Even if you take time to savor your games, chances are the two months since the release of Lost Odyssey have given you ample time to finish the epic title. So now what do you do? Take up archery? Learn how to knit? Well, you could always jump back in to Kaim's quest with a new DLC pack.
Microsoft plans to release fresh downloadable content for Lost Odyssey in Japan on 10th April.
It'll involve travelling to a secret underwater research facility in your Nautilus ship, according to Watch Impress, and will cost 400 Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80).
Microsoft could be planning to expand role-playing game Lost Odyssey into a series.
Word comes by way of the Japanese head of Xbox 360, who told regional media giant Nikkei (spotted by All RPG) that "the series" will continue grow as time went on.
He believes this will more than make up for rather disappointing sales of the title so far - the current figure stands at 100,000.
For fans of RPGs, Lost Odyssey is a comfy old pair of shoes. On the other hand, if the thought of random battles makes you pale then playing this would be like walking on broken glass. Basically, it's a game of opposites: easily one of the best-looking titles on any platform built on the most traditional roleplaying foundations in gaming. It's incredibly annoying, ridiculously overblown in its story, and sometimes even laughably hamfisted.
@Joe80, I have to say that this game is amazing. Basicly read the reviews at metacritic. The only one that is all wrong is the one that scores it a 50. All the other ones are right on (give or take). As many say, if you love this genre, you will love this game. You can see a lot of his past works (like FF7) in the game. It definitely continues his legacy of great RPG games. I agree Blue Dragon was a disappointment, but this game is not.
I was wondering if anyone has played this? I was looking forward to it for years, then became apprehensive after how Blue Dragon turned out and from the reviews this has received. However, I just read in a forum about how much most everyone loves this game and thinks its one of the best rpgs of all time.
Following discrepancies between review copies and final retail copies noted by Game Informer and users (in particular, differences in loading times), GameSpot will replay the game using bought retail copies and may rescore the game.
If you just fundamentally don't like the genre, then there's a chance that Lost Odyssey will fail to convert you. If you're too attached to the sorts of innovation introduced by the likes of Final Fantasy XII, there's a chance that it's just too old-fashioned for your cutting-edge tastes. But if you've got the patience to sit through its slow build up, and if you're open-minded enough to allow it to transport you, then it will take you to places that other JRPGs haven't even dreamed of visiting.
