^Right now I think I'm on chapter 4 (whtever Savegery), mission 1 and I'm definately feeling your review for the game. RPGs and RTS are probably my 2 favorite genres, and I was skeptical at first at how this game would play out, but the team far exceeded my expectations.

This game is representative on how the DS is a system that really challenges the creativity of the developers, and allows them to provide a gaming experience you couldn't accomplish on traditional NES-derived systems. The use of storytelling in RTS format makes it a great RPG, and it feels alot like FFXII. The incorporation of FFXII's music was done flawlessly IMO, and it makes the game that much better.

Another cause for skepticism was that most FF fans mostly are wary of sequels, but again, it was pulled off perfectly and then some. I really look forward to seeing more of the returning cast, not to mention having Ba'Gamnan on my team for these missions is a delightful surprise.

I have to say, since being deemed the "Pre-eminent developer at Square Enix", Akitoshi Kawazu is 2 for 2 with XII and now this, and since I'm considering getting a ps3 soon, I'm really looking forward to the Last Remnant. This game is easy to pick up, yet it is able to remain challenging. I'll probably give another review after beating it, but I'm gonna take my time and not rush through it. So far, it's been great!
