I'd think by now people would know that almost everything with the Final Fantasy name on it gets good ratings.

Lost Odyssey is much better than FFXII, VII, and VIII in almost every aspect and it still got just good ratings.

Whatever.

Lost Odyssey better that FFVII and FFVIII??LOL whatever dude ....aside from the tech aspects (11 years separate it from FFVII and 10 from FFVIII) both games trounce LO.And its very sad that Sakaguchi couldnt move the battle system one inch ahead of what he did 10 years ago.

 

 

Let me start by saying I love FF7, but in no way does it trounce LO. The Eastern mysticism that the plot is based on got very old for me very fast. Yes, I know there is still some of it around in LO, but it takes a back seat to the story whereas in FF7 it was an integral part of the story (become one with the planet and all...)  I found the story in LO much more interesting.

 

As for the battle system, you only prove your ignorance by saying Sakaguchi couldn't move it ahead. LO was designed to have a more classic feel to it and the turn based combat was used to that effect. If you don't like it you don't have to play it, but don't say that deliberate design choices reflect an inability to innovate.
