[Tophawtdog4411]

i actually cried slightly

[fantasticomrvolpe]

THIS VIDEO SIMPLE PURE POETRY

[Sammy102093]

after 6:25, it gets way too sad for me ;,(

[Omega112358]

Damn, reading all these comments makes me feel like an asshole. I read this entire dream sequence without any trace of emotion.

Guess I really am heartless.

[SamFisherCell]

is the music played in the dreams on the OST?

[Ericanious]

@SamFisherCell

Yeah, mate, one piece is called "I will return, No matter what" (piano)

[bragdale]

Man, that was such a slap on my face. I started playing just hoping for a good game with a good story. Then, less then 2 hours of gameplay, if I remember, this Lost Odyssey thing gets my thirty-year-bearded-macho-face all wet... It was REALLY weird. But really amazing.

[SuperMathsBeaver]

I remember thinking when this first started playing, 'Oh goodie, I love reading stories in games! The Oblivion books are always fun.' This was my face afterwards: D':

[MentalRoXXorGear]

7:00 Until this point, I was slowly welling up. "I, however, can never go there." (Don't cry...it's just a game...) "I can never escape this world." "I can never see you again." (Don't cry...don't cry...) "This is not goodbye. It's just the start of your journey." He speaks his final words to her. "We'll meet again" (Don't you fucking DARE cry...) His final lie to her. (blink once, shed a single tear, hiccup, and proceed to weep like a bitch) .

[naruxsakufan]

i remember how much i cried, this is an amazing dream and am kind of glad they didnt animate the dreams that way it can easily touch our hearts. Not many games can easily do that, i can probably count them with one hand.

[lilthugwahid]

Damn onions.

[DarkSkyPrivateers]

This was my favorite aspect of the game. Not since Aeries died in FF7 have I actually shed tears over a game. They are extremely well written and so god damn emotional. I love it. 

[ATYoD]

Hey guys I'm in the process of uploading all 33 of Lost Odyssey's A Thousand Years of Dreams in HD. Check out my channel and subscribe for updates!

[planescaped]

I just realized in the Signpost dream it ends with Kaim asking himself.

"Where am I from?"

"Where am I going?"

An homage to Hanna.

[raVe4theslaVe]

This is the ONE game i want to come to the PS3 from the 360.

Its everything i miss in an RPG that sadly doesn't get made anymore.

I can't just buy a Xbox for one game though.... *sigh*

[sapnyosentry]

Check out my account, i actually narrated this story. It's not perfect, but I did my best. Check it out!

[ULTIMAFOX22]

I remember being amazed after the first time reading this saying "Damn. The first dream and I'm already crying." XD

[amacfantaasy]

whats the name of the song playing all thru the 5 minute area?

[daCATisBAKnBLAK]

It's called "A Return, Indeed" composed by Nobuo Uematsu.

[redeyezdevil]

I love the song that starts at 3:02...it's the song that Cooke and Mack sing when they save Sarah :) it makes me cry sometimes too

[ariolo00]

@redeyezdevil i prefer the one at 6:15, "Parting Forever", that said, i like better the complete version, the one with the woman singing

[Krazyboytx]

Great!

[maikeru1]

Who is the writer of these amazing stories?

[ariolo00]

@maikeru1 Kiyoshi Shigematsu, though they were translated to english by Jay Rubin

[Italiano7441]

Unbelievable...

[dietsoap]

the piano song at 6:38 makes it impossible for you to not show emotion while reading the dream

[jcudal32]

this can only come from the games that the original creator of final fantasy make, I am a fan of fantasy games, and final fantasy is no longer my fantasy, story comes before action, mistwalkers is a lot better then square enix, popularity doesn't necessarily mean its better.

i love this game, its my favorite RPG out of all the other rpg games he created (FFI-FFX)

[HouZeFrEaK999]

This story is very emotional ... I've got just 3 dreams but it is the most emotional dream ... (sorry for my bad english I'm german :D)

[Witch411101]

it gets worst

[daflukey]

"I, however, can never go there.

I can never escape this world.

I can never see you again."

That makes me breakdown....

[SplitPlaythru]

I don't know how to cope with this... I mean, this is the very first dream you come upon and it's quite heartbreaking. If I were the creator of the game, I'd put this dream sometime after the event where somebody dies in the game.

[colodius]

@SplitPlaythru I think the presenting of these dreams is aimed to be unintentional. It's pieces of memory that come back to his mind, and these stories don't cope with the main storyline, so I think it is better to exp these dreams this way.

[TheRollzroyce15]

@SplitPlaythru Kinda have to disagree. Yeah its sad, but it was the main reason for me wanting to push on with the game and read every dream.

[NamelessMC]

@SplitPlaythru Gee thanks for spoiling it by replying to the TOP comment with this. A regular old "Snape kills Dumbledore" here.

[TigerGTR]

This is actually one my favorite parts to the game and the other dreams are great too. The game itself itself is good.

[BenHyuga]

Aeris's death just got owned.

[Crashandburn999]

@BenHyuga Aeris' death didn't even make me feel sad. At least not much. But these on the other hand, some of these dreams had me crying like a baby lol. I have never, ever ever read any story that could ever compare to these.

[AnimeSnave]

Cried my eyes out to this dream. It's so sad, and first time a story emotionally moved me.

I love how all of them have the inevitable fate of death, reinforcing the loneliness of being immortal. Strengthens Kaim's character too.

[kokkinoskoufitsa3]

I love those dreams. They are so sad, i have never felt so melancholic before whlie playing a videogame

[cailan232]

i love the music at  2:58 but its upsetting! To be honest though when some one plays this game they arn't gonna sit there and read the whole story! i bet 90% of the people who have seen this either in the game or on youtube have become upset by listening to these dreams! i know a person who was put off of buying this game because it upset him too much! if your emotional, im warning you now!

[Indiepotato400ex]

many of them are, but they are all beautiful

some are particularly extraordinary, and the music of Uematsu is perfect

[shdwsn9]

I personally love a good story to a videogame. In response to your comment about ppl breezing through the story, I personally went though each of the dreams at least 2 times each and many times more for the ones I really enjoyed. But in agreement with your comment this game is overall, beautifully put together, it went beyond simple plotlines. Characters fit the bill to the T. The last game I played with this much character development had to be FF9.

[CRaazzyJoE92]

i like this its very sad and i can relate to it in a way (lolz im the first commentor) =D
