I thought it was weird how that scenario at the beginning occurred as well. Also, if you talk to the soldiers at the beginning when you are going to the council they are kinda talking down to Kaim. I would be a little bit nicer to someone if they were immortal.. lol

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
The beginning is a little weird and kind of slow. The dialog was interesting, I was hoping I could take Kaim and lay a beatdown on the soilder who told me to stop horsing around. The story is cool though and once you get going it is awesome. Understandable as stated before by others that the game might not be for everyone.
Does anyone know how to get a water ring? I am without one at a time where I might need it to get past a stage.Comment

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
Ok that first memory about the little girl, my gosh...it was hard to not shed a little tear at the end. Its a shame that some people are skipping these, it adds a lot to the experence.Comment

And they only get sadder. Kaim has definately got to be on a lot of list for best hero at the end of the year.Comment

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
I just picked this game up and played for about an hour (I have a lot of schoolwork, I'll play tonight).
What I like:
1) The music is fantastic: Uematsu does it again.
2) The voice acting- I used the English track for a little bit, and its arguably the best English voice acting in a JRPG in my experience. However, I still prefer hearing the Japanese track (bad anime habits die hard).
3) The graphics are gorgeous- the player models are ridiculous and the worlds are detailed so beautifully.
Load times are irrelevant, especially when compared to far lengthier load times on ME. Those review sites really need to revise their reviews on that subject. Sure there is some framerate stuttering in certain areas, but the game runs really well.
The opening cinematic was awesome! This feels like, for lack of a better word, an epic game. Mass Effect felt like a movie but this game evokes feelings I haven't felt since FFVII where each step in the story is something special. For anybody who even remotely liked games like FFVII-IX, BUY this game. You won't regret it.
Oh, buy this game from Target: you get a $10 gift card with it!

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
I'm skipping most of the dreams because they take me out of the main story for too long. But I do go back and view them when I'm in the mood for a good read.

Well, I've reached the Crimson Forest and one of those little blue restore-all points. The urge to grind a few levels has now asserted itself.Comment

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
Is there any reason to bother with making Ultra rings? Seems like they're for people who just positively suck at the ring mechanic....Comment

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
Ugh, running into a lot of freezing and dirty disc errors on disc 3. Cleared cache and it didn't work. I am really hoping it's the disc and not the console, I just got this **** back last month.PS: You guys are great.

Re: Lost Odyssey Impressions
Thats funny and sad...MS is should be ashamed.
Anywho, I'm really starting to warm up. The battles are getting more interesting, and those dreams are haunting. Great writing there, and the music sets the tone beautifully. I think something gets lost in translation on the script sometimes...the way the Japanese communicate is just different...but I'm starting to appreciate this for what it is. A JRPG (like what was I expecting, lol?)
In that mountain hut, you could face the screen with Kaim and do a closup...they did a really great job with the Unreal engine on that guy. The grafx are very impressive.
