Support NeoGAF

[Pallas]

I’d love for a port to other consoles, and even a good remaster and definitely a sequel but it’s not completely lost if you have a Xbox one or series console. There’s ways to play it if you have the correct consoles.

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.

They're both backwards compatible on Xbox, so just play them on the Best Place To Play™.
And, as I realize after I just posted this, the only one.

Lost Odyssey was at least better than FF13

It *was* FF13

In my fictional timeline, it actually is.

Well, emulation it is then.
I have Lost Odyssey on Xbox, but would love to play it on the Ally X at some point.

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.

 

[Shifty1897]

What about The Last Story, then?


Please?

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

The man, the legend.
Showing the middle finger to remakes and remasters and only looking forward.

Never backwards… just dropping another classic

There is no excuse for not playing these games as-is.

Ummmm...I dont have Xbox...I only have PS5 and Switch.

 

[trikster40]

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

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Ummmm...I dont have Xbox...I only have PS5 and Switch.

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.

 

[Little Chicken]

They don't need him to remake it.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Lost Odyssey was at least better than FF13

It's better than FF16 too.

 

[Danjin44]

Time to fix that.

There too many games coming out that I need to buy and I also need to save money when new Nintendo system comes out…..I cant effort put money towards buy Xbox.

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...

And thats why i emulate games.

You can buy blue odyssey on Xbox right now.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Ummmm...I dont have Xbox...I only have PS5 and Switch.

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.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I want to play the last story

 

[Kaim0]

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).

Who owns the Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon IPs? Microsoft or Mistwalker?

It's better than FF16 too.

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.
