Lost Odyssey

This game comes out on Tuesday the 12th. Are you guys ready. Has anyone watched the commercial? It was pure genius. White Rabbit.

I can't wait I already paid for it on full reserve. This game is gonna be huge. I mean 4 dual layered disc huge!!!

I'm very excited for it. Reviews are ranging from YAY to NOO, but I figure I'll fall under the former situation. Though putting pretty current-gen looks aside, it basically looks like a Final Fantasy game caught between VI and VII: Innovative in some ways, old-school in others. It's a new franchise and turn-based is pretty niche, so I don't expect it to do well I'm afraid. But Mistwalker will enjoy my 60 bucks, y'all!

I heard some terrible things about it's loading times...

I think Sacaguchi made a bad decision when he decided to focus more on story and keep the old FF gameplay.
RPG fans in the west want new things and innovation in their games and this is anything but that.It's an exclusive to 360 so therefore i think in terms of sales this game is doomed in the west.
Of course he mostly tried to lure the Japanese gamers but the problem is 360 keeps on failing to attract the japanese yen...

[Ouch!]

I'm picking it up in a couple hours. I'm psyched.

I can't wait to get it ^^

[nozkits]

I'm pissed off right now

"we don't get our shipments in until tomorrow."


and its sold out everywhere else!!

I want this game so badly.

I mean its good to have the old school on a next gen.

Got it last week, it's pretty good so far. Load time problems have been grossly exaggerated from what I can tell. The Thousand Years of Dreams thing is a nice touch for mine.

It's basically like FFX with better graphics, less annoying characters and a not as fun battle system. Though the Ring stuff is quite cool, I must admit.

I think I will go and play some more of this right now, actually!

[Hazzard]

Would you recommend buying it as soon as possible?

[DK]

It's far from essential, tbh. I would even advocate waiting for the price to drop a little before picking it up, but bare in mind I am still only a little way into the game. But from what I can tell it's basically your run of the mill JRPG, there's nothing outstanding or drastically fresh and new about it.

Yearg! That's what makes me iffy about this game. I'm sure I'll like it and stuff, but at this point it's like... I've done this routine how many times. I'm just not sure I can do it yet again with another RPG. Maybe later on the game will pick up. If it does, please throw a brick through my window with a note attached saying "It picks up -- you'll like it!". I would appreciate that.

[Ouch!]

I'll be getting it tomorrow after all. Oh well.

It is nice to be playing an RPG with a Uematsu soundtrack again, I must say.

Yes, I must agree with you on that!! I can't wait until tomorrow, but on a side note I really need to start studying for my art history examination tomorrow.

Did you hear Blue Dragons soundtrack?

[DK]

No, game was boring as so I traded it in.
