    This game is the true Final Fantasy XII (Blue Dragon is XI), I don't care what any of y'all say. After constant disappointments from post-Enix merge Final Fantasy finding this game was like a defibrillator for my love of great JRPGs. Only real downside was that its villain was pretty boring. But the story was great, the backstory was even better, Kaim is the best Final Fantasy protagonist. Yes, he's a Final Fantasy protagonist. Fuck you. But he's really interesting and every new chapter of the Thousand Years of Dreams was just the right kind of feelsy or heartbreaking and genuinely engaging to read, probably my favourite part of the game. Mack was sweet and Cooke was fun and I usually hate kid characters. I couldn't stand Jensen at first and even he ended up developing into a really likeable character by the end. This game has everything I miss in old JRPGs apart from an overworld. I love vanilla turn-based combat and I love random encounters. Fight me.
    Oh yeah, and Nobuo Uematsu. No further comment needed.

      Editing … In fact I decided to add all the soundtrack songs as pages and in doing so I'm re-listening to the ost on YouTube and goddamn, I forgot just how amazing it is

      Editing … Nobuo Uematsu is awesome. He also did a great soundtrack for The Last Story, but that game spent too much time switching between some whack Call of Duty-style corridor action...

    Well, the game is long. And frustrating at times. I still liked it, though. The game tells a pretty decent story for what it's worth. And the ring battle system sports a surprising amount of depth for such a tedious tactical game. In the end, I liked it, but it was clearly designed for the experienced JRPG fan who prefers methodical planning.

    It's free https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Lost-Odyssey/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307fa?noSplash=1
    so, guess I own it now
    can't play it
    but own it
    it's backwards compatible, so if I ever get an Xbone, I can play it.

    Hugely disappointing, I was expecting something as good as Final Fantasy.

    One interesting thing I've learned about the 360 since I bought one is that it has games with multiple discs. Somehow I never knew this before. It's like I'm back in 1999!

    I have a serious beef with #Nobuo Uematsu. He made this soundtrack, and when I listen to it, I feel like my heart is going to burst with *feelings*. The battle themes make me want to dance and take me back to the various battles and boss fights throughout the game, the sadder tunes make me want to cry. This soundtrack makes me feel nostalgic. *Nostalgic*. I LITERALLY BEAT THIS GAME ONE MONTH AGO

      Editing … I felt it was too small in scope and not particularly well written. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid game, but it's not an epic masterpiece like Lost Odyssey.

    Once I got past the early sections, I was hooked. They made it a point to make this game challenging--you can't brute force your way through much and every boss requires a very specific strategy to defeat it. I'd score this game a lot higher if it weren't for the storytelling flaws. The story isn't complicated, which is fine. However... this game might take about 60 hours to beat (if you don't go for achievements) and yet there are many basic exposition-type questions which the game NEVER answers or explains in all of that time, and expects the player to be fine with that. Bit of a pet peeve of mine. I've seen much more complicated back stories get fleshed out (sometimes ad nauseum) in shorter RPGs. Great character development though, and at several points it's very emotional and moving. The Thousand Years of Dreams episodes (slice of life stories about the Immortals) are especially well written. Absolutely give this game a try if you like classic RPGs.

      Editing … I'm not sure I've ever seen someone praise the gameplay and complain about the story in this game. Usually it's the other way around. Maybe when Xbox 360s are about 50 dollars I'll play this and Forza Motorsport.

      Editing … Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate the story, I just have questions about the back story still and that's ridiculous considering I finished the game. Gonna buy the DLC and go for those achievements though, it's only $1 :U
