elnino - thats my point.
It seems that the Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon bashers are one of 2 kinds of people:
#1. People that have played the game and generally do not like the style of traditional turn based RPGs.
#2. Peope that have not played the game, and base opinions entirely on a few videos and reviews.
I have yet to see someone on these forums, or any sort of contengient on NeoGAF forums declare that Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon to be some sort of crap game that is merely decent. The Blue Dragon thread has nearly 7,000 posts and keeps growing as new people find the game, and love it (like Viva Pinata did in 06). The Lost Odyssey thread is getting very large as well, with many, many users saying they are in love with the game.
I cannot wait to get Lost Odyssey. Blue Dragon was one of the most solid turnbased RPGs I've played in a LONG time, and in some ways was better than DQ8.
And in the West, Lost Odyssey actually has been getting generally better reviews than Blue Dragon. Aside from the stupid GameSpy review (which gave it a 2.5/5), the median average has been right around 85%, with no other review below 8.0 - signalling a very good game.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
