Square Enix announced this morning that their newest RPG, The Last Remnant has shipped for the Xbox 360. Developed by tri Ace, long ago, the world was filled with Remnants – mysterious artifacts from an ancient civilization. But as time passed, the powers of the Remnants began to shift the world’s balance.
