I totally understand your choice. I appreciate a good, complex story as much as the next person.

However, I still prefer Xenoblade mainly for gameplay reasons. I've never played a JRPG with more rewarding exploration (which suggests to me that there has never been one), and I can easily see evolution of the genre in many gameplay areas, especially the combat and questing. The presentation occasionally sometimes leaves something to be desired, but hey, considering that the game was probably made with a much smaller budget than Lost Odyssey, it's altogether very impressive.

Oh I don't question if XenoBlade is a good game, it's my #2 after Lost Odyssey, and I agree for the budget, impressive. However we hear Nintendo fans rant about XenoBlade all the time, but never hear 360 or JRPG fans rant about Lost Odyssey

HEY! Who the heck is voting "I hate it?"

i remember there being much more raving about Lost Odyssey closer to when it came out. Since then, there's been plenty of good, more recent competition to steal the spotlight. But as for why 360 fans specifically don't seem to show it as much love as it probably deserves... I'm not sure. One would think that 360 fans would love having such a major exclusive JRPG when they're not common on Microsoft's systems. Although, I think 360 might've became a major stronghold for Western RPGs to the point where some fans simply wouldn't care.
