For many the game's cliché story, forgettable cast and atrocious technical problems will turn them away from what is an otherwise solid game. It's important to realize right from the get-go that The Last Remnant is not a game for everybody.

It may not be Square Enix's best work, but The Last Remnant is different enough to warrant a look. Thankfully I stuck with The Last Remnant, because what I found to annoying and tedious before became exciting and involving the further I got. To make matters worse I saw that second disc just taunting me, letting me know that this isn't going to be a short game.

This is a company made up of two of the greatest storytellers of our time, and The Last Remnant was the best they could come up with? I felt doomed. As I trudged through what felt like endless battles full of lame bad guys and ridiculous heroes, I wondered how Square Enix could have failed so miserably at delivering another great role-playing game. I won't lie to you the first ten hours of The Last Remnant are rough.
