When Remnants Attack

Last week's Famitsu covered both of Square Enix's upcoming Xbox 360 RPGs, Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant. (Yes, I'm playing catch up. It's all E3's fault, btw.)

The article focusing on The Last Remnant features two new enemies: Wagram and Jager. Wagram has been seen previously in some of the game's newer trailers, and is revealed to be a member of the mysterious organization that kidnapped Irina Sykes. He is apparently in a position of authority, and is the one who ordered Irina's abduction. Jager, like Wagram, is a higher-up in the organization, but is in charge of more dirty, hands-on work. He is strong and ruthless, but apparently no good around women.

It was also revealed that Remnants are not only objects, but some of them function like monsters, encountering the heroes on the battlefield. I kind of get the Shadow of the Colossus feel from these Remnants, and hopefully battles with them will be just as heartpounding.

The Last Remnant is set to release worldwide for Xbox 360 on November 20, 2008. No date for the PlayStation 3 or (recently announced) PC versions have been announced yet.
