Product Description
-------------------
Embroiled in seemingly endless conflict, the Empire has been
slowly weakened by the relentless onslaught of enemy forces.
Despite the debilitated state of the mainland, however, a
virtually impenetrable last line of defense stands proud and
keeps hope alive for all the land. That beacon of hope is Lazulis
Island, ruled by the renowned Count Arganan. With the employment
of an army of weapons that magically - and mysteriously-
concentrates beasts into a single region, his island has become a
small wonder for its powers. Among those coming to the island to
seek their fortune is Zael, a young man who at an early age was
orphaned when his homeland became one of the many victims of
battle. Though he and his band of fellow mercenaries often face
disdain and fear as they are perceived to be of a lower class,
they manage to catch the eye of none other than Count Arganan
himself. If they can successfully complete the tasks put before
them by the Count, they may have a rare chance to gain the most
honorable status that they have only dreamed of - knighthood. It
is during one of these missions bestowed upon them that Zael
discovers a hidden site, one which grants him a wondrous and yet
familiar power to gather his enemies in one place. The Last Story
marks the reunion of two luminaries that helped shape the RPG
genre; legendary creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, and
internationally-recognized composer Nobuo Uematsu. The genre is
advanced with an innovative real-time combat system involving
strategic party-based commands that include taking cover from
enemy fire, destroying environments to gain a advantage,
and drawing fire away from your allies to give them time to cast
powerful support spells. Once the battle system is mastered,
players can test their skills online where co-op and versus mode
for up to 6 players can net special rare items. Normal 0 false
