Do You Remember: The Last Remnant?

[@Rc3651]

What, you've never heard of Gae Bolg, the legendary "Spear of Mortal Death", wielded by the warrior Cuchulainn? Come on buns, it's been in like every FF!

[@MrInuhanyou123]

And Lancer from Fate was based on Cu as well, and also Persona has Cu too

[@Rc3651]

There's even a Cuchulainn in FF12, but he's NOTHING like the Irish warrior of legend, haha

[@MrInuhanyou123]

Rc3651 What i meant to say was, FSN has a warrior who is literally cu, he's not the only lancer from legend

[@artorias-]

Damn you beat me to it haha

[@Rc3651]

MrInuhanyou123 I was just saying that it's funny that Cu is in FF12, the game that Buns spent a lot of the video talking about, haha

[@SuperButterBuns]

Probably a game most hardcore people know about but its an odd one that for sure. Fun fact, I had like 60+ hours in this game on the PC then I had to replace one of my drives and lost all my progress.....I burn. Ya ever lost a crazy amount of game progress? Share your pain with me

[@Andrew127100]

A long time ago a had a ps2 emulator and also had Kingdom hearts 2 final mix plus (english patch). I had over 110 hours on the game. Had defeated 8/13 data battles and beat terra. Until my dad wiped the pc and I lost everything. I feel your pain

[@HopeAcedia]

I lost all my LittleBigPlanet data at one point, but I think that may of just been because I switched over to another PS3 console, but regardless I still need to go back and do everything again, and that includes finding people that are 1 - half-decent at the game and 2 - want to actually go through all the boring challenges again so I can get every item in every level. And don't even get me STARTED on completing all the levels without dying. I'm lucky I'm interested in speedrunning the entire thing.

[@Stelldubs]

I lost my entire ff13 data when i was finally at grand pulse i still havent caught up

[@PoIarization101]

I once lost my save file for Journey and had to start all the way over. The dark times were among me then.

[@marxistharpy]

I lost my FF12 progress once when I turned the game off while it was still saving. It corrupted the whole save file and I had to start all over :(

[@lucielvillanueva2199]

the legendary weapon known as "gay bulge"

[@Vinimous]

I love how buns manages to balance her have great humor AND be really clear and informative it's just, reaaally great

[@merpins]

I always pronounced the gun "gae bulge"

[@mstrswrd]

I absolutely love The Last Remnant. I played the ever loving hell out of it. Also, from what I've read, it's actually basically just Romancing SaGa 4, but with a different name because that series has never really worked out in the west like it has in Japan. Like how FF XIII-3 was basically just Valkyrie Profile 3.

[@GoomerNotABoomer]

Just to screw with you years later you can get this for your phone in the app store

[@potatolemon9442]

Anyone remember ''Lost odyssey''on the xbox 360 it was a great JRPG developed by former square employees that had a final fantasy style combat system with it's own quirks and a bunch of likeable characters who were cursed to be immortal and had lost their memories so they needed not only recover their memories but also save the world in the progress and tying to the amnesia thing it even had short stories related to the characters in it you could read that were like actual books written by your favourite author of choice that each made you feel a different type of emotion from sadness to joy to hate. Kinda like the books in skyrim but a 1000000 times better.

[@awakenow7147]

I've been wanting to play Lost Odyssey for a very very long time. But alas, no Xbox 360...

[@lewisaino]

Erick Landon mentioned it.

[@yorshka6955]

I still can't believe that there is no remaster for it. I really loved it

[@basalisk593]

Erick Landon is AMAZING

[@Xedhadeaus]

The pc version auto saves after every battle. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH LOVE THAT MAKES ME FEEL!?

[@Bell_Matt]

Xedhadeaus loads?

[@mattandrews2594]

Until you do the Base fights and suddenly it's possible to literally get completely stuck because they're 2-stage fights and you can't escape after the first.

[@TheBattlesword]

Fun fact: this was the first Steam game I ever played. As in, the one I couldn’t play without first making an account after I bought it

[@danlei88]

I don't know who you are or why you are in my recommended videos, but I'm glad I found your channel. Very funny and informative stuff :)

[@jimmychongo3149]

Gae Bolg is a legendary spear from Celtic mythology and like Thor's hammer Mjolnir probably a good 75% of JRPG's and anime series name a weapon after it.

[@HyperFerret93]

I'm glad the director of this game went on to direct FFXVI. Hiroshi Takai's games always have well-directed cutscenes and great set pieces, I'm glad Square Enix continues to trust him with projects.

[@Vospader21]

Why do people keep shitting on FF12? That game was good.

[@igodreamer7096]

Haters gonna hate, man. And by the way, that game was amazing! xD (Vaan aside, of course =P)

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

It was a little different with how the party was controlled, but I liked. Also people like me who played the older games would have found Vaan out of place and unrelatable as we grew up, and the espers are useless. The only real problem I have with the game is certain super bosses like Zodiarc have the ability to take over combat when critical so your actions are constantly pending. If that found throughout the game, people would be justifiably ticked off.

[@agent-sz2qj]

it's one of the best games i've played in my life

[@seakhajiit]

I've hardly actually seen anyone who dislikes it, it's mostly people talking about how people disliked it

[@Doncornuto]

Sure, if you pretend that your character matters in any way. And my god, the plot.. political intrigue isn't exactly the genres forte.

[@Infernape7890]

The micromanaging in this game is something I adore. It also has four armed cat people, so that's cool.

[@thetoaster6413]

Of course I still remember The Last Remnant! One of the best games from Square I played and this game was released 10+ years ago. Though I do understand that casual players will have a tough time. Loved your review though!

[@HzHzder]

I love this ehm... series of yours, keep it up. I love to be reminded of games that could have been/should have been great but never were.

[@Kyman102]

Confession: When you said "The Last Remnant" I thought "Oh that game on the 360? Yeah, that was fun-" and realized only like a forty seconds in that actually what I was thinking about was "The Last *Odyssey*"

[@JeannieLove]

I LOVED The Last Remnant! Even though I literally could not beat the final boss because of linking too many groups of enemies together.

[@anatimefire]

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings final fantasy 12 does have a sequel it's called Final fantasy 12 revenant wings and was released on the DS. And if you want to be somewhat lenient on the definition of a prequel final fantasy 12 also had prequels in the forms of the tactics games.

[@nicholaskennedy6256]

I think XII is actually the prequel to Tactics as several species are extinct during the leon heart war.

[@mothcub]

I loved Revenant Wings!

[@cjpinto7]

Antlo Avina There was also a planned console sequel that never was.

[@josh-oo]

Final Fantasy XII is actually a prequel to the Final Fantasy Tactics games. The party thwarts the Occuria (the closest thing Ivalice has to gods, but they're actually just immensely powerful control freaks who have been controlling everything since forever, which means free will is a lie) in FFXII, which leads to a gradual decline of the state of the world, geological and political upheavals, and eventually causes Ivalice to regress to a medieval level, and gives the Lucavi (basically demons) an opportunity to create a plague which causes people to grow desparate and eventually dabble in dark magic, thereby summoning The Lucavi into the mortal world, setting the stage for FFT.

[@RandomRhyme]

Joshua Caine < promote this man!

[@kainhighwind2]

I like it. I've never beaten it, but it's a really fun jRPG that really nails the feeling of a massive army at war.

[@rikkuster]

The Last Remnant is one of those games that I keep telling myself I should play but once I finally have time to play a new game I forget about it, lol. Still, I have a friend who's played it and he seemed to enjoy it enough.

[@krum1985]

loved the last remnant, though i always got stuck on 1 particular fight that seemed waaaaaay to hard compared to the last fight. tried to grind it out, but always found a new shiny thing before i got done. Gae Bulg is a spear from Irish folklore btw (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A1e_Bulg), and many spears/lances from final fantasy games shares the name, though naming a gun after it seems quite odd indeed,

[@BobbyCorwen42]

While I agree with most of what was said (especially the scenario), combat isn't nearly as random as you made it out to be. Based on positioning, formation and teammates (yeah, lots of micro) there are various ways to make characters choose certain actions compared to others. What you didn't mention though, which is its strongest point, is its progression system that is simply amazing. It's incredibly hard to be overleveled, farming doesn't solve the issue, you just have to get good

[@VictorKaiser]

"Come on guys, let's kick some A!" Fun game. Sadly I never beat it - I kept getting distracted. Also its soundtrack is awesome as hell.

[@Krokodilius]

i played this game for about 3 hours on PC and couldn't figure out what to do or how to do it...especially the combat.

[@gamerwolfKO]

Had an itch to play this game, which led me down a KZbin rabbit hole on The Last Remnant, and here I am, 8 years late to a SuperButterBuns video. 10/10 accurate review on this only fun and incredibly frustrating game that I have yet to finish…

[@docilecatfish1370]

It's getting a remaster for the ps4 so maybe it's time to remember the last remnant.

[@jpfan1992]

Glad I have this game on steam!

[@StarFighter748]

yo what about lost odyssey dude. a grate JRPG made by sakaguchi that also flew a bit under the radar.

[@PointOfLightProds]

It's so good

[@kingmelly251]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyone else come to this video after the announcement of the remaster today? xD

[@dolebiscuit]

This is the first video I've seen of yours, and you are hilarious! You got a subscriber.

[@WinnieBlue]

You deserve so many more views for these videos Buns. Awesome quality :3

[@ShiningArmor]

Wow, I've never heard of your channel before but I'm now completely on board. This video had me rolling. Excellent job.

[@theredcoffee1019]

I thought she was going to talk about Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wing on the DS.

[@Wolfbark_plays]

I saw you playing this on steam i was like AAYEEEE awsome XD i remeber my brother playing this he loved it i wacthed him most of the time

[@Lightspeeds]

Had to look this up due to the remastered version coming out for Switch today.

[@tsunfish9443]

same that's exactly why I ended up here too

[@AnimeSmash37]

Still playing this game to dis day to DIS DAY!

[@alexanderomalley7053]

You are hilarious! I love your presentation and reviewing skills, you honestly made me laugh. Great stuff!

[@jester9215]

3:15 Fun fact that is a reference to the myth of the Irish hero Cuchulain it was the weapon he used to kill people instantly

[@t13131319]

Another square-enix game on xbox360 "Infinite Undiscovery" is better than this one in my personal thoughts. although the graphics are poor in modern standard, the battle system is still one of my favorite.

[@t13131319]

well... at least published by Square-Enix....

[@theelegantassassin1174]

Oh man, those combat scenes bring up memories of 'Activating Combat Mode' from you already know what. ;)

[@SilverKnightXx]

i have the 360 version and you were not lying about that slide show but i still like it overall

[@EternianX]

Miss Buns I just recently Got this game and boy are you so right! Them texture loadings....lmbo ^_^

[@SamAdamsDesigns]

I love ff 12 and 13 so I’m definitely gonna try this out on my switch! Thank you

[@HyouVizer]

RNG is right, i died during the tutorial fight........main character got killed with a critical.....really tutorial...really =___=

[@flamingodevelopment9501]

Got this on the 360 mainly because I saw the Square Enix logo, then the PC last year and the HD remaster for the ps4 recently Because I simply just love the game that much

[@snipereye2503]

OMG the humor! especially the character describing

[@sillyfudgemonkeys]

I really like that you're doing videos on obscure games~! :D It's helping me remember games (that I've at least one's that I've heard of and wanted to play) and/or telling me about new games that I didn't know about before. I was wondering, are you going to do a similar one on the game "Rule of Rose." It feels perfect for this "obscure game/"do you remember..." series" :D Anyways keep up the great work!

[@mrummgoat53]

I didn't remember this game was a thing until you started showing the game footage and I was like "Oh yeah that looks familiar, maybe I have played this once or twice"

[@theelike4302]

Just bought the remaster on Switch. Can't wait to jump back into this jem.

[@decusq]

I tried playing this game back in my 360 days as a rental and i'm glad it was a rental. This game just didn't do it for me but what really killed it for me was my favorite Momma knight character dies and her boring daughter comes in to take her place. Like she has barely any emotion her mom died it;s like "Oh mom died, can i take her place? Yipee! I'm a Main character now! "

[@tsunfish9443]

this is probably one of the funniest reviews I've ever seen and the fish people

[@TheVisualComposer]

You are incredibly funny. I enjoyed your content so much. Amazing. Thank you for all the good laughs so far. Looking forward to more of your videos

[@Dr.Moogle]

You actually have a lot of control over what you're party does and doesn't do...problem is the game doesn't tell you anything and it's all trial and error. If and once you figure out how to use it's systems it plays great...most will never get there though. The systems in play are so obtuse that certain endgame secret boss are unbeatable if you grinded too much...like wtf. Same with gimping your characters into horrible classes because you have no idea how they actually work.

[@Nelson-o4p]

Buns honestly i love your content so much its serous and with tons of comdey i love it

[@allg0odnamesaretaken]

does the game still have pop-in issues on the 360 if ran from a 7200rpm internal hdd ?

[@SymmRTA]

Hey SuperButterBuns, I'm curious if you've ever played MagnaCarta2 for 360. It was personally a really enjoyable game, took a while to take off, but I loved it.

[@jdprettynails]

I own this game!! I should actually try and play it again... Also the Gae Bolg is a legendary spear from Irish folklore....it shows up in several JRPGS.

[@aaronmathey7187]

I love the background music

[@DarkZenvell777]

Downloaded this game on the Switch and I love it!

[@KingNefiiria]

Rest in peace grandma

[@waffleman6666]

Wow forgot about you dunno how but your so funny and dead on in these reviews always make me smile thx so much lol

[@lusterjoker7876]

Whiteout, Black Out and all that Unit Combo,Weapons Skills, Hidden End Game Boss, Side Quests that actually matters within the game that intertwined and somehow made the Mary Sue cliche plots of saving the world from ending a little bit more complex, unpredictable outcome of any simple battle because the turn base+strategy+formations factors...I guess you haven't really go that far for this game isn't it? this game is definitely harder and was meant to older generations of JRPG that quite bored with the all that "Instant" to get a super boss into punching bag.

[@CelineSera]

Yo! Do you think you'll do a retrospective on this game and talk about the version on Switch/PS4? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@lifeloverNorris]

I love The Last Remnant, especially on PC. Funny story, I beat the game long time ago, but all these time I never knew you could press a button to know which specific attack/action are being used instead of the generic attack with mystic art! or attack with combat arts!

[@mattskirble6845]

Its funny I've been coming back to this video since I'm playing this game again on the switch. Looking back on it the Last remnant reminds me of a SaGa game which makes sense since a lot of the team did work on the SaGa series

[@TheDarkProdigy]

I almost farted laughing when the spreadsheet pop up.

[@SnanSlover]

Will you ever do a review of Final Fantasy VIII? I completed it recently and enjoyed it so much more than VII but almost everyone I talk to disagrees. I think it'd be interesting to see your opinion on it and why it was/wasn't better than VII and what it could have done better and all your usual comedic jazz...and butter...?

[@ink3539]

Didn(t knew the game was on steam, arethose lags problem resolved ? I really think about buying it

[@JeffreySmiles_]

Interesting to see this now in 2019, I'm currently playing the remaster and its honestly fucking beautiful! The gameplay is also very complex and requires you to understand its personal mechanics. I'm enjoying it so far, my only TRUE negative gripe with the game is that there's no way to tell where you have to go next.

[@HazmanFTW]

I thought this was going to be about Revenant Wings. The Gae Bulg, while being a common Final Fantasy/Squenix item, typically a spear, is a spear from Irish Mythology.

[@ClexYoshi]

and now it's getting delisted. :C

[@chronocrosser]

Heads up, there's a patch for the PC version which basically fixes all of the technical issues completely. At least when I installed the patch, I never had any texture pop-in, or framerate dropping.

[@hendrikkranen662]

Buns i love your vids and i hope you will be still doing these (your the BEST!!!!!)

[@andrewgray6206]

Played it twice, loved it

[@mythiel507]

This game was cool, played it aswell.. I adored its music too. Although this game hardly has replay value though.. Nice experience though.

[@basition]

Gae bolg refers to the spear of irish myth which is thrown by a "fork of the toes" It's basically a barb wire bomb. the Tain is fucking great

[@neodragon666]

I got so into this game and then my Xbox broke I cried for days

[@Toffifee13]

I love this game. Can't wait for the remaster! Played it on PC though. :D

[@over18irish]

The number of scene transitions hurts my brain x.x

[@jonathanpakoy7869]

thanks for the vid for this buns.....cause of steam sale i was able to get it and im actually enjoying myself with the game ......

[@abcdoooabcd]

i missed your channel alot

[@mattkillam2033]

Just found your videos. Very good!

[@leymj]

I loved this game.

[@Anarkoliko008]

When I played was really buggy, is it ok now? Did you have any glitches buns?

[@SuperButterBuns]

Frame-rate is all fine and good and it runs well on PC! The texture pop ins are the only thing that I had to deal with

[@Anarkoliko008]

thx buns I love you

[@edale2]

Gae Bolg was a legendary spear wielded by Cú Chulainn granted to him by his teacher... whose name I can't recall. It was a cursed spear that always hit the heart of it's target.

[@DrZuluGaming]

Scathach.

[@joseroa5243]

i get you, i droppped the game after a boss because honestly, the dude just made my over the top killer team enemy and that same team oblivorated all my other ones and i was like "meh" and stop playing it.

[@calenthebard2051]

It's back!

[@Aedyn91]

Still one of my favorite games of all time. :D

[@wachumaya]

So, the good thing about this game was that it served as warm up using unreal engine for future games?

[@sliphstream4927]

I bought TLR on a whim at Game stop on sale back in the day. Played it for 5 hours and said nope! Then I bought Lost Odyssey and LOVED it. Hey Buns.....do a show on Lost Odyssey!!

[@wesleybcrowen]

Look what’s getting a remaster.

[@SolidSpear]

Did you play the new hero yet in overwatch?

[@mostlyjoe]

And yet ANOTHER rerelease...on the Switch. Someone at SE loves this game.

[@donald347]

That moment you realize Vaan was Aladin!

[@DJMigrane]

I own this game on a 360. I'll have to check but I think this is one of the games we're even when you finish it you don't get the Chima stating that you finished it and I was super salty. Also you have to install the game on the 360 because it's unplayable otherwise

[@shiny9690]

you know it's really funny how many different franchises have the Gae Bolg, and the immediate urge of the fandom to instantly call it the Gay Bulge is always behind it

[@bluumberry]

I adored this game even with all its flaws. And it has amazing music.

[@HopeAcedia]

Obviously the Gae Bolg thing was a joke but it actually has relevance and is a famous weapon used by Scathach and more notably Cu Chulainn (if these sound familiar it's because both are common personas/demons in the megaten franchise).

[@kylemorrell8262]

Lost Odyssey was also an amazing jrpg
