The Last Story is an amazing game. Even though the story is a little on the predictable side, it is rather well told and the characters are an extremely fun and likable bunch. What really sets The Last Story apart from the crowd, though, is its engaging and varied gameplay. I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a JRPG before. The pacing of the game is great, and you're never made to feel like you're stranded anywhere or doing the same thing for too long. The battles don't feel stale and were actually quite addicting. Each boss require that you to do things a little differently to take it down. It is very much an action JRPG with a mesh of several different elements such as a stealth/cover system, first person shooting, an ability that allows the player to act as a tank, as well as a command mode that allows you to manage the actions of your party members(reminiscent of a turn-based battle system).
I was quite impressed by all the little details that were put into the game as it made the world of The Last Story feel more alive than the usual JRPG. Graphic-wise, the game is quite beautiful by Wii standards and, IMO, look more polished than most others on the same console. I'm not sure why some will compare it to Xenoblade and treat it like its Xenoblade's younger, not-as-cool brother because The Last Story is a very unique game and special in its own right. In fact, I personally found it more enjoyable than Xenoblade(which, story was nice but tedious gameplay/repetitive battles put me to sleep).
