The Last Remnant |OT| of DON'T LISTEN TO REVIEWERS!
- Thread starter RevenantKioku
- Start date
Besides the Rubber Sol Remnent found in Dumoor what other "Unbound Remenents" can you use that Marshall stone tablet on? I've been looking for more rememnent to bind. I kind of wish the developer added secret rememnets in the game so of like pokemon so you search and bind secreat rare remnents.Quazar said:
Also how do you get that secreat achievement with Duke of Ghor and the 6 bases???
So you do agree that you need a guide for the sidequests. For that reason I suggested a guide.Tabris said:
You also won't know about some of the achievements if you don't look them up.
EDIT: PC version news: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172518
Apparently there is no restriction for leaders anymore and the battle animations can be sped up. Raising the limit instead of getting rid of it would've made more sense in my opinion. I don't think anybody would use generic soldiers anymore and the game may become a tad easy.

There is one at the end of Blackdale, one in the ivory peaks, one that you can only unlock if you do a quest with Rhagoh and another one that you should not bind in Darklen forest because it is part of a quest.PusherT said:
To get one of the secret achievements you have to do all the quests in the game which includes the one that the Duke of Ghor gives. To get his quest you have to talk to him in between the base battles.
Rare monsters are so irritating. I must have run the Ivory Peaks a million times and can spawn every other monster but the one needed for the guild quest and don't get me started on ones where you have to spend 10-15 minutes walking through the dungeon only to find out it didn't spawn and then have to spend another 10 minutes to get out.
Overall I am loving this game.

Had the game since launch (damn you Amazon!), just started playing it.
Quick question, and I apologize if this is elsewhere in the thread (OP hasn't been updated in a long while it seems), but how much does installing the game improve the performance? I can't really tell if I like the gameplay much at this point, and slowdowns really are just mild annoyances, but I think I'd enjoy the experience more if it was a bit smoother overall.
Also, like I said I'm not too sure about the gameplay yet, but do the first few hours give a general idea of how the battle system works throughout the game as a whole? Feels like they were going for a rather innovative system but had to settle for simplicity in the end. I dunno. Don't shoot me :lol .

Come to the dark side and try it now
A friend just gave me the game for free, he didn't like the game and decided to give it to me as an early birthday present. I haven't really had time for very many games lately but I'm planning on starting an RPG. It's between Tales of Vesperia (Started but never finished), The Last Remnant, or waiting till next month for Star Ocean 4.

My friend got his 1000/1000 after 150 hours of playing. He said he wouldn't spend that many hours on the game if he doesn't love it that much.

The loading time is cut considerably, and everyone in this thread recommends installing the game.

I think I found out something neat. During a Loop Chance with Mr.Diggs, I think if you keep pressing the A button it increases/guarantees it working. Because previously it rarely worked but so far like 4 times in a row it's been working. It could also be a big fluke heh.

I finally beat the Fallen at BR 89. The soldiers weapon upgrade at around BR 86-87 is what pushed me over the edge damage wise. I have serious doubts about being able to beat it before that upgrade (I could get him flashing though), especially if you didn't grind before you got to the point in the game where you can fight it.
I used 4 units: 1st 5400 2nd 3500 3rd 3200 and 4th 4400. It was a really tough fight though and I ended up with only two of my unions left and Wyngale getting the final hit during the last round.
Anyway, AC here I come. Hopefully I will have a high enough hp total if fore my unions if I just use two or three unions.

I was just doing the "Love will rise again" sidequest, and David went straight to learning Blackout II :lol, I've never him see even do the first one. Was a nice surprise though.
With Gae Bolg and Blackout, David is turning to be one of my favourite leaders. Also the Yama leader I was talking about earlier is called Gaou, that guy is a crazy hard hitter.

I thought you had bigger chances if you press A when he flashes more. Well I will try that later. :lol
I'm probably near the end of the 1 disc, after beginning a new game cuz I was overleveling like mad, and was getting kicked pretty bad in some quest. :lol
Now I'm doing more quest.

David is up to Blackout III for me and I just started the 2nd disc. There was this one mission with a room of 30 respawning monsters. I would link up like 10 and start a fight. Almost everytime, I'd get David to use Blackout or Gae Bolg within the first 2 turns. Total destruction.
I'm really wondering about Rush's progression - I was leveling mystic arts for him when I noticed his combat arts weren't progressing, and he learned a bunch of useful stuff pretty quickly - but I really started to wonder if I'm gimping my progression like this
Is there really any limit to what and how many things Rush can learn?
Oh - as a sidenote, Base 1 down at BR63 - that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be with Gae Bolg and Blackout both coming up, lol.

Certain ability groups can only be gained after doing certain side quests. Otherwise no.desverger said:I'm really wondering about Rush's progression - I was leveling mystic arts for him when I noticed his combat arts weren't progressing, and he learned a bunch of useful stuff pretty quickly - but I really started to wonder if I'm gimping my progression like this

On disc 2 right now, now I'm 49, but was 45 when I beat
, 2 tries just one union killed, and
, suprisingly easy, fucking Caedmon 2 quest,give me some boost on my BR, and even worst they were a bunch of weaklings, well another mental note to my 2nd playthrough, get Caedmon earlier, beacause of that and because...he's fucking cool! He and Allan are probably 2 of the most cooler character designs I saw in a JRPG in some time.
But, Rush progression is making me feel angry, there was a time I could use potions, but now, not every fucking chance, I don't know what changed or what I did, well potions it's not the only thing he stop using or almost, he only use remedies to cure and not herbs at all.
I don't know, rules in this game are so obscure and random. :lol
And, the "aprentice" side quest is fucking annoying. 18 rare monsters? give me a fucking break!. :lol

I think I'm about done with this game. I reached the point where the game feels like a chore instead of being fun.
So I just got to the
. Liking this game so far, the battles can be really tough if you don't think out your unions and how you approach certain battles etc. Interrupted this to finish Valkyria, so I haven't played it in a while.
Question for those of you who have COMPLETED the game (major spoiler):
Catacombs
Question for those of you who have COMPLETED the game (major spoiler):
How much longer until *****Emma dies? I accidentally spoiled this for myself, but I then also read that you should NOT use her because of this.

Just bought this, going to install it for better performance. Hopefully it doesn't dissappoint me to much, too much of a Square-Enix tool to pass up and not get it. :lol
man that Dominator sure did hand me my ass on a silver platter. Stupid system wouldn't allow me to give Rush the stay back command. Grrr! The only time it popped up was for my squad of 1(Blocter), that's the one I wanted to attack! While my other 2 stayed back so they wouldn't get cursed. Oh well, I'm probably to early in to take him on anyway. I just got the 3 unit/4 leader max upgrade.

Check your morale bar in the first turn, if it's equal means your are more or less at the same level, if your morale it's almost zero, means he's stronger.
Amon37 said:
Yeah, I just saw it, and even better, they seem to respawn, still took me a while.
Yeah, it can't be stressed enough how much people exaggerate with avoiding monsters, avoiding to link them and all that crap. I did perfectly alright, although I ignored everything people advised you to do; I linked monsters all the time (at least in the beginning) and had no problem whatsoever with Gates of Hell or the bases.Aaron said:
I also had Emma in my party all the time until she died.
After the bases I began to grind to beat
The Fallen and other secret bosses

Which one is
again? Was that the
?
the fallen
white-ish gates of hell in the sewers
No,
. I didn't beat the one you mentioned btw, since I wanted to replay it again to get
and beat the remaining secret bosses, because I missed a few quests anyway.
The Fallen is the boss from the quest you can do after you beat Irina in Darken Forest, it's the quest from Wyngale in Baaluk Pub
Absolute Conqueror at the end

Oh, ok. Looked it up on youtube, and it indeed wasnt the one i was thinking of.Krelian said:
I do recall fighting it though. Didn't seem too bad. Not really any worse than some of the
idols
Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I saw countless threads on Gamefaqs asking how to beat that boss (I didn't read them, though), apparently the biggest problem is beating himFistwell said:
in 10 rounds, because after that he kills everyone
Absolute Conqueror
I didn't try
the idols
I like how the people are telling you not to spend an extra 5 hours to avoid battles and then grind stats from higher level enemies and then say they wanted to finish the game quickly so they could play AGAIN (i.e. 40 more hours).
It's just easier to do what I'm saying so you can get 1000/1000 achievements right off the bat instead of playing a second time.

It really isn't all that enticing when the method you are advocating sounds boring as hell and pretty much makes the whole game trivial. This is especially true if you don't really care about the achievements and just want a challenge from the game.Tabris said:
I am at BR 101 now and I am pretty sure by the time I get to 111 I will be able to beat the AC.
How is my method boring? Infact it's the complete opposite as it makes 90% of the game extremely challenging and you don't have to do a bunch of huge battles against weak monsters. What's better, 1 battle against 8 enemies or 1 battle against 1-2 enemies that takes the same amount of time but you get more stats? Personally I find the most exciting element to this game the boss battles and not a huge linked battle. I guarantee you going through my system you'll play less as you'll skip all battles except for bosses until you're ready to grind at Blackdale, First Path or Ancient Ruins and even then can be pretty quick once you get into a groove. I've only spent maybe 2-3 hours at ancient ruins just grinding (I spent more time exploring it and beating the bosses actually) and I did that while on msn chat.
lol let me know. Again your BR doesn't matter. What's your HP at?

My attacking unit is around 7400, Healing Union is 5400 and my third union is 5300. I started grinding around 81 and am close to maxing out my 6 leaders stats. Hp is coming along pretty well too.Tabris said:
I already fought the AC at BR92 and took off around half of his HP before he finally wiped me out. Honestly I think people exaggerate the difficulty of that battle.
I actually enjoy playing the game though. I never went out of my way to fight everything I come across, but I think the battle system is fun.
If you're talking about me, I said that I did perfectly alright without grinding. I only grinded, because it is what I do in every RPG to beat optional bosses. And I finished it quickly because I missed some sidequests the first time. My point is that it's not necessary to play counter-intuitively only because everyone says it is.Tabris said:
To get those Achievements the first time it may be easier, but not required. And my problem was missing sidequests, as I said above, and not bosses I couldn't beat. I don't know how I'll play the game this time, but I plan on getting the final Achievements too.

The first page people are going on about this being a sort of "next-gen" SaGa. What's the basis for that? It's $37 on Amazon right now, I didn't want another RPG to play but I've got SaGa fever at the moment so I could be easily swayed.
Rummy Bunnz
Member
I've played a bunch of SaGa lately too and I can see where the comparisons come from. The game's pretty Kawazu. But...I dunno, I can't think of a good way to put it. So maybe I shouldn't even be posting. But for every similarity there's a substantial difference, I'd say. It may just be me responding to the different art style but TLR inspired a whole different kind of confusion than SaGa did. Much more "huh?" than "huh!"Princess Skittles said:
And I dunno if you have a PC that can play it but I'd hold off for that version. Or wait and see if they patch the 360 version. The battle animations are LONG and if that sorta thing bothers you the PC version's the way to go.

The battle system has some similarities to that of other saga games. You level up and learn arts in typical saga fashion.

^Pretty much what Tabris said, the main story is as average as they get. The real meat of the game is in the side quests rather than the main story.
