The Last Remnant is perhaps doomed to be one of Square Enix's forgotten classics. It never earned itself a sequel, and for years languished on a platform that people never really bought into for JRPGs. Perhaps with the PlayStation 4 release of the Remaster, the game has a chance of finding a new audience, though, because it weaves a ripping yarn, and has a beautifully detailed combat system that is endlessly rewarding to tinker with.
The Last Remnant Remastered looks exactly the same as the original game, with some graphical improvement.

The Last Remnant Remastered is certainly an improvement over the original release and should be enjoyable if you're looking for a tough JRPG, however, the story and accompanying game system may leave you disappointed.
The Last Remnant has a less traditional approach to combat, having you command unions of allies to take down enemy forces with strategy, luck, and patience.
While The Last Remnant still feels like an aged game, the quality-of-life improvements Square-Enix gifted it during the PC release is right at home on the console release.
WORTH CONSIDERING - The Last Remnant Remastered is available now for the Nintendo Switch. It’s not a particularly good game but there are a few good ideas throughout, albeit far and few between. With so many other great JRPGs available on the Switch it’s hard to justify why anyone would want this game over any others.
Videogames being remastered of past generations has been something normal in the industry of videogames, with titles that were great in their time and that the companies want that the new gamers give a proven one of those great adventures.

Although the story does suffer several pitfalls and the game systems can be confusing at times, it still comes together to make The Last Remnant Remastered quite a fun JRPG that fans of the genre should enjoy.
The Last Remnant Remastered sits proudly towards my top of ‘great remasters of this generation’ list. As well as porting the game into the new engine, the developers have also increased the resolution, texture quality, visual effects, and framerate over the Xbox 360 version. If you’re coming from the PC though, the differences will be minor but still welcome as the game has never been on the PlayStation before. The combat mechanics are unusual and unique so I would advise you watch the video I have in my review beforehand to see if it’s something you like the look of. Overall, The Last Remnant Remastered is a great game to add to your collection, whether your nostalgic for the original game or just want to try out a Western RPG of yesteryear.
