lol ff12 is better than lost odyssey. Lost odyssey is a good game, but nothing more than that.

spoilers:

1 music . the music is really great sometimes, but when those annoying brats started to sing a lame song to their grandma the game lost its momentum.

2. story. What can i say? its interesting, but very easy to figure out. LIke that bad guy(dont remember his name) i knew from the first moment i saw his oversized eyebrows that he was the bad guy in the game. The story also gets really boring from time to time. LIke those flash backs and stuff like that, also its very annoying when those brats run away over and over.

3. Voice acting. The voice acting is annoying some times due to the bad subtitles. I for one prefer japanese audio but the english subtitles is just the manuscript from the english audio. And thats the problem, the eng manuscript isnt the same as the japanese and the subtitle speed is either to fast or to slow. So i had to put on english audio. The english voices is not as good as the japanese ones but their not bad, but i did notice that they were out of sync some times.

4. gameplay, its turn based, and i like turn based but except the ring system the games delivers nothing new and i have to say the attacks feels like they've been ripped of ff9. Also i hate that you cant wear more than 1 or 2 items and that you cant equip more than 7-8 abilites(based on how many seeds slot you have)
The fact is the combat system ff 9 has is better than lost odysseys'. Also the ring thingy is way to easy and getting a perfect is child play.

5. design. The charcters looks good but not as good as ff imo. LIke that bad guy he looks like chewbacca and kaim or whatever(the good guy?) wears a very hmm what should i say. Gay outfit? still the game looks good. Cut scenes are not on par with ff i can tell you that right away also theres too much loading and framrate drops.

All in all its a good game, but its not final fantasy.

The english voices actually have better lypsyncing than the japanese voices.  The art style has a very asian look which is probably why some don't like it.  How are the cutscenes not as good as FF?

LOL.

Somewhere, deep in the bowels of SquareEnix headquarters is a glass box. Written on that box is a simple message: break glass in case of emergency. Can you guess what's in the box? Damn straight, it's FFVII.

I loved FFVII, but it's true, a remake won't have quite the same magic to it because you know what's going to happen. As much as I loved FFVII: AC, it was good because it was new, it wasn't something that I already knew the outcome of. A remake of FFVII won't have any of the mystery to it, because we all know what's already happened.

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.

FFVII spinoffs for every system that hasn't got one already!

360: "Final Fantasy VII: Armgun of Ares," an FPS centering on Barret.

PS3: "Final Fantasy VII: Treasure of Pluto," a dungeon-crawler centering on Yuffie.

DS: "Final Fantasy VII: Rulership of Bast," an RPG centering on Reeve/Cait Sith

Wii: "My Fantasy Pups: Final Fantasy VII," a Nintendogs clone centering on Red XIII

 

That is about the only wat that they will get me to buy a Dog sim.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

FXII is highly mediocre compare to LO.
But yeah, i want that FVII-remake, its the only FF game i dint play, ironic.

Probably they didnt lie at all. It could just have been a mistranslation with no false purpose in mind.

Yet I do also hope they do make a remake. But I would prefer FFVI over VII. Sadly the modern FF lost all the charm the previous entries had.

BTW if Lost Odyssey would be named FF it would have sold millions of copies and would be said to be one of the best entries in the series.

Except Final Fantasy never gets average ratings. Plus, If Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey's current sales are indicative of the 360 fanbase's taste in RPGs, then even if it were named FF, it still wouldn't sell that great

 

 

I think you're missing sventiga's point.  If it had been named Final Fantasy it wouldn't have gotten average ratings.  The power of the name alone can boost  a game's score several points, just look at FF12.

It's clear to me from that bolded statement that you quit not long after the half way point.  There are accessories you find later that let you have more ability slots, and abilities you can link to equip more accessories.  Also, if you think Kaim's outfit is atrocious you can't have played many final fantasies either.  His is merely par for the course with jrpg.

 

Final verdict: Lost Odyssey is a great game and any self-respecting jrpg fan needs to play it.

Unlike you i've played all the games mentioned in this post so i know a bit better than you.

Lost Odyssey had an immersive, mature story that really made you feel sympathy for the character.

On the other hand, FFVIII and especially FFVII had really boring stories and nothing worth caring about.

And we saw how good SE made their game by moving the battle system ahead, they got the most hated FF game among FF fans.

Go troll somewhere else please.

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.

I wish the FF7 remake is made for the PSP, that way it will piss the greatest amount of people.
