Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360) Official Japanese Release Thread

Blim, why not make a comparison video between this and the old 2006 demo?

it would be fun!

It would really not be worth the trouble. Just believe that the demo was total shit and it's 30 times better now.
 
The combat timing Circle is available to use, I just sucked in the early part of the game...my 360 crashing every 10 minutes didn't help. In the later videos you'll see the combat circle in affect.

First 10 minutes video is UP :D

DjMizuhara really struggled with that one, so let's all thank him :)
Anyway, it's mostly the same stuff as last year's demo, with some optimizations and tweaks of course.
I need this game. Watching that vid just made the wait a bunch more painful and i love/hate blim for it.

Also I think i'll be playing this with Japanese VA since i love kaim's jpn voice actor and am not so keen on this English one.

Maybe I will, but first play-asia has to send me the game :(

hmm...i was thinking of editing DjMizuhara's video with the old one, you know.

or is that not possible? i don't know shit about this :lol

i know this will be hard on you, but best way to fix your console for free is killing it with 3RROD and sending it under the 3 year warranty :(

but in the mean time, as long as it still works, then it doesn't matter!

McDragon, why not just open youtube and look for the old demo, minimize the page, and watch it aside with the new footage. :p

I have Blim's video (the 2 parts in HD).

i was thinking they would be better with them side by side (like Blim's AC comparison video).

but you know what, i will just do what you said.

this should be fun.

That demo video was captured with my old capture hardware though, so don't use it for graphical comparisons.

That was old?

it sure looked impressive to me!
 
So I guess they're using 2 different types of CG? The one in the intro video has the Kaim that looks completely different from the in-game version in terms of facial structure. Then they have the CG that uses in-game assets where Kaim looks pretty much the same as the in-game model.
 
From watching that ten minute video all I can say is that the battle music is fucking great, and that the load times from into and out of battle don't seem bad at all.

The intro movie was done by ROBOT, a long time ago I guess.

Is there a demo of this up on Live for Japanese users?

If so can I change my region and DL it? :D

There is no demo as far as i know.

and even if there was a demo, yes you can make a new account and download it, but remember! no free demos for silver users untill a week!
 
Thanks blim. :)

The segment where Kaim is in the train graphically looks awesome. The self-shadows are nice and aren't jaggified.

Damn, foes still die in one hit wtf!? :/

I hope it's only this easy in the beginning.

which reminds me, is there a hard option from the start? I'm still downloading the video so i don't know.
 
-I think the graphics look really stunning. It's obvious the game is going to be very CG heavy.
-I think the music sounds fantastic, except for the fanfare, which I think seems inappropriate given the tone of the rest of the music, lol.
-The battles so far were fairly simplistic. Obviously first ten minutes. But only has one command.
-The world map seems interesting. I'm not sure how much interactivity there is.
-I think the soldiers look retarded.

I'm excited for this one.
