2007-09-12 06:51:43 Lost Odyssey delayed till 2008 No idea if people know, but MS pre-TGS conference is going on now. Anyway, Sakaguchi confirmed LO will ship in 2008 for every region, except Japan which will get it on Dec 6. Not really a big deal to me, free up my time from an already busy Fall. The highly-anticipated RPG is coming December 6 in Japan. Hold your horses Americans and Euros, this date is for the Japanese release only. The U.S. and European release has been pushed back to February 2008. --- |

2007-09-12 07:23:39 some impressions from the live demo done by Sakaguchi, who eventually died! At least we know it's harder than BD :p 9:16 - 9:28 - [Lost Odyssey Gameplay Description] Kaim is in a room. He walks outside to a mountainside. An event kicks off with two other characters. A great rain starts to fall. Very pretty. The screen fades to black. Cut to Castle of Uhra Castle Hall. A maid is delivering food to someone who's sitting at a long table. The guy at the table is dressed in gold. He seems very important, but very cold. He's a prince, I think. Someone named Gangara comes in and tosses his food on the floor. He takes out a mouse and puts it on the spilled food. The mouse eats the food, then collapses. Tentacles emerge from it. Apparently someone has attempted to kill the prince. Gangara and the prince are speaking. Cut to a scene of Gangara walking out of the prince's banquet hall. He gives money to the maid and thanks her for her work. Apparently Gangara is trying to maniuplate the prince. Cut back to the mountain scene. Pouring rain. Sakaguchi is now controlling. It seems hard for Kaim to move int he rain -- I presume this effects your movement when actually controlling. Cut to a cut-scene. I think Kaim is having a flashback. The flashbacks are the sequences that were written by the famous author who's on the project. Sakaguchi says that because theres no time, he's going to skip it. He takes control of Kaim again, walking through the rain. He gets into a battle. The battle here has Kaim, Sess and Yansen fighting together. Doesn't really look too different from past versions. Back to climbing up the mountain. Sakaguchi is explaining some stuff about the battle system, but I can't hear him over the music [sad]. When the characters do some attacks, a targeting ring appears around the enemy as the characters charge in for attack. Another battle, this one against two flying creatures and a ground creature. The attacks are prety brutal in the game, both for enemy and ally sides. You can really feel it if you have the sound up, which they do. Back to the mountain top. Sakaguchi makes it all the way to the top of Ipsilon peak. It's clear up here. A cut scene as the characters walk up to the top. The game uses little cut in windows to show closeups of the characters talking as they walk. I think this was known before, but it's much improved over the original demo. Kaim sees a town in the distance and begins to have a flashback. The game switches seemlessly to a pre-rendered cut-scene. Kaim has apparently been at that structure before. One character asks, "Is it just dejavu, or has some lost memory suddenly been found?" As they speak, a giant flying creature comes in and attacks. Boss fight time! The targeting circle things appear to require that you input button presses. They show perfect or good and so-on depending on your timing. The targeting circle looks really neat because the camera switches to behind the character's perspective as they charge in. It provides an intense view of the action The beast does a super powerful attack, killing Sakaguchi. Everyone laughs. Sakaguchi apologises. --- |

2007-09-12 10:09:38 Yeah, getting it out for Holidays in Japan was the right thing to do, it'll move a few units like BD did. I can wait a little longer. |

2007-09-18 01:31:37 In reply to kenshin2418 (2007-09-18 00:32:37) Posted by kenshin2418 majority of JRPGs are pretty easy, especially turn based/action based. I find Strategy RPGs to be the most difficult out of the bunch normally. I was going to use another game as an example, but then I realized what it might lead to so I'll use Kotor. Majority of the battles in that game were very easy especially as your jedi powers grew, but it was fun to mow the pawns and even some bosses down as if they were nothing. Although the last set of fights in the game were hell the game on the whole is what I'd classify as pretty easy, but it was extremely fun and that's the most important thing. Easy doesn't mean divoid of fun afterall :D --- |

2007-09-18 02:01:12 In reply to Acert93 (2007-09-18 01:07:50) Posted by Acert93 The new year period is a high sales period in Japan though. Anyway, did anyone download the LO press confrerence off the marketplace, same stuff just in higher res. There was a Square Enix press confrence which had Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant, can't wait to see all 3 trailers on the 20th . --- |

(the term Holiday season generally refers to Thanks Giving and Christmas and is only relevant to Americans, the rest of us just called it christmas) Anyway, did anyone download the LO press confrerence off the marketplace, same stuff just in higher res.
