in English, there are all in English, but I "can not read" 1000YoD cause it is toooo tearful. It hurt me.
I think, this was made specially, when hero recalls his past, it brings only pain and grief to him and player

first Europe review from "360"

"...Although the game world is in a state of upheaval, Lost Odyssey cleverly makes Kaim's own existence the central theme of the game -what happens in the world is important, but nothing as crucial as discovering more about Kaim, his thousand-year past, and his apparently endless future."

"Kaim is quite a cold character too, and he doesn't seem impressed with those around him; he seems like an outsider, and that makes the player feel like an outsider. It's a clever trick, setting Lost Odyssey apart from 'funkier' Japanese RPGs. This one is primarily for older players."

On Thousand Years of Dreams > "Sometimes the text of these dreams is spliced with moving images of Kaim's past actions. It all works to great effect, and it makes for a much more interesting non-playable hook than the half-assed cut-scenes of lesser games... Lost Odyssey is the 360's most interesting application of non-game-related source material to date."

"The four dics each hold around ten hours' worth of play, and many minutes of voiced dialogue and cut-scenes, so Lost Odyssey can be regarded as an epic. And there's also the surreptitious delivery of 'A Thousand Years of Dreams', which can be viewed as a digital book in it's own right. In terms of play for pound (or dollars if you're American), Lost Odyssey is more generous than most."

Summary > "Definitely a story well told and a reasonably well produced RPG, Lost Odyssey is rooted in the genre's traditions but ultimately succeeds thanks to the strength of it's fantastic storytelling. Battles are satisfyingly difficult and there's four discs' worth of game to play through. It can be a bit heavy, a bit like 'War and Peace', but Lost Odyssey is well worth a look if you're after a Japanese RPG with staying power."

Final Score Given: 4 stars out of 5

I don't agree that the story is more adult oriented, its a bit of a sheep in wolfs clothing in that regard, personally I found the story to be quite genric (not that I consider that to be a bad thing)

I would say its no more adult than FF10 or 8 really.

Not saying its has a bad story, but if you've played many JRPGs then you won't see anything new here, but if you haven't then you will probably quite like it.

I just wouldn't go in to this game expeting anything new out of the story telling because its the same kind of stuff from other Sakaguchi games.

I think they might mean that it's for an older group than the group they suspect Blue Dragon was designed for.

Then again they would be wrong there too because Blue Dragon is for REAL men.

Don't ask any questions just shut up and buy Halo : Ghosts of the Onyx one of the greatest books ever.

pssh! more like electronic gay-ming monthly! amirite

That what I mean by sheep in wolf clothing, the art style may lead you to believe this has a more adult story line but its not much different that the regular FF story line.

I really think a lot of people will be disappointed by this game, because its been hyped up a lot more than BD and has been touted as a grown ups JRPG.

I actually think BD had a much better story, it was certainly better paced.

I'm not trying to put anyone off as I think its a decent enough game, but then im bias as its my favourite genre.. :P

Whatever you said about it wouldn't matter anyway because nobody is going to buy the game no matter what is said about it.

Yea they will, I expect this game to sell really well. (well when i say really well probably double what BD did)

So about a million, which isn't too bad.

Really? It's done markedly worse than Blue Dragon in Japan no? Or is that because this is more tailored to a more Western Audience so it'll do a lot better in the US than BD did?

Duno really, besides the art style its still very much a Japanese game, so I don't see why that would be reason to ignore it over there.

Saying that many Westerns were probably put off BD because of its art style so maybe, but the FF series has a similar art style to LO.

It's probably just something simple like Japan doesn't want to support MS :P

Personally I would have thought all those people who bought BD would have bought LO, hmm perhaps they just pirated it instead :S

Sweet Jolli

how long did it take from the day you ordered until you received it ? I ordered mine today so when do you think I should perhaps expect it. I need to clear my schedule for the game :D
