One can dream right?

Yeah when I played Lost Odyssey, it gave the same feeling I used to get when I'd play a Final Fantasy game. That magic is long gone for me. Final Fantasy just doesn't seem to have it any more.

I disagree with you Dodece (You're quote is too long so I ain't quoting it). Microsoft has long since abandoned Mistwalker and their development houses (Artoon and Feelplus). If Peter Moore was still with Microsoft then maybe I'd agree. But Microsoft hasn't bought off any japanese developers in a long while and I think Final Fantasy XIII was good enough for them (It looks like they couldn't care anymore about the series).

I hope you turn out to be right Dodece.

I loved the strong character development, I thought the 1,000 years of back strories (or dreams) were cool, and the concept of the game was amazing. This was a really amazing JRPG, it reminded me of the good old JRPG days on the SNES. It's a shame FFXIII outsold this game like 6:1 because I think this was the better product.

I hope they make a sequel, but for now I'm just glad The Last Story is being localized on the Wii. I hope one of their JRPG's becomes a sales success one day, but I think for that to happen, they will have to make a 3DS/PSV exclusive.

Best JRPG this gen IMHO, and probably the most appreciated game this gen (as traditional turn based JRPG on consoles are basically a thing of the past now, at least those at the level of quality LO is at).

I think the way the 4th disc was packed caused that error I heard you where supposed to put the disc in very hot water for about three minutes and that would fix it.  Its dumb that in Australia where the game sold the least they got the best packaging where each disc got its own spot.  Borrowed this game from a friend from my brother and beat it had no problem with the 4th disc.  Lost the save file for the game when my first 360 got destroyed in a fire.  Still want to buy it and beat it again sometime in the future.  If it doesn't get a sequel it would be nice if it would get a enhanced port next gen wouldn't be a huge risk financially and wouldn't have to sell a lot to make a profit especially if its a downloadable game like the HD version of RE4, Jet Set Radio, and the rumored port of Skies of Arcandia and Shenmue 1&2.  What I really liked about the game that it had very good voice acting in six different languages.  But if it had a one less language track then all the thousand year dream sequences could have been narrated which would have improved the game a bit.  Also for a rpg with random encounter the encounters where a bit to random at times which made leveling up a bit of a chore. 

One thing I regret when I played the game is that I pretty much skiped reading most of the thousand year dream sequences I also didn't find them all.

That was the hardest boss for me also but did a bit of level grinding before I fought it the second time and beat it with no problem.  Did a lot more level grinding after that and had no problems with the rest of the bosses except for those tanks which took a few tries but wasn't to hard and the final boss was a bit of a challenge but beat him on the first try even though he almost wiped out my entire party a couple of times.

LOL I KNOW, my brother called me crazy back then putting the disc in hot water. Unfortunatly, it read the disc for 5 minutes longer. :(

Too bad the 4th disk never worked for you.  I spend about 80% game time on the 4th disk its when the game really opens up and Tolten gets his best ability and once another member of your party also learns that ability the game is pretty easy to beat.
