So I finally beat Lost Odyssey...
Faceless \| 9:39 PM on 05.26.2008	8 comments

After a few months of playing it, and after two or three week long breaks, I finally beat Lost Odyssey. I was trying to get most of the side quests done beforehand, but I didn't realize how much that entailed. With my immortals in the upper seventies, and my playtime around 65 hours I still had a good bit left to do. Up to the end I was still surprised at how much I like this game. I didn't expect too much after Blue Dragon's overall meh-ness, but I really enjoyed the story. I can't remember the last game that punched me in the face so many times with the concept of mortality. And when a good story is mixed with what is essentially an SNES RPG with pretty graphics, I am a very happy person. I just wish the book containing all of the "Thousand Years of Dreams" short stories would be released in the US.

So am I late to this party or was everyone overwhelmed by the length of this game as well?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I just got a 360 a couple of weeks ago and I was wanting a good RPG. And most people tell me to get Lost Odyssey instead of the others available mainly because of the story. But I dont really much time, but it looks good, I'm a torn soul.

I'm on the last disc but then GTA came out..then MGS4 comes..then NG2...then maybe I'll come back to this and actually beat it.

I would have spent just as much time as you did but I only rented it so I finished it at about 49 hours, iirc.

I've got Lost Odyssey sitting on the shelf, waiting for me to start. Finished Eternal Sonata a few days ago and I don't know if I want to immediately become consumed by another RPG. I'll get to it eventually, even with the length, I've heard mostly good things about the game.

Lost Odyssey is one of my summer games I'm aiming to get through. Really freaking excited to play through it.

I still haven't fucking touched my game.

You're not late to the party, hun.
