It looks like Microsoft is trying to do actually market Lost Odyssey, at least compared to the almost invisible marketing campaign of the sent to die Blue Dragon. This extended TV ad certainly reminds me in a way of the excellent way they marketed Gears of War, with a song that had little to do with the actual game, but that would everyone easily remembers. I sure still think of GoW's ad when I hear Charles Jules' Mad World. Hopefully this will be the same for Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit if Microsoft does this right.
Update: 720p version online.

here in the state...
And the first time I was glad that I live in PAL area, I hope that in the future they release games simultaneously more often. For example I hate to wait great games like jeanne d'arc ( I imported already that though ). It released in August in Usa but no PAL release date has been even announced yet... importing games and region free ftw o/
I don't know why, but it just doesn't suit the trailer, maybe it is cause i've heard what Nobuo Uematsu did for the game. The intro music and scene alone is so powerful, if they used that music for the ad it would've felt more powerful in my view
it had a sense of lost, hope, survive, live theme to it

Nice music though.
Jesus.
PD: The add is so great
all I can say is "weird music" :o
why can't they put the LO's theme song for the background music
Ah well. Now I know what song to look up and add to my playlist.
I doubt the game will sell well given the fact that Mass Effect is still selling well right now.
for me LO is true ff11
