Since gaming first began, there have been many RPGs that almost every gamer knows or has played at some point. Everyone knows the Final Fantasy series as one of the staples of RPG gaming, but what about the games that are sometimes overlooked?
17 years later, it still stands out.
The game was indeed amazing. Great characters, gameplay and story!
But the dream sequences penned by Shigematsu were sublime.
I still remember many of these stories and I have integrated in the past in my D&D campaign many years ago.
Microsoft should have just kept pumping money into these guys. Same with a lot of the other studios... the blundered hard.
Lost Odysee deserved a franchise even though development wasn't smooth
It's not like it has had any competition since 2007. Would really like to own the short stories from it in book form.
The problem with most MS games on 360 was they didn’t make the games they paid for them and that makes you less money in the long run and isn’t something you can continue to do especially with declining sales of consoles. MS should have been starting and growing studios from the beginning but they went for paid games and it leaves them without the knowledge and culture of making games.
It’s quite hard to believe, but Lost Odyssey turns fifteen years old today. A curious product of the time, it has arguably only got better with age - and not just because of what it is, but also what it represents.
The short stories that Kaim collects/remembers are truly emotional. I remember one in particular made my eyes water.
If you've never played this, try to hunt down an original copy, or emulate it. This game was a gem.
I wish there was a remaster. This and Last Story. Sad these games were released on the...wrong platforms...
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
The one who wrote this is obviously a SEGA fan my own list would be something like this:
1.SUIKODEN 6
2.BREATH OF FIRE 6
3.LEGEND OF DRAGOON 2
4.GRANDIA 4
5.LEGAIA 3
And there is many more JRPGs I would like to see a new game if we go back to PS1/PS2 days & check how many JRPG titles we had there is no comparison to PS3 days it's really disappointing...
Man a new Super Mario RPG would be amazing. Considering Nintendo can't even get their shit together enough to release the original one on the Wii U VC I'm gonna file this under never going to happen.
well..
CHRONO BREAK
LEGEND OF LEGAIA
ARC THE LAD
SUIKODEN
LEGEND OF DRAGOON
