's like $5 or $10 at Gamestop. I'll probably stop by and pick it up. Good RPGs are rare on consoles nowadays so I'd hate to miss out on one due to ignorance, or any reason really.

[Nabs]

Thanks, got it for free with my store credit. I rushed to buy it and forgot to use a coupon.

[Celegus]

Good price and I like JRPGs, but really don't need another long game to play. It's probably okay, but nothing about it screams "need to play!!1!1" to me.

[Semblance]

Memory is blurry, but I'm sure i spent 50+ hours doing every quest and unlocking the more difficult final boss.

Long, at least 80 plus hours. 100 if you want to clear most of the side quest.

Thanks. That's a lot longer than I was hoping for, admittedly. Heh.

I'll still check it out after I clear out a few things though. Kind of curious now.

[Aeana]

The game actually isn't that long if you don't do the sidequests. Most of the game's length is in those.
But you should do them, because they're so beneficial.
