Vgchartz ranking game -- Lost Odyssey!

[hatmoza]

I'm on Disc 3

Never had the chance to go back and finish but I really love it. as soon as my 5 week summer course is over, I'll get back to it.

I'm a sucker for old school RPGs, and this game was a love letter to all us old schoolers in a generation that would become lacking in quality for the genre.

I loved the dreams. They were usually long to read but they always had a twist and a moral to them- acompanied by sound effects and music. At times, it was like reading that thrilling chapter in a standard 15-16 chapter book.

Semi open world. That's the one thing I need in a RPG. I'm the kind of guy who can piss of 5-6 hours a day doing nothing but mini-games and sidequests in games (that's why I love Yakuza 3 and 4 so much).

The story was a breathe of fresh air. When I got to the end of disc one and the plot finally sunk in, I was blown away. It was really touching, and Kaim went from this unlikeable douche-bag to this awesome 1000 year old hero. I took his silence for arrogance, when he was really this wise character who only said what had to be said.

This is a personal opinion, but random battles and turned-based battle systems will always win my heart over. So that was a big plus for me.

I'm sure I can say more, but that's enough for someone who hasn't finished the game.
