Gamersyde finally received their Lost Odyssey copy yesterday and quickly went to the point where DjMizuhara's console died so that they could record some new videos. Here is the first one, showing some real gameplay with fights, with of course more to come.
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.
visually dissapointing story seems nice though
Actually the visualls are good,not magnificent but good.I will still get this game because have never been into JRPGs before and kind of getting tired of FPS at the moment.So a welcome change is highly welcomed
of rpg's that storyline better be really good or i would think its still a very generic rpg at that. But for xbox360 they could use a solid rpg and being a fan of rpg's i would still play it :)
This looks pretty mediocre for a ps2 title...oh whats that? this is for 360? .....oh....oh dear....aha ahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa !
Please. Graphics Sub below par. This game looks worse than FFX. (compare screens if you want). I have no idea bout the gameplay, hopefully its good. Theres nothing visually attractive here.
Nice character models and animation...I'm not too thrilled about the environments though. The n00b that's playing the game is taking forever to pick an action, it seemed like that battle took forever. It felt like watching the Mass Effect gameplay videos where the guy doesn't know where anything is, so he's slowly going through the whole menu. I think I'll still get this once it comes stateside though. I haven't played a really good RPG since FF12.
