A friend of mine recently gave me an Xbox 360 for free, and I'm holding onto it because I've always really wanted to play Lost Odyssey, because I'm a pretty big fan of the older FF games and Sakaguchi in general. How do those of you who've played this game feel about it?
BOOOOOOOORINGGGGGH

Very straight-forward and linear. I felt like I could get the same exact experience from watching a Let's Play. That said, it's good. Very "old school FF" style gameplay and world. I like the "ring system" of the fights which make it engaging. A solid 6/10 imo. Very enjoyable if you're looking for a very particular gaming experience, which it sounds like you would like.

I read this a lot, I'm just curious how it stacks up against actually good FF games. My favorites are 7 and Tactics, and IMO 9 was the last great one (though I haven't played 12 yet).

This game is quite literally Final Fantasy in anything but name.

It's no 9 or 7, but I'd put it above 12 and especially 13.

What >>386623852 said
Worse than 6, 7 and 9, better than 8, 10, 12 and 13.
Never played the MMOs, don't have time so can't compare.

It's the best modern final fantasy shame it will never get a sequel it's better on the bone no disc swapping btw.
It's pretty decent though the battles are quite slow paced. The writing, while being one of the highlights of the game, can also be incredibly forced at times. I actually cringed when you randomly find your lost daughter you haven't seen in decades JUST before she happens to die to some unnamed disease. Can you get any more overly dramatic than that?
>fan of older FF games
Try xenoblade then

I don't really mind slow battles as long as the combat system is interesting.
It's okay, but fucking drags on.
>>386623170
Is not completely wrong either.
>>386623259
Funny I always say this about xenoblade
Shitty Drakengard rip-off.

If there had been a sequel on xboxone I might have actually bought one.

Super enjoyable. Very well written and an INCREDIBLE soundtrack. Pretty linear though. Definitely worth a go through.
