Is The Last Story first party or third party?

That will only cover Nintendo UK.  Not NCL in Japan.   Which is the one that truly matters.

It's also unknown if that copyright covers just the title, the game design, characters or the whole IP.  But again, that's still UK (maybe PAL) only.

Here's one way to look at it.  XSEED had to go to Nintendo, not Mistwalker, for US publishing and distribution.  Another factor, Nintendo are the entity that applied for the trademarks for the game, not Mistwalker.

Thanks!
