It's quite good when you get Ming Namura in your party as you can then mix spells and get some interesting results there are over 200 variations.

I currently only have level one magic in her class, but she deals pretty big area spells like meteor, quake, tsunami and tornado.

Although supposedly immortals can't learn new magic on there own so I don't know how you level up in this class.Nice one :)

This could be the same as the other I posted, they look similar.

Anyway, the babel translations look like rubbish to me, so don't know if these will really help you any :p

Ok someone over at gamefaq told me, you have to steal the gate pass from the soliders in battle..

Thank Fuck for that!!

Welcome to the forum mistwalkerfan

Heh pretty nifty incorporating what takes place in a battle as a means to help solve a puzzle in the game world.

Also welcome aboard mistwalkerfan. Not the first jrpg to do that if I remember correctly, but nice touch. Its good to know I wont have any problems with it when I eventually reach that point in the game haha :)

Just finished disc 2, first time fighting Gangora, he kicked our asses to say the least.. :D

Damn I'm scared to even look at that spoilered part, but was it awesome?

What is your take on the game so far? Gotta avoid as many spoilers as possible especially since I'm playing it myself now.

You'll have to wait and see ;)

Found out that you can learn the combination magic through link skills on items, only goes up to level 3 by the looks of it.

Haha good enough for me :)

Is that spoilered part a monster spoiler by any chance? I'm so tempted lol.

Okay I couldn't help it and looked at the spoiler phew not so bad heh.

So you decided to edit that spoiler tag in Jolli? That's what I get for being early and catching it before you did so :p


But it wasn't that big of a spoiler I thought, so no big.

OH MY GOD!!! lol :D

I'm in heaven here.

SHUT UP! :P ... you lucky bastards! :(

Yea sorry, don't wana spoil it for anyone. :D

My memory is kind of fuzzy right now(Finals), but will this have a world map like in Blue Dragon? Where you can control that submarineship and go on magical adventures?

You can control the ship/submarine on a world map yea, but whilst on foot you have a map like FF10 where you choose the destination.

I uploaded the Dinosaur Boss fight, if anyone wants the link PM me, 720x480 this time although the sound is a bit jumpy in spots.

Whoa was that another special skill I saw from Seth? Well surprise surprise.

Or perhaps its just a double attack ability on her part. Hmm I wonder if we'll end up seeing more combos of that nature from her and even Kaim.

Nah was a special double attack.

Seth and Kiam have no abilities of their own.

....

Oh yea guess what.... I'm stuck again LMAO.

haha damn :)

Oh Nice video. Thanks Jolli

So how many hours have you clocked in now ? and what disk are you at ? Story still living up to your expectations ? is it getting harder ?

Would appreciate it if you can answer. Thanks :D dont know what we would do with you jolli :D

Im at 32 hours (although wasted a lot of that being stuck) I'm at the end of disc 3, but to be honest the story has got a bit crap :(

Its become rather cliche, also I have noticed that before (on disc 1 and 2) when you started a battle it would show the battle area befoe the menu system poped up, but now it just freezes the screen and has the purple swirly encounter screen come up. (guess they must have really rushed this game out)

Figured out what I was stuck on now though, so hoping to complete the game today/tomorrow.

Hopefully the story will pick up a bit, I'm still enjoying it either way.

Still on disc 2 and had a look at duckrolls impressions over at gaf

and I have to agree with the loading, but I'm not really seeing the problem he mentions during battles and the slowdowns that I have seen in cutscenes don't strike me as too bad, but thats my opinion on that so maybe they just aren't too big a deal for me personally.

Regarding his comments on the story now clearly I'm not as far into the game as he is and I definitely know what he's trying to say about feeling the game should take that extra step towards epicness or excitability given the themes it has to work with thus far, but at the very same time I think with so many characters its important for the game to be exploring those interactions between the characters to develop and advance their relationships with one another. He mentions wanting certain things to take center stage, but I on the otherhand feel they received as much attention as they really needed. Afterall, Lost Odyssey certainly wont be the first jrpg to concentrate more on the interactions between the characters up until it reaches that point of major development in the plot where more and more interesting story related developments start to come to light there's no telling if what he's hoping to see the game do with the story will end up happening as he's moving on.

With 4 discs worth of content the devs pretty much have quite a bit of room to play with before they eventually open up more of the story to his satisfaction. Pretty much I'm much earlier in the game than he is right now, but I can't say I've yet reached the point where I'm thinking they may be failing to give me more insight into specific things as I realize there is plenty more to go. Final Fantasy VII pretty much played out in very similar fashion and surely didn't allow specific aspects of the game's plot to take center stage until significantly later on into the adventure so often times the character interactions is what I had to rely on and I did so gladly. I see no problem with the developer reserving the right to take advantage of all groundwork later into the game (many games often do just that) I surely don't see them leaving us out in the dark regarding the immortality of the characters so until they expand on that I think its fantastic to have those character interactions especially if the characters are unique and interesting.

My thought on the 1000 years of dreams may differ from a lot of peoples opinions of it as it relates back to the game right now. Yes they are forced in there at times, but they seem almost too intentional at times for me to see it as a mistake. Because we must keep in mind these are his past memories so I don't think we are yet at the point in the game where they must directly relate to what is going on currently in the game. I can see how some of them being triggered in more understandable ways being able to cause confusion later on when they are possibly introduced in a situation where the person doesn't feel they fit. I always keep in mind though that these are still very much first and foremost stories of Kaim's past that are clearly being directed to us as the player to give us more background on him and shouldn't always necessarily correlate with what is going on in the game at the moment because were they to do that then I think the developers could land themselves in serious trouble trying too hard to tie every little game event back to the stories and as a result compromising their impact. Sometimes its best to let them exist on their own.

My idea of where the thousand years of dreams is all going is that when it's all said and done and disc 4 comes to a close then everything from those novels will have truly come full circle and will make more sense with the events in the game. The story on a whole likely better critiqued when its possible to properly view how the whole wraps up then we can see what was touched on to our satisfaction and what wasn't.

Really now jolli that sucks hopefully I'll have a better opinion of it when I reach that point as I would hope the story doesn't start seriously slacking.

Did the story's pace slowdown? Or do you just think a part of the plot you've been waiting for didn't work out as nice as you would've hoped?

What kinda story stumble we talking about here minor stumble? Major stumble?

Recoverable, unrecoverable? How bad is the story slip up is what I'm trying to get a feel for. Hopefully it isn't too bad of a mistep and they tighten it up.

Also that freeze thing concerns me I really like seeing the areas we battled in showcased like that. Is it just the same load we saw at tgs 2007 during sakaguchi's playthrough but longer?

Ah that's a pity jolli ..... There's still hope, you might be suprised during DVD 4 ... /Prays!
