So does anybody else want to discuss this great game?
And does anybody know why it was an Xbox exclusive?
I'm pretty sure FF was still PlayStation exclusive at the time so Microsoft had their own JRPG developed.
I've never played it, but it seems like a fine game.
I really like Ming.

I mean, I guess? Like, I get that they made a contract with Hironobu but it just... doesn't make sense.
Either way, the game is great. I love the story and the 1000 years of dreams

It's a great JRPG, and severely underrated.
It was an Xbox exclusive for the same reason several other early 7th gen JRPGs were Xbox exclusives; because it came out at that time when the 360 was selling like hotcakes and the FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS PS3 was dead in the water.
>>378276628
They gave it away for free when it gained backwards compatibility, along with Blue Dragon. I assume they were bought exclusives.
It could really do with a PC release, ala Phantom Dust.
I'm just gonna leave this here.

>And does anybody know why it was an Xbox exclusive?
because microsoft funded the game, thats why.
And its a shame.
Only a niche of players care about jrpgs on xbox. the console sells mostly for dudebros who play madden, fifa and cod.
it was a gamble from Microsoft to finally take a share on japan's market.
they had some really ncie excl. on the 360, ahich failed just because japs don't care bout the console.
Guilty gear 2 could have been a great success if it was for ps3, mark my words.
i would have killed for a GG2: Interlude with playable Dizzy.
Xrd is fine and I love it, but in the end is just a XX rehash with 3d graphics and shittier design.
>>378277558
Do it, the game is the real spiritual successor of final fantasy asfter X and its amazing.
never liked blue dragon tho, it tried too hard to become the new Dragon Quest.
>yfw Lost Odyssey was the last good Final Fantasy game
I dropped this at the start of disc 3 for some reason
Convince me to pick it up again

>shit awful tedious SLOOOOOOOOW gameplay that feels less engaging than Telltale games
>>378276628
Microsoft tried to get weebfags and failed. Blue Dragon was supposed to be big for them.
>>378277864
I just don't have the patience to play a long RPG at the moment. As soon as I get the energy to do so I'll probably check it out.
Until then I'm going to continue fapping to Ming.
M$ tried to get the jrpg crowd by funding and getting exclusive jrpgs for the system. Its also part of the reason ps3 didn't get vesperia over here.
LO was fun but too easy. Never died unless I tried.
>>378276628
I've only played this once a long time ago, as my 360 died.
Man I'd love to have it on PC like TLR.
>>378276628
Great game. I enjoyed it.
I suggest it to anyone.
I've been playing it today. Just finished the Black Cave.
Played through the game 5 times, got every achievement, including the dlc achievements. Love the game, wish MS cared about it enough to give us another one, blue dragon as well, also played that 9 times got all achievements.

Don't forget me now, you hear?
Lirum's Death
>>378276628
Windows Port FUCKING WHEN MICROSOFT
FUCK
>>378277864
Blue Dragons characters bothered the fucking shit out of me and I couldn't play anymore.
>>378281036
What is wrong with them? They're youngsters.
>>378279853
Didn't make enough money because anybody who cared about JRPGs had either a PS3 or were waiting to get one.
>>378276628
It's great I wish Microsoft went all out with a remaster and a sequel.
>>378276628
I don't give a fuck that these games don't sell on Xbox. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are some of my two favorite jrpgs. Microsoft needs to keep dumping loads of money on jap devs so we get more masterpieces.
And I don't even care that both games are stuck on Xbox consoles. If that's what's required for them to exist, I'll buy a bone no problem
>>378276628
based peter moore wanted the 360 to be more successful in japan so a couple of japanese games were exclusive to 360. too bad that all changed when that faggot mattrick came along and ruined EVERYTHING
Lost Odyssey release date: December 6, 2007
PS3 Price in 2007: 599
360 Price in 2007: 299/399
360 was selling like hotcakes and PS3 was literal paperweight.
>>378283857
there was a 499 version as well
>>378283642
Why have smug animu grils when you can have smug Peter Moore?
>tfw BC Lost Odyssey is half the reason I bought an Xbone, since I never had a 360
Worth it desu.
>>378284802
Same here, anon. I have a bunch of 360 games and like... 3 One games. I play mostly on PS4 but right now I'm going through Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Fable 2 at the moment. Totally worth the money.
I've listened to the entire soundtrack but still haven't played the game
>>378287127
It's some good shit. You should play the game, though. Will give you context.
why won't they just release it on PC? is it that hard?
>>378287451
give it 5 years
Actually started playing this today. It is taking forever to get to anything interesting. So much fucking backstory and politics.
>>378287451
I mean, Grandia 2 got released, so there's SOME hope.. but Mistwalker has become a mobile game company.. so maybe not.
>>378278205
pretty much this
>>378287964
>tfw Gooch is trying to stay relevant by shilling FFXV of all things
It's over
>>378288845
Another reason why I have no hope of a PC release..
>>378287860
It's one of the last good ones. Made with heart.
