An enjoyable, emotional ride which deserves to be experienced, even with turn based.

Lost Odyssey is a pretty great game. Definitely not the best, but still fun. You are a legendary warrior named Kaim, who has lost his memory after a bloody war. After you waker up, you get thrown into a storyline so deep and saddening, you might even want to cry. Kaim soon realizes as the game goes along, that maybe his memories shouldn't be remembered, as whenever he recovers one they are only of pain and death. Imagine that, have to perform missions and quests for the main council, while slowly retrieving your depressing memories along the way. Anyways, the story of Lost Odyssey is so amazing and rich with detail, that's the main reason why it deserves such a hi rating.
Now, gameplay and battle system. The battle system is like an original japanese turn based RPG, except they have added a few elements more, like great spells to blow your enemies to bits, and the use of "bands" in which you can, if you land it at the right time, inflict lots more damage to your opponents. But, after all the combat goodness, comes the factor: can it get boring/ repetitive? The answer unfortunately, is yes. The gameplay you'll soon realize in your adventures thru lost odyssey will get repetitive, and a bit boring. It's pretty much, taking turns, whacking enemies, done, taking turns, whack enemies, done, and repeat that order.
Aside from the fact this game has INSANE graphics, and the great story, there are some flaws that need to be fixed. For example, soon into the game, as you go to investigate "the grand staff", you come across this boss called Bogimoray, who is waaay too tough for your current level. It's ridiculous, actually, how the put such a tough boss for you to face right in the beginning, as he can totally own you in a matter of minutes with his paralysis. Also, there were a few times where I got quite bored playing Lost Odyssey.
Either than that, Lost Odyssey does deliver, and, hey, you might not be like me and enjoy turn- based gameplay, it's just not my type of thing. So, try it out,
