Afterschool Boy sounds like a pedo kidnapping schoolboys sim.
The Lost Odyssey scans are great. They finally reveal more information about the gameplay and music. Here are some highlights:
- Only mortal characters gain new skills as they level up, but the immortal characters rely on a "skill link" system to gain the skills of the mortal characters.
- There are up to 6 skill slots, so you have to pick and choose to customize each character.
- As you use skills, they get more powerful for that character.
- When you equip rings and accessories, they can add special things to your attacks. The special element will be triggered if you get a Perfect on the combat ring timing.
- Rings are crafted using materials you get from beating normal enemies. There are tons of crafting possibilities affecting everything from damage, elemental attacks, defense, critical rate, stealing, etc.
- All equipment changes are visible in all scenes except in movies. Sakaguchi was saying how it would be silly if a character had a nekomimi (cat ears) on during a serious scene.
- The world map in the game seems to be a map where you select locations from a list, similar to FFX and FFX-2.
- Uematsu composed over 50 tracks for Lost Odyssey, and used a variety of instruments for the score.
- There are 3 vocal songs in the game, all lyrics written by Sakaguchi. Two of them are in English.
- More details on the music and other stuff will be revealed at the Lost Odyssey Premiere event on 19 Nov.

Uemetsu looks like a japanese super mario
ring system seems cool
It seems to be shaping up to a nice refinement of the traditional formula... I cant wait to see how square will try to mix things up for FFXIII

Wait like, from an airship right? Like FFX it has an overworld that connects everything, right?duckroll said:The Lost Odyssey scans are great. They finally reveal more information about the gameplay and music. Here are some highlights:

oops my bad...yeah, probably just like FFX...which is a shame
I really want a seemless world like in DQ8...but I doubt even FFXIII will have this given the graphics they are going for...
jj984jj said:
That's what we can assume, since it would be weird if you could just teleport from one end of the world to the other end. It's not really explained though, they just show the screenshot without actual details. But since all the different fields in the game are listed, and based on the demo, I would say yes, it's all connected.

hmmm, I thought they said there was an overworld as well...couldn't this just be a quick relocation map
jj984jj said:Ah ok, good. I'd be disappointed if locations just opened up after a while.
Well, I don't think locations just open up "after a while" in that sense. It's just that there's no seamless world like in FFX and FFXII. Locations are still connected, but it's more like, say you're in Area A. You move to Area B, which is maybe a dungeon. Then you go into the dungeon and come out in Area C. Then there's a cutscene where you get led to Area D which is somewhere else in the world. From Area D you'll be able to exit to Area E, but at the same time I guess Area A to D will all be available on the world map screen then, since you've already visited them. Just a hunch.
Something that Sakaguchi mentioned in the interview suddenly got my attention. He said that after Katsuhisa Higuchi joined the staff on LO, he helped add a ton of depth into the game's battles. Everything from the enemy AI routines, to the balance of the skills and rings, to boss battles and battle depth was improved or contributed by his experience.
Katsuhisa Higuchi is the battle prgrammer for FF3-5, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Chrono Cross and the battle programmer and battle director (battle system, balance, concept) for FFXI.

Yeah, just saw that now and was gonna change my post! I just received a copy of I+II Eternal PC in the mail, probably this weekend I'm gonna apply the English patch and play, woo.
Like ethelred said a while ago, I'd much rather see re-releases of IV and V, they could've done something like a multi pack and put both Dawn of Ys and Mask of the Sun on a single cartridge. I'm really interested in playing through V in English, can't wait for that AGTP patch!
Aeana - how would you rank the Ys games?

And WOWOW, Konami has some adventure games that look awesome for DS coming. Schoolboy Summer and Time Hollow both look to own. Man, I wish all thse games came to America. Stock Trader Shun is sweet, we never got Project Hacker... Someone needs to open a publisher just for these graphic adventures on teh DS.

It's so weird to see the girls like that after watching the Xenoglossia anime. The only ones who seem to be remotely in-character are the main, her childhood friend (is that her? The hair color seems different), the mechanic girl and the twins.

Considering that the highest score any game can get in Famitsu without a moneyhat is 35, I'd say Opoona did alright.sp0rsk said:

38/40 for Mario galaxy is just fine. It is 95/100. Acceptable in any cases. I just hope that western reviewers will not say bullshits.
Mandoric said:
ummm... unexpectedly amazing?
the look of this always tempted (one of perhaps six people here who like it
, but i was near certain it would be an rpg sandbox with little difficulty or genuine depth.do we know anything about the combat system other than the fact that it's turn-based?
also - has this been officially announced for localization? timeframe?

nobody's said a thing about "Dragon Tamer's" absolutley stunning review score? 28/40 is like a 6.5 or a 7, right?
that's the real story, and also the clincher for people who actually shiveagit about Famitsu scores.

It's a repeat of what happened here around Metroid Prime 3's release. Interestingly enough, that thread also only took off after Amir0x gave his enthusiastic ("HOLY FREAKING CRAP") impressions.kottila said:

Wow, I knew that Sony normally tweaked first-party games a little for Japan, between Resistance's reduced blood and Ratchet's eyebrows, but I really wasn't expecting them to make Lair a rhythm-based pet sim and give Bandai the publishing rights for a DS-exclusive version.

Three Kingdoms on the DS sounds delectable. I'd like to give that a try and see how the stylus works with it.
Good to see a bit more of the Lost Odyssey cast.
