I know some people like it here

Edit: For Gold members! and it's backward compatible with Xbox one

 

[MaximumSpider]

This is the beginning
Here's where it all gets started

 

[DarkLegion]

For gold members it seems? $19.99 non gold

 

[LewieP]

Should probably mention only for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

Edit: UK sale price is £7.49.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Fear and awe in your eyes, showing you what chickens see.

 

[PensivePen]

For gold members only. That's unfortunate, I own a physical copy, but would have picked it up digitally as well just for convenience at 10 bucks.

 

[FairXchange]

Thanks OP, just grabbed it. Amazing that I finally have Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon after all these years.

 

[Cormano]

Does it work with X1? I dont have an X360.

 

[Snaku]

I'm sure it'll be Games with Gold by the years end, I can wait. Awesome game though.

 

[Drilbit777]

Does it work with X1? I dont have an X360.

Yes its backwards compatible on xbox one

 

[cbrun44]

Bought! I remember buying a physical copy of this for around nine bucks clearance at a local Best Buy. Never played it and ultimately sold it. Looking forward to it as Lost Odyssey was my favorite game of that generation.

 

[mr stroke]

Possibly the best little looking, most boring JRPG of all time

 

[lightskintwin]

I want to get it because I've always wanted to play it, but having a gold subscription, I'm hesitant to buy it because I can see it be part of Games with Gold months from now.

Damn you, you monster.

I won't be able to sleep tonight now. I'll just be lying here on my couch staring at the ceiling, and humming all night.

Love the game. Bought it a couple weeks after it debuted on the digital store for 20 since I was waiting for a sale. I don't feel too bad about it.

 

[Izuna]

Guys, buy it

 

[PrinnyBomb]

I've heard very mixed things about this game, what's Gaf's opinion on it?

 

[nubbe]

BOUGHT

have the physical, but DD is convenient

 

[Tangled Up in Blue]

I've heard very mixed things about this game, what's Gaf's opinion on it?

It has its problems, but it is absolutely worth 10 bucks.

 

[gregor7777]

Easy buy. One of my favorites.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

We still can't use our xbox store credit for 360 games, right?

 

[Synth]

Possibly the best little looking, most boring JRPG of all time

No, that's quite clearly Eternal Sonata.

 

[graywolf323]

We still can't use our xbox store credit for 360 games, right?

only if you use a Xbox 360 to make the purchase

which is pretty much the only reason I keep my 360 hooked up to the tv X-P

Nope

 

[Gray-Fox]

Don't have gold

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Bought. Still have my physical version but it'll be nice to have the digital version as well, especially since it's only $10.

[Unison]

I have Gold, but when I try to buy it from the Xbox One store, it looks like it wants to charge my card....

It says Microsoft Account Balances cannot be used in this purchase channel.

What does that mean?

I just entered a $25 gift card code on my Xbox console and I have a balance but I can't use it here?

What is up with that?

I don't think you can use gift card balances for BC games.

If you can I'd like to know how because I'd get this if so.

I tried using the Xbox One Console, Xbox.com and Microsoft.com stores to buy it...

All wanted to use a credit card, but for some reason the store on my 360 let me pay with my account credit.

Either I'm very stupid or it's just horrible that that isn't integrated across platforms.

 

[dickroach]

no way I can bring myself to buy this, even though I want to. I'm still only like halfway through Lost Odyssey. -_-

the ONLY way you can buy 360 games with store credit is by using an actual Xbox 360 console

it's stupid but that's how they (still) have it set up

 

[Hexer06]

Own it on disc but I bought digital for convenience. Love this and Lost Odyssey!

 

[LOUD915]

Its an incredibly boring slog that doesn't have a compelling storyline or characters.

I wouldn't play through it again if you paid me.

 

[Zolbrod]

No, that's quite clearly Eternal Sonata.

Infinite Undiscovery.

Man, as a JRPG fan I love the effort they put into getting (timed) exclusives on the 360, but so many of them were trash...

[black070]

Sold - £7.49 is a damn good price.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Good-ish JRPG. Certainly worth 10 bucks. I 1000/1000'd it back then which were the hardest 1000 I ever got.

 

[daffy]

i fell asleep during a boss battle back when i rented this from blockbuster

Don't know about you, but I 1000'd it in hard mode.

No, I don't recommend it.

Best id3 tag

 

[Imp the Dimp]

There was no hard mode back when I finished it

 

[Squire]

Does it work with X1? I dont have an X360.

Yes its backwards compatible on xbox one

I think it runs like dogshit though, so there's that.

 

[Theorry]

Lol wut? The XB1 version is so much better then the 360 version.

Lucky you. I actually bought the game especially because of people in this forum gushing over how awesome it was in hard mode.

But I found it a bit too hard, at least until I found out how to grind efficiently at some point in disc 2.

 

[Chinbo37]

I've never played it but a friend of mine asked for rpg recommendation for 360 a couple years ago and I told him to get this.


He got the platinum and said it was a crazy amount of grinding.

 

[cireza]

Great RPG, highly recommended. Already have it (physical)

 

[Kill3r7]

Lost Odyssey is the better of the two. Blue Dragon is a solid although at times boring JRPG. I think I used the rubberband trick to help with the grinding. It also made me realize that Achievements and Trophies are a complete waste of time.

 

[oneida]

uh, since when?
