I enjoyed it enough to play through it a few times. I'd play it again if my 360 still worked.

No it's fucking garbage hyped up by Xbox fans who have been starved for a turn based jrpg since FFX.

Yeah, it's very solid. I recommend you don't skip the Thousand Year stories, because they have amazing writing.

It was one of the first JRPG's I played (with FFXII being the first)

It was extremely good. Not sure how well it's aged.

Man this is a controversial topic. I want to say that I enjoyed the game and the subject of immortality and the thousand years of dreams stories are what made me enjoy the game the most. I did like how you could slowly build up skills with certain characters from other team mates, so there's that customization aspect. It's definitely worth a try if you enjoy RPGs.

Yeah like Blue Dragon which somehow managed to be even worse. The best jrpg that was exclusive* to 360 was vesperia but that's not a turn based game.

While we're talking about 360 JRPGs, how about that Eternal Sonata? I think that's the only non-Persona JRPG I've ever completed it. It wasn't even that good.

Was that the one with instruments? Seems kinda dumb to ask based off the name lol. Man what was that ps3 jrpg where the characters like ran in a path and had guns?

Resonance of Fate. It was kind of dull

On topic Lost Odyssey is interesting at least. Not the best but not the worst either. Barely above average

I rather liked that game. The story wasn't all that and the characters are okay, but the battle system was this weird interesting cross between turn based and action that I thought was really cool.

I loved it. Was made by a lot of the PSX final fantasy people. Personally consider it the real next FF game after X. If you like FF IX you should like Lost Odyssey as it has many of the same RPG mechanics.

Agree with the kids though. They were annoying as fuck and there was one part you are forced to do a boss battle with them and if you havent levelled them up (hint: no one did) you were pretty screwed.

But your initial argument was that Xbox fans were starved for turn based games, but there weren't many turn based jrpg's that didn't go to both consoles that gen. You can dislike Lost Odyssey without making it a weird Xbox vs PS3 battle.

It's decent. But as it went on I kinda just wanted it to be over. The extra sad stories in there, it'll depend on your taste if you like them. The main story I did enjoy. The battle system has some good parts and some issues, including that it's REALLY slow.

Yeah it really should be the game between 12 and 13

Its okay the best story parts are entirely in text. Some of the characters come off as some combination of goofy, cringy, or annoying. It has its moments though. Its worth checking out because some people really loved it.

Yeah I think the battle system is why I kept playing. Just whenever the combat might have started to get old, it added some new system that made it more difficult to use while allowing you to do more damage. It was great.

I liked it, though the characters were a little flat for me and the kids were annoying.

I dont remember the battles being slower than most others, but I havent played it since it released. Plus, I still replay ps1&2 rpgs without speed boosts, so I may not be the best judge.

The stories were so melodramatic that it was hard to get through some of them without cringing

A problem I didn't encounter because I was grinding silver Kelolons to teach the immortals some of the useful magic the kids get super early.

I said PS2 not 3. There weren't many good jrpgs on the PS3 either. The entire generation in general was lacking in the jrpg department. At least on the home console department. Handhelds had some pretty good stuff.

No because every time I ran into a cutscene with those two characters I skipped it on account that it was too fucking cringe to watch.
