Our Lost Odyssey Impressions

We bought the Asian version of Lost Odyssey (It has english text, voice and menus) and wrote up some impressions on our blog. If you're interested to hear about what the game is like from a gamer's perspective (the type of gamer who enjoys JRPGs) these impressions are well worth a read:

What the---that thing is HUGE!
http://thirdworldgamer.blogspot.com/2008/02/oh-my-god.html

I'm still continuing to play the game and my husband is starting out on the first disc. That said, this game is the best JRPG ever made for the Xbox 360 thus far, it is very polished and in terms of story and character development it really delivers. I can imagine that this will be a major franchise for Microsoft in the future considering the amount of work that went into it.

Right now I'm on the 4th disc, at around 41 hours of play. Impressions will continue to be posted on our blog as we're progressing through the game. Please note that we are not rushing through this game; we're playing this as any player would, and we're not trying to beat a deadline.
