Those were no "Minor" framerate drops or stuttering issues. The game would litterally go to a crawl while just running from zone to zone. Load time to get to a battle clocked in OVER A MINUTE! more than once. Frame tearing as well quite often and video cutscenes skipped like a bad record.

WTF? I finished the game and barely knew of any tech problems until the internet started abiout them. Game ran fine for me.

I said it when it released and I stand by it now. Lost Odyssey was an exceptional RPG. The frame issues were minor. Usually a small drop at the start of some battles and smooth there after. The simple fact of the matter is this. If Lost Oddyssey was titled Final Fantasy it would 90% + Metacritic score.

Although I think its unlikely, I still hope for a sequel LO. Although FFXIII will surely pass it, LO is the best selling JRPG in the West. There is a whole another world were Kaim, Seth, Sarah, and Ming come from thats talked about but never explored. It would be nice to for an LO2 to take place there with Seth as the lead or a major character in the game.

That is assuredly TRUE. Lost Odyssey was toated as "Final Fantasy Esque game, created by Ex-SE lead Sakaguchi". I believe that a sizable amount of its sells was purely due to this notion.

We also see this with Last Remnant, that game shouldn't have even gotten the half a mill it got in sales, but SE name was on the box and it looked pretty.

It reminds me how Prototype was selling on the notion it was "Similar to Infamous, for anyone who doesnt have a PS3", that aggrevated me so much watching my fellow employees sell it as such(Which we were actually directed to do).

Same thing going on with Dante's Inferno in correlation to God of War III as we speak.
