Lost Odyssey --- 15 Minute TGS Demonstration

Uploaded 8:30 this morning, hope it's not old. I haven't watched the entire video, but I hope it turns out great :).

This is a long demonstration. I can only hope that there will be one for FFXIII :D

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN --- LOST ODYSSEY

Latest LO screen. Pretty sharp I say.

Love the Legend of Dragoonish type Combat system.

Must buy for me

No love for LO? I know it looks slightly generic, but the cutscenes are good as well as the graphics and music.TREAL_Since

I hate to say it man, but after what happened with Blue Dragon, very few people are going to get hyped for LO.

Why should anybody get hyped up for any JRPG? They all have pretty good graphics, yeah, but the mechanics pretty much stay the same - turn-based, hit-points, magic points, leveling up, spells, special attacks, etc. I mean, taking out random battles was considered a BIG deal for these games, a radical change.

Lost Odyssey will be popular among the Japanese crowd, but for a western audience I don't think so.

I hate to be a hater, but everything about this game screams "generic JRPG garbage". :|jethrovegas

if that is generic let's not talk about Final fantasy 242341.

:lol: Yeah, let's not.

Aren't there like 18 FFXIII's alone?

Already Been Posted, but great video nonetheless

Wait... clearly you didn't get the memo. FF12 was a drastic change for the series. I see LO as being generic, but to call Final Fantasy generic is too much.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The only people who hate turn-based RPGs are people who just don't have the patience for strategy. In American games, it's all about "twitch" and adrenaline. At least JRPGs boast storylines and gameplay that require a few seconds of thought before you mash the next button. The only Western dev that still makes games like that is BioWare, and even they're moving away from the careful timing and strategy-based gameplay of their earlier, better games.

Final Fantasy is played out. They should just leave that franchise in peace before they make it any worst. FF12's gameplay was pretty good but the storyline and charater development was horrible.

This game looks excellent. I'm predicting a 7.5/10. Can't wait to get my hands on it this December. BioShockOwnz

I hope it turns out to be a really good game, like 9.0+, I really like the sound of the story so i hope it all turns out well.

After watching the video, I say 7.5 to 8.5.

The thing about LO that makes it different then the other JRPGs(mainly FF) out there is the story. It doesn't look like there is going to be that one evil person that is out to take over the world, it looks more like there is just an overall problem or "virus" with the world they live in.

To me, after seeing this video, I think it would be silly if there weren't random battles in this game. When you have mobs out in the open like in FFXII you need the ground space to have them freely walk around. In this video where Kaim is walking along the skinny cliff, you would have mobs pretty much sitting there lined up and there would be no way for you to get around them. There isn't enough walking space.

I could care less about random battles, they were never a big deal before, and they still aren't now for me.

It was still a AAA game. In no way should they give it a rest. Each game is new everyone knows this. No matter what the title is the games will be different. FF13 wil be an amazing game. Mark my words :) Every FF game since FF7 has gotten AAA-AA.

FF13 : PS3 :: FF10 : PS2

Lucky :( I gotta wait for it to come out in the US

I love when people say LO looks generic when its comparable to the later FF's art wise. Also, I swear alot of people never played FFXI because if you did, you wouldnt think the FFXII combat system was such a huge change in the series.7thSIN

If you ask me, it's almost identical to KotOR's system, but with many more abilities.

that combat is so hot..

its ACTUALLY FUN to watch... unlike blue dragon... I HATED the characters... they remind me of naruto or something... which is ultra gay..

Lost Oddyseey reminds me of something more... mature and good

if that is generic let's not talk about Final fantasy 242341.

i love how you need to bring final fantasy into this, like in his post he said "Omfg ff13 will pwn this generic trash".

its sad man...

The writer of the story is an award-winning novelist.

Pretty sure that's not something you'd find in a generic game.

Battle music = win

Games has nice art, but from a technical standpoint it isn't very impressive.(IMO of course)

.......UGH!!!!

i liked the bloody footage you Lemming

the fact that it was written by that novelist doesnt mean it'll be directed well.

by the looks of it, sakaguchi is handling the project well.

the annoyance i felt while watching blue dragon cutscenes was replaced by a lotta curiosity, espcially the cutscene towards the end(weird monolith in the distance. Kaim drapped in weird aura)and the mini cutscenes where the characters were walking on the hills.

360 is region free its up to publisher if their game is or not

Looks like Blue Dragon 2.0, might not be a good thing :?thirstychainsaw

How? I don't understand that at all...

All 360s are region free. But most games from Japan arent.

FF12 was a very good game, but the hype around its combat system was kinda funny, considering Star Ocean was doing essentially the same thing several years before.
