RPGamer's Michael Cunningham reports: "An official website for Lost Odyssey has launched. This Japanese-based site features art and information about two of the game's main characters, Kaim Argonar and Seth Balmore. It also offers new screenshots and the E3 movie for viewing. Visitors will also be treated to some offerings from the game's soundtrack, composed by veteran Nobuo Uematsu."
17 years later, it still stands out.
The game was indeed amazing. Great characters, gameplay and story!
But the dream sequences penned by Shigematsu were sublime.
I still remember many of these stories and I have integrated in the past in my D&D campaign many years ago.
Microsoft should have just kept pumping money into these guys. Same with a lot of the other studios... the blundered hard.
Lost Odysee deserved a franchise even though development wasn't smooth
It's not like it has had any competition since 2007. Would really like to own the short stories from it in book form.
The problem with most MS games on 360 was they didn’t make the games they paid for them and that makes you less money in the long run and isn’t something you can continue to do especially with declining sales of consoles. MS should have been starting and growing studios from the beginning but they went for paid games and it leaves them without the knowledge and culture of making games.
It’s quite hard to believe, but Lost Odyssey turns fifteen years old today. A curious product of the time, it has arguably only got better with age - and not just because of what it is, but also what it represents.
The short stories that Kaim collects/remembers are truly emotional. I remember one in particular made my eyes water.
If you've never played this, try to hunt down an original copy, or emulate it. This game was a gem.
I wish there was a remaster. This and Last Story. Sad these games were released on the...wrong platforms...
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
This game has been on the Radar. I'm gonna enjoy this one and Eternal Sonata.
I had to check the site, if anybody into RPG OST's like me, click on the link and click the "Game Info" and listen to that TUNE, in the backround.
Just, beautiful track..I know I'm geeky like that.
Can't wait...Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.
Anyone knows how to rip/record music tracks from Website?
Has been doing many things to garner support in Japan. Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey are all games that Japanese traditionally go ga-ga for. Too bad their blind loyalty to Asian companies does not let them enjoy a 360 (for most).
I agree Gaming is considered Japans National Identity, Gaming is part of life there. Ipods and Levi jeans hardly proves the Japanese are not bias in what they think they are the world leading champions in.
main theme gave me goosebumps...definitely keeping this on the radar...
this game looks awesome
