The review of Lost Odyssey is up. It got a 7.5 which is a pretty decent score seeing that almost all the reviewers are, for some reason, all out to get turn based games.
There was only one thing that really ticked me off in this review. That would be the "Derivative" complaint named in the bad side. Now this was obviously a complaint that this game was somewhat a copy of the Final Fantasy series. This I have no problem in admitting that this game LOOKS like Final Fantasy, but a copy?
Heck no! It IS the FF series!
In 2003, Hironobu Sakaguchi voluntarily stepped down from his post as an executive vice president at Square.
For those who don't know, Hironobu Sakaguchi is the creator of Lost Odyssey. Hmmmm... Hironobu Sakaguchi? You mean the CREATOR of the FF series?
Bingo. So heres my beef: How can this game be called a "copy" of the FF series when the same guy who started the FF series made this game? How can he copy on himself???
Pretty ridiculous in my opinion. This reviewer really needs to gets his facts straight because it is NOT a copy of Final Fantasy.
I think Sakaguchi really did a great job on this game, the previews look absolutely awesome. And Gametrailers seems to like this game too, its gave ot a 8.8 in its review. Although GT tends to give higher scores than GS, I think GS's score wont be too bad. Any who, I'll decide for myself of the game is worthy when I play it myself.
After a string of mediocre games on the PS1 and PS2, I'm glad Konami went back to the old school style and made this awesome game. Well I'm out, I got to save the world and kill some alien scum!
