Yes the way the story ends begs for a sequel.

What makes you say that?  I mean, the story was tied up quite nicely.  If anything I can't see a sequel using the same set of characters.

Cause Seth was warped to their old world at the end they gottago get her.

Yes, but the way the ending played it, they really emphasized that they don't care to go get her.  And even if they go to the other universe, I don't see a story being made other than the standard "Hey there's a villain in this world let's go kill him", which I'd rather not see as it'd be shoehorned in.  Kaim, Sarah are happy where they are.  Jansen's gonna die while Ming stays young and hot.  The kids are gonna grow old and die eventually.  I wouldn't really wanna see a sequel with these characters after the ending they made.  Now if they make a prequel of some kind, then that can work.

IDK I could see Kaim going to get her once jansen and his kids die off or what not it could be interesting in my opinion a new planet and stuff could make for some cool scenarios to me. 



IMO one of the best RPG's of this gen. I'd wish for a sequel, but I just don't feel like they would create a franchise out of the story.



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

I think I am the only one here who did not enjoy the game. And I'll be honest, it was because I sucked at it. It's one of these games that I never truly got the hang of the combat system. It's a shame because, aside from the enormous amount of frustration and rage, I like the story and "feel" of the game. It was too tough for me. Some of the bosses really got to me.

^You had to get use to the Ring system. And learn which rings worked for which situations. If you don't have the right things equipped an easy battle could become quite difficult.

Yeah the magic system was useless until mid game when you started getting those ability which reduced casting time.  I personally got screwed over at the beginning because of that.  You have to rely on items on the first half of the game.  Game becomes quite easy later on with those haxed abilities, and you can get to areas where the level cap isn't too low so you can level higher.

One of the best games I have played this gen but could not finish. Best rpg this gen for sure along with Valkyria Chronicles. But I never finished the story, here in Europe the 4th disc was packed inside an enveloppe, it was unplayable, it always gave me disc read errors. I then bought 2 other versions in the stores to no avail...


That's horrible. Why would they do that? The 4th disk is where the game really opens up.


Indeed, that was the one time I really wished that game would be on a bluray disc. To this day I still dont know how the story ended.

Just Youtube the rest of the game bud

I honestly believe we will see a sequel to this game. Microsoft hasn't given up on Japan, and intends to break into that market. Which is why they funded a number of exclusive games in this genre earlier in the generation. Once the competition closed the gap however. Microsoft was forced to seek competitive advantages elsewhere that would have a better return on investment.

That doesn't change the calculation however. Microsoft still needs good exclusives in this genre, and of much more importance they need a exclusive game series franchise. Not only does Lost Odyssey fit the bill on both accounts, but it brings a lot more to the table then that. This game out of the all the exclusives that Microsoft funded fared the best with critics and consumers. It is the highest rated, and has actually sold fairly well for what amounts to an unknown property. Hell it has sold well period, and has sold very well in markets outside of Japan. Making it the title with the widest appeal.

Really it just seems to be a matter of time. Eventually Microsoft is going to release a new console, and once that happens Microsoft is going to need two things generally speaking. Exclusive games, and games that balance out the library. So Microsoft is going to need exclusives in this genre. Further more once the new generation starts Microsoft is going to be tempted at making another run at the Japanese market.

Once the conditions conspire to make Microsoft covetous of such games. Their first move will probably be to bring out the best from their previous foray. They will want a sequel to establish a series, and they will want their first game to be the one with the greatest overall appeal. Which would make it the safest bet. You know what makes Lost Odyssey even better then the rest. It has real ongoing story potential.

What everyone in this thread forgot is that the real impetus behind the events in Lost Odyssey is still unresolved. The game is almost an aside from the point. The underlying problem remains unresolved or answered for that matter. Which is that the emotions in the mortal world are influencing the world the immortals come from. So once you factor in the damage the antagonist did in the mortal world. That creates almost endless possibilities for what the consequences of those acts were on the other side of the door, and for the dynamic at play in general.

Lost Odyssey had a acceptable ending, but it was hardly tied up with a pretty bow. There was a lot left untouched, unanswered, and unresolved. That empty real estate has a lot of potential for a whole slew of games.



Its the best Final Fantasy of the generation. Id love a 2nd!
