The Last Story Limited Edition

Hironobu Sakaguchi's love letter to classic RPGs deserved a proper collector's treatment, and it got one. The Last Story Limited Edition on Wii wraps one of the console's finest JRPGs in an exclusive steelbook with extras that feel deliberately restrained in all the right ways.

The steelbook is clean and elegant, the kind of case that communicates "serious RPG" without screaming about it. The soundtrack sample CD delivers 7 tracks from Nobuo Uematsu's score, and if that name doesn't make your ears perk up, we need to talk about your Final Fantasy credentials. Labeled as part of the "Elements of Last Story," both the CD and the mini artbook feel like companion pieces to a larger creative vision rather than throwaway pack-ins.

As one of the three Operation Rainfall titles that Western fans literally campaigned to get localized, The Last Story carries a history that few Wii games can match. The Limited Edition captures that moment when the community proved demand existed for mature RPGs on Nintendo's platform. Uematsu's involvement alone elevates the soundtrack CD into something you'll want to display face-out, and the artbook, while compact, showcases character and world designs from a team that clearly poured everything into this project. This is Wii collecting at its most purposeful.
