I would love for Mistwalker to do another game with a similar battle system. The Last Story has the feel of a foundation that could have led to a awesome second or third installment. Read more

This game deserves so much more of this kind of recognition, so thank you for it. It shows that focused, semi-linear, small scoped RPGs can still have great gameplay and be great games in today’s day and technology. I’m still waiting for a game that follows its footsteps.
