Lost odyssey not comparing to FF? when I played I couldn't stop thinking how much it reminded me of FF. Ultra- beautifull graphic, music from nobuo that was high top, an emotional story that was at a level of an FF game. if they released lost odyssey as FFXII and include some summons/chocobo's and Moogles I don't see why people couldn't compare it to an FF game.


so if bayonetta was released as Devil may cry 5 i don 't think i would find it similiar to DMC because it is like a copy-paste the menus,the gameplay,the feel is the same even some thing are almost same

Are you saying people don't have compared Bayonetta with DMC before?

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.


I didn't play Lost Odyssey but I guess you are right.

Meh, not entirely true. I for one thought Suikoden series was....ok along with several other JRPG's. FFVII didn't blow me away (I did prefer 8), FFX was ok (I was dissapointed actually after playing IX). For a while now it takes quite a bit for a JRPG to impress me, let alone get the GOTY vote from me. When I look back, I have held Vagrant Story, Ar Tonelico 2 (minus that game breaking glitch, bad job NIS localizing it), Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2, all on par and better than the FF series. Also the pacing in LO was next to horrible, and Nobuo's choice for music left alot to be desired (hey at least it's better than Rad Racer). Like someone else mentioned, the thousand year dream stuff was cool, but still didn't do it for me along with the battle system in this day and age. 

Some games just have to evolve and rely on more than just gimmicks to get by. Vagrant Story for example had a great combat system along with the storyline, and I would hope for a sequel. Demon's Souls was really the rpg for me and has taken me back to the old school days when a game "didn't hold your hand", and THAT game I could call a GOTY. I will also give a nod to Dragon Age and ME. Although ME isn't my thing, I could appreciate the story and decision making of that game, but LO....meh.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

LO probably had one of the best stories hidden in it... nothing I've seen from a JRPG even comes close to touching the dream sequences... they were masterfully done peices

The dives in the Ar Tonelico series easily rival it. Sadly those games were plagued by poor localization by NIS at the time. As for stories, Xenogears, Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve 1, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross easily surpass it. All LO did was provide the Xbox fans with a JRPG that is finally worth mentioning on that system. Hell even Shadow Hearts: Covenant had a better story.

What an excellent game that was. One of my favorite series from last gen.

Easily surpasses LO in my opinion. LO bored me to tears leading into disc 4, I stopped playing shortly after.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

ioi massively adjusted the Lost Odyssey numbers last year.
Something like 150k down or so.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens to Valkyria Chronicles.

NPD has Valkyria ltd at 130k as of the end of Nov 2009. lol.

whoops I saw this post a bit too late.

Lost Odyssey got adjusted after the big yearly NPD LTD numbers came out. So yeah guess it will happen again.



I like LO better, but VC will hit 1 million first.
