The first thing everyone wants to know is: will Lost Odyssey unseat Final Fantasy as the definitive RPG experience?Our answer: No, it won’t. Lost Odyssey is almost everything classic Final Fantasy ever was, but not much else. Having FF creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and composer Nobuo Uematsu on the team gives the game more credit than your average “new” RPG, and the mature plot gets major points for NOT starring some plucky youth ...

Has the next great RPG been found?
Jan 11, 2008
Jan 11, 2008 Lost Odyssey follows the adventures of Kaim, an immortal who has lived a thousand years, and will live thousands more. Kaim is blessed with powerful magic and finesse in combat, but has lost a large chunk of his memory. Over the course of this RPG adventure, he will see or hear certain things that trigger a flashback to his past. Once unlocked, these "dreams" can be viewed anytime Kaim goes to an inn to rest and provide an entertaining method of slowly filling in his fascinating ...   » Read Full Lost Odyssey preview
E3 07: Lost Odyssey
Will we still need Final Fantasy?
Jul 13, 2007
The world will have to wait until 2008 to see Final Fantasy's first foray onto next-gen systems, but the original founder of that franchise is bringing a serious new competitor to the Xbox 360 before the end of 2007. Can Lost Odyssey beat everyone's favorite RPG series at its own game? Based on the gameplay demo we just received at E3, we believe it can capture the same fans. Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's beloved style and imagination are obvious. Fantasy and technology sat side by side in ...   » Read Full Lost Odyssey preview
Lost Odyssey - cutscene impressions
Angst, humor and skin revealed in our latest look at the Mistwalker RPG
Mar 7, 2007
Compared to the cute and cartoonish world of Blue Dragon, creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's other RPG, Lost Odyssey, is looking positively X-rated. After previewing his old-school throwback at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this week, Sakaguchi surprised us with a sneak peek at some of the cutscenes from his darker, grittier epic. The first depicted immortal hero Kaim riding a train into a radiating, sunset-drenched metropolis that could rival anything seen in the latest Final ...   » Read Full Lost Odyssey preview
Lost Odyssey - first hands-on
We're not sure who lost it, but this Xbox 360 Odyssey is obviously full of potential
Nov 22, 2006
The playable demo begins with an epic pre-rendered battle scene, and then cuts to Lost Odyssey's charismatic hero, Kaim, before seamlessly transitioning to the real-time graphics. We honestly didn't see much of a step down in quality in going from one to the other, and as the battle continues all around you, even as you enter your first fight, there's a great sense of continuity. Speaking of continuity, the battles continue the traditional turn-based system which the Final Fantasy games - ...   » Read Full Lost Odyssey preview

Sep 20, 2006
Our first real look at the 360's answer to Final Fantasy began with a handful of what looked like motorized gypsy wagons tearing across a mountainous landscape. They screeched to a halt, hatches in their backs opened and squads of troops in gold armor and tall helmets leaped out, then ran toward the horizon, screaming with their swords and lances raised. They were quickly and mercilessly cut down by what looked like a rain of blades. The camera focused in tight on one of these, revealing it to ...   » Read Full Lost Odyssey preview
