‘Last Story’ sounds a lot like ‘Final Fantasy’, no? Pretty fitting title for the creator behind the most popular role-playing series. Now the boss for developer Mistwalker, Hironobu Sakaguchi has put forth two titles on Microsoft’s console with little success. First, Xbox gamers were treated with the lackluster Blue Dragon and then Lost Odyssey, an improvement, but not ‘Final Fantasy’ quality. However, it looks like Sakaguchi is returning to Nintendo’s platform in hopes of re-igniting his influence on the role-playing genre.
Currently dubbed ‘Last Story’, Mistwalker’s latest creation will be a colloaboration between Nintendo and Sakaguchi’s team. Let’s hope this legendary developer finds his footing on the Wii. The gaming world is certainly big enough for another JRPG that can hold its own and provide something refreshingly new.
