The last time I was talking about a Square Enix non-Final Fantasy RPG, it was Infinite Undiscovery. The game was bloody rubbish, too. With the taste of that game still bitter in my mouth, its publisher has a chance to redeem itself tomorrow with The Last Remnant, a game which our very own Dale North played at TGS and was quite satisfied with. 

Whether or not the game manages to impress us all remains to be seen, but while we wait to find out, here are some videos. The first one, seen above, demonstrates the battle system. As you can see, the combat rather confusing to look at. I'm sure it's a lot simpler once you play it.

As for the second video contained after the jump ... well, what can I say? It may very well be the most exciting video ever posted on Destructoid. Words can't really describe it, so just go right ahead and play it. Make sure you're sat down though, because you might be knocked to the ground by a shockwave of pure awesome.

I pre-ordered this game when it was 40 bucks on Amazon. It just HAS to be good, right?

Seems like a final fantasy...except when you give a command, 4 people do it instead of just one person...hmm...maybe that's the holy grail of final fantasy's...

*waits for reviews, expects to be disappointed*

Final Fantasy XII + Dynasty Warriors slowdown = The Last Remnant

I do not know why, but I kinda want this game to be good.
Square-enix needs to make a Dynasty Warriors rpg. I am jonesing for a Lu Bu boss fight.

nobody does hype like Mr.Sterling.

Mr. Sterling..hyping the masses for what's rubbish half of the time since whatever year Mr. Sterling was born.

Jesus Christ did Jim "GOD DAMN TROLLS" Sterling not tell you fucking trolls to get some cock-mongering 46x46 shaft-sucking mother-whoring AVATARS?

Wow, it's like 3d world runner minus the "being in any way remarkable."

looks really good, i'm loving how the new combat seems far more deeper and technical.. my only problem is that battles seem to take a shit load of time. 3 minutes for just this one battle? this game is going to take awhile to finish i reckon

The fighting looks cool...my only wish is that the enemies didn't pop in and out of "Invisible World".

If I have to play one RPG this winter, and I can only see myself playing one, it'll be Valkyria Chronicles, though.

I think the "boy" part was the insult

The desire to blow off finishing Fallout 3 and go buy this game today is intense. Must...not...give in...

Is the battle system turned based? Also does anybody know if the camera shifts too fast? The reason I ask is I am getting this game for my dad and he hates RPGs that aren't turned based (for the most part) and he gets sick when the camera moves too fast.

I trust you guys the most, that's why I am asking :)

UGh...I really want this game to be good...but what the hell is with all the pop-up?

Also, which version are these videos from?

And a last thing, that's gotta be the worst I've sent the Unreal 3 perform.

I've preordered this from Amazon. I had high hopes for it, and I took a gamble. Hopefully it pays off.

The battle system looks fantastic to me. It seems like a real battlefield, with many things happening at once, instead of the classic RPG run up, hit monster, run back to line mode of battle.

I like the music in the 2nd vid. The rest I'm not too sure about.

Considering how long jRPGs tend to be and the amount of battles on the docket, I am not sure I can put up with those technical issues.
