First Look: The Last Story's World


We at long last have our first look at the
setting for The Last Story, the new Wii exclusive RPG from Final
Fantasy father Hironobu Sakaguchi.


March 11, 2010 -
We at long last have our first look at The Last Story,
the new Nintendo-published Wii RPG from Final Fantasy father Hironobu
Sakaguchi's Mistwalker
studio. It's just artwork, but it should get RPG fans excited.




Nintendo Japan posted the first in a series of developer blog posts at The Last Story
official site. In the first post, the game's director and producer
(neither are identified, although the producer could be Sakaguchi
himself) discuss the game's setting.




The Last Story is set on Ruri Island. Located at the mouth of a harbor
which serves as the only entrance point to a mountainous continent, Ruri
Island is in a strategic location, and is thus a place of great power
and wealth.




The island is ruled governed by Count Arganon. Different from the
mainland nobles, Arganon appears to have great ambitions.




Last Story's... err, story... will apparently focus on this island, and
the prosperous Ruri City within. The island is set to undergo some
great change.






In
the few pieces of art that we've obtained, you might take note of Ruri
Island's bright, natural colors. This is apparently one of the main
points of the game's visual style. The producer says that they're
trying to minimize the game's science fiction elements.




Gameplay and story specifics will have to wait, but this update is much
better than the occasional vague Sakaguchi blog post about Legos. Enjoy
the first artwork for The Last Story until Nintendo provides a second
update.
