  • thanks, very accurate review

  • JRPGS suck massive donkey dong. The West gives Skyrim and Mass Effect 3...the Japs give us, well, this and Final Fantasy. Horrid, horrid, horrid.

  • @Samnutter3212 There is a thing WRPGS Have that JRPGS Dont have STUPID IDIOTIC IGNORANT IDIOTS LIKE YOU

  • @Samnutter3212

    Actually play a Light Rpg Like Final Fantasy I-IX And STFU Before your stupid ranting and stupidity towards games you probably havent even played I really hate fanboys like you That hate everything not american and accept every shitty Sandbox Rpgs Bioware or Bathaseda give out Ignorant idiot

  • @holypie987 Ok, you enjoy this weird, contrived, poorly-designed piece of shit...I'm off to pre-order Skyrim. Enjoy!

  • @Samnutter3212 Order your overrated story less bug filled idiotic Excuse for rpg

  • @holypie987 Oh dear...just...oh fucking dear.

  • @Samnutter3212 Regarding your other comment

    Weird:In what aspect?

    Poorly disigned:HA!You are idiotic I have never ever encountered a glitch nor the voices have been chesy It has great music and I enjoyed the gameplay as well cause i like turn based strategy not just mindlessly shooting or slashing like fallout or elder scrolls.

    Piece of shit:Why?!Its way better than oblivion

  • @Samnutter3212 so i guess there arent many good RPGS at the moment?

  • Worst battle system in jrpg is FF14's by far!! Too much happening on the screen and just general chaos with player pressing buttons like a downie. Lost Odyssy's battle system is just perfect. Like it was back in the day with most jrpgs. Why cant FF go back to this simpler and much more enjoyable fighting system?

  • All the info you need on herbs you can see when you pull up the menu, LOL @ 2:34 and 4:08 (somebody apparently doesn't have good timing). You can fully customize your charactor with new weapons and accessories, there are about a million different combo's of skills and spells that each charactor can learn, try playing through at least the first disc, then you'll understand how truely awesome of a game this is.

    Oh, and who actually plays it in english? Japanese w/ english subs is the way to go!

  • "The opening five minutes of the Lost Odyssey are brilliant." The rest of the review makes me think he ONLY played those first five minutes, and only seen bits and pieces of the rest.

  • I just got my 360. I own a PS3 and i own FF13. I didnt like it. I actually stopped playing it. This makes it the 2nd final fantasy game in all its library that i decided to abandoned. I always wanted to play Lost Odyssey, and when i finally got my 360, i immediately went out and bought it.

    I like the random fights and the style. It feels oldschool. Plus, the 1,000 years of memories that get triggered when you talk to people make the game seem more epic. I love the story of the lying girl.

  • this game is fucking awesome, one of the best rpgs ever defo in my top 5

  • What is it with people who bash turn-based combat? I would rather have that, and a great game than (lets say) FFXIII's combat and have it be just a long cutscene and a few battles. We're not asking you to change the game's combat! Stop trying to please everybody. Only the hardcore fans will follow you to the death. All of the others who you tried to please will eventually leave, and the hardcore fans would have left due to the attempt at trying to "revolutionize" the combat system. /endrant

  • 91 people "insert comment insulting ps3 fanboys"

    Anyways, great game, is a hironobu sakaguchi masterpiece for world =D (as well as Last story)

  • After playing FFVII and FFX every subsequent RPG has invariably left me disappointed. Lost Odyssey is not a bad game by any means, but the characters were rather one-dimensional and instantly forgettable generic JRPG-archetypes (the amnesic, the comic-relief, all the usual JRPG-personalities are present and all too familiar). The battle-system is also too slow and dull and the customization of weapons is shallow, and the level-progression is almost as linear as FFXIII, with nary exploration.

  • Did this guy play the same game I am playing? I mean this review is so far off from what the game really is.

  • I love both Lost Odyssey and Final Fantasy XIII. Wonderful RPGs on opposite sides of the continuum,.

  • @CrazyMan03 you sir are a failed excuse for a human being like the many who..."love" XIII

    and as for lost odyssey, no one likes a crossdressing main hero and that womanizer in the game that was just plain annoying to hear and look at his ugly face. also, when i play a rpg, i dont wanna read a book, LO has like page after page after page in those memory scenes or whatever. i felt like i was read a fucking BOOK!

  • @1xCloudStrifex1 O.o You sir, have no emotion. 

  • To all the Mistwalker/Lost Odyssey fans who are jealous of FFXIII's popularity- Shutup and stop acting like a 3-year-old.

  • Wtf? LO was amazing

  • I agree with the pillow.

  • i disagree with everything you just said in that review i thought the game was a masterpiece

  • best rpg i played other than mass effect. rings are easy always perfect and there are health bars. go to mountain shack and turn candle on and its in dresser thing. first two bosses super easy so quit whining!

  • 1. You can change formation during the fight, choose the formation option.

    2. All items tell you what they do during combat.

  • To everyone who says this game is the best RPG on the Xbox 360, does that include Infinite Undiscovery? Because I'm trying to figure out if I should get this game and I loved Infinite Undiscovery... So if you think this is better than IU then it must be amazing! I didn't play Final Fantasy XIII by the way, and I probably won't. Just want to know because I'm hearing some good things about this game... In the comments anyway. Most of the professional reviews call it "nothing special".

  • @ItachiTenshi Why won't you play FFXIII? It's a fantastic game. It's linear but honestly who cares? Lost Odyssey is pretty good: it has a great, entertaining story and a fantastic soundtrack, but honestly everything else is mediocre. I'd still buy it though. Infinite Undiscovery is one of my favorite games ever for some reason. I'd def. say it's worth a purchase. The game starts off.... less then spectacular but once you're a few hours in you'll love it

  • @yoyoyo88665 and FFXIII isn't mediocre? i dont claim to like LO either cuz i dont. FFXIII is the worse FF in the series next to FFXII. lame characters, lame music, lame story and character development, on top of lame gameplay.

  • @1xCloudStrifex1 lol opinions.

  • I don't know what everyone else is talking about, I thought this review pretty much nailed my feelings about it. I was disappointed to say the least.

  • fuck you

  • I played this game when it was first released and its one of my favourite games. And overall I have to disagree with everything you said. The ring bonus is very simple and easy to get into...yet in all the video you showed you did not hit a single bonus. Was it on purpose to demonstrate how boring and sad you were that it didn't add the depth to the combat that you were hoping for and to back up your point?

    ..pick this up if your a fan of the game-play and love a great story...

  • Let me start by saying I don't normally do turn based rpgs.

    Good: graphics are awesome, very deep story, easy to understand and play

    Bad: takes FOREVER to finally get to play, maps need labeling so you know where ur supposed to go, long load times between battles and areas, enemies don't have a health bar, order of attacks isnt displayed until u've chosen them and then it seems random, and i kno at least 1st 2 boss's are tougher than shit.

    But for not being a fan of the style. I had fun.

  • this guy's just mad cause he could never time the ring attacks, notice how in all his gameplays he gets a "bad" when attacking lol

    from the opening cutscenes it's understandable that lots of people assumed this game was a runaround hack and slash

  • I'd easily give this game a 9.8/10 my only complaint is they didnt give a ton of DLC for me to blow my money on. But they seriously need to make a Lost Odyssey 2, wouldve much more wanted that over gay FF13.

  • Check out my narrations on the some of the dreams for this game. So far i've done hanna's departure and stones of heaven. i'm planning on doing all 33 dreams based on kaim :)

  • This is an excellent game, with a beautiful story that has it's tearjerker moments (so bring tissues). It does have flaws however.

    1. Not enough Save Points. Is it so damn hard to put multiple save points in a dungeon so I don't have to leave my xbox on in between play sessions? Some of these dungeons are long.

    2. Boss fights are generally poorly balanced. First few bosses are stupidly difficult (para-flare anyone?) but later bosses become laughably easy.

  • @Netherfist

    3. Not being able to increase the speed of battle (cutting out the graphics for OMEGAPOWERED ATTACK OF DOOM) is annoying, but random-battle encounters during puzzles is even worse. It is so annoying when you are trying to figure out what to do in an area or solve a puzzle in a dungeon, and you get attacked randomly. When you get out of the battle, you forget what you were doing.) Although this is a problem with most turn-based RPGs, that comes with the genre.

  • The memories stories were better than the main story in my opinion...I was hoping that those memories were more tied to the story

  • i cant wait to play lost odyssey 2... i didnt like ff13.. this is way better. i personaly think lost odyssey is the best rpg so far for the xbox 360. 10/10

  • i will play this game anytime anyday over the FF13(its so bad save your money)

  • Spectral Force 3

  • So if the protagonist is immortal then what is the point of playing?

  • This is an amazing game, one of the best RPGs for the 360 right now. I admit I didnt like this game at first, but after giving it a chance its AMAZING! especially when you get all your characters. I beat this game already, but I never unlocked all the achievements so I have to do that, but this game is really good if you want a Classic RPG game.

  • I've never finished LOST ODYSSEY. I should get back into it once again. And this review is a veiwpoint from someone whom dislikes the way it played out.

  • is this game the longest rpg game there is?

  • The biggest weakness of this game was probably the first few hours of game play. It starts off so slow that it will turn you off playing it. The load times can be frustrating at times, but if you copy the disc to your Xbox harddrive you won't have that issue.

    The game has a wonderful story and I personally enjoyed the battle system. The bosses were difficult, but not too hard that they were unbeatable. The boss fights were also interested.

    This is one of the best JRPG's on the Xbox.

    9/10

  • 7.4 out of 10. Great story, but much boringness between. Too much boring fighting becoming a chore with the good parts few and far between. Wanted to like it much.

  • This review is ridiculous.

    2:21 -YOU CAN change your formation and control your party AT ANY TIME during battle. Press Left on the controller and hit 'Formation'.

    2:32 - When you have an item highlighted, look in the top left corner, it explains what everything is before you use it.

    2:48 - When you get a variety of rings, you play the ring timing game to enhance the effects of whatever ring you have equipped and you don't have to do it.

  • 3:49 - This proves that you don't play RPGs, let alone to the extent of giving a review on one.

    Lost Odyssey is a Masterpiece. It is seriously astounding to me how underrated this game is.

  • You've convinced me!I think I'm going to go buy it now. Back when it came out, I made the decision to either get Lost Odyssey or DMC4, and went with DMC4... But i still felt sad at not getting this game! So I just HAVE to get it now!

  • i needed 1 more mission then i got my profile stolen could of beat in 16 hours

  • 16 hours? Damn im 40 hours in and only just started the 4th disc, i have being slow though, making sure i do everything finding secrets and so on./

  • He does actually make some valid points, but the viewer who hasnt played the game yet, may get the impression its not as good as it really is. The game is NOT mediocre, its quite exceptional. If youre a fan of the fighting style, make sure you play this.

    9.4/10

  • 1 star because you are a NOOB.

  • wow...i was looking for a game similar to the legend of dragoon on google. I found this....looks incredible, ofcourse i dont have a 360. why the hell does the ps3 have NO good rpgs? let alone atleast 5?

  • because the playstation is LAAAMMMMEEE.

    :)

  • Just got this game the other day, it's not that bad. Just needed something to tide me over until Mar. 9th

  • 1 star n00b.

    Your obviously a RPG rookie. Go play some J-RPG's and get back at me. This game is an absolute masterpiece.

  • i loved lost odyssey

  • Im sorry but you make Lost Odyssey sound so bad even though the excuses you came up with are bad themselves.

    5 seconds loading time before a battle, wow thats long, 1 hour at the beginning of the game doing nothing, hmmm sounds like y'no, an RPG? Story telling is what square enix were born to do and if you think that that makes it bad then u r terribly wrong! Also, MEDIOCRE! seriously Lost Odyssey is the best RPG out on the 360, you dont know shit

  • been playing games for +10 years, this is definately in my top 10... this shackshit doesn't know anything..

  • this game is the true reason for that I bought an xbox 360, this and others, but this game was the 1st and most convincing reason, and this game is beautiful, and a great name, great story, great graphics, simple, but solid and fluid gameplay, I feel like am playing a Final Fantasy Game, well a classic final fantasy from the great Hironobu Sakaguchi who performed and created this game, simply one of the bests games in the xbox 360

  • i have this game but im crap at it i gave up because i cant get passed this big blue snake thingy

  • even if this game came out years ago its graphics are still on par with final fantasy 13

  • 1) Install the game to avoid wait times. yes, installing takes forever especially for 4 discs, but you'll thank me.

    2) You can change your party formation in battle.

    3) This game is an absolute gem in all respects. The ring system I love, and I love the battle system in general.

    My Boyfriend said the same things as the reviewer when he first saw me playing this game. And guess what? Several months later he begged me to buy it for his birthday. And he's picky as it is. Lost Odyssey is THAT good.

  • I agree. I got this game with my 360 console and i kinda regret it now cause no other game lives up to it so i can't get as much out of them as i would have otherwise. This is the best game for the 360 currently available, one of the best JRPGs ever made that isn't Final Fantasy, and one of the best games ever made. (I do tend to skip the dreams though. i like to lay down if i'm reading)

  • I found the dreams to be one of the most enjoyable parts of the game personally. :) One of my mini-peeves with the game was that Kaim as a character was developed so well in the dream stories, however his character wasn't as interesting and compelling in the real events of the game.

    Nothing wrong with preference though. ;)

  • ok it looks like you havent heven played 2 hours of the game. im on the third disk, once you get farther in the game it's alot better. and 5 seconds for a battle to load? it's only 5 seconds.

  • I agree. If someone isn't even patient enough to make it through 5 second load times...then why are they playing an RPG to begin with.

  • Wow..this guy clearly didn't play much more than a couple of hours.

  • All the footage is from disc 1, lol. Since that's all I've played.

  • worst review ever and I haven't even played the game.

  • Also, I think there's VERY little load time. I haven't waited longer than 2 seconds.

    Also, you can change your party and what not. It's called Formation.

    Another thing, apparently this kid is a fucking Fan-Boy due to his lack of appriciation for in-depth Story.

    Final Fantasy is all about Less Story, More Teen-Angst. Go play that some more ya little shit.

    When youre older, play Lost Odyssey and enjoy the major / huge story.

  • I LOVE the story in this game. It got me hooked.

  • So under-rated.....

  • OMFG this game is so underrated. This is just like chrono cross where people dont realize how good that game was

  • Touche !

  • Westerners can't do decent RPG's.

  • WTF?! This guy pretty much says that it is a good movie, but not a good game? Soooo....... pretty much what he is saying is there is too much story telling and not enough "epic" gameplay...... he probably wrote a so-so review for metal gear solid games as well.... I don't agree with him.

  • obviously this reviewer is a noob he cant even hit the ring attack..hahaha and doesnt know how jrpg works.. if u get bored in this game it means ur not a fan or stupid that only likes action games with no story..

  • is this game worth the money

  • it is if u like final fantasy! its basically a final fantasy with diffrnt title,,,, it was made by sakaguchi the founder of final fantasy series

  • it's worth the money

  • so can anyone tell me how to get the kaim, ming, sarah, seth achievements??

  • best xbox 360 RPG out there in my opinon.. very long but the stiry is AMAZING without a doubt! theres a good slecction of characters with different abilities... def but this game.. i bought it a year ago new for €15 so it should b cheap!

  • This game is absolutely amazing . i,ve just reached the forth disk and don't want it to end. The only thing i would change is an option of how often you encounter enemies as it can get annoying bumping into hard enemies every 15 seconds. You can always flee from battles but it doesn't always work and can result in you getting completely smashed by the enemy. Other than that its amazing and i think ill struggle to play a better game , Unless they make Shenmu 3!

  • equip the turn tail shoes

  • lol sorry i accidently spammed your other comment. Anyway thanks for it because i was really wondering what the other disks were when I bought it 3 days ago :P

  • it's ok. it's a pretty long game. all four disks are gameplay

  • i found the ring system to not be a chore at all.

  • Very Sweet, but it unfortunately follows VERY traditional Japanese RPS. I.E- Elemental Attacks (Flare, Flara, Flarus, Flaraga) But it is still amazing.

  • I agree with you but i still love this game. I recommended.

  • the really only problems is the battle system......the bosses are hard n seem to be stronger than your characters..n love the graphics..the review is right about this is like an interactive movie

  • Comment removed

  • i really dont know if i should buy this can someone recommend it or no ? cause half the comments say it is great but the review dont WHAT SHOULD I DO????

  • I played the game and I recommend it...It has a nice story line (long but great story) 4 Disc about 10-11hrs of gameplay per disc...dont let the number of disc distract you cuz when ur done ur going to beg for more hehe!!

  • game is pretty boring, i just got it for free. im about 6hrs in, only good part was the boss fights but besides that its just really bland. i mean your 2 main characters can't learn any unique skills, they just take already learned skills which means u gett to see the same animations for almost every character. Plus theres no armor buying which is unheard of in an rpg, and so far i havent been able to change weapons.

  • lol lol

  • The game really takes off about half-way through the first disc - which is about 5 hours in. After that the story picks up and holds your interest until the end. I actually put the game down for an entire year because I had the same issue as you, but I picked it up again and have since played it through at a fairly rapid rate.

    As for the immortal skills - that will change once you get more party members. Combined with slots you can really customize your characters and party for each dungeon.

  • SHIT review.

    this was the BEST games i played since FFX

  • I think ill give this game a miss.

  • thats a very bad idea

  • mediocre... this is the best rpg i played in years (and i played loads on any console)

  • mediocer?! my ass. this has to be the best rpg i've ever played. though i've never played a final fantasy, but i used to be obsessed with watching people play kingdom hearts. so i know a little bit. either way. it's amazing.

    unfortunelty, i haven't gotten past the 1st disk because i bought mine on amazon and the second disk doesn't work atm. :,[ any suggestions on what i should do?

  • kingdom hearts isnt the same type of rpg as this game

  • this game looks so good and the story is freakin awesome but the battle system is kinda weak but u get use to it

  • right right

  • Mistwalker just hit the nail on the fucking head. Too bad it will probably only have a cult following at best. Glad I picked up this gem of a game. Bottomline? Old-school done right. =)

  • Wow. Horrible review. I don;t think this person actually played the game.

  • Yes, you get all four disks when you purchase the game.

  • that was a great review, thanks!

  • Worst review ever. Completely made the game seem horrible when it's not.

  • also, you can change the formation in battle, YOU PLAYED THIS GAME? man really this review sucks ass.

  • Lost oddysey made me buy 360 when first announced along Blue Dragon, i waited for it 2 years, and HELL it was a masterpiece, it made me feel like the olf good days playing ff6, 7 and 9.

  • Also, the comment on the Items, when you scroll over the item, it says on the top of the screen the effect of the item. You also must be EXCEPTIONALLY lazy, of holding the right trigger to align rings is a chore to you. You're comment on it being an apparent "interactive movie", it's a JRPG, they are EXTEAMLY STORY HEAVY. That's just how they are. If you don't like it, go play a shooter. Honestly, did you even play it? Because you don't seem to know whats going on. (Completing last comment)

  • Absolutely terrible review.

    Battles: There honestly isn't many at all. And the battle system isn't intended to be "Innovative", it's supposed to be classic and simple, alike to older JPGs. And you say you wish you could control your party more "Like you can outside of battles", outside you can change formation, weapons, rings, and equipment. In battle you can change all those things.

  • it was okay but if the mc F*CKing immortal how do you possible lose fights

  • The fact he is immortal doesn't change basic game concepts like game-overs for example. He can still be hurt and knocked out, he just can't die. It just changes his perspective on those around him and well as creates a unique story. As the story progresses, the theme of immortals and humans really touches you in that it will make appreciate life. It's definitely a unique angle that hasn't been done before in any other RPG.

  • Bring a pillow??? WTF!!! You're not an RPG fan at all. What a shity review!!! You fucking fail!!! I've played this game from beggining to end & I must say it's truly a classic & you're just a NOOB without a clue.

  • I personally think the "bland" battle system is part of the game's charm. Being a fan of the old school RPGs, I like simple turn based combat. Sometimes I think games try to be too "innovative," and just turn into an exceedingly complicated mess. I thought Lost Odyssey, in that regard, is a return to form for the genre.

  • Should I get this or Star Ocean Last Hope?

    I was thinking this, but I hear the load times are long.

  • Dude install the game and it's a thing of the past.

    GET Lost Odyssey!

  • one of the best rpgs ever made.

  • but it was quite easy im lv 99 =3

  • this is the best game on the xbox 360 its not bad in any way

  • i love this game! i just got to disk 2 and its fucking amazing!

  • i like his accent

  • plus this game is fucking hard

  • I want to know, which game is better in terms of: Fun Combats, Long Game and Lvling, and Gearing our characters between: Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant? I liked Too Human for these criterias but the game was to short.

    I don't like Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata cuz of the Characters Design...

    Ty in Advance!

  • saw yer post, go for lost odyssey hands down, trust me :). This game had me gripped like FF7 did.

  • Lost Odyssey is the best turn based rpg ever besides Final fantasy 7. Because i was hooked on it i actually found it SHORT lol.

  • love this game but the bosses piss me off. not to mention i am lost in the damn sorceresses mantion.

  • dude i just got to that part and i gave up after a while.. I had no idea other people were stuck there too lol, i thought i just sucked..

  • i got through it. look up the walkthrough for it on youtube. it helped a lot. now im on the 4th disk.

  • i was playing this and i got to near the end of disk two (i think?) when im wwith the two annoing brats and i get attacked by an ice monster that looks an awful lot like the pokemon...anyay i could beat him and being the chldish gamer i am, told everyone it was a terrible game.

    neeedless to say, i feel bad.

    this was a fun game an i was addictively playing it for a good solid 20 hours...but that fight....that figh put me off of it.

  • Jansen is the best.

  • Listen to the nerds verbally bash the reviewer, lmao.

  • Look at the prick hiding commenting behind a screen of anonymity.

  • great game woooo

  • Yeah this guy didn't seem to know what he was on about. I never once thought this was like an interactive movie whilst playing through for 70 hours.

  • Obviously this person is reading a review from a piece of paper handed to him at the beginning of the day. Lost Odyssey is an absolutely incredible game!! I'd go so far as to say it is on par with it's FF cousins, maybe even better! Next time these folks review a game, they should at least TRY to play it and see it's mettle before slapping a negative review on it.

  • hironobu sakaguchi, great maker of this and final fantasy never makes a mistake

  • WOW PLEASE DO NOT REVIEW A GAME IF YOU DONT PLAY IT. IF YOU WOULD PLAY IT LONG ENOUGH, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR PARTIES FORMATIONS AND EQUIPMENT. YOU SUCK AT REVIEWING. THIS IS A GREAT GAME BUT YOU GIVE IT A BAD NAME. (for all those who dont know how to change that, it's press the left directionnal buttons)

  • Seams to me that the reviewer never beat the game, why did you only show clips from the beginning of the first disk? Also this is a JRPG why are you complaining about "lots of battles"?

    For those who want to buy tales of vesperia I have both games and I would say get both, there on the same level.

  • CybershackAu failz hardcore -_- your info is way off and tbh the only thing u had right in these 4.48min was the fact that after the opening ''fight'' u get a rly long background story, and ofc the game would feel a bit like a interactive movie lol just look @ the creators i mean have u ever played Final Fantasy ? ofc they will pretty much stick with Japanese style rpg its what people expect. And again you CAN see item info and change formation dont revieuw something u never played/understand.

  • this dik head geezer needs a back hander

  • Wow... the person who reviewed this game must have reviewed a half finished copy. You could infact change your formation and you could infact find out the info on what items do what.

    Oh well... can't please everyone

  • i enjoyed the game actually

  • This guy just bitched at the game, + it seems hes terrible and didnt really go that far into the game. I personally think its a great game, even now, it has one hell of a long play time and characters that make you laugh, like Jansen or Tolten (more like laugh at for Tolten >.>)

  • This has to be one of the best tunr based RPGs i've played in a long time, the last time I played a game this good was the original Breath of fire.

  • oh and another thing u can change ur formation outside and inside of battle make's me think u did'nt even play the game,u must be a wanna be reviewer,and the item's do have a desription dude just give up at gaming ur a hopless case

  • Comment removed

  • Dude you dont know wtf ur talking about Lost Odyssey is wanna the funest game's out there(better then FF) and fyi it's not a movie fuck head

  • Exclusively for Xbox 360!

  • The first time I played this game, I was like, Woah, atlast a Epic Game for the Next Gen Console, I mean, The Story is Perfect, the soundtrack, Character Voices, battles, and graphics, they are Awesome.

    This game was VERY underated, it can be in the same category as Final fantasy 7,8,9,10 and 12, and some other fantastic rpgs like Chrono Trigger and Chross.

    If im missing any other games, do tell, I can be missing like 15 more rpgs lol.

  • Grandia 2 :P

    (favorite game everrrrr)

    so should i get this? or tales of vesperia.. or both?

  • Get Both! haha

    But if u can only buy 1, go for Lost Odyssey =p

    Srry for the late reply

  • get both =)

    or...get lost odyssey first....it's better imo

    I really love the tales of games....especially symphonia and phantasia, but this game missed that spark, besides...I just felt that they repeated the same formula without any interesting twists (in vesperia) and raven is a zelos-ripoff to no end X(

  • lost odyssey is the best game i ever played and i was playing games since i was three i love everything about it even the frustrating moments cause a game is not fun without a challenge and for the people who have not got the game  if u get it i hope u like it

  • they should have made the character a little bit more asianish or japanesish cuz that's the worst leading jrpg char ive ever seen.

  • no its not... i like it like that so it doesn't feel so anime

  • Am gonna get it today, I don't like turn based battle, but I'll give it a go because it looks good! x

  • Mr. Worst-Voice-Actor-Ever is completely off in my opinion. Lost odyssey is one of the most epic games I've seen in my 23 years of gaming. It's up there with Final Fantasy 7 and I really don't think the battle system is boring or faulty. In fact, the battle system goes well with the game overall. If it worked any differently, you'd lose your integration with the story because it suddenly changes too much.

    Best JRPG in many, many years.

  • start with games like golden sun

  • lol! how the hell can you expect someone to "teach" you how to play a game via E-mail? are you for real? hahaha! made me laugh anyway.

  • I looooove this game,only now I'm kinda stuck at it on fourth disc.The part when I must protect Numara:-(

  • Is this worth gitting.

  • Well if you have the patience for impossibly hard Boss fights, which make you question the fairness of the game, then yeah.
