Probably because it's on 360 for most people.

For me, I just never got round to playing it, and I don't really feel driven too because of the art style of the game. When I first got a 360, Tales of Vesperia completely overshadowed it.


Then you should play Eternal Sonata too.

I can't find Tales of Vesperia in any Spanish store anymore.

Why should I play Eternal Sonata? I was thinking about it, but didn't go for it in the end.

I couldn't find Tales of Vesperia anywhere either, paid over £50 ($80) for it on eBay. Worth every penny.

 

I don't know how to use Ebay...or purchasing anything online, for that matter. ;_;

 

Eternal Sonata looks and play as a dumbed down version of Tales of Vesperia. Having said that, however, the artistic style is incredible, and the music and story is awesome. It is less challenging though.

only got to disc 3; the game was good but not memorable....the only thing that I remember from the game is the beginning when the main character is running through the battlefield and then after some fights a giant meteor destroys the nearly everyone

I think LO is just a tad bit overrated because it was basically the leading RPG that lead to the 360 RPG burst from about 07-09

Because Lost Odyssey is insignificant for 360 fans. Wide majority of us prefer western games to anime storybooks.

If lost odysseys sales are an indicator of that then most ps3 gamers don't care for jrpgs either as Lost odyssey is one of the best selling exclusive jrpgs released this gen on ps3 or 360. Another thing I dont get is some people say its weird to play a jrpg on the 360 i just dont get that  good game is a good game it's not like the 360 has a bad controller for jrgs or anything lol.

I absolutely loved Lost Odyssey. I thought it was a great game. I recommend it to anyone that hasn't played it and owns a 360.

I dont have a 360 and im not going to buy one just for one game, its not like the PS3 is starved for those kinds of games anyway. Hell im still playing JRPGs from PS1 era (thank you PSN)

Cause the game was boring? They did a piss poor job with the story telling too. Can't say it was terrible though, there's a lot of good with it. I just find that the game balances out to an average RPG. Blue Dragon has been a bit better early on (Only a few hours in).

It's so fucking slow I can't stand it.

ever rant about Lost Odyssey?

IMO, it's the best console JRPG released in the 7th generation. I liked it better then XenoBlade Chronicles, Valkyria Chronicles, and Tales of Vesperia. I think it has the deepest story out of the 3, it's tied for the longest at 60 hours (maybe a bi shorter then Xeno), really interesting backstory with dreams and immortality, and it's made by the creator of Final Fantasy.

2. Already the "because it's on 360" option is dominating, so I'll ask this. Why don't you guys consider buying a 360 Arcade to play Lost Odyssey and other JRPG exclusives on the 360 like Tales of Vesperia, Magna Carta 2, and Infinite Undiscovery? During Black Friday/Boxing Day in Canada and USA I commonly see Arcade 360's for $129.99 and Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia are $20/$30 games now respectively, plus all other JRPG exclusives are about $10.

P.S. Sorry about the type being "one" 360. I can't edit it because it will clear the poll. Shame that that's the response that's most common because I honestly do like it over all other console JRPG's this gen.

Outright lie. I did everything in LO outside of finishing the end game dungeon and I was under 40 hours. I'm also a very slow player.

I absolutely loved it though. Favorite 360 game without question.

nah

 

Lost Odyssey would've sold better on the PS3 most likely in EVERY region

 

I would go as far as to say that Lost Odyssey could have broke 2.5 million WorldWide if it was a PS3 exclusive
