Settle this! Anyone got LO who hasnt played FF??

All these posts ive read about people saying Lost Odyssey is awesome are people who are FF fans!!

They keep saying if you like FF you will like this! Or they love it its the best since FF X or whatever...

Is there anyone who isnt a FF who has LO?

Im talking about a guy who plays Mass Effect, Oblivion, Bioshock, call of duty 4...someone who isnt a FF fanboy,

or hasnt been a huge RPG buff, but who has LO and thinks its awesome????????

bumb

I played every one of those games.

But not FF. And I have LO.

I love playing WRPGs and have played all the games you listed above. They are one of my favourite genres.

I have played a few JRPGs. I have never played any FF games. These games are not my favourite genre...they are hit and miss to me.

I am 25% through Lost Odyssey. It is a great game. Very fun, very engaging story, very addictive....but all in a completely different way.

It is very linear. Turn based combat. Not very difficult to figure out what to do next. Not much to do beyond the main quest.

But, the quest is great. Turn based combat can be fun and is a change of pace. Great story. Great acting. Outstanding background information in the dreams.

Hope that helps

My friends play it, but they're all FF nerds, and say that the games have the best stories ever put in games.... *cough*... LOL!!!

FF stories are like saturday morning cartoon stories! They suck all to hell and the characters are one-dimensional fan-meats!

Anyway, yeah, I hate JRPGs now. I used to love them, but then I realised it was because I had been brainwashed into thinking I liked them (probably like everyone else), and that I wasn't having any fun pushing a single button to watch a character run across the the room/field, hit the enemy, then pop back into place... nothing special, but a good hit to the face. Oh yeah, and sometimes you can miss for no good reason other than the fact that it's a dice rolling game... ooooow, this is fun playing a digital version of D&D with lots of dice rolling...

Again, all my FF friends play the hell out of this and think it's great, while I laugh at them and continue to play CoD4 and Mass Effect. And yes, I love Mass Effect. Yes, there are many things people dislike about it, but I come from an educated family, and I like story-telling and character development that doesn't require the main character to be comepletely voiceless and have spikey hair. Oh, and a REALLY big sword.... and a large group of stereo-typical FF friends...

I hate FF so much.

Thats pretty helpful...thanks...

Is this game more slow paced then Oblivion??

i have never really been forn of jrpg's (i only played a little of Final Fantasy X and it was alright) but I bought Lost Odyssey on whim, and I am loving it. The story is amazing, and the game is terribly addicting lol. I loved Oblivion, Mass Effect, Bioshock etc, and I am LOVING this. It is a great change of pace.

id say go for it. At the very least, rent it.

Lolllll exactly what I think about FF and others JRPGs

The only FF I have ever played was FF7. I popped it in my PS1 and almost threw up over how bad the visuals are. I played for 2 mins, then after beating the guards when you come off the train, I couldn't take anymore. I will not likely every go near another FF.

I love LO, however.

When Final Fantasy VII came out, it's graphics were amazing. If graphics are that important to you I feel sorry for you. When I was a kid I played a ton of Atari 2600 and had a blast doing it. Gameplay and story are what is important, not graphics.
