Sounds good. Very lighthearted adventure-y in the Zelda style. Almost Western(cowboys 'n shit)-like.

Very pretty and epic -- yet it's got a Dragon Quest feel, almost. It works, and I dig it.
I really anticipate his work on these Mistwalker titles

hmmmm. *re-reads*
My comprehension sucks, or the 3:00 AM effect is kicking in and I should go to sleep this very second. Oh well, thanks for the heads up
It's game over for Xbox in Japan and this game isn't going to change anything. Even DQ9 wouldn't be able to change anything, quite the contrary, I think the Xbox would drag the games sales down to Dead or Alive levels.
With that out of the way...
I can't wait to get my hands on this game

Just this game? No, of course not. Lots these kinds of games? Maybe. I mean there has to be a point where the japanese videogamers change their attitude from "Oh, I can't play this cos it's on the X360" to "Hey, X360 has a nice amount of games that I'd like to play. Maybe I should think about buying it." I'm just wondering how much money MS is willing to invest to get to that point.

I don't think any game can change the situation from Japan, except perhaps if Microsoft got a true, forever exclusivity for all the major franchises the japanese follow, like WE or FF or DQ.
But as long as these games like Lost Odyssey manage to be really succesful in the us and europe, it ll be alright, right?

Theres degrees of failure above where they currently are that would still be a major improvement, hopefully games like this will help 360 reach those levels of failure at least. Cause right now it seems like people out there dont even consider purchasing it if the right game comes along, they just dont care. And untill they get people at least receptive to the idea of buying a 360 they wont get any of the deals with developers which have helped them compete in Europe and NA...what they are having to do now, directly fund any japanese software they want, doesnt seem sustainable or sensible.

one game alone definitely can't "save" the 360 in japan, but a few good or great games coupled together, especially RPG's, may have a shot at moving systems at a respectable pace, finally. It'll be interesting to see if any of these upcoming 360 games are "killer apps" and how the Japanese market reacts.

duckroll said:Erm, Microsoft is only involved in 3 of those games. Not only is Cry On not related to MS in anyway, but it's also not even in actual development yet. Late 2007 or early 2008 at best.
dont hurt meis duckroll, I remember him saying P3 was going to be crap and that he was going to skip it because the artwork looked atrocious when it was first shown, he is always pessimistic and he has been like that with anything relating Mistwalker.FateBreaker said:
duckroll no offense but I have to get that out of my chest! <3

I found this Lost Odyssey trailer on my pc from a few months back. It's from xboxyde but it's not there anymore. I haven't found this on any other site so I uploaded it to youtube. It seems like a CGI fight sequence. It's pretty cool! Watch it!

Seems to me MGS Japan's actually targeting each notable new RPG after the established major RPGs of Japan...MrMeltdown said:
Blue Dragon = Dragon Quest substitute
Lost Odyssey = Final Fantasy substitute
Infinite Undiscovery = Zelda no Densetsu substitute
Trusty Bell = Tales of substitute
Cry-On = Kingdom Hearts substitute

hmmm ... cool!
Heh, a tri-Ace Zelda? Well I never ..
And yeah, I have a feeling Chopin's Dream is going to be renamed to a Tales of.
It'd be awesome if these new games could meet those games in terms of quality. Though Infinite Undiscovery looks more like Star Ocean meets Radiata Stories to me, nothing like Zelda. Fable is more like Zelda. Don't know about the KH substitute either.jarrod said:
Lost Odyssey is my personal reason to buy an X360. Sakaguchi back where he belongs, designing games, makes me as happy as any event in the recent history of gaming.
PS360 for the gamer win. Thats right, $1K on hardware alone! Good thing I'm looking at a new job working for a bank. If I don't make manager by fall '07 I'll have to resort to knocking it off! :lol

ahh i really wish there was a screen or some concept art somewhere. *looks above * that was fast
The theme of Cry On is tears, both of sadness and joy. Players will take control of main character Sally in this action adventure, working through scenarios that promise an emotional response.
Cry On takes place in a world where people live amongst giant sand creatures. Sally is in the company of one of them, a creature named Bogle, and fights alongside it. Although normally tiny, Bogle can transform into a giant beast to fight. He'll do so when Sally is in danger. The game promises to give players the perspective not just of Sally, but of Bogle as well. The game will play out with portions from both characters' perspectives.
Cry On features former Final Fantasy mastermind Hironobu Sakaguchi as producer and scenario writer, with composing partner Nobuo Uematsu's music.

Isn't Cry-On a puzle game, in which you use the golem to solve puzzles?jarrod said:

It doesnt sound like a puzzle game it sounds like.. something that isnt a puzzle game. But might have puzzles in it? I am not sure. Gamespot lists it as an RPG but it doesnt sound like that either.
from ign
"Gameplay will take different forms depending on which character you're controlling. Sakaguchi wants to give the game more of a puzzle/RPG focus when playing as Sally, as he doesn't want her to wield a sword. The action will come when players use Bogle. In terms of division of play time between the two characters, we can expect 15 minutes of Sally time, to finish off with a minute of time with the Bogle.
Even when playing as the Bogle, Cry On isn't a pure action game. The game is focused on the scenarios which are being crafted by Sakaguchi himself. Sakaguchi mentions a couple of possible situations: saving people as part of the storyline and using Bogle to raise a ship out of the water.
Visually, the game will use cell shading for its visuals, although Sakaguchi is quick to point out that it's not the kind of cell shading we're used to seeing. At the game's unveiling this past week, publisher AQ Interactive showed a trailer for the title featuring what many believed to be hand-drawn animation resembling a Miyazaki movie. The animation was actually computer generated, and Sakaguchi is promising a final game that looks quite similar to it."
