Putting Respect On LOST ODYSSEY In 2022...

  • If there is a short yet elegant way to define Lost Odyssey, it's to call it "Xbox's Final Fantasy." Indeed, PlayStation has had a stranglehold on the Final Fantasy license for much of its lifespan, but in 2008 Xbox saw a rare opportunity where they could grab the creators of Final Fantasy under a brand new studio and allow them to do what they do best. And, boy, did they ever deliver.

    I had the opportunity to meet Nobuo Uematsu at DePaul University about 2 or 3 years after Lost Odyssey came out. There were so many people who were foaming at the mouth asking questions about final fantasy and his thought process regarding how he came up with the music. I stood up and asked him what went through his head when he created the music for Lost Odyssey and I swear, for about 10 minutes he could not stop talking about it. Ultimately he signed the inner part of the copy of the game and inside the owner's manual and I presented it as a gift to a friend. This game is just unbelievably amazing and the stories within it evoke so many emotions... My God, it makes me cry just thinking about it.

      Played roughly 12 or so hours of this game back around the time it released on the 360. I was 14 / 15 then.
      I always wanted to give it another shot, but didn’t want to go through the hassle of getting a 360.
      Tonight I decided enough is enough and tried out Xenia. Currently just rolled credits on the intro, that starts on the monorail. I’ve got a 4090 so I’m playing it in 4K w/ RTX HDR on and I swear to God I almost cried. What a time to be alive. I’m 30 years old now.

    I am SO freaking glad you're talking about Lost Odyssey. A SEVERELY criminally underrated gem.
    The soundtrack is beautiful.
    The story is fantastic.
    The combat is engaging.
    The first Thousand Years of Dreams, Hanna's Departure never fails to choke me up and THAT SCENE with Lirum, to this day, still makes me legitimately cry. I unashamedly sob big manly tears.
    The fact that this hasn't received a sequel is a travesty! Thank you SO much for covering this. It honestly ties with FFX as my favourite game of all time, I'd happily pay full price if they ported this to PS4/5 as I don't have an xbox unfortunately. But I still have my copy of this game, when I had to sell my 360 and game collection when I fell on hard times, I REFUSED to part with this game.
    There are 3 moments total in all of gaming that never fail to get me. In reverse order is the end of FFX with the goodbye scene, the final conversation between Lee and Clementine at the end of The Walking Dead Season 1 and the worst of all for me, as mentioned earlier, is that scene with Lirum. It completely took me by surprise when I first played this. Plus the theme of Kaim being immortal, having lived for centuries, outliving every friend, every loved one, every family he ever creates, to the point of him becoming so numb to the world, is just truly, genuinely heartbreaking. I love this game SO MUCH. Thank you again for this 💙

    Matty, my dude, thank you for shining a light on this game. I had beaten every mainline FF by 2014, met Nobuo Uematsu that same year, and did not even know this game existed until 2018. This truly is the lost FF game, or the true FF13. Not that I dislike 13 or 13-2. It just feels like a natural follow-up or spiritual and stylistic continuation of FF 6/ 7 / 9 / 10. The overworld, camera design, and overall stylistic approach feels a lot like FFX to me and I love that.

    I was a kid when I first played this game. I remember having such a hard time with the very first boss, the poison griffon. He kicked me hard. I got past him, but not by much. I would always get bored and get onto other stuff. I've tried picking it up after a year, then a few years, just on and off would pick it up, get bored, and do something else. The furthest I ever got was the beggining of Disc 3. I'm not saying the game is boring, I'm saying I as a kid just never got into it for long. However, as of making this post I Just beat the game about 15 minutes ago. Gosh, its a weird feeling beating a game you've picked up and dropped several times since you were 9 or 10. Absolutely loved it, amazing game. One thing thats always stood out to me was the music. I loved that as a kid, and I still love it now.

    You made me check this game out. I found a brand new and sealed copy for a reasonable price and bought it. I vaugely remmeber seeing an ad for this game on TV years ago. And I knew it exsisted, but then quickly forgetting about it again as quick as I emembered it:P
    This game looks to be a hidden masterpiece and I'm looking forward to play it. Besides it also makes a great addition to my collection.
    Thank you for making me more aware of this game, and deciding to try it out for myself:D

    I loved the skill set aspect, especially when you get items that give you slot+5 and slot+10. The only thing that I found strange is that they didn't have an item that worked as a tent, but then I learned that if you reset the game at a save point, your entire party's HP/MP is filled. I would've preferred either a tent-like item, or that every save point also had those blue spheres to refill HP/MP.

    Playing "Tales of Arise" really brought me back to "Lost Oddessy" sure the game mechanics work different, but I love both the stories and are both highly underrated JRPGs. I havnt played lost oddessy since 2009. I was 10 years old then with my 360 and only made it to the end of the second disk. Tales of Arise I did beat and absolutely loved.

  • @Simoss13

    I bought the game earlier this year for $9USD. It i going up and I will (one day) find time to give it a go. Heard nothing but good things about it.
    I also have Infinite Undiscovery on my backlog to tackle too

  • @Earllander

    • @skeletankmcgraw7343
      @skeletankmcgraw7343 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't feel like "underrated" is the right word, because the vast majority of people who have played it absolutely love it. I have always felt that "underexposed" is a better word for a game like this since the real issue is that way too many people have not played it because they just don't have access to it.
      To this day the only way to play it is on an Xbox system. I can understand why they wouldn't want to put it on Playstation, but to not even release it on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store, etc..) to give more people access to it is what keeps it in the "hidden masterpiece" category. It's been 15 years and Microsoft is too petty to even release it on PC so more people can be exposed to a great game that doesn't really gel with the general Xbox ecosystem/audience to begin with.

  • @ryuman757

    I LOVED this game as a teenager! My favorite part back then was reading those Kaim stories, and just experiencing all the feels from each one. Was such a beautiful experience back then, during the 2 or so times I rented it from Hollywood Video. But I ended up stopping around the 3rd disc (probably in Gohtza City, even though I have no clue how I managed to get there back then).
    I finally got around to replaying it a couple years back, and made it all the way to the 4th disc where that giant creature is about to attack the one major city. My memory has been shot, since it has already been a couple years since I stopped THAT "recent" playthrough. Sooner or later I'll beat this game A SINGLE TIME 🤣❤

  • @atony1400

    I played this game when it first came out.. it was AWESOME. Forgot the tile as it was over a decade ago but then recently stumbled onto this video and remembered it. Everything stated about its likeness to Final Fantasy is true, just a bit more grit and some slight twists. If you haven’t played it give it a try.

  • @Terranigma23

    The visual novel part (One Thousand Years Of Dreams) was so good, because it was a written by a really popular Japanese writer "Kiyoshi Shigematsu". :)

  • @quentinjohnston2359
    @quentinjohnston2359 ปีที่แล้ว

    Agree with this regarding the Xbox 360 having many 360 gems with Lost Odyssey being at the top. Tried the recent Mystwalker mobile game and it has potential, but just can't get into mobile games at least yet. Still hope for a sequel or book on the Lost Odyssey IP, but yeah the recent news saying there is no plans was disappointing. Great video!!! May load this back up since I've been wanting to play a JRPG recently. Either this or NiNoKuni.

  • @Al-cy9qn
    @Al-cy9qn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yeah, this game is something special. I need to finish it. I started it about a year ago. Played about 12 hours and stopped. No idea why. Matty, you just lit a fire under my ass. Looks like I'm diving back it :)

  • @michaeldidikof634

    I remember issues with last disc. Originally three discs fit in the box hole, but fourth one was in paper cover. That creates problem on the disc. I couldn't load some location and lots of people have same problem at that time. Love beginning and third disc specially. Second best RPG for xbox 360. Tales of Vesperia was number uno for me

    I do want to add a under looked aspect of the game. The character designs of the main characters are so special because they were designed by legendary manga artist Takehiko Inoue. He created two of the best selling manga ever, Slam Dunk and Vegabond which are legendary

    Love. This. Game. A Sakaguchi/Uematsu masterpiece. Actually, I love it more than any FF game since Sakaguchi's departure (12, 13, etc.). I believe this was my best reason for getting a 360 back in the day, aside from Halo. I re-played this in 2020, and actually got every memory that time. I still have the Standee for this, as well. Going to have to re-play this in the nigh future.
    Another reason I love it -- it has some of the same battle system devs as Legend of Dragoon & Shadow Hearts.

    It needs to be ported to pc & Switch so it can have life again instead of forgotten to rot by Microsoft/MW.
    Who makes a game for 1 systemand never ports it again? Especially when it can't be emulated, and the original system is prone to breaking

    I never finished my first playtrought. Was not very good amd english and I am pretty sure this was my fist jrpg. After falling for the genre coming back to lost oddysey, man suhe hits hard. It got me into the genre and now after many adventures I can really apressiate this one.

  • @Elementroar
    @Elementroar 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I know Sakaguchi said he’s not interested in remastering Lost Odyssey, or making a Lost Odyssey 2; heck I don’t know if Mistwalker is even alive anymore. But I thought Lost Odyssey actually had the best opportunity to tie-in to a sequel through the Immortals. I legit had thought up a whole future scenario where you play as a new protagonist in the far flung future of the same planet. Then it’s revealed you’re actually a descendent of Kaim and Sarah. Just have great-great-great-great-grandpa and grandma appear to save you, cos they’re keeping an eye on their descendants in the world. And it’ll be like more technological, closer to Gohtza’s industrialisation, and maybe a whole new set of Immortals arrive from the home world but they’re set on a full on genocide mission to kill the game world to save their home! I thought about it so long, about the sheer unique story potential LO can make. And it pains me that we’ll never see it 😢
