B...brilliant? Lost Odyssey was a steaming pile of dissapointment. Mistwalker hasn't put out a decent game since its conception. The entire studio needs to burn and die.

DIS IS RELEVANT TO MAH INTERESTS.

Did you at least play it?

Successful troll is successful.

I hope Uematsu does the soundtrack. LO's soundtrack is my favorite of this generation, RPG or not.

I don't like hearing the word 'rushed'...

@Dx2
Truer words have never been spoken by a pretentious, "look at me," town cryer with nothing better to do but shit on the opinion of the majority.

You don't like the game? Great. All the rest of that was uneccesary.

Don't worry about Dx2, who clearly doesn't know what a good game is, judging by that comment.

Mistwalker done a good job with Lost Odyssey, considering they took a big brave step away from Sqaure Enix, something many japanese developers still fear even trying. Next to Valkyria and Persona 3, its one of the leading lights of how to try new stuff in jrpgs.

I'll look forward to them, showing off their new baby.

I thought Lost Odyssey was amazing... It felt more like a Final Fantasy game than recent Final Fantasy games.

I have Blue Dragon. It's a pretty decent JRPG, don't bring anything new to the genre but it holds itself. Waiting for more from Sakaguchi-sensei.

Hooray!

With Xbox dying quick in Japan, the publisher is likely up their asses to get something out there that won't just use the platform to fund PS3 development. The other major JRPG players all self-publish to avoid this situation.

"Lost Odyssey was pretty good. It had far too many flaws though. Like60 seconds of useless camera panning before every battle The game was pretty damn short for 4 discs and even then it was artificially lengthened by prolonging every single fight. It also clearly recycled a lot of ideas from the Final Fantasy series."

the whole "too much loading before every battle!" was way too over-dramatized by message board gamers and your comment plays along with that.
you can time it with the music, 18 seconds into battle your in control

and it might be odd to mention the recycling of old FF concepts since every JRPG is a recycled concept

Good God give it to me!

Frankly, I want MistWalker to come to the PS3 side. I just don't see it surviving on the 360, at least not alone anyway. I mean, MS has pulled too much crap to make me EVER want to get their console. And so I'm am sidelined from purchasing games that I like just because I hate MS as a company so much.

And, yeah, I could get a 360. Problem is...there's like 5 games total that I'd actually care to play on it. Let's see LO, Halo 3 [just because, though I could live without...but might as well get it], Fable II [and this is a maybe at best], Mass Effect and now I have to push to those that I see coming in the future. Alan Wake, this new game from MW, Mass Effect 2 [possibly PS3 bound]. Toss in some Valve games and Bioshock...

Not enough there for me to care and buy a console that WILL break sooner rather than later and a company that tends to be shoddy. Got screwed with Vista myself, not having a choice since I was going to college and needed a PC. And speaking of PC, I'd rather spend 300+ upgrading my current system to play games then spend it on a 360...

Blue Dragon 2 is also in progress right? I guess their last project "Cry On" was canceled to focus on products that already have a fan base like LO 2 or BD 2.

I hope they will do some new IP ( as long as it is coming to 360, whether
multi-platform or not I don't care ) after the sequels are finished.

I would have bought Lost Odyssey if it was for ps3, and honestly, despite underwhelming reviews, I would have bought Blue Dragon too.

That said, neither have seen "really good" reviews or success. Would be nice to see this one change that.

@Drakengaurd
Bioshock is on ps3, and brand new it's cheap on amazon. Heard some people thought it was scary, but I get more scared playing Demon's Souls tbh. Bioshock was very disappointing, but it's playable at least.

@Aperfect Pushup
I'm not sure that means they're still in MS's pocket. They've already given them 3yearsish of exclusives despite maintaining a 3rd party title. Unless those games didn't sell enough to pay them back of course.

There never was a chance that the company would go bankrupt. Mistwalker is Microsofts most promising way to make it in the Japanese market. They would pump millions into Mistwalker before giving up this opportunity.

Love the JRPGs from Myst Walker.

Please NO random battles.
