It was the last console based Project from Mistwalker for a long time and it can be argued The Last Story was the last one Great RPG to be released on Wii.

There was never a set party size, as each dungeon brought new allies along for the ride with its tweaking context. Combat was real-time, with the ability to use the environment as a weapon, making everything from exploding barrels to pillars more dynamic. There was even multiplayer in a separate mode, which wasn’t necessary, but still fun to deal with. The Last Story lacked the amount of vivid color, which was the only real downside, but it did a good job of conveying a sense of adventure that RPGs sometimes struggle to achieve.
