Oh man, I hope it's actually something good this time. I would love them.

Lost OddesY was good though!!

 

 

No, it really wasn't.

I hear so much praise for it here

It is hands down the best RPG of this generation. And this generation has had its fair share of amazing RPGs: Fallout, Mass Effect, Oblivion. None of those games hold a candle to Lost Odyssey.

And how is that? It doesn't have very impressive gameplay, and even if it did, best RPG would already be a stretch. I prefer Japanese RPGs to western ones, and I would still place Oblivion way above Lost Odyssey.

I was actually very impressed by the gameplay. It reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy X. Your traditional JRPG with a few tweaks here and there. The battle system was pretty sweet, and while the Ring system was not as immersive as they said it would be, I still found it fun. The graphics were gorgeous, and the story was told very nice. I never thought I would enjoy reading in a video game, but 1000 years of dreams changed that for me completely.

It had a siiiiiiiiiiick world map which is something I personally miss from the good old Final Fantasy days.

Grinding was near impossible, which is extremely nice to see in a JRPG. In Lost Odyssey, it was practically impossible to level up your characters to the point of destroying bosses. By making leveling up hard, boss fights actually required strategy.

I don't know, these are the things that made the game a highlight for me. Obviousley when I say best RPG of this generation hands down, I mean in my opinnion. Critically, Lost Odyssey was not recieved anywhere near as well as the games I listed. But personally, it ranks above all of them for me.
