Product Description
Last Rebellion PS3
Amazon.com Product Description
Last Rebellion is a turn-based role-playing game (RPG) that blends stirring storytelling with an engaging and addictive battle system. A PlayStation 3 exclusive, it features two main characters, Nine and Aisha, who although they work together as a team in battle, can each be played separately. Features include a unique battle system that allows for tagging of enemies, ensuring focused and efficient attacks and turn flow, as well as gorgeous watercolor-like character art and event scenes. Story
Junovald is a world governed by the power and the will of two gods: Meiktilia, who presides over the death of all life and destruction of all things; and Formival, who presides over the birth of all life and the creation of all things. Meiktilia has been said to bless two types of people with special gifts, Blades who have ultimate and supernatural skill needed to destroy the physical structure of things and Sealers who use magical abilities to destroy the metaphysical structure of things. Conversely, the god Formival's remarkable power allows all things, once dead, to revive. Under his influence the original souls of creatures facing death escape their bodies, which are in turn controlled by a fragment of Formival's soul. Imbued with a divine but malignant spark, these beings, known as Belzeds, become monsters, growing stronger if not checked. Only the destruction of their physical and metaphysical selves, requiring the power of both a Blade and a Sealer, can truly destroy them. Due to a protracted civil war, the Kingdom of Lorvin has become infested with Belzeds. Knowing the weakness of the Belzed's duality, the king of Lorvin, Arzelide, has summoned Nine Asfel, the most powerful of Blades and Aisha Romandine, a beautiful but frighteningly powerful Sealer, to make a final stand. But they must work together if Lorvin is to survive. Merge the destructive powers of the Blade and the Sealer in Last Rebellion.

Last Rebellion is a single player, turn-based RPG. Centered around the elimination of the physical and metaphysical components that make up the Belzed threat, the game's battle system allows the player to control the team of Nine and Aisha, and in fact toggle between the two. A turn consists of actions by both characters. Because each has specific strengths, and specific enemies are more susceptible to attacks in certain orders, players decide which character of their duo strikes first. In dealing with enemies the player uses a combination of sword strokes and magic, with attacks being initiated and maintained across multiple turns using what is referred to as the "Attack and Stamp" method. As a specific body part(s) of an enemy(s) is engaged with sword strokes, symbols known as "Stamps" appear over that area. Initiating attacks on body parts uses chain points, which are provided in limited numbers to the player. Stamps serve as a homing beacon for further magic attacks, which can thereafter be unleashed on multiple stamped spots simultaneously. Each enemy type is susceptible to attacks made in certain orders. Chain points can be budgeted by memorization of these attack orders and the various weak spots of enemies. Bingo and combo points are rewarded for targeting weak spots in the right order, and doing so in consecutive attacks respectively. Once physically defeated magic points can be extracted from Belzed enemies, with players also building into their turn a sealing attack by Aisha to eliminate the Belzed's regeneration ability. If this is not done Belzeds will revive, stronger than ever. Key Game Features - A PlayStation 3 exclusive, featuring classic turn-based RPG action.

 Not for everyone. Very Dissappointed from NIS. July 15, 2010

I finished the game probably under 20 hours clearing everything and all the trophies. I played through all the Atelier series and the Mana Khemia series and those were one of my favorites from NIS. Those usually took at least 40 hours to beat and had a lot of depth.
Like other NIS games I wasn't surprise by the graphics as being very Playstation 2ish since that's how a lot of their games are. Also there are no animated cut scenes like of their games, but character designs in this game were very nice! I liked the drawings a lot.
One of my biggest disappointment was that this release had no Japanese voices. To me the English voices were pretty bad and I kept skipping the voices and just read the text most of the time. For the amount of space they have on a blu-ray disc they should have at least given us Japanese voices as one of the choices.
The story is very short about 20 hours of game play if you follow the guide to correctly attack each monster, game will probably take longer if you tried to learn the correct order of every monster yourself. It didn't really give the story much to understand about all the characters which means there were really no character development at all in the game. Throughout the story you actually learn about Nine's younger brother Alfred instead of the Nina and Aisha. I was wondering to myself what were the Nine and Aisha's past like and they didn't really go into much depth on it. The story was pretty straight forward where you just followed and there are no side quests to do.
The combat system is where The Last Rebellion shines. The combat system was very fun and very unique. Since you control Nine and Aisha as 1 entity you can double your attacks on each monster. Every monster has a different body parts and you are to attack them in different orders in order to get the correct order to gain the most bonuses and damage. Without a guide for bigger monsters with 10 bodies parts will probably take you a while since it's blind luck to get the parts correct. Of course the game mechanics help you save the order if you correctly attack each part so you can modify the order until you get the right order, but this is also one of the downfalls of this game. You have an amount of Chain points(CP) which allows you attack as many parts as points you have. You are limited in the beginning and as I was playing I wasn't getting the parts correctly and your CP doesn't replenish as fast as you attack the monsters, so it becomes hard if you don't get it the first time around. This lead me to using a guide to clear through monsters.
Another cool thing about the combat system is that in order to use offensive spell on monsters, you have to stamp the parts by attacking the parts physically. The more parts you stamp the more parts your spell will attack, but I think later on you can get an item that allows you to cast spells on them even without stamping, but I didn't bother using it since I was following the guide to speed up the game. Offensive spells was pretty useless to me since I hit like 5 to 10 times harder physically than any spell I can cast even when they were maxed out. There are too many spells in this game so more than half of them I didn't bother using at all and some where only used for like 1 or 2 area. Also spells can be upgraded or degraded. You receive something called Aria paper after boss fights which allows you to upgrade spells up to level 5 and allows you to use the spells level 1 through 5, but if you don't need the spell anymore you can degrade the spell back to level one getting back your aria paper to put into a different spell. Also spells can be interchanged to who you want to cast the spell. You can change up the spells to have Nine cast them or Aisha, so spells are not limited to just one character.
Overall: The Last Rebellion was an okay game, I enjoyed it since the combat system was fun and unique, but the game was extremely easy for me(since I was following the monster guide). I would not recommend playing this game without a guide unless you plan to spend hours finding out the correct order for each monster. I usually beat the game first without a guide and then use a guide to help me complete the things I can't find myself, but this game made me use a guide right away because of how boring it was to try to find the order to attack each monster under limited movement. Since I wanted to complete the enemy database, I find myself looking for certain monsters at certain areas and that also consumed some of my time which kinda pissed me off while I was playing. I kept running around in circles until I finally found one.
Unless you plan to play this with a guide, this game will be very boring for you. The combat system was very fun and unique, but with the amount of limited movements it really takes out the fun of this game. I found myself casting chain points recovery spell after every fight because you never know when you will find to fight a 5 monster group with each monster having at least body parts. I got this game for under $20 and really think you shouldn't pay more for this game. As much as I like NIS JRPGs. This game was a pretty big disappointment for me and was kinda glad the game ended so quickly. I couldn't stand looking for some monsters that just won't show up and the horrible English voices that I kept skipping which this game almost like playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner where there are no voices at all.
I'm looking forward to play Atelier Rorona when it comes out and Trinity Universe when I get it! Enjoy!
great game May 10, 2010

so i went out on the limb and decided to pick this game up. not knowing much about it, but it looked like a decent game and for 40 bucks i couldnt go wrong. so i went home popped the game and had a lot of fun. th combat system is nice. you play as two different people who use the same hp, mp, and cp gages. you cant switch back and forth when you running around because when you running around with one you hp gradually goes up and the other one the mp is going up. during the battle you get to attack with both of them. i dont want to tell you how they got there (maybe i spoiler but not a big one )but they share the same soul somehow and thats why you can swich between each one.(spoiler end) what i like about this game is figuring out what to attack on the enemies. each enemy has a bunch of different body parts at whitch you want to attack in a specific order. if you attack them in a specific order you can get a BINGO and even a COMBO. and as long as you stay in the same area it saves what body parts you got right so once you have one down there is not need to remember. if you leave an area and come back then you have to do it all over again. so try to remember the order but its not that hard to figure out either. i know it sounds complicated but the combat system is simple and fun. if you have doughts about this game atleast rent it. it doesnt look like this rpg gets what it deserves. thanks for readin.
 Disappointing March 14, 2010

I am a fan of turn based RPGs, and I was really looking forward to this game. Unfortunately, the quality of this game is poor. First of all, the graphics look like an average PS2 game. Second of all, there is no animation whatsoever, not even during character dialogs.
The music is subpar; nothing remarkable here. The story is not rich or compelling in the least. The gameplay is turn based. However, it really plays like a number puzzle minigame, trying to figure out what sequence of numbers will yield you the most damage on any given enemy. There are items and other RPG features in the game, but the package has very little that is redeeming.
 Solid JRPG But Definately Not For Everyone March 11, 2010

If you're a fan of NIS games then you already know what you'll be getting from this game: convoluted battle and growth systems, average (to put it nicely) graphics but unique artistic style and a narrative that only anime fans will get any enjoyment out of. The game stars two characters: Nine, a sword wielding knight who focuses on physical damage and Aisha, a mage who, predictably, specializes in spells. To be sure there are some positives that make this a worthwhile game. The battle system, while somewhat complicated at first, is rewarding once the right combos for an enemy are discovered and saved. Essentially each enemy body part is listed as a potenital target and it's up to the player to hit them in the right order to trigger "bingos" and combos. Hitting the right body parts will "tatoo" that monster and make it ripe to be hit for extra spell damage. Thankfully the game allows you to save discovered combos as templates for later use, negating the need to memorize combos for a given enemy. It's worth mentioning that the game has a fun strategic wrinkle to it in the form of switching between Nine and Aisha mid-battle. Deciding who to attack with first in order to finish the battle as quick as possible is definitely a strength of the combat system as it leads you to try out different tactics even during routine level grinding battles (you'll be doing plenty of that). As far as I'm concerned any game that can make grind battles even remotely interesting isn't all that bad. If you can make it past the cliche ridden narrative (something about two warring gods and Nine wanting revenge for his murdered father), PS2-era graphics, and the truly laughable voice acting then Last Rebellion can be an enjoyable game.
 Does not bore you at all. This is JRPG! March 6, 2010

This game gets the job done, a valiant effort and a great exclusive. Nice battles, music, graphics, etc. Get this game so we can have more JRPG's localized.
