[Swamp Sensei]

I just beat The Last Story.

Such a beautiful story. An amazing love story and just awesome overall.

On par with Xenoblade imo.

I've been awaken for almost 24 hours now
This is fine
This isn't fine I need help
Ignore him

Didn't the Minions movie stealthy say that the Minions were created after WWII to avoid saying they helped Hitler, but said they'd help the most evil person, meaning they'd help Hitler if they were around?

From what I understand with what's said around, they existed prior to WWII but went out of business for some time before it
They're like that boss that you know you hit it but the game says you didn't because **** inconsistent hitboxes

YOU LUCKY ******* YOU DON'T SEE THE HORROR THAT IS GOOD MARKETING

It doesn't help that they usually start crying when parents and such say no

That's 90% due to parents who cant stand their ground, but I feel you.

EVERYONE'S GAY FOR BRIDGET!

I'm not.....but we've had a few Yusei/Yugi moments

I can't trust a person that lies
Can you trust in a person that lies? If you can't, how can you trust yourself?
Or do you just have low self esteem
Anyways, lying is bad, stay in school and winners don't take drugs

You can trust me. Bridget and I are homies. I've been training him to be a burly burly man man. He now goes by bridge and wears pants......he kept the nun habit and shoes though. Baby steps.

No, they've been around since the jurrasic period, so as far as my head canon is concerned Minons helped Hitler in his villainous plan.

did the minions kill the dinosaurs

It's what he wanted.

They killed a T-Rex, I don't know if they were responsible for killing all the dinosaurs, but I'm adding that to my head canon now.

You're a monster, did you know that?

But who was the evil master behind it that they helped?
I knew the government was hidong something from us, I just never expected it to be about dinosaurs

Minions removed Twinkies from the US. Minions will cause WWIII. Minions are why Ridley isn't in Smash. It all adds up

A review?

Uh...

Okay...

Let me give this a shot.

Story: The game is a tale of mercenaries who long to be knights to escape the poor and downtrodden life they live. On Lazulis Island (where the game takes place) mercenaries are seen as the lowest of the low as they do they job no one wants to do.) Our group consists of Zael, Yurrick, Dagran, Syrenne, Mirania and Lowell. Near the beginning of the story, Zael meets a mysterious woman whom he finds out is actually Lady Calista, the current count's niece. They want to be together but a war with a neighboring race, the Gurak, starts spirialing the plot into an emotional tornado. This along with the mysterious power of the Outsider that Zael finds early on left me guessing where it was going to go. I felt uplifted in some parts and actually disgusted in others. The plot works very well and the superb writing only compliments it. I laughed. I cried. It does everything well but I'll admit there is one plot twist that I felt was stupid. Still, overall it's a great love story.

Characters: But what good story would be good without a fun cast of characters? Let me just say. They work and work well. They are all likeable and they actually improve on their flaws. The relationships with each other change for the better. The greatest strength this game has is how the characters interact and evolve.

Gameplay: So it's kind of like Xenoblade in how it works. You attack automatically when you're near an enemy. You mostly play as Zael whom gets some special abilities that you unlock as you play. He can use Gale to zip around and dispel magic circles, run up a wall to attack from above and use Accelerate to give you and your party a speed boost. Most notably, he can use the power of the outsider to distract enemies. It's like Aggro from Xenoblade. The other members of your party have different roles, (Dagran and Syrenne are attackers meant to distract the enemy, while Lowell, Yurrick, Mirania and Calista attack with powerful magic, Calista and Mirania can heal too). Your job is to protect them and command them to use their abilities to the fullest. Here's a video so you can get an idea.

Spoiler

Outside of battle you walk around Lazulis City. You walk. Not much but it's really all you need.

It's a fun system with a surprising amount of strategy.

Graphics: It's a Wii game so it's not quite as pretty as it could be and there's some texture pop and the quality drops in some places. Limited by the hardware. The art is amazing though.

Performance: It runs well for the most part, but it definitely slows down at times. When too much stuff is going on, you will definitely see it. Off of the Wii, it would have been great.

Music: Listen to this.

Spoiler

This is the title theme.

THE MUSIC IS REALLY GOOD!

Other Things:

• This game has a lot of detail thrown in. I can bump into people as I walk past them in the city for example. I can overhear conversations. Lots of neat little stuff. I personally love it
• The game has a sharp difficulty spike at the end.
• It's pretty linear. Not a bad thing and there are optional chapters and side quests to entertain yourself with.
• There are points of no return. Lots. I loathe these in most games but it's bearable here. I guess. Still don't like them.
• There is online multiplayer! I couldn't play it because Nintendo disable wifi for Wii games. Still I'm looking through the stuff and it looks pretty fun. If only I could try it.
• THE GAME MAKES ME FEEL GOOD MAN!

I'd give it a "Pretty darn good, you should play it!"

You're good at this. I think you should do this every time you beat a game from now. Unless you don't want to of course

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Eh. I'd only do it for stuff I feel people don't know about.


For everyone, do you like the sound of the game? Did I change your mind maybe? Any questions about it?

It's certainly got my attention now

 

[Dravidian]

You're a monster, did you know that?

A truthful monster.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

It's certainly got my attention now

If it comes out on the Wii U eshop, defiantly check it out.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

If

goddammit I thought it was already there. Mixed it up with Pandora's Tower again

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I feel bad that I own Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower, and have beaten none of them.

 

[Dravidian]

I dunno if you care, but a new disc of The Last story usually runs around or under $30. I've seen a few places that sold it lower.

It's not well known like Xenoblade, so finding it should be easy.

Spoiler

It's a fact that the only bad Boom things are the games. Also, rip Dongasaur avi

 

[Neo Zero]

We're talking about the glory that is The Last Story?

That game was great, second best Wii RPG

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So yeah, as you can see, Parappa won. Say hello to Swamp Swamp Master Onion. If you haven't checked out Parappa, give it a shot.

Also...

I would check it out if it was on the PSN. Are you going to teach us the art of romantic karate?

Tatsumi Kimishima is the new overlord of Nintendo.

Well then, that's news.

 

[vaanrose]

Tatsumi Kimishima is the new overlord of Nintendo.

Here's hoping he's got a sense of humor rivaled only by his sense of business.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Tatsumi Kimishima is the new overlord of Nintendo.

Hm...

So what does this mean?

Who is this guy exactly?

 

[Neo Zero]

Has this guy made any games? Never heard of him

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Hm...

So what does this mean?

Who is this guy exactly?

Has this guy made any games? Never heard of him

He was the president of NoA from 2002 - 2006 soooo....

Edit: credited in MP 5 - 8, Mario Advanced Golf and Toadstool Tour and Metroid Prime and in other various Wario and Metroid games.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Aw screw it.

I'm gonna ignore the stupid poll.

Just gonna grind a bit on Hyrule Warriors tomorrow and then do DKC2.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I dunno about you guys, but I for one welcome our new Overlord of Nintendo


Let's hope this guy has a great sense of humor.

 

[Kenith]

Here's hoping he's got a sense of humor rivaled only by his sense of business.

And a sense of...fun.
(I have no idea who this is. That's not good news)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh...

I like the track record.

 

[vaanrose]

Kimishima has been Chairman of the Board for NoA for the last decade, and has lived in the US since 2002. He should have a good idea of what the western fanbase is like. I'm optimistic about this choice.

 

[DeathFox137]

A new president of Nintendo in JP, huh. Okay, cool. I can't wait to see what he has as far as directs. This is gonna be so exciting. If there are any directs still existing that is.
