This game is comming out in Feb. Anyone who likes final fantasy type games should check it out.

"Lost Odyssey is a truly next-generation RPG created by acclaimed artists Takehiko Inoue (Japanese manga creator, made famous by Slam Dunk), Kiyoshi Shigematsu (a famous Japanese novelist) and Nobuo Uematsu (Japanese music composer, known for creating the music for the FINAL FANTASY series of games). The game is produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the original FINAL FANTASY series.

Lost Odyssey's storyline takes the player through Kaim's life, a man who has been sentenced to live for 1,000 years. He lives through multiple generations, becomes a part of many families, falls in and out of love and gets into conflicts. All this is set in a world that is on the verge of a mystical industrial revolution, where mankind has attained dark powers.
"



Also, several other good games will be comming out in 2008. They are at least worth a rent if not a buy.

That one looks good, I'll be sure to check it out in Feb.

It looks cool, but I'm kind of scared of all of the reading that's supposedly in the game. I don't mind reading, but it seems like a book and a video game shouldn't necessarily be the same thing. Who am I kidding, though? Of course I'll buy it. The music in the trailer from a long time ago pretty much has me sold.

Did you play Blue Dragon? I figure I'll get it at some point, even though the reviews weren't the strongest.

I haven't played Blue Dragon, I'm an RPG fan but unless the game gets good reviews I don't normally buy them.

Yeah, I'm waiting for it to be cheap enough that I won't feel ripped off if it doesn't bowl me over. I actually think I would enjoy it enough. I'm sure there are a lot of games I would enjoy that I'm letting slip by me just because the reviews weren't high enough.

I played the BD demo and was not completely impressed. To be honest, I have not really played any of the turnbased RPG games on the 360.. or any new system really.

I did love the old school turnbasd RPG's on nintendo such as:

final fantasy I
dragon warrior
dungeon magic
swords and serpants, ect.

I would like to give blue dragon another try, along with eternal sonata and enchanted arms.

I played the demo for eternal sonata and it seemed pretty fun.


Anyway, I thought that lost odyssey looked like a pretty good game... even if it does come on 4 discs!

I am interested in checking out this game. It is turn based combat right? That is something that I find pretty fun and strategic.

I'll see what the reviews are like on this one in North America.

Yes it is turn based. I read in a preview somewhere that they have done some things to enhance the turnbased style a bit... not sure exactly what though

Did anyone pick up Lost Odyssey yet? I think I still might, but it would have been easier if the reviews were generally a little higher. I had it preordered on Amazon.com, and then I changed my mind about preordering. However, Amazon.com still sent me a code for use with Xbox Live Marketplace that you get by preordering. It gives you an extra weapon and dream, apparently.

But yeah, I'm interested in any impressions people here have.
