Gamersyde finally managed to get their hands on the pre-TGS Microsoft conference stream, and here comes the fifteen minutes long presentation of Lost Odyssey, performed by Sakaguchi himself.
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.
Will look so mutch bether ...
But thus game realy looks good 2...
Butt final fantasy on ps3 later will make the world dropp the mouth to the floor i think,, this game is still only on 1 dvd .. don`t forgett that
this game is gonna be soo sick....
I wish I understood Japanese as I had no idea what the hell was going on! Looks like a fun game though, very similar to the original final fantasys in style and story. I hate random battles though, hopefully these ones will be fun!
THIS GAME IS NOTHING TO FF
Lost Odyssey looks great. I'm enjoying Blue Dragon, but the area I think it needs more tweaking in is difficulty and It appears that LO doesn't suffer from over easy enemies. LO looks like a definite buy for me. FF13 also looks great and I'll want to get that too but didn't they push it back to 2009 or something? Regardless, I'm in rpg heaven this winter.
