Official North American Lost Odyssey Thread of Crappy US Cases
#1
 Background Info Lost Odyssey is a Japanese turn based RPG produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi(creator of Final Fantasy) and developed by Feel Plus and Mistwalker(Blue Dragon). The Feel Plus team is made up former members of Nautilus, known for the Shadow Hearts games on the PS2. Character designs are by famed manga artist Takehiko Inoue(Slam Dunk). Music is by famous Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. Another noteworthy fact is the game features mini text based stories by Kiyoshi Shigematsu. Known as the The Thousand Years Dreams, these segments in the game are not voiced and are meant to detail the back story of the games immortal characters. The game is being published worldwide by Microsoft Game Studios and uses Unreal Engine 3.0. The US release is February 12, 2008, with a Euro release on the 29th according to wiki. The game ships on 4 disc with a length estimated at around 50 hours. Hironobu Sakaguchi Wiki Takehiko Inoue Wiki Nobuo Uetmatsu Wiki Lost Odyssey Wiki Story Info Lost Odyssey takes place in a world on the brink of an industrial revolution but magic is still common place. The story focuses on Kaim, an immortal who has lived for 1000's of years. The story will takes through Kaim's journey as we see the effects of actually living for a 1000 years. Gameplay Info The game's gameplay has been noted as being similar to FFX. Its also been noted that it takes elements of Shadow Heart's Judgment Ring system. In battle the game uses a special trigger system, meaning pressing the right trigger button when the 2 on screen circles overlap increases the success of your attack. Equipment also effects what a successful "trigging" can do. Outside of battle though it seems to be your typical JRPG. Though, in an effort to decrease grinding, dungeons have a level cap.

I got this game preordered from walmart.com
I took the standard delivery. so i'll get it a week after it's release  It gives me time to hear about the impression if it has improved from the JP version [doubt it] and then i'll decide to keep the game or not. [most likely keep since i want to say i bought a 360 game] |

I like the cut of the ad, and I love the song, but I like the Remixed one I saw on Youtube best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA1Q0_ZxKZc
I'd like to see the 30 second cut of the official one though. Too bad I don't watch tv. |

Ok I seem to have it all fixed right now.
I'm really bad at spelling but it should be better now. Since it was the last thing I fixed. Um I don't have photoshop so I just made a banner in paint. I'm really bad at that kinda stuff, so if someone has a banner please send it to me. I'm really sorry for the crappy beginning and lame battle system write up. |

IGN AU review is up - 8.0. http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/849/849907p1.html
8.0 Presentation The nondescript menu system is wholly JRPG in tradition. Clean, effective, easy to follow. Overall, the game also keeps UI to a minimum. 9.0 Graphics Outstanding almost every respect - art direction, animation, textures, lighting. It is, unfortunately, hampered by framerate and screen-tearing. 7.0 Sound Although the voice-acting is mostly solid, the score is forgettable. The environmental audio is excellent, however. 7.5 Gameplay It all works - despite AI and balancing issues - but the real problem isn't the gameplay itself, but the concepts behind. It's all been done before. 9.0 Lasting Appeal It's monsterously large, coming on four DVDs and more hours than is probably healthy - which is a good thing for JRPG fans. There's a lot of gameplay for your buck. 8.0 OVERALL I guess the ordinary IGN review goes up in a couple of hours. Last edited by Logical Disconnect : 02-06-2008 at 05:44 AM. Reason: Link |

Oh Goddamit. This whole situation is entirely pissing me off. I am the type that needs to play his anticipated games on day one or else I go crazy with anticipation and restlessness.
My dumbass cousin put his God of War game in my game case during Christmas vacation. I have no CLUE why he did this because it was obviously MY CASE. He doesn't even have a universal game case like I do. I left my 360 brick/plug at home because I didn't have enough room to bring it along with me. That shit takes up too much goddamn room. So I had my mom ship me my stuff. Turns out my mom can't read and only sent the brick. Now she's telling me she won't send me my plug until I have sent the Shit of War and he receives it. It's impossible to do this in one week. Lost Odyssey comes out next fucking week. I'm going to steal someone's plug or something, because I'm certainly not paying 100 fucking bucks over it. |

I saw a add on Adult Swim last night.
I hope to get it on the 12th but I need $30 to finnish of my pre-order. If I get it though, I will be unable to play as I just recently sent my 360 in because of the RROD. I've been hyped for this game ever since the first trailer. It just looks awesome. |
