Lost Odyssey 40 hours, 20 hours of cutscenes, 4 disks

20 hours of cutscenes seems like an awful lot of watching instead of playing. I wonder if this will end up to be true?

http://xboxer.tv/2007/10/lost_odyssey_contains_20_hours.html

The most discs ive ever seen for a console game was 4 discs on the PS1. Will the 360 be the home of 5 or 6 disc games? :oCarmilla31

i dont understand the problemis it a huge hassle for you to walk 4 feet and change disks every7-10 hours?

It looks like a great game. # of discs doesn't really mean much to me, i'm not one of the whiners/lazy people. :)

If all the videos weren't FMV it would be one disc. Leave it to JRPG's to use nothing but FMV's though.

Every fanboy is a hypocrit. Tell yourself what you want, it goes both ways. You don't like it? Heh, tough. That's why they're called "fanboys".

i've always felt that one area of game design where JRPG devs could benefit is increasing their use of interactive cutscenes. In so many JRPG games, it's just kill monsters along a path, wait for cutscene, kill more monsters along a path, wait for cutscene, kill boss, wait for cutscene...

I just feel that allowing the player to perform some kind of action WHILE the cutscene is occurring would be nice. Look at FF VIII, the first mission, when you have to run from the giant spider robot. it's a cutscene, but you are doing something, and your actions have an effect of how often you have to fight the spider robot. It was one of the funnest things in tha game. Instead, the player is almost completely disassociated from the plot.

ok???.. my point...lol, you dont need to analyse what i say and repeat it, most people should understand what im getting at... what you did for example is likerepeating the funny part of a joke that you and the other people just watched

thats not needed...

20 hours of cutscenes sound a little too much, while 20 hours of gameplay doesn't sound much for a RPG.

I didn't repeat it, i refined it. You singled out Lemmings, i didn't.

Isnt the main character supposed to be 1000 years old? Maybe they meant 1000 seconds, in which case would be about 17 hours. 8)Carmilla31

Yes, except that he has AMNESIA. ooh, original.

cuz it has 20 hrs of FMV? I guess MGS4 will get a 6.5.

Anyway that's higher than what lemmings are hyping it, which is a A

Nope but it is a pain when one of the discs gets scratched. Happend to my second cd on FF9 !

I didn't repeat it, i refined it. You singled out Lemmings, i didn't.

i used it as an example, refining it is still repeating it, but with a bit less or a bit more, but you did not refine, oyu repeated

And this would be my signature...

IMO this game is DISGUSTINGLY UNDERRATED. I couldn't/can't believe people are hyping this A and below. Many will be surprised when this game launches as I can sense a winer here. With Eternal Sonata/Blue Dragon, I always sensed crapz0rz in the making but this will be good.soulsofblayck

Meh, I'm sensing a 7.0-7.5 for Lost Odyssey. A decent game, but nothing more.

Frankly, the game is completely inappropriate for hte current xbox fanbase, who tend to prefer more action-oriented games. It's an attempt by Microsoft to break into the japanese market. I expect the game to be treated harshly by westen xbox reviewers whose tastes are not served by this game.

:lol:

Yes, i refined it except for the fact that i completely stated something other than what you stated. You focused on lemmings and i stated that all fanboys are Hypocrites. Hell, it's not even a refinement, it's a clarification on my part. Sorry if you can't see that, it's your problem though.

Not lazy changing disk but there is 4 disk to worry about. Lost either 1 of the 4 disk and the game is gone.

A 20 hour JRPG....makes Majadamus a sad gamer. :| majadamus

Well that's 20 hours of GAMEPLAY. With the additional 20 hours of cutscenes, you're looking at at least 40. Still brutal though.

I imagine many future 360 games to span more than a single disc, which is fine (more content?) as long as they don't stack them together.

Isnt the main character supposed to be 1000 years old? Maybe they meant 1000 seconds, in which case would be about 17 hours. 8)Carmilla31

Nice math.

This is next gen. It's like saying is it such a huge hassle to play a game with ps2 or ps1 level graphics. Probably not since we all did that for the last 2 gens and enjoyed it. But this is supposed to be next gen with more advanced technology. Just like last gen graphics doesn't cut it for this gen 4 discs and so forth doesn't cut it either. Why should consumers have to settle for something outdated when there is improved technology available.

Wouldn't be any different than any FF game either with that amount of cutscenes. Or even MGS to a lesser extent. Puckhog04

Because it's no big deal walking up to your 360 opening the DVD tray and putting a new disc in? It's like saying your too lazy to put toast in a toaster for gods sake.. why would you need this advanced technology to do everything for you unless you've got no legs and arms?..

I'm pretty sure your opinion on FF12 being beautful had nothing to do with the fact it was on 1 disc, it would still be the exact same game on 2-3-4 discs.

You're really grasping at straws now...

That happens a lot, actually. I couldn't finish ff9 because the 'thundaga' spell on disk three was scratched and the game would hang when a monster cast it. I had to borrow a disk instead from a friend. While the superiority between single-disk and multi-disk games is minor, it is a definite plus to never have to worry about morethan one disk.
