according to ign and most gaming sites, the best jrpg is folklore this gen! well jrpg's suck this gen so for this gen lost oddesy is good, but compared to last it is garbage.

Folkore is not an RPG. More like an action/adventure game with RPG elements. IGN did give it a 9/10 but if you go to gamerankings and go to Folklore, you would know that it got really mixed reviews with scores going as low as a 4/10.

 

 

the ultra low folklore scores are from fanboy reviews folklore = 4/10 lol

folklore is a great game that is underated. back on the topic though folklore isnt really an rpg lost oddessy is, so deathgod is worng about that

The 4/10 score came from GameDaily, if I am correct.

They don't do enough turnbased RPG's, atleast not this gen, been a really big disappointment for me so far



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

LO is a great game and every bit as good as last generations FFs. Graphically its a delight and the characterisation is pretty good. It easily has better dialogue than 90% of the JRPGs out there and most of the characters are actually memorable.

It is easily the best JRPG released this generation and a hugely underrated game.

all that dissimilar to banging ones

This game's dialouge never felt cheesy to me so I agree with you.

It's the best new JRPG to come out in several years, I really appreciated how well the story was done and how LO managed to be a good length without forfeiting story and character development for increased game time through hours of level grinding dungeons.

 Actually the reason behind the poor reviews for Lost Odyssey is Microsoft kinda sent bad copies to reviewers. Ya Microsoft fucked up. It was fixed in time for release date.

I bought htis moneths ago, but it kept getting put on the back burner...Mass Effect, GTA4, and Sins of the Solar Empire,...then my addiction to WOW kicked into high gear again with the Sunwell...but I'll finally crack it open and get some QT with it. Not a fan of JRPG, but I do like a good game, and this sounds to be one.
