Lost Odyssey review

"Lost Odyssey" is the story of Kaim, an immortal character who has lived more than 1,000 years and doesn't remember his past and doesn't know where his future lies. Throughout Kaim's journey, a handful of characters will join him on an odyssey to discover their intricate past and destiny, leading players through a dramatic story of massive scale. "Lost Odyssey" will feature breathtaking visuals and an epic adventure made possible only by the power of Xbox 360. Engaging and unparalleled emotional story. With story sequences penned by award-winning Japanese novelist Kiyoshi Shigematsu in cooperation with producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, "Lost Odyssey" sets a new benchmark for the RPG genre with a combination of true-to-life cinematics and the story of an immortal man who has been suffering in many ways for 1,000 years. Players will witness Kaim's life as he lives through many generations, becomes part of numerous families, falls in and out of love, and confronts all of the conflicts that arise. Kaim's struggles are set in a world that is on the verge of a "mystical industrial revolution," where mankind has attained dark powers.

im about 29 hours into the game and im loving evey second of this game. The biggest thing I can say about it is that it feels very much like final fantasy VIII. The way you move and the way the fights play out remind me of that game, thus I started that game again as well. This is a traditional style RPG with random battles as well as random saves. So Brett im sorry you will hate this one because it has the things you hate the most. So Gamefly it man! But that aside the story is very cool and the visuals look amazing, its def. a game that everyone should give a try at least. The combat is cool where it has this "ring system" which basically is like materia in your sword or person. You basically create these rings or buy them and add them to your list. You trigger the ring by pulling the right trigger and releasing it when the circle matches up with another circle and then you do the effects of the ring plus more damage. The same with the magic you almost have to learn stuff to use magic and what not. The major problems seem to be that the load times can be a pain in the sword as well as the glichy framerate in cutscenes/battles. That seems to be the only complaint on my end for the game itself. The biggest complaint I have is the box. Its the worst idea ever that you get a fucking sleeve for the 4th disc. WHY WOULD I WANT A DISC IN THE SLEEVE!!! That so dumb mistwalker, put the damn game in the extra holder as apart of the case jesus. That really ticked me off more than anything. But all in all I recommend this one to all you RPG fans out there who want something originaly styled with a good story and combat.
