Wii Game Review and Overview
The Last Story arrives on the Nintendo Wii with the sort of confidence you usually see in RPGs that already know they are going to be adored. Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi and backed by a lush soundtrack from Nobuo Uematsu, this adventure sets its tone early with a blend of emotional storytelling, clever combat mechanics, and a cast of characters who feel like they have stepped right out of a high quality fantasy novel. It is a game that understands the power of charm and then uses it in almost every scene.
You play as Zael, a mercenary with big dreams and an even bigger talent for finding trouble. The story mixes political drama, personal stakes, and warm character banter in a way that gives the whole experience a unique rhythm. Mistwalker’s approach to world building keeps the action anchored to Lazulis Island, which results in a surprisingly intimate RPG that values character moments as much as battlefield heroics. It feels refreshingly focused compared to sprawling genre peers.
Combat is where the game really shows off its personality. You get a mix of real time action, tactical elements, cover based positioning, and special skills that reward creative thinking. The Gathering mechanic, which lets Zael attract enemy attention, adds a neat strategic layer. It lets you set up teammates for big hits or rescue them from tricky situations. It is not just flashy, it is clever, and it makes every battle feel like it belongs in a team based fantasy movie.
There is also a strong sense of camaraderie as your party grows. Characters talk mid battle, joke during quests, and build relationships that feel natural instead of forced. The quieter moments on Lazulis Island help the story breathe, while boss fights bring enough spectacle to remind you that this is still a high stakes adventure. The balance between humor, drama, and action is one of the game’s greatest strengths.
If you are looking to sharpen your skills in this beautifully crafted RPG, you are in the right place. Below, you will find a variety of hints, tips, and cheats for The Last Story that can help you tackle tougher encounters, build stronger strategies, and gain an edge as you explore Lazulis Island. Whether you are a first time player or revisiting an old favorite, there is plenty here to help elevate your playthrough.

The Last Story Hints & Tips
Crossbow hint:
To raise your crossbow damage, go to the “windy alley” and wait for the wind to blow. Five arrow bonus items will blow by the first, second, and third and will all give you 0.1 The fourth will give you 0.2 and the fifth will give you 0.5 for a total of 1. Wait for the wind to blow again and further increase your crossbow damage.
