The Last Remnant stands as an interesting game, even among fellow RPG games because of its interesting... combat and character progression systems.
What may seem to be taunting and perhaps nonsensical at first hides a wonderful tactical experience that actually discourages grinding and instead encourages the usage of strategy and party planning.

Other stuff worth mentioning includes the superb OST, from its varied city and landscape themes to several battle themes, it's one of the best OSTs I have ever heard and not many can touch it!

If you like spending time managing and planning characters, crafting your own challenges or just having battles where your strategy more than counts, The Last Remnant is my definite pick.

Of course, certain mods by certain someone will make this game even better while eliminating a key flaw too~
