Rather than focusing on the gameplay, this commercial instead emphasizes the reactions of the children and the father. Check it out below…

The Last Story details
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
– Shoot bananas at townfolk
– Can also shoot banana peels at others online
– Banana peels tie into events
– Group of nobles will be drinking tea in the plaza and looking at the commoners, waitress will say, “It would be nice if they’d slip on a banana”
– Carry out the waitress’s wish to receive a reward
– People will also fall if you scatter lemons on the ground
– Sakaguchi: “If the game is received poorly, perhaps my sense does not match with the times. In that case, while I won’t go as far as ‘I won’t ever make games again,’ it would be meaningless to make games for a while. With that feeling, I’ve given my all.”
– Game’s theme is “Nakama,” or “Companion”
– While developing the game, Sakaguchi tried to push the theme and hopes that people end up feeling “It was nice to have an adventure with those companions”
– Sakaguchi believes the game does somewhat resemble a single player MMORPG, as you go through a 30-40 hour quest with six friends who speak while you play
– Game contains some elements which resemble things that might be in an MMORPG
– Sakaguchi interested in playing World of Warcraft after The Last Story is finished
– Sakaguchi believes there may not be a game with the equivalent level of conversation compared to what you’ll find in The Last Story’s conversation system
– Sakaguchi also thinks the dialogue gives the game a “live” feeling
– Story-related conversation towards the end of the game
– Sakaguchi had no idea Iwata would show up during the presentation
– Nintendo came up with the idea for a conference
– Sakaguchi was surprised by the idea
