General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

Welcome to the first on-topic General Discussion for the Lost Odyssey forum. You may use this thread to discuss elements of the game not covered in other threads, but please be mindful not to disclose too many heavy spoilers, as again, not many people have the game as yet...

Anyway, I don't believe I really like Jansen as a character all that much. He really annoys me in the things that he says, and how he talks too fast and at times trips over his words. Although I must admit, some amusing comments have coming out of his mouth such as where he asked Seth to turn around on the peak of Ipsilon Mountains because he was cold and assumed that she would be too and as such would be able to view certain things through clothing, clearer. Funny man.

My favourite character at the moment, would probably have to be Seth though. She is the light hearted cheerful balance to the cold and dischordant main character Kaim.

I'm not complaining too much though (At least, not as much as Jansen. =P

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

Jansen's probably my favourite character although Kaim admitting he was scared is wavering me, Seth, I dunno, in time perhaps I could grow to stand her telling Jansen to stop whining.

Picked up the hong kong import last saturday actually but left it after I got to Grand Staff, returned to it yesterday and spent about 2 hours levelling up. Right now I am on a ship, word has it stealth is coming.

The way you can only earn a certain amount of SP per area is pretty don, gives it a nice learning curve and kind of makes sure you'll never be blatently underpowered (Says me who's been stuck on both major bosses so far).

I'm really enjoying it and I swears down if Final Fantasy was in the title the forum would be swarming, they're missing out, the fools bwhahahaha.

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

I have had trouble with a few bosses also, I have died on every boss so far (Besides the very first one in Wohl Highlands). Aside from that, every boss has gotten me, which is understandable, I guess, if you run into battle unprepared.

I like the boss music for fighting Numara adversaries. It kind of reminds me of the Ultros Opera Battle from Final Fantasy VI. It's nice to head Nobou Uematsu piecing together serious music for once as well, as opposed to the somewhat cartoony music he previously composed for the Final Fantasy series.

I hope that Lost Odyssey becomes such a hit that it ends up being a series unto it's own, because it's certainly deserving of it. I am 9 hours in and still haven't gotten to the end of the first disc, which is promising. But then, I have been exploring everything. It took me just over an hour to fully explore Numara.

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

The only boss I've died on so far was the very first because I wasn't healed up for it. The second boss was the hardest I've come across so far but I managed to get through first time. I've probably died more times on Hell Shakers than anything else..

Also a note for you guys who don't already know. Make sure you're absolutely thorough with places. You never know when you might miss an all-important Seed.

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

Oh, you mean a Slot Seed?

Or just a normal Seed?

I have been finding a lot of them all over the place, of both varieties. =]

I'm yet to work out what the seeds are about but I'll keep an eye on them.

And yuss the bosses are killers alright, worries me when I can take on armies of people in the intro and then lose to 5 soldiers trying to pick flowers. To the Crimson Forest for levels I think. I'm about 9 hours deep also.

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

For the normal Seeds, there are these little creatures that show up in a pot. There's one near Grand Staff and one in Tosca. I gave him a little over 40 and I got a weapon and a ring.

Sadly, the weapon was weaker than the one Kaim and Seth use, so it was worthless, unless somebody else later can use it. Also, if you give mt HP/Mana items he'll give you a stronger version of the item.

As for the Slot Seeds, I hope I can find more. Sarah and Ming both need them, as Kaim and Seth have 8 slots.

That's the boss I lost on as well, only because I was mucking around trying to cast Prism on them with Jansen. If you are constantly using Jansen to heal each time and have either Bruiser Rings or Anger Rings equipped to Seth and Kaim, and then make them target the enemy singularly, they should go down pretty easy. The worst the enemy can do is use Rush, and it's the mounted soldiers that do that. Take out the footman first, and it'll be a breeze.

I just witnessed a really sad moment of the game which happens practically right after that battle, so bring the tissues.

Also, the Seed items can be given to Pipots. There's actually one inside the pot just outside Cooke and Mach's house. =]

I had 35 and exchanged them for an Adamantine Sword and Adamantine Ring. Pretty useful. =]

You get Pipot's Charm at the 99th seed. So needless to say you can't learn all the skills until you find every seed. I'm pretty sure I must have must some seeing as you should have 20 by the time you find the first Pipot at the Grand Staff construction base.

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

Thanks AngelDeVoid for the seed info and to Mr Addison for the battle tips.

The scene with you know was very sad but also awkward standing in a room as children watch their mother die.
Might I also add that it took a few scenes for me to realise that Funeral Director Melv was in fact not a clown, I was so confused.

Everyone enjoys picking flowers when they need to "vacuum the house" and they're too scared to leave their 360 on for fear of red lights, i.e huge stretch of time without a save point there.

To the Crimson Forest! (this time not for levels, until I inevitably lose to another boss and then I will be there for levels) where the music's pleasent but you wish for the World of Ice track from the beach area to return (love that music).

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

I love the music where you battle Numara soldiers. Evidently, it's the music playing in the battle that we both lost too. Reminds me of the Opera House Battle with Ultros in Final Fantasy VI.

The next area seems a bit complex. I had a brief look through it and there are rolling boulders, closed doors and reminds me of Tomb Raider. =p

The funeral director is awesome! I liked his outfit. =]

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

This games looks cool. All the reason to get a 360 >.<

Oh, and for Eternal Sonata too.

And is the battle systems similar to the additon system in Legend of Dragoon?


Because it's really confusing me >.<

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years]

They're similar in the fact that attack sequences are amplified through interaction. Though the ring system is hardly as good LoD's X-sequencing. You see in Lost Odyssey you only hold down RT while a large circle begins to close in on a smaller one. At the right spot you get a perfect which amplifies the effectiveness of the ring equipped. Whereas in LoD you have to press X at the right times to fully complete the attack.

I see. So it's basically like a single addition in my eyes. Sounds intresting...

Oh, and is Tolten permanent?

Yes and No.
He does stay with the party, but not until quite late in the game.
