I disagree.

Metacritic disagree's.

GameRankng's disagrees.

Sales, will also soon disagree.

You got it wrong Carl....
Gamers who loved old Final Fantasy games agree.

Who cares about western reviews for a japanese game?

If Lost Odyssey was PS3 exclusive, I CAN ASSURE YOU it would be praised as the "game you should buy a PS3 for". Playstation fans (who loved PS1 and PS2 JRPGs) waited so long for a game like this this gen... (Soon FF13).

In 2007, if Lost Odyssey was released on PS3, it would have been called "Game of the Year" by the long-time playstation JRPG userbase...

Sadly for them, it was released on the 360. So instead of buying a 360 and expand their game collection... they prefered to downgrade the game on forums and stuff... Bitter behavior.

Sad but true.
Brand loyalty creates injustice.

Can't we say both are good?
And they are quite different to be honest.

I haven't played LO yet so I won't say anything about it, but VC is amazing.

It's subjective, at the end of the day. I like old FF games. But I preferred VC to LO. Just my opinion. As with you preferring LO to VC is an opinion too.

i totally disagree Valkyria Chronicles is 1 billion times more original than Lost Odyssey just because of the battle system and i am hardcore old FFfan

I have to say VC will reach 1 million. It was amazing game. I dont know about LO but i'm sure it was good as lots of people love it.

Some people like Lost Odyssey better and some people like VC better. The end.

Let's try not to turn this into a popularity contest and keep on topic please.

I loved old Final Fantasy games, lots of them. I loved the first two, I loved 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on. And I don't like Lost Odyssey all that much. And besides, what does it matter if the reviews are western or if the game is Japanese? A review is a review regardless. It's not like western reviewers are incredibly biased if Japanese games like Resident Evil 4 and Super Mario Galaxy are some of the best reviewed games of all time. So stop making up these BS excuses. You create these hypotheticals of Lost Odyssey being a PS3 exclusive and receiving a ton of praise, but it didn't happen. It never happened, so creating a hypothetical is pointless. The only thing is serves to do is to create another poor argument from you on how anyone who disagrees with it being the best Japanese RPG of this generation must be ruined by system bias. I have all the consoles this generation, with the 360 being my favorite, and I still don't think Lost Odyssey is anywhere close to being the best JRPG. And I get a lot of crap for hating on the game, so let it be known that I'm not hating on it here. I'm just stating the truth. It's not the best JRPG this gen. Tales of Vesperia and several handheld titles beat it handily. It's a decent RPG with some strengths, but you're overrating it highly and you know it. And Lost Odyssey is not Final Fantasy, and you know it. Let these two series stay separate. While you're at it, cut the BS and learn to accept that other people may have different opinions than you for legitimate reasons.

Montana just raped you

Both are great games, but VC is better after all.
