Ok, go ahead and scratch my previous comment. The game doesn't really get any better when you get deeper in to it. There are some neat ideas in there, but the execution is always poor. Even if it's an old game I just can't let some things fly. Had to rate it low. I hope tri-Ace's other console JRPG's are a lot better than this one, namely Resonance of Fate. Message | Report |

There are so many impressive things about this game that people are completely overlooking. There's pretty much NO LOADING...NONE. The only noticeable loading you'll experience comes before the cutscenes...And even then they're what 5 seconds at most? The entire world is connected, you'll get a black screen when going from the plains to the dunes, for example, but that's all it is: a quick black transition screen. The first time I opened a door in the game, I expected my character to physically open the door and walk in while a black screen comes up to load the interior. Instead, the door just...opens and you can clearly see the inside of the building and just walk right in. Not only is the game real time in terms of battles, it's real-time in terms of everything else. It's like the first FULLY realtime rpg (just because of the lack of loading). Please correct me if I'm wrong though. /endfansplooge Message | Report |

The first area in this game gives the wrong impression of the games quality (That is Squae Enix's fault). After you learn Item Creation and leave the first area this game is a top tier Square Enix Game, with awesome combat graphics and plot. Give it a chance and you won't be sorry. Message | Report |

Yeah, this game is incredibly average. It's one of the few games where i have little will to do the sidequests because they're so mundane. The Battle System is pretty fun, but almost everything else ranges from bad - average. The story is ok, but the characters are completely devoid of any charisma or development. Although, I think the music is good and the graphics have some nice moments. Installing it to the HD really helped with the slow-down and framerate issues, nearly nullifying them. Message | Report |

Got the game as part of the Amazon deal - picked up IU and TLR for $50 total. I started playing IU first, and I must say that I'm sadly dissapointed in it so far. The lip synching is atrocious in the NA version, decent bits of slowdown for big battles, and just feels unpolished. Very dissapointed in it. But it has good points too - the 'creation' system is very awesome, and the actual gameplay isn't half bad. If I was writing a review (after about 7hrs), I'd give this game a 7.5 based on my current experiences - Better than Enchanted Arms (less generic), but not as good as Eternal Sonata (certainly not as polished). Methinks that TLR will be a more satisfying experience. Message | Report |

I'm not a huge gamer when it comes to wasting hours and hours on a game every day. I have a busy life with a full-time job working 45+ hours a week, a wife that obviously requires a good deal of attention, and a variety of other things that require time. I don't need a thousand RPGs that take an eternity to play. I haven't even STARTED Lost Odyssey because I have a ton of other games for my 360 that I'm nowhere near beating (as well as some DS and Wii titles I'm still working on). Thus said, I'm fine with a shorter RPG. =p Message | Report |

@tao -I actually want shorter RPG's. I been playing LO for over 3 months and am only on the 3rd Disc (though enjoying it), mostly because I'm in college.

I haven't played IU, but its length actually intrigues me as I may even beat this twice. Message | Report |

@Egghead why would good sales for this game be good news? Its a half baked game that should've been in production a lot longer. supporting games like this instead of Lost Odyssey for example, is a really bad thing to do. Because we'll get more half baked super short jRPGs. And I'm getting fed up with those! If this goes on the PS2 will stay the jRPG king for years to come. Which is pretty ridiculous imo.
