I like Lost Odyssey, but let's be honest: it wouldn't.
Gachas and weaboos have killed JRPGs. If your JRPG doesn't contain big tiddy waifus with dating simulation these days no one will buy it.

I’m not 100% sure of this but with what I’ve seen lost odyssey sold around 1.5m lifetime which is a paltry figure if accurate.
You’re telling me that in this landscape LO remade/remastered and multi-platform couldn’t sell 15m units? I disagree to be honest I think it’s now a cult classic and that the hype generated from the people who played it when it first came out would generate tons more sales.

Lost Odyssey was at least better than FF13

15 million?
No way. 1~2 million for a remaster, being very optimistic about it.
A remake could get to 3 million if we're talking about a high budget remake.
JRPGs like Lost Odyssey don't sell well. Teenagers and weaboos don't care about existentialism.
It takes a certain level of maturity for them to care, which they lack.
For them, it's all about their fictional waifus and dating sim harems to make them feel better about their lack of self worth and purpose.
People said the same about Dragon's Dogma, and yet here we are.
It *was* FF13

I am not familiar with modern Xbox. Does it not have remote play?
edit: apparently remote play does not support backwards compatible games.

Lost Odyssey looked good in its day and couple of the stories were effective, but on the whole I thought it was mediocre.
Battle system was dull as fuck and you could basically win the game by spamming the same non-elemental magic spell you get from the moogle stand-ins at the start of the game.

It's so good and a simple remaster with upgraded textures and a higher resolution would do the game wonders.

I loved Lost Odyssey, only Xbox game that I actually cared to get all achievements. I'd buy a remake in a heartbeat.

Time to fix that.
There's lots of backward compatible games available on Xbox and they're still cheap both physically and digitally. I think I got Lost Odyssey last year for around €10 from a FB marketplace deal.

Hironobu Sakaguchi Has "No Interest" in Bringing Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon to New Platforms
In a new interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the legendary game developer and father of Final Fantasy, sat down to discuss the recent announcement of Fantasian Neo Dimension. The interview itself is a fascinating read, with many insights into his current life and...finalweapon.net

I didn't have one until last month, either. I found someone selling an Xbox 360S complete in original box with four controllers and four games. Bought the game online. It cost the same for all of this as it would for one modern game after tax.
Xbox One S sell for $100 CAD locally, if you want to splurge. Then the whole setup would cost 1.5x a new game.
No excuse.
It amuses me how many people dismiss Fantasian as a "mobile game." It's a full-fledged console JRPG guys, and a very competent one at that—superior to Lost Odyssey in many aspects, including gameplay-. If you're a fan of Lost Odyssey and JRPGs in general, you should be very excited that Fantasian is coming to consoles and that a sequel is on the way. Instead of ignoring it by mistakenly believing it's a mobile game and lamenting something that isn't going to happen (Lost Odyssey is already 17 years old).

Looks like Microsoft in the case of Lost Odyssey, and they've last renewed the trademark in 2020.

And FF15.
Lost Odyssey was an old school JRPG. Too bad it came out at a time when everyone hated JRPGs and wanted to play Gears of War.
