I have no idea why this is A) a big deal or B) even good. I couldn't even make it through disc one with the stilted dialogue, the badly animated characters and the bland and sometimes awful combat. It wasn't the WORST game I've ever played but it was pretty damn bad. It is especially bad because these days games like Mass Effect and Persona 3 exist, so making a crap RPG isn't as excusable as it was in say the mid 90s when even games like Beyond the Beyond were passable (REALLY early PS1 game for those who don't know it). It wasn't Blue Dragon bad, but it wouldn't have sold even 100,000 copies if it had to compete with PS2 RPGs. Persona 3 is vastly superior despite being a newer "last gen" game. I was actually incredibly disappointed since I do like the Final Fantasy games (except 9 and 12 which were just OK) a lot, but Lost Odyssey isn't even in the same universe much less the same league as even the bad FF games.

I would be far more upset about the so called 360 JRPG bonanza if the games were any good. Maybe tales is the exception to that rule but thats mitigated by Disgaea releasing today which is WAY more interesting to me. Atlus games >>>>>>> Namco Bandai games. There's usually more gameplay in a single Atlus game then in 10 other RPGs combined (and unlike most modern RPGs they actually have some challenge in there!).

Oh, right. Nothing to see here, move along.
