JackFetch Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 In Lost Odyssey the player takes control of Kaim, a man who has lived for 1,000 years. The game's story revolves around the many generations of which Kaim is a part of, his loves and losses and conflicts in a world nearing a "mystical industrial revolution". Lost Odyssey's story is being penned by the award winning Japanese novelist, Kiyoshi Shigematsu who is working directly with the game's producer Hironobu Sakaguchi on the story sequences. Heading up the artistic demands of the title is famed Japanese comic artist, Takehiko Inoue, while famed composer Nobuo Uematsu has been recruited to create a more contemporary soundtrack. Mistwalker is developing the title, with cooperation with a studio named Feel Plus, a subsidiary of Microsoft created specifically to aid Mistwalker. Feel Plus is made up of around 40 former Nautilus/Sacnoth developers, most famous for the cult favorite Shadow Hearts RPG series. (Sacnoth was officially announced as being dissolved in 2007.) Former Square employees at Microsoft are also involved. It has been confirmed that the game will come on 4 Dual Layer DVDs, more than any Xbox 360 game to date. Check out the video of the game: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_5664_en.html Two things I like from the video: 1. You can move the camera and zoom on things even though it's on a linear path like FFX. 2. I loved the weather effects and the guy shielding his face walking through the storm. I didn't like: The annoying guy that looks like a girl. Those are some bad lines coming from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Here's hoping it ends up better than Blue Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm enjoying this game a lot more than I expected. I thought I was going to hate the characters, but they are pretty funny. Except the main character. He's the typical brooding swordsman. It's on 4 discs, so I expect I'll be playing for awhile.

ragernok2002 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm really enjoying this so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I finished disc 1 last night, and it just keeps getting better. The graphics are really good sometimes, and a little creepy. You can see the veins on one of the character's boobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Damn it, I really should've bought this or Bioshock instead of Perfect Dark Zero. Maybe I'll stop by the store on the way home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 why not buy both? You know you want to :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well, I'm planning to sink a boatload of hours into GTAIV in about a month and a half, so I'm going to have to choose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 In that case, I’d look at how many hours you’d spend playing either of those video games over the next month and a half (assuming you’d like to play both equally). BioShock is 10-15 hours, Lost Odyssey (from what I hear) is 40+ hours. Which is more suited to the amount of gaming you’ll be doing over the next 6 weeks?

drqshadow Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Most likely very much closer to the Bioshock number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Finished first disk, I'm really loving the story so far, the part about his daughter was awesome in a sad way, I never saw that coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's kind of ridiculous how hard this game is sometimes. You need to go in blind and get killed at least once or twice before you figure out how to get past some places. Then you might need to go level certain skills or go all the way back and get certain items before retrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 This is testing my patience, I keep getting disc read errors after an hour or so of playing. Also I'm after going to The Old witches house and every character I have gotten is a fucking magic user apart from Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Lost Odyssey DLC There is DLC for Lost Odyssey for 200ms you get. "new dream sequence called "The Shattered Beyond," a "memory lamp" to view dreams and a Battle Ring for fighting magic weaponry" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
