Yeah that boss fight is a huge pain, the game gets better/worse afterward, the combat is at its low point but the story gets progressively worse.

Dude, the bird-thing before magic staff is the first boss of the game. It might be a bit earlier to call things off, isn't it?

Anyways if the bird boss got to you, wait till you reach the boss at the feet of magic staff - now that's a real bugger. After those two fights the game becomes a bit easier while remaining challenging because it caps grinding (you can't mass-grind to steamroll bosses). Later on you won't want your immortals to die because of the wall mechanic - chars at the front soak up damage for chars at the back, if your front guys get knocked the vulnerable casters will get vaporized. Also self-rezz'd inmortals lose the buffs and these become very important mid-game.

Rings will become very relevant - they basically "color" attacks with elemental properties and are used to exploit elemental vulnerabilities (plus some other bonuses...). The story also improves soon enough. IMHO it holds up until the 4th disc when it morphs into standard FF-fare.

Considering it comes from the creator of FF, that shouldn't be suprising

 

 

God forbid Sakaguchi created an scenario without alien/extradimensional artifacts to be used by the evil villain to take over the world. I mean, it's only been 20+ years of games based on that.

If you didn't like the first disc you'll hate the second.

I liked the 1st but the 2nd is just fucking annoying, especially towards the end.

Now i just started Disc 3 and the game's much better.

Interestingly enough, my Girlfriend beat the griffin boss in about 1 minute, and absolutely mowed the sucker over without a single problem.

As the game goes on, it gets deeper, and bosses require real strategy utilizing a lot of different strategies.

Also, your immortals do get up after 2-3 turns. However, many monster parties are overpowered, and difficult to take down with brute force, and can easily kill your party quick, regardless of immortals.

 

Yeah, apparently if you just blindly attack it and flush strategy down the toilet it's simple.

 

Boss fights in LO are all about strategy. Have a dedicated healer in the back. In fact have 2 healers and one attacker.

Disc 3 is super awesome.

Is it safe to assume that I'm one of the few who actually thinks this game is downright EASY? Dear lordy.

Oh, and Kaim is far from an "emo dick." The character grows, and from the dreams, you realize the type of life he has lived, and how much of a heart he has. He's one of my favorite characters in a video game. For the record, Cloud and Squall aren't very good characters to me, so that should tell you that Kaim is definitely far from another stupid emo.

Cool so to give a comparison between FFVIII and Lost Odyssey (without spoilers please, I still havent finished it, lame I knoe, but other games keep interrupting me!) what would you say?

Anyone who thinks Kaim is emo never played the game past the 6 hour mark(faces Xplay with a stern look).  The game is not that easy IMO.  But that's more of a good thing than a bad thing for me.
