That's because you're a kid, and most youth today is action obsessed and can barely stand something unless its a shooter.
😛
JRPG's can be great. I just won't be buying this particular one.
Well, I'm a few hours into this game, and so far I like it a lot. It very much holds an FF vibe for me...also helps that every time Jansen opens his mouth I end up laughing.
I also like that the dreams you can save to watch later. I've watched most of the ones that I've gotten so far, but there's a few where I just felt like moving on so I got it, saved it, and will look later.
But yeah, so far, great game I think. It's not FFX but I don't think there'll ever be a game like that ever again 😛
I'm a dozen hours into the game. For the most part it is nothing new and, although, it does offer some new strategical elements into the turn based Rpg's. It feels very much like a typical rpg. These arent complaints, because im quite happy and satisfied with the game, but i was expecting something different. My only gripe with the game is the loading times. We are talking FF7 loading times, and more of them. THe loading times really can make the game tedious to play at times.
I don't think the load times are too bad - I mean, games like this are going to have load times that are longer than, say, a shooter or something.
Anyway, the more I play this game, the more I love it. It pretty much IS a Final Fantasy game - the point where at work we decided that Final Fantasy XI doesn't exist anymore in our minds, and Lost Odyssey is FFXI.

Having to sit through a 10-15 second load screen before every battle and everytime i open a door is just unacceptable.
You are definitely right, this game is everything that final fantasy 12 should have been. I can overlook the poor decision of Xi. It was only a matter of time before FF got involved in MMORPG's. I would also like to tip my hat to the voice acting of Lost odyssey. It is a great unexpected aspect of the game.
Hmm...Im level 12 or 13 at the moment. I use Kaim (white magic) to attack or heal, Seth (black magic) to use flare and Jansen to either heal or use flare.
Ill try having Seth defend, not sure what the Power drink does yet but Ill see if it works.
The monsters in this game are cool, I like those little green frog things with helmets, they're funny..
I went back after that last post and beat it without dying, got stuck on the part at the Grand Staff against the worm things for like an hour and a half, frustrating to repeat so many times but fun to try new techniques, then I figured out the mechanics of combat and beat them without even losing 1/4 of my health.
What level do you get Spirit magic and the other one at?
Originally posted by LanaThen you haven't really played. There loading times like hell. I hate 'em, the game loads every single thing via loading screen, but I don't care since this is the best game out so far.
The loads are not that long. I think the longest one I've seen so far was about 5 seconds.
The loading times are nothing, they pop up a lot but only last 5 secs, so whats the complaining about? The IGN guy said on the video review that loading times go from 30 sec to 2min, and takes 20secs to get into combat, that is just a lie, saving the game takes longer than the loading times.
Im stuck in the witch's mansion, or whatever it is, havent played in a week or so. Its irritating as hell cause I dont have any mana potions, so everytime Jansen or Ming run out of MP I have to run back to the savepoint and Im not progressing cause theres a random battle every 3 seconds...wish there was an option to run away from combat.
