Pretty bad quality but the screens are still impressive.
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...
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
I'm liking this more and more. I wonder what the style of gameplay is like, traditional FF style or maybe a newer system?
BTW, it's made by Mistwalker ^^^
Sakaguchi is one of the best RPG makers out there, with Nobuo Uestumu (SP?)at his side aswell, it's obviously going to be a great experience. Square REALLY messed up not keeping these two.
damn..i get even happier anytime i see any information about this game....
Mess up what a total lier even Final Fantasy XIII beats Lost Oddyssey and Blue Dragon and plus Lost Odyssey can run on the PS3 considering Lost Odyessy is using Unreal Engine 3 and the PS3 has Unreal Engine 3.
everyone knows once Hironobu Sakaguchi left square the FF series went downhill, no ff title has ever matched FF7 till this day. but FF13 does look impressive.
