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 ------------------- | |

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. ------------------- | |

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. =] ------------------- | |

re: General On-Topic Discussion .:. Version I [Dream of 1000 Years] |
quote Lupin3rdThat'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. =] ------------------- | |

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. =] ------------------- | |

The introduction video actually contains a lot of spoilers if you have a keen eye. Fortunately for me, I didn't make the necesssary connections until I was up the parts of the game that detailed the events in more detail so that you realise the conncetions.

Nope, Daisy. Unfortunately, this forum was never at all that busy, which forced me to migrate to another forum for discussions on this particular game.
It's my favourite game of 2008. It certainly was a wonderful game that gave me many grat moments, and memories. I am unsure, too as to why not many people have played this title. Perhaps it is because people with XBOX 360s have them for FPS games, and not RPGs? So didn't really bother to give this a try? ------------------- | |

Haha~!
Perhaps you're right. I don't recall the levels of my characters. I know Tolten has shot off to the high 60s with everyone else trailing behind as I swap everyone in an out pretty frequently around him. I have all the Skill Master Achievements for the mortal characters. I need to collect all the Seeds for the Immortal characters, only I have 98 and I am missing one and I was going piece by piece through the game using a image guide, and it didn't really help all that much. I may try again at a later stage. I want that Pipot Collar! >< ------------------- | |

quote DragonMaster DyneI still need to get the Spell Collector Achievement, but to do that I have to do the Temple of Enlightenment and I have only really touched the outside of that place for levelling. I haven't set a single step inside the temple. I should, I guess - and I will eventually. But I am so caught up in The Last Remnant at the moment, so maybe later. And Storm - you must play this game. It's amazing!! ------------------- | |

Oh, I totally despised Jansen when I first saw him, but Mistwalker certainly did an excellent job of changing my opinion of him. He was probably the most changed character (mortal), in the whole course of the game. Most of the other characters I formed an opinion on and stuck with from the onset, but my opinion of him radically changed by the end of the game.
quote DragonMaster DyneOh, yes. The lamp allows you to view any previous scene from the game. Be it cinematic, or just pre-rendered cutscene! It's quite handy. =] ------------------- | |

Oh, I didn't really start to like Jansen until way later in the game.
As for Kaim and Seth. I liked Seth, however Kaim seemed to be a cold bastard for no reason - but you'll find out later the reasons why he is the way he is (and also through reading the dreams). ------------------- | |

Even so, the encounter rate in Lost Odyssey is extremely low as opposed to other titles out there. I found battles to be a refreshing break to the exploration as opposed to a nuance.
As for Jansen, I didn't like him at first because the game leads you to believe that he'll betray you, but he turns out to be the good guy in the end... =] ------------------- | |

Oh, I did all the backtracking and still didn't get the Treasure Trove Achievement. I think I am going to wait until I get a bigger HD television and then I might try again as my poor little television doesn't display the entire screen at the moment, so I am probably missing something that's just off the screen that I can't see.

That, or you've over prepared yourself.
When I played, I didn't read up on what to expect, so I would assume that is why I had a little more trouble. I was the opposite though. The Numaran troops were a pushover for me, but I had a few attemptd of Bogimoray. ------------------- | |

You mean Dark Saint? It's one of my most favoured boss battle melodies. <3
I am going round being trash collector Kaim, looking in all the vases, dirty black things, and ripping down all the posters to get all the items I can before heading on to Ipsilon Mountain Range. I also started the game with the Master Script and Killer Ring, which kind of takes the challenge out of the game a little. Oh well. I also made sure to get the soldier's hat down that was stuck so I will be immune to posion attacks from the first boss. XD Last thing I need to do is obtain one last dream, which is in the pub in Uhra. I'd forgotten that Uhra contained so many dream sequences! Okay! So now I am on the Numara Ship: White Boa at level 18, and am sure I have found/picked up every possible item that I was supposed to so far, without missing anything. I certainly obtained all the Seeds before the Grand Staff Construction Base, which was confirmed by getting the prize from the Pipot.

A game needs to have a very compelling and rivetting story to keep my attention now aday. Lost Odyssey is probably the only game I have for the XBOX 360 that I have actually completed, that isn't an Arcade title. Which is pretty sad...
On my replay I got up to just before Tosca and kind of put it down again. I'll pick it up later. I am right near my favourite part of the game, which is heavily influenced by Sacnoth (The Sorceress Mansion) - it's pretty spooky when you first get there. Is the ghost of the little girl supposed to be representative of Lyrim? ------------------- | |
