  • IMO, this game felt unfinished. Its too short for a JRPG, you can't control other characters, and many characters lack development. Its fun, but it didn't really impress me much, there are better RPGs out there.

  • i kinda want to buy this now :O

  • I freaking love the way you reviewed this! You tackled each thing and said the goods and bads instead of talking quickly about each one, and then doing a verdict.

  • Played this game last year.

  • I've just re-bought this game, and bought Lost Odyssey too... both are fucking awesome. Also, subbed to you :)

  • Star ocean kinda sucked...alot different than what i saw in reviews. So square enix...WHERES KINGDOM HEARTS 3 :'(

  • @Link10103 And Versus 13 :( made by the same people and same combat system

  • @Link10103 I think square is done with the whole 13 year old saving the cosmos thing.

  • woah, this game Looks cool

  • About get it now

  • I loved this game :DDD Shame i sold my xbox :(

  • I beat this in 09 after i jacked it from the swampmeet xD it was $50 and i had no money! I remeber likeing this game, i think ima get it again.....well actually pay for it this time

  • 5 seconds into this guys vid and i subscribed!!!

  • @TheCelticmaori NICE

  • Great review! Helped me decide on my next JRPG:D

    And all future JRPGs should always, under any surcumstances come with the full Japanese dialogue. Always!

  • y big turn off for getting this game is that you can only control 1 character =/

  • the thing about armor not changing his looks is soooo annoying, they should do something about that

  • @potatopac They change around the end of disc 1. I some what agree with you at the same time I like it. Personally I love change and too look as badass as possible, but on a more realistic note it is not like they go to a mall and buy new threads lol. So yea.

  • Wana know something awesome? On some of these games that are RPGs that Zeit reviews, i actually pay attention and try to remember what he says. Helps me alot at work when im trying to talk to a customer about a game. ( I work at GameStop ). so thanks mate :)

  • im so glad that this game is in real time.

  • Um Tri-Ace developed these games(Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean), you know? Nothing personal, it just annoys me when people Square Enix made it, when they haven't made a good game since Final Fantasy VI.

  • @elric6 In your opinion

  • @numbah82 True, it is in my opinion and I'm going to stand by it. Square Enix isn't any good anymore. Aside from the occasional title here and there, like maybe one or two games since.

  • @elric6 And even those aren't that good.

  • This is the best Action-RPG I have played on Xbox 360. :)

  • @RemyLanslots Not an Action-RPG just an RPG

  • No, I'm pretty sure it's an Action RPG. It's and RPG, sure, but that's too broad a term so he placed it in the Action-RPG sub genre. There' s nothing wrong with that.

  • Agreed. This game is awesome, and I too cannot put it down. Couple gripes would be the virtually reward-less side quests and the fact that you can't switch out party members on the fly, unless you're in a town. Annoying when you need to smash a boulder.

  • femanin wussy flute player XD lmao such true words have never been spoken.......but seriously he gets better further along

  • what do you think of resonance of fate???

  • Completely underrated. It's a good game though.

  • Thank God for Gamefly.. I've just watched five reviews of yours, and have added five games to my Game Q now..

    You sir, have earned another subscriber!

  • question Zeitgeist,

    do you ever actually go back and play games 100%, doing sidequests n stuff.

    you always say you finish games quickly without doing any extra work so i'm wondering

  • nice review but why a german username?

  • Man, this is way better than Ocean Star: The Last Hope.

  • @MakeYourself1987 no its not.

  • @hotshahzrulz It was a personal opinion. I butchered the title right there to show how much I didn't like it haha. Star Ocean: TLH wasn't that great to me.

  • i just got it bout a week ago but i been playing tekken 6 so much i couldnt pick it up but i am soon, i also want the new final fantasy that before the brand new one comes out for 360 in like 2 months

  • Nice review, I love the story & the game!

  • Blarg, this looks like a game I'd really enjoy. Too bad it's for the 360.

  • How did you find the item management in the game? I heard that you have to constantly buy and assign new gear for over a dozen characters and keep track of them all the time.

  • New YouTube layout ruined the corner annotiations. That sucks :P

  • i'll give this a chance.

  • this game looks really really good.

    they lost me at only playing with one char (technically) and no co-op ;_;

  • So, you're saying this game is worth $10.96 with free shipping new at Walmart dot comm?

  • I love and own this game!!

  • this game is amazing, i recommend u to try it

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent review. This convinced me to buy this game.

  • Xbox is way better than ps3 they cant even keep thier system from being hacked.

  • @kennikia2234 look at the little fan boy

  • @LeonGehste yes, you are ^^

  • @kennikia2234 tell me how i am, you claim the 360 is better then the ps3 just because of one incident. they both have ups and downs

  • @LeonGehste it wasnt one incident, they are currently being hacked a second time, and one of these hacks was commited by a highschool student! No security break out has ever happened to xbox live consumers. There is and entire website full on PSN consumer information, unfortunately, i'm not aware of this websites URL. Also if you have a windows 7 computer that supports microsoft, your xboxlive gold membership is completely free. I hope you can still somehow suport your side...

  • @kennikia2234 PSN was hacked once the other incidents were Sony websites completely different servers. The reason why Xbox was never hacked cause they never defended there product Sony try to defend there product from the jack@ss geohot. I have both systems so I'm not sided between them they are both great systems.

  • @LeonGehste your information would be useful if i believed it... i have heard continuesly that Ps was hacked not once but twice. Why shoould i believe you?... Besides, the hackers took so much money that they might as well have hacked much more times.

  • @kennikia2234 well my bad i forgot there was another attack. well still the systems are pretty well good no matter what happened in the past so im just gonna stop before this leads somewhere else

  • @LeonGehste good idea...

  • Im having awful trouble geting into this game. I just beat the first boss (I think?) when your with the girl and two kids. That was a few months ago and I havent played it since but as im watching this im installing the game to my harddrive, im determined to get into it. Everyone is saying it gets very fun which I really hope it does.

    So far, it hasnt been so good :(

  • The ps3s rpg domination? I'm sorry, but the ps3 never dominated in the rpg department. The entire reason I bought an xbox 360 in 2008 was because it was the only system that had rpgs. The ps3 didn't get any until much later, and still to this day has VERY few exclusive rpgs. The 360 and the DS were this gen's rpg consoles.

  • this game is great for 360, but the problem is, it gets laggy when they attack together, tsk tsk

  • Think im going to buy this game soon, is it possible to start from the beginning in a party? Or just after you met those other players...

  • I loved this rpg 360 crapped out wish they would give it the star ocean love and port it to ps3 and the only problem I had with voice acting was I'd watch one cutscene it would be fully voiced get to the next one half the voices would be missing

  • Once you complete the game, is there any free roam? I don't like all that leveling up and then just "Load game" ...?

  • This is one of my favourite rpg's, i brought it when it was released & im still playing it over agsin today :)

  • should i get this or the last reminant????/

  • Ty Zeitgeist finally some one who know a good game one they see one. I love this game i am 20 hours in and i am having so much fun with this game. You are the best reviewer out there man.

  • This is one of the best reviews I've seen for a game in a long time, it was in depth and detailed.

  • I just cannot get the willpower to play this game for a second playthrough. All I pretty much did was stay before entering the Seraphic Gate which had some godly melody and I'd just pause it and listen to the tune.

    Great story, mediocre gameplay, low replay value. If you're an achievement hunter, this is also a game you'd want to stay away since you have to complete the hardest difficulty completely to acquire 1g. Just saying.

  • you hyave my respect sir. Subscribed.

  • "except" to heal you or other people when you ask them to

  • Damn, zeitgeist is much better than ign ^^

    Thx Zeitgeistreview for such good and open-minded reviews!

    Really the best reviewer =)

  • @DaimonTrilogy So subscribe and tell the Internets about it ;-)

  • @ZeitgeistReview We have , sire !

  • thanks for this! a video where i dont hear just negitive comments through out the whole video. and i think this game looks great dont kno how i could of missed this game especially since its by square enix:]

  • so everyone in the group can fight at once, just in separate parties? None of that "Only four of you fight the final boss, the rest of us just watch and eat popcorn"?

  • This game and Neir were freaking amazing and u can get them both for under $15. I love hidden gems.

  • you said 20 to 30 hours of gameplay thats damn pathetic for an rpg

  • my freind got it for 5 dollars used no manual both discs good deal

  • i will now only watch your reviews.

  • Who here clicked on this because it was a video response to a terrible IGNorant review

  • I bought this game about 5 months ago because my friend recomended it to me and it only cost £5 preowned but because I bought a lot of games at the same time i couldn't be bothered playing it but right now because of this review I'm gonna try it lolz tnx so much for the review keep up da gd work :P you just got a sub and thumbs up

  • Just bought this game a few minutes ago, hopefully i'm in for a good time.

    Great review, takes a load of my mind! Time to play! :D

  • I might just get a 360 for this game. All the best, it's 3 years old and price drop significantly. 

  • This game is one of the most under rated RPGs ever created. It's one of the best RPGs I've played in a long time. Sure, it has it's problems, but in my opinion it's a masterpiece. The story is incredible, the characters are interesting and well developed, and the orchestial score is beautiful. Some of the best work Square Enix has done in a while.

  • @melistentodeathmetal Agreed. I just finished the game and wow, what a fantastic game. I haven't been playing rpgs in the last few years as I often find them a little hard to get into. Infinite Undiscovery is no different but I'm glad I gave it a go because as you said, it turned out to be one of the best rpgs I've played. Fantastic story and character development. Extremely satisfying gameplay and mechanics. Only issues are voice sync and some of the voice acting but they can be overlooked.

  • this game is not as fun as he makes it out lol, cant believe he didnt mention the voice sync, the worst i have seen by far

  • i do not understand why a great game like this, did not sold so much?! 

  • @K4inan Uh, it was released before DA:O.

  • @K4inan

    Uhum....fail...

  • @K4inan  LOL

    this was made first...

  • @K4inan lol you are a retard.

  • i love Square Enix games, i loved Star Ocean 4 and i am 150% crack head mode for kingdom hearts! i need my daily fix of RPG! ill pick this game up then try the last remnant :D

  • Too bad this isn't on PS3 ;_;...it seriously lacks on Action RPGs....almost all of the RPGs there are Turn-Based...Thank God for SO4I and \ES

  • I think you should change your name to I love Square Enix games.... this game is good but as you say its so boring at the start it enough to put most people off....

  • @SeriousWalrus I don't love all Square Enix games, but I do typically enjoy their RPGs. And yea, I remember the beginning of this being quite boring. Stick it out, it's gets good.

  • this game reminds me of rogue galaxy

  • I didnt even know this game was anywhere near what it is until I saw this review. I was gonna get Magna Carta 2, but this was much cheaper and I'm enjoying it a lot right now. This review helped me discover a fun game, thanks.

  • @Kunosachiaka Magna Carta 2 is AMAZING,

    just in case you thought otherwise!

  • This game is sooo underrated and so is Noir

  • @shadowvowed187 I agree,this game has so much to do,and lots of features for them WoW players:P enchants,recipes,rare epic gear and such.u can grind to get stronger as well.lots of things to discover as well.

  • @shadowvowed187 if you mean neir then ur crazy i love that game but if u rly did mean this, noir? then sorry im not shur what ur talking about:P

  • How exactly do you control your character in combat?

    Is it sort of hack n slash (i.e. you can create combos using the X and Y buttons, for example). Or is it more like Final Fantasy 12 & 13 where it's real time but you still have to go into menus and stuff?

    Reply please :)

  • @DaysOfCydonia its REAL TIME like HACK AND SLASH....

  • Dinner, dinner, dinner!

  • I love this game. Too bad they probably won't make a sequal...

  • I bought this game after watching your video! Not to ignore that I also like Tri-Ace games in general, but your video helped me figure out what the game would be like. I'm on the 2nd disc and I absolutely love this game, it plays well and after you get used to the controls (which was a short turnaround for me) it becomes rather engaging and substantially fun. Thanks!

  • I'm getting this sometime soon. I had mixed feelings about it too but this review makes it sound so good. Btw undiscovery Isnt a word lol

  • I actually love this kind of design of female characters. It's great when they look 'normal', no too fucking big in the chest and not too fucking big in the ass. Just normal it's fucking perfect. It makes you think you are actually playing with a person, not with a videogame character.

  • shit you make me wanna get an xbox 360 just for this game

  • this game looks fucking boss i bought it from wall mart for 20$

  • This game is one of the best rpgs i have played. I actually fealt feelings for the characters lol

  • @person7357

    LOL! i actually know EXACTLY what you mean!!! hahahaa

  • yea,ur alot betr than the real critics,they always give good games or ones im interested in bad reviews,always bashin it and shit,but i liked ur review,and i just added this game to my buy list

  • how many disk is it

  • @hamsterball789 there are 2 discs

  • Wo this is.. xbox360.....?

  • @NubNubNubbie yea, a huge fail for ps3 i guess !

  • Why!! Why!! WHY!!!! Dude, you spoiled such an important part of the story!!! The least you could have put a spoiler alert on this video! I'm pissed 'cause I am in the middle of the game right now and liked those characters! I know they are sub characters but as with most characters (for me at least), I've come to like them.

  • @cuteboy51 Pardon, it's been a year since I've played this. What did I spoil?

  • @ZeitgeistReview I didn't really want to say because it would further spoil it. (for those who don't know the characters) But I might as well tell. So at 6:13 to 6:34 you have a scene where Capell is kneeling beside Faina and looks quite upset, he then gets up and precedes to hack at a fallen enemy. I by that time, surmised at what had happened here. But the scene goes on with Aya finally stopping Capell from his hacking. Finally at 6:30 to 6:31, Aya puts the final nail in the coffin (to be cont

  • @ZeitgeistReview ( continued from my last comment 'cause I couldn't write it all in one) As I was saying, Aya the final nail in the coffin when at 6:30 to 6:31 she says, "... may still be survivors!!!" ( I didn't mention before but Leif, Faina's little brother, is also dead in this scene) I was enjoying this review up until this point too, bummer... I hope in your future reviews of games you would be more careful in your clips or at the very least, put a spoiler alert on your videos.

  • @cuteboy51 Why are you watching a review of a game you're already playing? Duh.

  • @VelvetKevorkian I was watching it because I wanted to show my friends this game so I watched it too (I couldn't explain the game well so I decided a visual example was better thus the reason I was watching it).

  • Bad voice acting doesn't really bug me in RPGs. I've played through Enchanted Arms twice, and, well, the voice acting isn't great, but the characters were interesting and cool, so it was enough to make it a very enjoyable experience. I'm looking forward to adding another RPG to my collection. Great review. :)

  • i own it and dont get how to play it lol

  • @slasher454 Start over and pay attention to the tutorial ;-)

  • @ZeitgeistReview so is it a good game?

  • @slasher454 Hell yea

  • @slasher454 alright ill try it out :P thanks mate oh got any other names of games i should get and play?

  • the xbox360 have a rpg like FF10 or legend of legaya ?

  • Bought this game because of your review, got it from Ebay. Can't wait to add it to my collection.

  • I played this game for like 7 hours and gave up. but watching this it gave me the urge to play it agian.

  • uhg. I hate voice acting in rpgs if its bad it really makes the game worse for me. I'd rather have subscripts and good background music.

  • xbox live and PSN has ended a good rpgs 

  • @adriel3000 What do you mean?

  • @ZeitgeistReview you not understant? im from brasil, ingles fail kkk let me explain

    the producers make games to play online like call of duty, but rpg is only offline. understand?

  • Wow, This looks amazing, I'm totally going to buy it.

    Thanks for reviewing it! C:

    Am I the only person that likes the SO4 Voice cast? Except Sarah BC she srsly sucked.

    In LUX-PAIN, the same guy who does Faize does Atsuki, the main character, but he sounds SOOO much manlier. lol.

  • @Fakewings18: You might be one of the few... I actually turn some voices off cos they really piss me off. But the voice cast over all was horrendous.

  • the gameplay looks very 2010, but the graphics osmewhat look outdated. some parts of the gfx look nice, but over all i just think this looks a bit like a ps1 game. the ui sucks though

  • Ok I love Infinite udiscovery & I know too the voices are bad but Capell's & sigmunds are awesome & same with Aya & edward..I am a Die hard Fan Of this Game & Yes I believe This game is going in the right direction...GO!!! SIGMUND!! :) & I Hope for a Sequel even if It didn't get enough reviews & Tri Ace & square Enix need to improve on graphics like star ocean & Infinte undiscovery

  • Comment removed

  • whaaat >< you can only control the main character in the story ?

  • Wait, so this was a good game? Everyone said it was bad... I'll give it a try. I need an RPG,

  • @Pheyt14 Hell yea this game was good.

  • @ZeitgeistReview WTF, just went to go buy it... Would have it i kept listening to the game stop guy and never bought it. They are out of stock. lol

  • Sooooo.... pretty much this is looking like the fighting is a updated version of fire emblem?

  • Sigmunds armor is so sick. I need to replay this shit.

  • is this a hack n slash or do u map attacks to certain buttons iv'e wanted to play this for a while but it just never appealed to me. until now of course i need a new game to pla while i wait for some new ones. :P

  • @blaarg001 From what I remember, it's kind of both. It's hack and slash with special attacks.

  • @ZeitgeistReview okie dokie thanks for the information ^.^

  • @blaarg001 It is a hack and slash and I'm really impressed with the job Square Enix did. The battles aren't turned based. You encounter the enemies on map you can run up to them sword drawn and attack head on or stay out of site and have your archer attack from afar engaging the sneak attack for bonus exp and rare drops. All in all this game is awesome :3

  • Totally agree bout the VA pitty they won't seem to learn that, atleast from what ive heard the majority prefers to have Japanese VA in a JRPG. Thank god Japanese VA was available in Fragile Dreams. The 2nd major downside for me except the VA is the fact you can't save just about anywhere, or as ive experience nearly nowhere when the time comes to it. That's rather frustrating x)

  • awesome reviews man keep up the good work :D

  • you should try tales of vesperia :)

  • it sounded great until you said you can only play as capell. definately a negative.

  • @SuperRandomAccount12 Playing as other characters in this game specifically would be a mess. Being kind of open worldish, switching between characters could get confusing.

  • @ZeitgeistReview like FF13?

  • @Pheyt14 No, this game is not like FF13 at all.

  • @ZeitgeistReview oh sorry, I mean uhh the character switching, but I see yea its really not... Did you enjoy this game?

  • We saw the same thing with RoF. It was deemed "good" by the media. Bought it and it turned out to be great. Since this was rated as a mediocre it's probably good.

    Tri-ace seems to have their stuff together.

  • I just wish the game would pause when you open the menu.

  • tri-ace made me buy this game. lol. awesome game

  • I didn't think Capell's voice was that bad, i mean he did sound like a wuss, but you could steal feel the emotion in his voice same with Sigmund, Edward, and Eugene -minus the wuss part. Aya was good as well, but the rest of them were crap, like the twins or Balbagon, "Waa hahahahaa" that got my nerves really bad

  • can you change leader in this game

  • @valttu42 Yes

  • @ZeitgeistReview okay thx

  • might as well buy it

  • I have this one too as well and need to install it an play through it. Many RPG's I need to play on 360.

  • @D10078 Too many RPGS too little time!!!

  • @ZeitgeistReview you are so right !
