The animations aren't a big concern to me anymore really that ship has sailed for me when I first saw it and I thought the animations were funny looking so I accepted it then and didn't expect to see much improvement.

The load times, however, are my biggest beef with the game, but again its something I'm more than prepared to deal with because I want the game so much. I know it interferes with the experience, but I don't think it will be quite enough to seriously impact my enjoyment of this particular game.
Maybe the load times are not always that bad, once Joli pulls himself of the game for a sec, maybe he can post on if its just a minor nuance or not? Do you know if the English version of the book a thousand dreams is out yet?

Thats true some confirmation on the load times would be helpful.

Would you consider it a very serious problem?


Or something that can be annoying at times, but for the most part manageable?

Not sure about the book, but I'm definitely buying everything I can get that has to do with this game. I want the game guide too I hear it has some nice art and something called switch? I'll have to see.

The animations can be bad I will admit, almost embaressingly so, but it doesn't bother me that much, some devs just can't afford good animators. (on top of their ever growing budget)

The glasses are an accessory, you get linked attributes which you learn whilst they are equiped, you gain SP each fight and learn the ability that is asigned to that item, once they are learnt you can get rid of the item and select the abiltity from the menu.

Immortals can also get the advantage of learning abilities from mortals, so Kiam for example can learn white magic if he wants.

They can also learn their special attacks, although I haven't come across many of them so far.

And yes the loading times are quite bad, nothing too bad though.

Bad animations aren't just exclusive LO. Mass Effect also had some pretty pathetic looking animations. Sometimes they have great animations but at other times Shepard and his crew move weird. But that doesn't really bother me so much that it destroys the game. As for framerate problems, this game isn't an FPS so I don't really care about that either.

I've seen some fps jitters, but they aren't that bad imo.

Sure I would like for everything to be perfect, but in the grand scheme of things I'm glad combat gameplay runs really nice and from what I've seen of the out of combat areas those run pretty good to me as well.

Its all about the story, characters, beautiful art and fun combat. If at all possible I try not to get too caught up in the technical aspects unless its bad to the point where I can't accept it.

Already posted this over at GAF, but for anyone who has a nicovideo.jp account, the users over there are posting Lost Odyssey videos showing off early and later stages in the game. They keep adding videos, so check back every now and then.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%E3%...
That's the LO tag, beware of some spoilers though from some of the videos, so watch at your own risk I guess.


If you don't have an account, this is how you make one.

Well well, Mass Effect comparisons here?

Mass Effect was not a technical mess, and I don't know about LO. Mass Effect had several technical problems, but not enough to be a mess, not even close.

ME can look unbelievable, and it does for the most time. It can look jaggy but at certain moments it looks super clean for some reason. Driving on the planets is simply jaw-dropping, every single time you do it.

It does have frame drops (horrible in some areas), it does have tearing, and lots of pop-in, but I'll expand on that in due time. If it didn't look as amazing as it does, I would agree it would be a mess. If it wasn't the only other game that has tried to come up with decent facial expressions since Half Life 2, maybe.

Now as far as story, so far it is the more cohesive story yet. There simply is NOTHING you don't understand why is there, why something happened, etc. Everything in this game is explained one way or another. Some one here called the side missions boring, and not only do I disagree, some side missions' story alone have more depth than most fps out there.

LOL comparing it to Shenmue.. thats just wrong..

I would say this game does facial animations just as good as ME, when the characters cry you actually see the tears build up in their eyes and it actually causes refraction, thats attention to detail if i ever saw it.

Sadly the animation doesn't carry over to the rest of their body and it looks like the animator didn't know what to do with the character hands, or just got bored and repeated the same animation over.

Been playing for 20 hours now and still not finished disc 2 :D (got 7 of the 9 playable characters)

Although I got stuck on a puzzle for about 2 hours lol :P
