Lost Odyssey (ex-FF all-star team makes a 360 game!)

[unrequited]

Wow, this looks pretty badass, and it's scoring okay on gamerankings. I'm liking that it's not only fantasy, and there's a lot of tech-machine craps. Plus it's Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Nobuo Uematsu is doing the original music (I hated fake Uematsu music in the last couple games).

Here's a good long review:

For the length of that review it doesn't say much. It is also not close to what the average score of the game on the net is. I might of missed it but I didn't hear the review speak about Lost Odyssey's LLLOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG load times and massive amount of filler. The other two reviews of the games I have read/heard both mention that more so then other J-RPG there is a ton of filler stuff to jsut waste your time and make the game longer. It is something like 4 CDs with 1 CD of good content.

Game Rankings gives the Lost Odyssey a 7.7, 1.1 less then Game Trailers does. Personally I find Game Trailers all flash, no substance.

it did mention the long load times, and its 4 dvd's not cd's. ill have to say being a die hard old school Final Fantasy fan this really gets me excited. FFX was pretty good but was just a bit set apart from what made me love FF. 11 was well...mmo. 12 was great with visuals but completely lost the FF feel, whatever that was, for me. ive had a tough time getting excited about FF13. this looks feels and even sounds more like FF than the last few iterations have.
