Lost Odyssey is one of the two of Hironobu Sakaguchi's latest Japanese Role Playing Games that are headed toward the Xbox 360 console. Unlike Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey is meant to be taken seriously. This is no animated cartoon looking game; Lost Odyssey wants to submerse you into a deep storyline along with next generation graphics. A game that can only be imagined by an immortal: welcome to Hironobu Sakaguchi's Lost Odyssey…
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 going to ask for it for Christmas
But I am looking forward to this RPG just as much as Mass Effect.
I am a huge fan of old school RPGs.
One of my favorite RPG's last gen was Skies of Arcadia on Dreamcast.
old school rps are addicted, I remember zeno gears.
I agree I normally do not buy these type of Turn-base games but playing the Blue Dragon demo i finally gave this genre a chance and I kind of liked it but Lost Odyessy is so dam Epic in size/scope and story with its grown persons tone its a must buy for me.
looks beautiful good game plan on getting it. another $60 plus tax lost
