Current Events > Hey Microsoft, yall remember the 360 game Lost Odyssey?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Jansen sucked

The stories were good but everything else sucked ass lets be real

Don't you mean Lost Planet

Why would it need a remaster? It's fucking backwards compatible and playable across 3 gens.

The Series already boosts its performance. You are asking for a waste of time and resources.

Too much reading, wasn't very interesting, way too easy, and brown and gray

It was never on Steam

Lost Odyssey has me convinced that jrpg fans don't actually care about the quality of a story, they just want to play as plucky little kids defeating an evil pope or something.

We're talking about a game made by final fantasy veterans, with an actual turn-based battle system that still includes an active element, with classic open world exploration, a cast of characters that involves adults dealing with real world adult problems, and a unique twist around immortals that hadn't been used in a prior game. As a complete package it should have been a smash hit, and I can't help but feel like if the game was called final fantasy and not Lost Odyssey people would be holding it up as one of the best examples in the genre.

There was just something about it that wasnt as enjoyable as the final fantasy games imo. I could never finish it.

lolwut

the game had so many complaints about boss battles in particular being difficult. I remember there being a lot of whining about it on GFAQs in particular

Yea. Those two kids sounded like Rugrats characters.

Literally only the first two bosses were hard. The rest of the game was super easy.

yes it was i have it

As opposed to other JRPGs of the time where every boss is super easy? Ozma from FFIX was sort of difficult as an optional boss for the first time, and the SMT games have some difficulty, but JRPGs aren't exactly difficult.

There's lots of difficult JRPGs. FF13 hunts were pretty hard and it was on the same system. Admittedly it's all optional content but it's a lot of it not just one boss.

No, the story/characters were both boring and that would have been the case even if it were a Final Fantasy title.

I laughed at how every dream story went.

I sat there in silence at a table in the corner of the bar. You could hear the heavy rain coming down from outside, the sound of strong wind batting against the walls and thunder rumbling above. A few others were huddled in the bar seeking shelter from the storm, a couple seemingly just wed, a priest, and a large man seven drinks deep. The large man turned and looked at me, his brow furrowed and he squinted with intensity, and then a smile washed over his face.

"Kaim?", the man exclaimed as he got up from his chair and began to hurriedly make his way towards me,"Why if it isn't my old frie- *hurgh*", he said before he rolled his ankle and died. His body laid there until the storm passed, I didn't recognize him and now will never know who he was. Shit was sad.

One beautiful autumn afternoon I stopped to pee next to an old oak. I gazed about the area spotting, a family of quail, a squirrel feverishly storing nuts for the coming winter, and an old man. The old man watched me pee for a time, before he waddled over. He began to excitedly regail me with tales of a life well lived. He then stopped, and looked down. My pee had formed a rather large puddle at our feet. The man looked back up with a sparkle in his eye, and told me of the last thirty years of his life. How he had met a beautiful woman, gotten married, and settled down in the forest. He told me that his wife took ill, and no medicine would help. He shed a tear after telling me she died.

"Why are you telling me this?", I asked, pondering if I had met this man before in my long life.

"Cause that's her grave yer pissin' on you bastard!", he exclaimed as he brought a knife forward with his left hand. I caught it easily, without disturbing my stream of urine, and tossed the knife aside. The old man's eyes bulged and his right hand grasped his chest tightly before he collapsed into the puddle. A heart attack. Shit was sad.
