In the six hours that I've played so far, Lost Odyssey has been a technical mess, with framerate problems in just about every cinema and on most maps, an animation system that looks like it was ported straight from a PS2 engine, and frequent, inconsistent load times accompanied by visual stuttering as new data loads in.

Although it came from a different developer and used a different engine (Lost Odyssey uses the Unreal Engine 3), Blue Dragon had many of these problems when it made it out to Japan just in time for Christmas last year. I presume Mistwalker and developer Feel Plus were pressured into a release before all the kinks could be worked out.

I hope they can clean it up by the time it launches in America I guess the animation system won't be changed but PS2 animations...is sort of vague...I am surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit against Epic because everyone seems to have problems with this engine.

I really like the video in your signature.

Also, from the footage i've seen of the game, it looks pretty nice. Granted, the animations were kinda old school, but the graphics were cool. Disappointing to hear it's not at par.

The Blue Dragon demo was terrible. The game ended up a major flop. The Lost Odyssey demo was terrible. The game ends up a major flop? Could this game possibly flop below its hype of 'A'? :o

"four disks requiring a case the size of a VHS tape." "If you've played a PlayStation 2 RPG before, you'll be on familiar ground." Maybe this game wouldve been better on Blu ray? :o

Awww and so the supposed FF-killer ends up getting a slap of reality. Damn shame...

I guess people are suddenly realizing that it takes a team to make a game like FF, not just it's creator.

Kind of sucks, the story sounded sweet it was definitlya game I wanted, prolly still get for that matter. They say third times a charm, maybe they'll get it right wirth Cry On?

You should be on Fox news. They never said "Lost Odyssey looks like a ps2 game"

They only said the animations did.

What I want to see out of Sakaguchi is improvement with this game. Blue Dragon is a solid "A" effort at 77.5% on Gamerankings. So I want Lost Odyssey to be at least an 80%. Why do I say this you ask? Because the man hasn't been the head of a project in a very very long time. He hasn't gotten to do it completely his way. Blue Dragon 2 looks to be the next offering after LO, and if that score rises above 85% then you can begin to talk about Sakaguchi as a modern RPG developer.

That said, bring on the 8.0 review for Lost Odyssey.

It's a JRPG which are riddled with watching cut-scenes and watch-me type battle systems.

So where exactly do you come to the conclusion that animations don't seem important?

I saw www.gamersyde.com video,s there is NOTHING of what they suggest, and the animations are not that bad

Also where does it say that it LOOKS like a PS2 game ???? Lier !!!

Why don't you watch the videos before you jump on the bash wagon.

Also, Feelplus (Lost Odyssey) = Nautilus (Shadow Hearts)

I guess after Final Fantasy XII people stopped caring about the story in RPGs.

I'll never understand you people, in one thread you'll bash Lost Odyssey for it's graphics and animations, in another you'll turn around and hype Disgaea 3 for the Playstation 3. It's becoming harder and harder to take any of you serious.

Absolutely great point, Disgaea 3 is an utter joke. Its like the devs don't want to make a nice looking game.

He's a part of it yes, the main development is being done by Feelplus which is Nautilus reformed. (Shadow Hearts)

Inifinite Undiscovery? It looks better than both Lost Odyssey and White Knight Story. You may want a 360 for that. I don't know why you'd buy a console for 1 game, though. To each his own.

At first, that is what I thought. But then I read a preview where they said it's pretty much like a FF game. Even with a character named "sid" or something like that. That's why I had my hopes up. I still do actually, but gonna wait for reviews from sites.
