    The Last Remnant Review: Strategically Sound, Technically Flawed

    East meets West as Square Enix releases The Last Remnant, their first attempt at creating a role-playing experience with both Japanese and Western audiences in mind.

    The game follows the adventure of Rush Sykes, a small-village boy who gets thrust into global intrigue after his sister is kidnapped by a sinister man in a flying golden machine. It features a unique union-based battle system that supports large-scale encounters, a cast of memorable characters, and an antagonist easily as powerful as Square Enix's more famous villains, if not quite as pretty. The whole thing is powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 3, marking the first time that Square has reached outside of their own toolbox to develop a title.

    So how did their first stab at a globe-pleasing RPG pan out? Read on and find out. More »

    Square Enix Details Last Remnant DLC For December

    We've not seen the last of The Last Remnant, as Square Enix drops the details on not one but four different packs of downloadable content coming to Xbox Live Marketplace in December.

    The first two free packs, Challenge Pack 1: "Purgatory's Sins" and "The Key of Ancient Ruins" will be release on December first, with the former containing a new set of difficult guild challenges and the latter introducing a new area to explore. Then December 15th sees the release of the "March to War" set, which is the three special pre-order formations for 100 MS points. Finally, on December 22nd they release Challenge Pack 2: "The Price Of Lies", which is as free as the first one. Note that all of these dates are for gold Xbox Live Members, with silver members getting access a week later.

    I'm having nightmares about the game's difficulty as it is, so the prospect of more difficult missions? Truly terrifying. More »

    The Last Remnant's Mildly Enticing Pre-Order Bonus

    Were you planning on picking up the new Square Enix title The Last Remnant next month? No? Well let's see what we can do to sweeten the deal for you. How's about we give you a special pre-order bonus? Something to really make you stand up and take notice of this untested property. Perhaps some bonus unlockable content? Square Enix has announced that everybody who pre-orders The Last Remnant from participating retailers will get a special code that unlocks three special battle formations! Yes! I am running to the store right now!

    While I am sure the three formations - Scatterswarm, Goblet and Catapult - will make a big difference in the gameplay, currently have no real idea what a formation does, so I am pretty much utterly unmoved by this news. Luckily for them, they are Square Enix, and the new screenshots you'll find after the jump are gorgeous, so it's all good. More »

    Last Remnant Team So Cannot Wait For Unreal Engine 4

    The Last Remnant is all about firsts. It's the first title that Square Enix has made using the Unreal Engine 3, and the first title that Square Enix has used actual foreigners during the game's motion capture — a move, according to art director Yusuke Naora "totally changed our way of thinking about the project".

    The Last Remnant Screenshot Explosion

    Square Enix can be a little sporadic when it comes to handing out screens of their upcoming titles, but when they do get around to it they do it up big. How big? They've just dropped over 70 screenshots for The Last Remnant, covering all the bases. It's so large we had to split it into two galleries, one dealing with the characters and encounters in the game, and another that covers bosses and storyline moments. I'm really digging the style of Remnant, though after the pile that was Infinite Undiscovery (which should have had Saga at the end) anything else comes out looking like a work of art. Without further ado, here's enough pretty pictures to keep us occupied until the game's November release.

    Yes, Yes, Star Ocean 4 & The Last Remnant Are Playable

    Back on Monday, Square Enix announced its big Tokyo Game Show plans. The company hadn't then decided in what form The Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4 would take at the show — whether they'd just be new trailers or actually playable. Well, Square Enix has made of its mind and yes, both games will be playable on the TGS show floor. Not only that, there will be trailers, too. So when you're not playing, you can be watching. And when you're not doing that, you can be doing other things.

    Famitsu Apologizes For Last Remnant PS3 Date Flub

    Upcoming Square Enix The Last Remnant is coming to the Xbox 360 on November 20th. After launching first on Microsoft's game console, it'll be released on the PS3 and for PCs — those dates are TBA. Well, they were. Seems that in a recent Famitsu PS3, the magazine announced the PS3 version as November 20th as well. Hey, that's the same day as the Xbox 360 release!

    A goof apparently, as Famitsu is running a correction, stating that the release date should read "TBA". Famitsu also adds: "To our readers and all concerned parties, we deeply apologize for any trouble this may have caused. We hope you accept our apology and correction."

    The Last Remnant Getting Xbox 360 Release First, True Simultaneous Release

    Upcoming Square Enix RPG The Last Remnant will be getting an Xbox 360 release before the PS3 one. The game was first announced in 2007, and Square Enix touted the fact that it would be getting a simultaneous PS3/Xbox 360 release in both Japan and North America this winter with Europe following later. Now, it looks like it will get a simultaneous Xbox 360 release and a PS3 one later. And get this, Square Enix now says the game will launch in Japan, North America and Europe at the same time this winter — on the Xbox 360. More »

    The Last Remnant On Game Head Tonight

    Tonight's episode of Game Head on SpikeTV promises a "broadcast exclusive" look at Square-Enix's newest IP, The Last Remnant. The PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 role-playing game was announced recently as the first Square-Enix title to take advantage of the Unreal Engine 3 platform, so I expect pretty graphics and even prettier cinematics.
