You got it wrong Carl....
Gamers who loved old Final Fantasy games agree.
Who cares about western reviews for a japanese game?
If Lost Odyssey was PS3 exclusive, I CAN ASSURE YOU it would be praised as the "game you should buy a PS3 for". Playstation fans (who loved PS1 and PS2 JRPGs) waited so long for a game like this this gen... (Soon FF13).
In 2007, if Lost Odyssey was released on PS3, it would have been called "Game of the Year" by the long-time playstation JRPG userbase...
Sadly for them, it was released on the 360. So instead of buying a 360 and expand their game collection... they prefered to downgrade the game on forums and stuff... Bitter behavior.
Sad but true.
Brand loyalty creates injustice.
