![]() ![]() These memories are written by Kiyoshi Shigematsu who is known for his works like Naifu and Eiji. ![]() Since Kaim and the other eternals, sorry, immortals experience memory loss, you’ll unlock their memories as you progress through the game. Let’s start off with what makes Lost Odyssey rock solid: the Thousand Years of Memories and the combat. I’m here to discuss if the game was worth waiting all this time to finish and what playing it in 2022 was like. You have Sakaguchi, one of the creators of Final Fantasy, making the game so there’s going to be some similarities. Some have claimed the game is a FF rip-off but I’ve always found that critique to be, well, kind of dumb. I mean, there’s even a cranky old engineer character named Sed which sounds awfully similar to Sid. ![]() FF’s influence is on display in the game’s simplistic story and even the music is done by Nobuo Oeumatsu so you already know the music is going to be incredible. Lost Odyssey was developed by one of the big brains behind Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi. It’s up to Kaim and the gang to stop the big bad from taking control of all the magic and ruling the world. From there, the story unravels to reveal a conspiracy to take down the world governments. After returning from a battle that was ended abruptly by a meteor, Kaim is sent out to investigate a facility that produces and controls magic with two characters, Seth and Jansen. To catch you up in case you haven’t heard of this game, Lost Odyssey follows Kaim Argonar, a mercenary who can’t remember a lot of his past. So, is it as good as I remember? Well, not exactly. So for the most part a fun role-playing game for the Xbox 360.Now, 14 years later, I have finally finished Lost Odyssey and done as much of the side content as I could stomach. However, for the most part you are in store for a really good game, the fighting is fun, the side quests easy enough to do, and the ending was rather good as well. Look at Final Fantasy X.all on one disc, but it flowed very smoothly. Why on a next generation console is there so much loading? Why is the game broken down on four disks and they can not do a better job of transitions than they did is beyond me. There is also the fact that Kaim is the main character for most of the game, but he does not stand out in any way at the end, really standing back as the pirate Seth takes center stage. I wish Sed was in the story more than these two kiddies. One, Cooke and Mack are a bit annoying at times and they are in the story a lot. The problems with the game though are many too. Most of them are rather sad, but they add a lot to the game. However, the music was very good during the cut scenes called a thousand years of dreams, a series of stories telling of Kaim's past. The music is okay, though kind of minimal as it does not exactly blow you away. I like Hearts better cause there you used the rings for everything.here you only use it for the standard attack. Sort of like Shadow Hearts, but not quite as involved or as good. The fighting is basically turned based using at times a ring system that when timed right can cause extra damage in battles, causes elemental damage, and can inflict status ailments. During your many adventures Kaim regains his lost memories, his lost love, and his lost for good loved ones. He is joined by Seth another fellow immortal and Jansen who tags along at the request of the obvious villain Gongorra. ![]() The story has an immortal named Kaim who has no memories of his past sent on a mission to explore an object called Grand Staff. However, it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination as I almost gave this game an eight instead and it probably deserves an eight more. Yes, this more so than part twelve of Final Fantasy seems more like that series. ![]()
