The Last Story RPG Hits Wii in Jan 2011

One of the most eagerly awaited games for Nintendo's Wii, The Last Story, has finally been given a Japanese release date.  Coming from Mistwalker, the development studio headed up by the father of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, The Last Story is seen by many as the creator's new Final Fantasy, and information has been drip-fed to the media over the course of this year.  Whilst there is still no news of a Western release date, Nintendo has confirmed that it will publish the RPG in Japan on 27th January, 2011.

Do you think The Last Story could prove to be as good as the Final Fantasy series?
