Guys, i just came back from Nagoya Japan. Oh my God the Jap Chic Unbelievable But finally i got my Lost Odyssey Playable Demon Disc in Famitsu XBOX 360 magazine January issue. For those who do not know what is Lost Odyssey all about came sit down and let me tell you the wonderful story....

Lost Odyssey is the second of two epic RPG projects for Microsoft by Mistwalker, the studio founded by Square-Enix's Hironobu Sakaguchi. You play as Kaim, a man who's been sentenced to live for 1,000 years. The game's storyline takes you through Kaim's life as he lives through multiple generations, becomes a part of many families, falls in and out of love and gets into conflicts. All this is set in a world that is on the verge of a "mystical industrial revolution," where mankind has attained dark powers.

Product Info
Genre : Sci-Fi RPG
Publisher : Microsoft
Developer : Mistwalker
Release Date: May 1, 07
About the demo game

Graphics: OH MY GOD. the intro is were astonished by the graphics, immersiveness and excellent cut-scene choreography. The CG is so nice. The main character KAIM it is so detail. The game surrounding looked so awesome like a lord of the rings killer up

Sound: Very nice and very clear

Gameplay: hmm.. Too many let me list down some...

0. Amazing storyline and characters that you actually begin to care about and make you actually interested in what takes place next.
1. Is a turn based game. (real time rpg larh)
2. The game surrounding almost like Ninety Nine Sleepless Nights, but Lost Odyssey has game command just like Final Fantasy. Guys, those who like the Final Fantacy i think you might like the game.
3. Basically is kill kill kill and kill.
4. Strategy.. Ups sorry donno yet.. play half way..cannot tahan to tell you guys about the game, so i miss it...

PRO: Nicely done up graphic, superp storyline, is a rpg game.
CON: Boring sitting there picking from what looked like 4 different moves and just killing the enemy. Its like the pokemon games on the gameboy. I'm just really disappointed. But It is still not completed yet. DON'T WORRY

Can't wait for this game....

ed.. don be naughty ahh..still need the book

now that we see how MistWalker publish their Asian release of BD, i wonder how they'll handle LO.
NTSC/J NTSC/UC and PAL covers around 8 different languages. Is LO worldwide simultaneous release still possible or just a pipe-dream for the development team??

erm, more & more info & previews rgd this game is coming out,

but most interestingly is this interview with the prez of FP+ (link C+P from neogaf )

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070507...ffield_01.shtml

go read it its very interesting (not only abt the game)



some choice quotes rgd the game




so, stuff we know

1. fixed camera angle
2. during battles, the formation/position of the party is important
3. only 1 hrs worth of CGI, so maybe dont need more than 3 dvds
4. alot of the key persons on the dev team also made different, different jrpgs from different companies b4
5. the full credits for the game will encompass >100 ppl
6. w/o MS japan, sakaguchi would most probably still sitting in his one-man office, looking for deep pocket investors



p/s: i wonder if sakaguchi can help matsuno realise his next great project

just watch the E3 trailer. somehow, i feel there's something "off" with the 3D models and the lighting. maybe still work in progress, eh?

looks kinda similar to [eM], now that i think of it we get a scene of a little girl jumping off a cliff here too. LoL, Polka-copycats FTW.

I lazy to read mah ... hehe

So i am guessing you prefer to watch english anime, with english voice and dub???
Apa lar lu.?
Read also so lazy


Anyway, how later the fully english came in.
My BD is English/Korean with english sub....
No voice for English.
Weird...

the Asian version should be English-voiced. Maybe Chi subtitles will be supported.

First Lost Odyssey review: Famitsu Xbox 360 10/8/9/8 (35/40)
Famitsu Weekly 9, 9, 9, 9 (36/40)


battle tempo is extremely agreeable
- boss fights are tough but if you polish your tactics, they are fun
- Kaim's existence in the story is, according to Shigematsu's writing, very deep and well crafted. A virtuous story, as Sakaguchi also said
- event scenes progress with beautiful graphics, impressive
- battles have a noticeable effect on your characters, which develop in an enjoyable way
- it's a good RPG for adults to play and take lots of time playing through
- scenario is very "bitter"
- 4 DVDs with amazing video and beautiful music
- it's a shame about frequent loading and the poor lip-syncing


(Copy n Paste )

Aiyor, watching Anime is different lar. Im currently watching Bleach and Claymore and also Devil May Cry

Japanese voice and english sub kinda make it more originated...

sometimes... english voice kinda ghey....

Yeah i like my blue dragon japenese voice and english sub....
I didnt know that they had english voice tho...
and yeah i agree too, english vocie a biy geyish..
no offence to anyone..
just my 2 cents.

and i got my eternal sonata.
hopefully its japense vocie english sub as well


and this last odeysey i hope the same

MY GOD!
