Sounds sweet
 
the character looks even uglier in that screen than in the old one.
 
Commenting on his role, Ohsawa states that the power of the Xbox 360 and the new graphics technology at his hands (Lost Odyssey uses the Unreal 3 engine) allows for many new forms of expression. He believes it important to make the game's world match the style of the characters that were designed by comic artist Takehiro Inoue

i think it's interesting that the game is using the Unreal engine. i have really high expectations of this game. i can't wait to see new screens/videos.
 
The game's art director, we've also learned, is Takamasa Ohsawa, known for his work on the Shadow Hearts series of RPGs. Ohsawa is working on the general design of the world and also has a hand in character work.
Nice, Ohsawa was art director for Koudelka and Shadow Hearts 2.
 
Supposively, the gameplay's leveling up system will revolve around your character's emotion. I think that could work out if done right.
 
Well, I'm actually glad to hear Ousawa's working on this. Most of the news concerning LO has been pretty much a bummer for me.

By the way, has anyone seen any of the original art Inoue produced for LO? 'Cuase that picture doesn't look even SLIGHTLY like it's been derived from his work. The face, the armor, the seemingly misproportioned body, nothing like what I would expect from him.
 
Art design and overall concept of this game both seem awesome. Here's hoping Sakaguchi's return to the world of games is triumphant!
