First off, I'd like to say that I've been a pretty big RPG fan since I was little. Chrono Trigger(Super Nintendo) was the game that got me hooked on the RPG genre. Lost Odyssey caught my interest when it was first announced, so I started reading up on it a lot, and talking to people who imported to get as much info. as I could. After a lot of research I picked it up on the day of launch. Needless to say, I couldn't put it down.
To not drag this out: This game doesn't do anything new, but it does everything right you'd expect from a traditional RPG. Amazing story, great characters, a solid battle system, and a New Game+ mode. This has everything to offer for RPG thirsty fans looking for a next-gen RPG.
Pros:
+ Timed hit system put in place to keep the battles from lacking interaction
+ Insane graphics, the unreal engine is nice and allows for some crazy facial expressions. The scenery is really well designed
+ The sprinting/running in this game is quick! Mistwalker did this since they knew how walking slow in some RPGs can be painful.
+ The "Ring Assembly" system is neat. Allows you to combine accessories for some pretty wicked ones. These help in battle since you can switch at will (adds some tactics to the boss battles)
+ Anti-Grind system - they scale exp so people know when it's time to move on w/o overpowering there characters. Hardcore RPGs can still grind if they want, but at least they let it be known when you're at a good level (to keep the game challenging).
+ Boss battles are no pushover. Assuming you don't spend hours and hours building your team up to insane levels, the bosses in this game will be no pushover.
+ New game plus - allows you to start your game over with some of the stuff you had in your previous file.
+ One of the best Soundtracks in awhile. The man behind much of the Final Fantasy series is on board with Mistwalker, and it's very good.
Cons:
- None. The loading time issues you read in some reviews is gone. This was only on the "Review build" of the game. The retail versions DO NOT suffer from lag like they say. Many youtube videos prove this, and were made specifically to show how the loading times are fixed. Many sites like Gamestop even admitted this recently.
Go buy this game now if you like Japanese style RPGs.

I've been waiting for the Xbox answer for FF since the original xbox came out. And my waiting has finally been rewarded.
Don't listen to the doomthinkers about this game. If you liked the Turnbased (important!!) editions of FF you will without a doubt like this game. This play's and feel like a FF game, The only downside is the beginning of the game, There is a lot of watching at first (the story is great so it is only a small downside)But once it picks up your in RPG heaven. With super graphics and sound, great story and a slick turnbased actionsystem.
The loadingtimes are really not that bad, not nearly the half a minute to a minute some reviews or people has been saying, they are about 5 to 12 secondes.
I'm not going to stretch this review, I'm going to make this simple if you like FF (once again the turnbased editions, i can't stress this enough!!)you can absolutely do no wrong here. Like some reviews says it doesn't do anything new, but does FF even does this? Nope FF is FF it doesn't need big changes. So why should LO have too then?
RPG lovers over the world. BUY THIS NOW!!!

Impressive,most impressive. I new when I first saw the trailer for this game that it was gonna be something special. This is the best RPG released on the Xbox platform so far,bar none. Gorgeous graphics an engaging story and spot on controls make this my favorite game so far for the Xbox. This is what every Xbox owning FF fan has been waiting for. The answer to our Japanese RPG craving is Lost Odyssey. What are you sitting here reading this review for when you could be playing this masterpiece?

I'm sort of a ps3 fan that owns a 360. I grew up playing on playstation because of all the RPG's. Well, I didn't want to like this game, but I do. In fact, I love it. It is the BEST game on the 360 to date...the best game on ANY next-gen console IMO. Blue Dragon pales in comparison to Lost Odyssey...now enough praise, here's why.
1. Beautiful storyline--Starts out slow, but definitely picks up.
2. Loading tmes are NOT 30 seconds--more like 5-10 seconds
3. Great Graphics
4. I love the "Dreams"
5. Great battle system...I love it.
6. Great art direction--creature & world design is excellent
7. Tear shedder--the game can make you cry (in a good way)...seriously.
Anyhow, I'm 100% surprised by this game. I still don't like the 360 much and think the hardware is crap...but this game is top notch and a reason to overlook the RRoD...it's a must own title. If it comes to pc, buy it then...if not, you might want to borrow/rent (maybe even buy) a 360--it's that good. This will easily be the best RPG until FFXIII comes out. Easily.

Well this is the game for you. Of course, if you own a 360, don't mind getting emotional, loves a good story and don't mind turn-based Jrpg's. With so few JRPG's on next-gen consoles, spending 60-70Hrs on this game is well worth it.
You can keep on waiting for FF13, for some but there is nothing else out there, that will rival the FF series, based on intriguing stories, gameplay and battle mechanics. I've played a bunch of w/jRPG's and this has been the only game that have made me felt somewhat emotional. Well ever since "Aries" died in FFVII of course.
1. [spoiler] - The whole part where "Kaim" and his "Much Older than him" Daughter and her kids. The mission changes right there..
[spoiler]
Anyhow, music in this game does evict emotion. Of course "Noubo Uemastu" at his best. You have to have the patience to read the dreams that are presented throughout. I know they can be Emotional but I feel like, it will all, tie in, at the end.
I heard some gamers cry fowl because they don't like to read but there is a reason this guy "Kaim" has lived and seen so much Much of it, has not been pretty with so many deaths. Anyhow, I'm only 19 Hrs in and still on the first Disc. Level 19..Long ways to go but I have not enjoyed an "JRPG" like this since FF10 and FFVII. I'm 40 Hrs on FF12 but has taken the back seat. If you like "turn-base" and have a 360, GET THIS GAME. Besides the "little flaws" mention on these reviews, it's been a masterpiece so far with the different ways of "Story-Telling" and "Music", as well as Visuals.
With "Hironubo Sakaguchi + "Noubo Uemastu" Combo, you can't go wrong. The best in the business.
