The Last Story (ラストストーリー, Rasuto Sutōrī) is an action role-playing game developed by Mistwalker and AQ Interactive, and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game was created by the creator of the Final Fantasy series, Hironobu Sakaguchi. Nintendo and Mistwalker both sought to create "a new form of RPG by choosing the universal theme of human emotion".
Nintendo originally did not intend to bring The Last Story to North America, but massive pressure from fans has convinced Nintendo to give it a NA release, albeit published by XSEED and not Nintendo itself. The game became a huge commercial success and the best selling title XSEED has ever developed.
Problems
Clothes texture missing
Parts of the body and clothing are missing. Enable "EFB Copies to RAM" to fix this.
- NOTE: You can change it back to EFB to Texture once the game is running. Keep in mind that with EFB to Texture active, every time a new model is introduced, such as meeting a new character, going through a loading screen, equipping a new armour etc, it will not load. Switch to RAM before a new model is loaded to prevent it.
- The "Enable Hotkeys" setting, found in the Graphics settings, under the Advanced tab, can be used to speed up this process. With hotkeys enabled, press "5" to toggle between EFB to Texture and EFB to Ram.
Audio stuttering in FMVs
The audio in some FMVs in the game will stutter if you don't have a very fast CPU. If you encounter this, disable "Idle Skipping" to fix it.
Freeze from time to time
The game might freeze when when you are transitioning from one scene to another through events, battles, and loading. The graphics will be frozen, but the music and sounds may continue playing. Setting the CPU Emulator engine to JITIL should help preventing this from occurring.
- The freezing has been fixed as of version 3.0-484. Therefore you can leave the CPU Emulator engine at JIT.
