The Last Story: A Epic RPG by Nintendo+Mistwalkers
I'm sure some of you have heard, but Nintendo and the developers Mistwalkers (team made up of former Square employees) are working together to bring us an epic Wii RPG. Not much is known yet but this is whats been revealed so far:
According to the developers, the world will be huge, as well as the towns. The major cities are supposedly so big with so many paths and alleys that you can easily get lost. Main character(s) haven't been revealed yet but you start out as a mercenary who was victim to seeing his village burned and loved ones killed, and apparently you have a bone to pick with the Knights. No in-game footage or trailer yet but the developer blog will update every week teasing us as it goes. It's slated to release late this year. Here are concepts (keep in mind that these aren't any specific characters, just concept work) Spoiler for Images:
Update There setting is going to have ocean travel as the primary source of world travel, as airships is to Final Fantasy. Here are some new images. Spoiler for images:
Some clarifications: The main hero and heroine were both victims of losing their parents when they were young. They live bearing with the horrible memory of their parents deaths. I'll update this post as more information is released. Update Spoiler for Hero + Heroine:
The blog did not provide their names. And, more significantly, it did not say why there's a tiger behind them. In the post, the game's director hinted that the hero and heroine will have some hurdles to overcome in their relationship. "There's a wall between the two," he wrote. Not a literal wall, of course, but there does appear to be something keeping them from being together. Both the producer and director hinted at a multifaceted story for the game. Outside of the main story, which focuses on the hero and heroine, the producer said that he expects players to have a chance to experience the stories of the game's various other characters as well. "The characters who appear in the Last Story all walk their own paths and have their own stories," wrote the producer. The director hinted at some possible specific substories you'll encounter in the game: * A prison break by a foolish archaeologist * A close friend who's turned to evil * The mysteries surrounding a father who went missing on a boat * The fear of speaking your true feelings. How these substories will work into the game is unclear at this point. But it seems that they will be "worked into" the game rather than standing along side it. Explained the director, "It's very important to merge battles and gameplay with story. Neither can stand on its own. Once both are connected together, the characters will rise up as 'human' within the container of a game." Update: Finally some screen shots! Here are the scans Spoiler for images:

I'm getting a really strong FF12/Ivalice vibe here. In terms of style that's great, I love FF12's style. But I hope it's battle system and story would be different. I prefer character driven story.
As bad as this sounds, I feel like the Wii isn't the right market for this. They'd probably get more attention if they put this on the 360 or the PS3 or both. |

With that said, this game looks awesome and I really hope it's not like the newest FF.. It was way too linear. Though I do wonder why they chose Wii for a game like this ? Would do much better on Ps3, atleast graphics wise.

There are other considerations besides graphical prowess. Like the cost to develop the game, and the size of the installed user base.

I'm just happy I get to use my Wii again, last time was for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and that was months ago xD
Island looks like one of them off Dragon Quest VIII and the city looks almost like The Last Remnant so I guess you can't go wrong :P As long as the story is solid I'd definitely play it, and +1 to Dist, FFXIII really bored me, linear is fine but not when the story gets stale and you can't take a break from it =/ Also sounds like FF a bit, if it goes well we'll end up with a ton of sequels and people asking, "Why is it called The Last Story when it's the 7th sequel?" |

Anyway you know you could've just said Nintendo were funding part of it couldn't you? Exact same reason Mistwalker did Blue Dragon and LO on 360.. except replacing MS with Nin. |
