The Last Story Wii Update No.5

New is starting to flow on a regular basis for Nintendo and Mistwalker's The Last Story on Wii now. The fifth update not only offers a new piece of artwork, but reveals some new information via the developer blog. This week's update goes by the name of "Hoshimi no Toh", or "Star Viewing Tower," which is one of the places that gamers will be able to visit whilst travelling around The Last Story's world, in addition to the initial location of Ruli.

This tower is a place from which the people can look up at the beautiful stars in the sky and point to their guardian star, according to the Producer of the project. The Director then goes on to discuss a scenario where two characters meet there to talk about their dreams, "In this place that's sacred to the Arganan Family, their hearts touch for just a moment. The girl whistles a the melody of a song for which she cannot recall the words; a melody handed down through the generations about those who have been torn apart."


The significance of this comes from how both characters lost their parents when they were young, yet were able to perservere through such hardship even when faced with wars and battles for power. Despite both having traumatic memories, their thoughts turn to kindness over the years. The Producer concludes by adding, "Everyone has a place that is special to them," writes the producer to close off the blog post. "For 'her,' this Hoshimi no Toh appears to be an extremely important place."

The second piece of music from the game can be listened to below:
