History VideoGame / TheLastRemnant

The UsefulNotes/XBox360 version was heavily criticized for having ''massive'' amounts of slowdown during battles, as well as many other graphical misgivings. This was blamed on a few things: the release was rushed to meet deadlines, and it was the first time Square Enix had used the Unreal Engine (which carries a few graphical quirks of its own) to make a game. Installing the game to the hard drive does fix the majority of the slowdown, but not perfectly.

** Cannot beat [[NintendoHard the really hard]] BonusBoss The Fallen ''before'' entering Underwalt? The quest is lost and you can say goodbye to your HundredPercentCompletion.

* HotLibrarian: Possibly [[spoiler:Haruko]], once you finish her quest and she becomes available as party member, complete with a BladeOnAStick.

* BladeOnAStick: The Schiavona, after you've used the tablet on it. A bunch of others that you can give to Rush.

* BonusBoss: As downloadable content, or unlocked from Guild Tasks.

''The Last Remnant'' is a RPG for the Xbox 360, PC, [=PS4=], and Switch developed by Creator/SquareEnix.

In September 2018, Square Enix ceased sales for the PC version. An HD Remaster for the Playstation 4, containing the content previously exclusive to the PC version along with updated graphics, was released on December 6, 2018. A Switch port of the HD Remaster was released on June 10, 2019.

* ChallengingTheChief: Leucetius attempts during his [[CharacterDevelopment bonus talks.]] He doesn't believe that [[TheHero Rush]] should be leading the party against The Conqueror, so he goes to [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority persuade]] others on the matter. [[BoisterousBruiser Blocter]] overwhelms him, claims that he WouldntHitAGirl after losing to [[LadyOfWar Emmy]], and receives an [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments intimidating glare]] from [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething David]]. He gets it in the end.

* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Like the Cerulean Rain example above. There's also the [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] variation with Hawkarang.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: You have the Sykes, David and the Four Generals, 27 other Unique Leaders of which one has 7 variations, [[spoiler:and The Seven]]. And that's not counting the Generic Leaders and Soldiers. Altogether, there's about 300 characters to hire. Take. Your. Pick.

** In spades. Ranges from, for example, the fairly regular Emma, Kate and Hannah through to the slightly-odd Rush and Hinnah and anywhere past. Three of Athlum's generals are named Torgal, Blocter and Pagus- and are lead by the mighty Marquis... David. (Although it is pronounced [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY 'Dah-Veed']], which is the way it is pronounced in Spanish, French and Russian; as a side note, Marina and Irina are Russian names as well).

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: David is pronounced Dah-VEED (as pronounced in Spanish and other romance languages, by the way).

* StandardStatusEffects: Poison, Paralyzed, Silence, Curse... Enthralled?!

* {{Stripperific}}: Roeas. Also, Hannah and Hinnah.

** There's also the [[LampshadeHanging Rain Of Blades]] attack from The Fallen and its pallet swaps, which uses a variety of different swords but is otherwise the same animation.

* VictoryPose

* YourHeadAsplode: Duke Hermien's final fate.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Averted whole-heartedly by the Conqueror. Doing more sidequests can make him stronger in the final boss fight. [[OrcusOnHisThrone He's not spending all that time sitting on his butt.]]

* {{Sidequest}}: The '''majority''' of the game's content. The main story can be completed in a few hours otherwise.

* StandardFantasySetting: Mixed up a bit. Nobody will confuse the four-armed long-eared furry guys for elves or the giant talking fish-people for dwarves, though they do fall into the FiveRaces trope.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Emmy, almost inappropriately so since everywhere else but her head is armored. Many other female units also fit the description.

* AerithAndBob: In spades. Ranges from, for example, the fairly regular Emma, Kate and Hannah through to the slightly-odd Rush and Hinnah and anywhere past. Three of Athlum's generals are named Torgal, Blocter and Pagus- and are lead by the mighty Marquis... David. (Although it is pronounced [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY 'Dah-Veed']], which is the way it is pronounced in Spanish, French and Russian; as a side note, Marina and Irina are Russian names as well).

* SpiritualSequel: The game is pretty much ''Romancing [=SaGa=] 4'', renamed so that westerners would buy it.
** Hell, it was even given the working title ''[=SaGa=] Frontier 3,'' and contains many elements and names from previous ''VideoGame/{{SaGa|RPG}}'' games. Several of them as the Remnants themselves. Have fun looking for them!

* StormOfBlades: The 'Cerulean Rain' Weapon Art, definitely. Very briefly results in a FieldOfBlades.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Makes bees and beetles fly and roll in a whole new fashion.

* EvilAlbino: The Seven squad has a few. Also, you may encounter hostile Albic Qsiti in Catacombs later on.

** It should also be mentioned that many of the unusual names are found on characters that aren't human, which could be a [[JustifiedTrope justification]].
