Although originally announced for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the game ultimately only hit the former. None of the documentation was available in Japanese, which caused a lot of issues. It was Square Enix’s first game using the engine, and one of the first big Japanese titles to do so. The Last Remnant was developed using Unreal Engine 3 by a team of people who had previously worked on the SaGa games. A lot of odd games came out at this time, and looking at it all from the outside you really have to wonder what was going on. Square Enix had bet big on the PlayStation 3, and that was proving to be a bit worrisome. Dragon Quest went handheld, and Microsoft was throwing money around for any substantial Japanese support. It had announced multiple Final Fantasy projects, and none of them were coming together properly. It was developing its own engine that it hoped to use in all of its future projects. And Square Enix was arguably the poster child for that chaos. No two regions had the same preferences, causing utter chaos for publishers. Apple had brought out some weird mobile phone that seemed like it could play some games. Nintendo had scored a massive out-of-nowhere hit with its unusual Wii system and was riding high atop both the console and handheld markets. Microsoft had surged in early to considerable success in the West. The seemingly infallible Sony had stumbled out of the gate with the PlayStation 3. The Last Remnant originally comes from one of the more tumultuous eras in gaming.
