  • I like turn base, freeform and mixutre of the two battles in my games. All that matters is if the execution is done properly.

  • I kinda want to play this game but the Turn-Based Battles suck in my opinion

    This is what kinda dissuades me from playing it

  • I like turn based games but honestly I wish a lot of them would just switch to realtime gameplay with some level of strategy incorperated, because a lot of games seem to want to have realtime style combat,but as turns. For instance, FFX. It's not like you're playing chess. There's barely any strategy - the game is just taking turns doing brute force. It would've been less patience trying if it was in realtime.

  • Odio los RPG. Las batallas deben ser en tiempo real; no por turnos.

  • I agree with many of you, I love turn based rpgs. I have tried several more fast faced rpg's and it is a nice change at times, but some of them go way to fast it just ruins it a bit. No time to think, with some games that works but with so many spells, items and attacks to choose from it rarely doesn't. I'm so glad Lost Odyessey did it this way.

  • only nobuo to resurrect the long gone turn-based RPG's

  • *victorious music* you just conquered a bunch of forest animals *tadadadam*

    I hate turn based rpgs, by the way...

  • This gameplay made me decide to get this game (:

  • @BluecaliburZero You're in for a hell of a ride... in a great way :)

  • @NintendoGam3r Oh, i bought the game ages ago, Yes it is quite great :) i Love rpg games, and i prob finished this two and a half times :)

  • Well, I guess 19 people were jealous of Kaim's good looks and clicked the dislike button...

    Anyway, great, great game! Can't wait for LO 2! Does anybody have any idea when its coming out? =^_^=

  • this game is 100 X's better then final Fantasy 13 they need to make games like this I'm not sure i wanna waste my money on anymore square enix games except kingdom hearts

  • OMG! What a battle theme...

  • i dont understand why people hate this combat system, i think its far better than xiii battle system

    turns FTW

  • DAMN! I thought this game was regular fighting, not turn based fighting, ugh not going to get this anymore :(

  • @JackassCKY44 Turned based fighting is about tactical gameplay, which is often a lot more fun than a hack and slash.

  • This is what current gen Final Fantasy should've been. :/

  • I love turn based rpg's

  • final fantasy rip off FTW

  • @bionicblazer1

    Not exactly ripoff when Lost Odyssey was created by FF-creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, and the soundtrack was composed by God himself.

    And with God, I mean Nobuo Uematsu of course.

  • @bionicblazer1

    you do know its the same creator right

  • all these games like mw2 and gears of war are really slow paced games, counterstrike and half life 2 now those were fast games, i think to many of these kids just dont know what they are talking about

  • noooooooooo way, initiating into battle takes way too long how can you not be bored playing this, final fantasy was faster!

  • He beat the crap out of the deer

  • Yay! The best battle system for RPGs!, thanks father of Final Fantasy! "They" screwed up Final Fantasy XIII.

    SQUARESOFT nostalgia.

    Go to Hell Square Enix.

  • @sirzeta

    LMFAO XDD i love your comment LOL

    and yeah Square has gone to shit after Final Fantasy 10 honestly >.>

  • i miss a game like ff 9 or 10 style..this one look like the old school god rpg games

  • this is nothing but a fake final fantasy and if anybody that thinks that this is better than final fantasy then you are wrong. And im talking about the old final fantasy not the new one's. Dont get me wrong this is a great game but i just think that it is not up to the level of final fantasy. And if anyone think other wise then please reply to it because this is what i think and i want people to say there opion on this.

  • @iReJeCt094 this game brought back the old school elements of RPGs that everyone loved. Well i know I did and i'm sure I'm not the only one. As with Final Fantasy they have been taking everything that made FF what it is and revamping it. If comparing this game to FFXII, this game is definitely better. but the old FF still take the cake, even though this one is close. this game reminds me of Final Fantasy X, blue dragon, and Legend of Dragoon all rolled into one. Great game 10/10 stars

  • i must agree whit u

  • Really don't say other people are "wrong" just because they have an opinion other than yours please

  • did the guy who made final fantasy actually help make this?

  • The "father" of final fantasy, who no longer works for square, worked on this, and also the music composer of final fantasy 1-10 did the entire soundtrack of this game.

  • Yup, this soundtrack by Nobuo Uematu. I wonder why not he made the musics for the latest FF games?

  • Well, yeah, the director for Final Fantasys 1-10 directed this. Obviously had a different head of visual design on board.

  • yea and the origanal composers of the music.

  • Yes, the original creator of Final Fantasy (1-9) created this. He broke away from Square and formed his own company (Mistwalker) and they created it.

  • yea i always wanted to know if ff help make this.

  • this game is perfect, it is so final fantasy

  • This is really an amazing game. Hironobu Sakaguchi should definately make more entries in this series cause it rivals some of the final fantasy entries.

  • Comment removed

  • Or rather, you don't even know the things that are going on. =)

  • Up until i quit this game I read every single one of the text stories. BTW. Palom and Parom want their skins back.

  • hey great rpg smarts you must play all rpg's like me that whats up.ill bet that 95 percent of the pepole here dont know who palom and parom the twins are.

  • FFIV my friend.

    FFIV.

  • uematsu and the producer of ff made this game no need more to say. I wonder why is turn based

  • because the true and the ol'school FF-fans appreciate the turn based battle system. it's what we have always "known"

    as for square-enix , i'm ditching FF13 and all upcoming final fantasy games.

    Final Fantasy will never be Final Fantasy without Sakaguchi and Uematsu

  • God bless u man u fucking toll the truth.

  • turn based is awesome

  • you should c the pics for the ff 13

  • one of the die hard ff fans who don't even want a change, i don't really like that sakaguchi guy though but tetsuya nomura is the best. Im more looking forward to FF vs XIII rather than ff XIII and uematsu will be the composer of ffXIV though it online.

  • I agree, turn based rpgs are awesome. The new 'thing' is the super fast paced shit...

  • @zeldantasyXll turn based jrpgs = the best

  • This is like the first free area your in dude...

  • how is there a game is the guy is immortal?

  • He can still get the shit beat out of him and pas out, not dead, just out cold. And if all of your party is dead or knocked out its game over.

  • okay, so what's the threat? Even if I was immortal and got curb stomped and didn't die, I would be okay with it once my jaw heals.

    Everything else about the story is great, but making a game character immortal was one of Hirunobu Sakaguchi's worst design choices ever.

    The never dying concept only worked in prince of persia, because elika could use magic to save you, so no prob, but here it's just like a joke.

  • True that, the game is good but that aspect of the game sorta pisses me off too. There should be no game over if he's immortal, I mean in the beginning of the game he gets crushed by a meteor and jumps back up seconds later, why cant he do that during the couse of the game, If he does die during a battle and you survive for a couple of turns, he'll come back. But shoudn't he be just an immortal badass that could never die/pass out. Simply, THERE SHOULD BE NO GAME OVE IF HE'S FREAKIN IMMORTAL!!

  • Then there obviously wouldnt be a point, meaning no game.

    Its ''game over'' because everyone dies and you lost your objective.

  • Him never dieing is a major part of the story. If you take everything so technically then RPGs would never get anywhere, be realistic. Not being killed in the game isnt so he can survive for the sake of life, its so that he can continue his journey while keeping his comrades safe.

  • The immortals revived when KOed automatically after a few turns. If they weren't immortal, then there wouldn't be my favorite part of this game: the beautiful, well written "A Thousand Years of Dreams" that adds so much depth to the characters of this game. I love this game, probably one of the most underrated games ever. In Final Fantasy 10, Auron is already dead, yet he "died" in battles. Tidus was a dream of the fayth that "died" as well in battle.

  • square enix is the shit most of the Square Enix games are ok are great i mean cmon does star ocean not rock your socks? :]

  • this game is so great!

  • whoa im sorry people, lol

    i didnt mean to offend anyone of you

    but i mean its the same fighting style and stuff

  • its not a copy. its the same creator. And even if it was a copy i still loved the game

  • man, the creator of lost oddyssey is the same as the final fantasy series (Sakaguchi)

  • This game is made by Square Enix...

    Square Enix MADE FINAL FANTASY.

  • umm no is made by mistwalker

  • Wrong, Square Soft Did, Up Until 10 Or Something.

  • I so fucking agree. Make me puke why dontcha., Tetsuya.

  • So you hate every character design from FF7, FF8, KH, KH2, And every damn spinoff ever created for Final Fantasy 7? Awesome. Someone agrees.

  • KH/2 of course, goes without saying really. FF8 a little less than 7 though. I find most of his stuff is typical of the fantasy genre, lil borin, even ugly.

    Although not denieing the greatness of the games eh

  • Have you seen the Dirge Of Cerberus designs? He put a fucking jock strap on a dudes face.

  • Lol....? Wow...Ill be sure to check that one out lmao.

  • What About FF9 - Come On, That One Was Unique! Right? ....Right>>>?

  • is this game really good??? please respond

  • yup, if you really like classic RPG then buy it

  • Four cds

  • four dual layer right?

  • how many disc does lost odyssey have?

  • Four.

  • is it allways in japenese

  • no, you pick at the beginning

  • thIs gamEs stOry iS tops

  • great music

  • the price per cd man,ps1 cds cost not even a dollar per cd here

    but for xbox 360 it cost around 3 dollar

    big difference man..

    where do u live anyway?lol

  • that made no sense at all...the game is now 30 dollars new at eb games if price per disc is what worries you..

  • And wheres the problem with that? Are you planning to burn that game or what? rofl..

  • n matter wat is this game in japanese like can u change the settings

  • Then why did you buy it???

  • Because i was stupid,

    It was $25, i thought, "man, what a deal!".

    I read reviews from reputable resources, they all liked it.

    But then again, they all liked Final Fantasy, and random battles are peachy keen with them.

    You might think after great games like Mass effect would give the japnese gaming public ideas on how to make a great combat system, but they just seem to love same, old tired formula.

  • i actually plan on buying this game because of the 'same, old tired forumla'. i tried FF12 and it sucked hard. I prefer 'turn-based' combat fighting.

  • FF12 didn't suck, you just weren't competent enough to use the new system. Sorry.

  • i was a huge fan of running in circles during a fight to get MP back.

  • Well, that's true in a sense.

    Everyone has their favorite game mechanic.

  • Damn, this game alone makes me want to purchause Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Final Fantasy 7 is still to this date the best and most emotional game I have ever played. I am looking for a similar experience or even a better one, this game seems to have the spirit of FF 7. Maybe not so strange as some of the makers who made Lost Odyssey also worked on Square Enix with the previous FF games. Gamemusic made by Nobuo Uematsu is great as usual :D

  • It's like older FF O_o? well yeah older FF is more in the style of the middle ages with knights and all so in that point yeah but the charadesign reminds me of FF11

  • great game, got it 2 days ago and already played 20 hours :) anyway. i don't understand why some ppl don't appreciate that game, arguing it is devirative (final fantasy...). yes, it IS like the older FF and that's good. many ppl complain why newer FF aren't like the older ones, but if the inventor creates a new one (=this) ppl complain... stupid folks. for me a console rpg must be like this (or FF6,7...).

  • I agree...ppl are never happy and can do nothing else but bitchbitchbitch...i just bought this game today actually...still havnt played yet! but im gonna do it soon...hope i like it as much as i liked the FF games.

  • i agree. this game is great, this and mass effect are the 2 i play the most

  • he had to make sure he looked good at 38 seconds.

  • i thought this game was hot... ot sucks if it goes into battle mode =/ ruined my dreams...

  • looks different...

  • i got stuck a long time ago on this game, now im restarding it and beating it....great game..

  • i got this game yesterday and its great ^^

  • dude the FF debate will go on forever. its all a matter of opinion.

    all the games r good. (well imo bar X-2)

  • the deer looking thing kinda sounds like the zombies on half life 2

  • The best final fantasy was 6.

  • u know .. if u play final 2 final 7 and final tactics till the end ,.. im sureeeeee ull love it !

  • Yeah, I agree with KaleKatsura, Lost Oddysey is still great though and holds it own.

  • something really stupid is that today this morning my friend got it and then just because he did not get far in the game he went back and returned it for N3 99 knights i mean that is a a good game and all but this is a good game aswell

  • Lost odyssey >>>>>>>> N3

    Seriously, N3 has cheap enemies that take off all your health in one move!

  • lol

  • god i hate random encounters

  • Anyone know if this game will be transferred to PS3?

  • Very unlikely, published by microsoft.

  • Ah that sucks.

  • Nope, just another reason why the 360 is the best system out there, This game is freakin amazing, Favorite game of all time!

  • It's a good system, I wouldn't call it the best. Im a PS3 man lol. But I do play my cousin's 360 when I chill with him, he and I hit up some Gears of War and Halo 3.

  • no i dont thik so. i got a 360. but it would be cool for ps3 too wouldnt it?

  • Yes it would. Maybe it will be transferred to PS3, because BioShock is.

  • Nope, Mistwalker probably won't release LO for PS3.

  • i just got this game today it looks awesome some1 plz tell me will it be worthh the 35 dollars i paid 4 it :P ill probably play a liitle live to my name is lunardream95

  • Kaim: GUESS WE HAVE NO CHOICE!!!!!

    LOL XD his voice cracks me up xD lololl

  • does this game has world map were trees are smaller and mountains are the character's size? like in the old days.. =D

  • Kind of, there is a world map, but you can only travel in it by air or by sea, then when you reach land you pick from a list where you wanna go to!

  • Cool, Ima go buy it soon then ^_^ and im a fan of FF always was :P But never could play the newest version cuz i didnt had ps2:) Thanks for you're answer

  • Guys is it worth to buy this game???

  • Definitely. If you are a fan of RPG's, you should love it. I won't lie, it's VERY traditional - completely turn-based, random battles, can be quite challenging at times, but that's what I LOVE about it - if you are a fan of the FF series, give it a try, you should like it.

  • Agreed. Even moreso if your a fan of the Original (and imo, Best) Final Fantasys. And Yeah, it does get hard, Espically toward the end when your going after the hidden bosses (Which you need to be about level 99 to kill fairly easily)

  • great game loved all of it from start to finish

  • main characters are supposed to be young....

    kaim is like..30 but anyway nice game..

  • That's actually quite young, it sucks when they're too young because those kind of RPGs tend to turn out too kiddie or just made for teenagers...that's why I prefer Final Fantasy and more "serious" jRPGs.

  • Kinda like the entire cast of FFVII foreward. Everyone just seemed way too young for my tastes, That, And I got tired of Sephiroth going around crying about how his momma never loved him or some stupid crap like that.

    Seriously though, the only characters I've liked from 7 onwards were Barret, Cid, Coral, and Auron.

  • 1000....He's 1000 at least...

  • well chronoclogicly yea =D

  • Sakaguchi has gone senile, he should just retire =_=

  • this was a disapointment to me thought it would be kinda like the old ff but its great thought i liekd it

  • This Game Is So Fucking Hard I'm On The Bit Where Gohtza Gets Destroyed By Urthra And u

    U Are Jansen And Queen Ming Trying 2 Find Kaim And Sarah I Don't Know Wot 2 Fucking Do Can Somebody Plz Help?

  • You might want to post spoiler warnings...

  • This is a next-gen classic rpg only us who have played since the first FF now that a turn based rpg is fun as hell.

  • cool the battle looks similar to FFX what with the bar showing who's turn is next

  • This looks like a mix of onimusha and final fantasy. Now i really want it cus i love both of those.

  • this is an xbox 360 exclusive :D now i feel sorry for people with ps3.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4 owns this game sadly..

  • How can you compare the two?

  • Yeah but Gears of War 2 Superowns MGS4 ;)

  • only a rookie in games would say that..

  • you cant say that till its out, and dont even try and play me like i like MGS4 i own a 360 not ps3, all im saying is that you cant judge that until its out.

  • another rookie

  • mgs has more years in thata business that your shit of gears of war, stupid rookies

  • id rather have one good game, than a series of incredibly boring sequels.

  • mgs is not boring, in any case think what you want, rookie

  • haha, i will because its my opinion, it belongs to me, noob.

  • Actually, As much as I like the story of MGS, I'd rather sit and PLAY a game than just move from screen to screen watching a bunch of FMV's that tell the story instead of allowing me to interact within it.

  • Yes, its been around longer, but that doesnt necissarily make it a better game, I mean, look at the newer final fantasys. They've went down hill since 7.

  • FF9 and FFX were good.

  • (sequel to my last lines)

    If you want to do stupid online fantasy games go do WoW and ruin ur life but please dont ruin final fantasy with putting an online function on it

  • never played lost odyssey then i guess.... and you are insulting final fantasy also with this because the makers of final fantasy made this game.... and tbh i like this game alot... it makes me forget ffx and ffx-2 when i sold my ps2.... but 1 good thing!!!

    FF 13 IS GOING 360!!!!!!!!! i am so happy with that :D now the 360 doesnt have any downsizes anymore on game variety.

    We did had ff 11 but tbh.... i play final fantasy games (and also lost odyssey) for the story line.. and the gameplay

  • This Game Is The Best Game Ive Played For The Xbox So Far...

    The Story Line Is Amazing!

    Gameplay Is Stunning!

    If You Like Final Fantasy, Buy It!

    Im Almost Finished The 4th Disk, Ive Played For About 35 Hours, The Game Isnt Hard, A Few Boss Battles Are, But Just Grind Out A Few More Levels And You Will Breeze Through The Game, From Level 30 To Level 50, It Took About2 Hours To Get 20 Levels! This Made The Rest Of The Game Easy, But Once You Get To Where You Should Be About That Level Its fun!

  • I find it a bit boring.. to easy puzzles and too much movies and dreams.

    the gameplay is an RPG so not much to talk about it.Good Game but FF Works better.

  • turn based battles are very funny. well what is RPG games about?? strategi and tactics of cours. and turn based has always been the best way of doing that. anyway, in this game the battles are very cool.

  • I got this game for free along with halo 3 with my xbox... and I find it pretty boring because I basically like fast paced games, not turn based games.

  • same here i find it really slow, i bought it cause it looked cool. i need a better game like oblivion cause thats a relly gd game

  • I want to play it again it was so cool ^^

  • Is it me, or this gameplay is too slow for today's games.

    Plus, Is the gameplay is base of Final Fantasy V?

    I haven't play it or Xbox360.

  • menu-driven combat is the heart of most rpg games

    you play for the story anyway, if you want action play a hack and slash

  • yah the story is all that really matters........look at the best rpg ever ff7 its almost exactly the same.......and like the guy said if you want a fast pointless game play DMC4 or something

  • I know the story matters. I'm going get the game in the xbox. The story is really good but very sad.

  • GOTTA LOVE CLASSIC ROLE PLAYING RANDOM BATTLE GAMEPLAY FUCK YEAH BABY!!!!11111eleven1111

  • I've been looking through videos for FInal Fantasy XIII....and the 'fans' want this kindo of gameplay. Due to the negative comments on this video...I assume you guys dont! :)

    They complain how square hasn't the turn base...it's shit! get over ATB.

  • The last turn based RPG I could actually withstand was Pokemon for Gameboy...I don't know If I'll be getting this game after all :(

  • this is the same random encounter turn based shit ive seen for the past 20 years
