is it good y/n
Nobuo uematsu did some music from what i hear
It looks good, though time will tell if thats true or not. The premise is you're playing a guy who has lived for over a 1000 years. It tells the story of his numerous lifetimes of conflicts, loves and losses.
The story and graphics are so massive that it also comes on 4 DVDs. Katrinity fucked around with this message on 02-07-2008 at 11:04 AM.

Mr. Gainsborough had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
it's 4 discs long what the fuck
I know the masses have been clamoring for longer gameplay time over number of games released, but 4 disks? Seriously? Not cool.
quote:
Innovative RPG gameplay features. "Lost Odyssey" blends massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) elements into the game's traditional RPG system, enabling players to make strategic decisions for a more immersive and deep gameplay experience.
So it's a witcher clone in terms of "Hay guys people like mmogs but not the mmo, lets make single player mmogs we must make a mint"?
I really don't think this game is going to be a "single player MMO" any more than Final Fantasy 12 may have seemed like one.
As for the four disc length, I'd bet that it is because they use some pretty large textures or something, not because the game is hundreds of hours long. As per IGN's Review:
quote:
Lost Odyssey is spread over four discs, a first for a 360 title. Don't let the number of discs scare you off. The game world is not enormous and even with every side quest you should be done within 50 hours. The extra discs are needed, apparently, because of the considerable amount of cutscenes. This is a story-heavy game that mixes beautiful CG and in-game cinematics.

It's by Mistwalker Studios, which was founded by Nobuo Uematsu, Akira Toriyama, and Hironobu Sakaguchi. Basically, the people responsible for the original Chrono Trigger, and alot of Squaresoft's earlier games. I've high hopes.
yeah, well they made Blue Dragon too so let's hope it's a tad better than mediocre this time

when you backhand someone you finish with your palm facing them. When you slap someone openhand, you use the arm opposite the direction you're going. Instead it looks like this woman karate chopped the girl.
The battle system is a pretty straightforward Final Fantasy-esque system, with a little timing element added through the "aiming ring" system, which basically boils down to holding down the right trigger and releasing at the right time. Unfortunately, the added element of timing has slowed battles down quite a bit, making random battles a bit more drawn out. There's also no intuitive ATB timers or CTB sidebar like in FF games. Instead, you command your whole party at once, one round at a time, and their actions are ordered based upon their stats and the action they're taking.
The story so far isn't particularly compelling - another tale of political intrigue, told through the eyes of an angsty amnesiac. The narration has a nasty habit of cutting away to something completely unrelated to whatever it is you're doing at the time, sort of to tell the player, "HEY IN CASE YOU FORGOT THERE'S THIS BAD GUY AND HE'S GOT AN EVIL PLOT". It gets a little annoying at times.
I guess what it really boils down to is that, at least so far, this is a pretty mediocre JRPG. I'm not sure I would recommend it to anyone.

You mean, normal turn-based combat?

I suppose. I've not played a game where combat's handled this way in a long time, though.
