The Conqueror is Scary, has an Army

The latest issue of Famitsu covers Square Enix’s upcoming “RPG for the World,” The Last Remnant, giving us insights into a few of the potential main antagonists of the game.

The Conqueror
“When you are afraid, that is the time you must not avert your eyes. Take it all in, and control it!”
A man who appeared suddenly, and due to his overwhelming power, made himself known throughout the world in the blink of an eye. He has come to be known simply as “The Conqueror” due to his merciless battle tactics. Some say that the crimson cloak he wears is dyed in the blood of those he has slain.
For some reason, Rush’s pendant seems to respond to his presence by glowing.

Roeas
“We went to all the trouble to start this battle, shouldn’t we enjoy it?”
Roeas is a female warrior who uses her beautiful appearance and charming voice to act as the communications officer of The Conqueror’s army. However, she is very battle-hungry, and extremely cruel. She only shows this side of herself on the battlefield, and attacks her enemies ruthlessly.

Castanea
Like Roeas, Castanea is a warrior who is very battle-hungry and cruel. He is a man of few words and his expressions are difficult to read. Other than Roeas, few can understand what he is thinking. He can unleash immensely powerful attacks, greater even than his enormous size would indicate.

In addition to the above characters, the article also mentions that other characters will join Rush throughout his journey, either due to various circumstances or through connections with guilds. Each character will have their own personality and their own skills. When visiting a town, however, these characters will split up to take care of their own business, allowing you to see them in their everyday lives away from the battlefield.

The Last Remnant will be available worldwide on Xbox 360 on November 20, 2008. There is currently no release date set for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions.
