The Last Story is a console role-playing game developed by Mistwalker and AQ Interactive and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game's name and logo have been noted to be very similar to the Final Fantasy series which was created by Mistwalker's head, Hironobu Sakaguchi. He initially wanted to reveal the game by the end of 2009 but delayed the announcement to 2010 for unknown reasons.

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said that Nintendo's collaboration with Mistwalker is seeking "a new form of RPG by choosing the universal theme of human emotion".

There was some confusion on the Mistwalker official blog that Sakaguchi may retire after this game. However, this was a translation error as Sakaguchi meant he was working on it as though he were working on his last game.

Features

• The game will take place on Ruli Island, governed by Count Alganan and located at the entrance of a harbor which serves as the only entrance to a mountainous continent.
• The player controls a group of mercenaries that have come from the desolate continent to Ruli City seeking work.
• The production staff is trying to limit science fiction elements in the game.
• The game includes abilities such as "Gathering", which allows Elza to draw the attention of enemies to buy time for his allies to cast spells.
• Another ability called "Focus" which allows you to make long range attacks and see the weaknesses of enemies.
• A sequence in the first trailer for the game shows an example of the focus ability being used to cast fire magic to destroy a bridge with enemies on it.
• Pointers show which allies are being targeted at any given time.
• The game also contains 6-player cooperative and competitive online modes, where users either team up to face monsters or battle each other.
