[360] Lost Odyssey. CRYAN GAEMS WITH AVIATOR GLASSES

Based on the trailer that is found on the Mass Effect LE disc, its graphical style is dated, to put it nicely. Looks like a PS2 game. Of course, things like story, gameplay, music, and such are more important than graphical style, so that is not a big deal. But then, I am doubting that they will deliver all of that. Based on the trailer I saw, it looks like the story is going to be a whiny emo-fest. "Omg I live long time, people I love die and stuff waaah." It looks like its going to be a 720p resolution version of a generic jap PS2 RPG from 2001.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It isn't a bad game if you can get past all of the crying. And there is a lot of crying. I am fairly early on in disc two and my party consists of two physical attackers and three mages, which really bothers me. I don't really need to have two black mages and a white mage. I would really be ok with one of each.

Game is fairly fun and the dreams are all pretty well written. The music has ranged from unnoticed to really good. So far I really only have one character who isn't weepy, but he is awesome enough to more or less make up for all the crying. Graphically, it looks better than I was expecting, though I wish that the designers would have thought to give Kaim a little shampoo. I have noticed some minor framerate issues, but nothing to get worked up over just yet. The dungeons seem to be a comfortable length, though the town/non-dungeon sequences tend to drag a little bit, which may be the result of reading several dreams during your "in between dungeons" period. I am sure that it is simply because have missed them, but there have been a distinct lack of weapon upgrades throughout the game. As I mentioned before, I am early in disc 2 and I have upgraded Kaim's weapon once, Jansen's once, and there have literally been no other weapon upgrades. While I am sure that this is mostly my own fault for not finding weapons, but they really shouldn't make it this hard to find them.

All in all, I have not regretted my purchase yet. Maybe whenever the inevitable plot twist happens, and we learn that Kaim is the seemingly impossible lovechild of Squall and Keanu Reeves, I will feel differently.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So basically you are saying that once I hit the expected party level (as in the people in the party are gaining very little experience in each fight) in each dungeon, I should swap in my lesser used folks and run around until they stop getting a full level per fight. Thanks for the tip, that should be an easy thing to do along the way that will save some headaches down the line. Also full mage parties are lame. Where are my fighters in this game, they are missing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Don't worry, later on you get a terrible, frail fighter who you will only use when you absolutely have no choice, and a really tough, but not very strong fighter who you will keep in the party simply because he has some excellent passive skills. So you'll be rolling with your two fighters, your passive skill guy, and your two mages of choice.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm personally too lazy to look at the book, sooo, about Sed...

Spoiler:

Is he exactly human? Or some kinda beat thingie? In Seth's dream he sounded like he was a beast of some sort.

Spoiler:

Uh, you are thinking about Aneira. Aneira was the winged person/creature who rescued Seth from the cave. Sed is related to Seth in a different way. I have had to explain that to multiple people so it makes me think that I am the only one who actually read and comprehended the Seth dreams.

Also, who reads the manual? Not me. I am just trying to be nice and not spoil the game for anyone, even though it is painfully obvious about the frail, weak fighter, manual or not.

As for the character designs/models, yes, the veins in that chick's chest are a bit much. And does Tolten really need to be wearing gold, jewel encrusted armor? If I am about to go into battle, I am going for something a little more utilitarian. And good lord, why has Kaim not washed his hair in the 1000 years he has been alive? Jansen has clean hair. Ming has clean hair. Someone get this guy a bottle of shampoo stat. I think I have mentioned that once before.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok, this sounds like a pretty massive waste of 200 MS points. One dream and a ring? The game is easy enough that one ring won't make a difference, and anyone who cares will just wait until a youtube of the dream comes out so they can read it once and go on about their business, with their purse still flush with MS points.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
