User Rating: 8 | Lost Odyssey X360
lost odyssey is a very solid, engaging, fun, and tear provoking rpg. as for as stoies go, i think the writers goal was to try and make you try at every turn. some might think it sappy or overdone, but they did it fantastically. as for graphics and visuals, it's right up there with the industry. the turn based battles are well done. the turn list queue could be better, but not anything to complain about. the ring system is well implemented. again, it could be a bit better, but it makes a huge difference if you use it right. i love that you can change equipment and formation during battle, plus. the battles can get very repetitive, but what rpg doesn't after a time. the skills system is great. the difference between the immortals and mortals is nice. it really makes you choose the skills to use. the leveling is different than most games, but works great when you figure it out. the story is the best part of this game. it tugs at your heart, keeps you guessing, and wraps you up so you almost forget you're playing a game. the writing for the dialogue is expertly done. jansen is hilarious and there is much comedy throughtout the game which helps lighten it up from the seriousness of the main story. the writing in the dreams could be better but works as it is supposed to be memories.
in all, one of the most enjoyable rpgs on the market. if you're an rpger, buy this game.
