At the end of the day though, they're both brilliant games and I wish I could just immerse myself in Xenoblade, but I'm not complaining with the Last Story around. I love Xenoblade, but because it's so huge and takes too much time I had a hard time feeling immersed in the game. I also think it's kind of unfair to compare it to Xenoblade, which is a huge massive game that feels like a MMORPG. Side-quests don't play a huge factor in the game (like they do in Xenoblade) and even though I personally enjoy doing side-quests, if I miss one or two in the Last Story, I don't feel bummed out.Įven though the Last Story has some great new elements, it still feels kind of like an old school JRPG (which is a good thing), I can't put my finger on why though, maybe it's just the touch of Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu, but I feel quite nostalgic as I play. It's true that it's difficult to keep track of side-quests, but you're just usually doing one or two at the same time, and I personally tend to just do side-quests when I find them. It's been a while since I've played a game that made me react to what I was experiencing in-game, and there's been one or two parts in the game that's already done that for me.

The story so far (I'm 15 hours in) is interesting but a little cliche'd. The battle system is the biggest draw in the game along with the characters that I've gotten to like and grown attached to. Now the comment above said that it's too short (I've read it's about 40 hours long), but for a person who works a lot, I don't have much time to play a 80+ hours JRPG, so it's the perfect length for me.

I'm just playing through The Last Story now and I think it's a great JRPG.
