Do you guys play with English or Japanese voice-acting?
I find the English voice acting sound stupid in some cases, although I know the game was designed for English voice acting.
Is it me or does the Japanese voice acting seem more "laid back" and resembling normal speech?
Especially for Seth

Alright, got to the first boss (mini-boss?) on the top of the mountain and got my ass handed twice.
When you cast Shield, does it last the entire encounter or just 1 round or what? There's nothing to indicate the character even has a shield.
Not really sure of a good strategy since my options are so limited. Any advice?

Flare bomb is an item that should hit for about 125-135, and Jansen has flare that will hit for about 200. Kaim doesn't need to be a spellcaster. If you straight up strike with Kaim and Seth you're looking at maybe 75 pts per attack...it's silly to do that.
Don't use Jansen to heal...flare is too offensively valuable.

I'm stuck at the sorcerer's shrine (the area after the crimson forest) looking for Mack.
I'm in a room with stairwells and giant rolling boulders, with a locked door and a save point with no apparent way to proceed. Can anyone help me out here?

Go back to the city and get around 12 flare bombs, and spam them using Kaim and Seth. Use Jansen to cast flare, and have either Kaim or Seth heal when necessary. It should be a relatively quick battle with the flare bombs.chespace said:

Does anyone have any nice pictures of Ming? I'd like to make a new avatar.
Those earrings you see are most likely accessories! Just take them off. I made a post about it earlier:Y2Kev said:

Ah, the lovely sea vaginas. :lolY2Kev said:The Sea of Baus is beautiful.
I think it's cool how there haven't been any duplicate monsters with different color sets yet as I'm up to the third disc. The monster design is totally awesome although there was a part in Disc 2 where I felt I was stuck in the ruins in PSO fighting Dark Falz minions. :lol I think it was the Black Cave.

Just got through
, kinda sad, kinda frustrating. I want to keep playing, but I'm going out tonight and I don't want to find my way into a 2 hour save trap again... :\
Loving it so far, though, at about 8 hours.

Composite magic
Holy shit
I don't think I've played a jrpg that has as much visual variety as this. The game hasn't recycled ANY monsters thus far.
Hells yeah, I taught composite magic to all of my spellcasters lol. It's nice when you get lucky and hit an enemy for almost 2x its HP, but I've also had a few times when it hit for like 10 points.

It's a fetch quest and also has a button pressing sequence

Doesnt really do good to cast shield when you dont really have time to set up. Im just going to give you a few hints: Find a way to nullify poison at all times on Kaim and Set, and find out how to get everyone to attack fire based. Think about the weaknesses of enemies, its really important in the game. Just as important as a Megami Tensei series game.
In other words check the manual as well.
Oh and shield and other stat effects are shown when you put a casting or item cursor on a party member. You can see a blue arrow up or down with the stat next to it.
And the Funeral activity isnt as bothersome as some make it to be. You can gather the items pretty fast, and the torch section is easy as well.

Is there anything I need to being doing early on in the game to get the various
achievements? What exactly are they?
..........Class Master.........
Got this from GameFly yesterday. I had my doubts about the game, so I was just planning on renting it for a few weeks. But after playing all day today, I clicked on the Keep It button.
Just out of curiosity, how much playtime should I expect from this game? I'm thinking overall, but a breakdown for each disc would be great as well. I won't be rushing through it, but I won't be trying to find every little secret in the game either. I just want an idea of how many hours of my life will be spent on the game.

I think 10 hours per disk would be a rough estimation not including optional quests and the occasional death.

Should I have the Sunderch Glasses by now?
. I haven't been following the guide the whole way and there are a few items that are listed as requiring Sunderch Glasses to see.
I'm rescuing Mack
LOL... are we sure that the developers of Lost Odyssey didn't consult Team Ninja on this game. I thought I wouldn't see boobs bigger then Rachel's in Ninja Gaiden. Not only do Ming's top them, but they have all kinds of veins on them! Also Seth has some of the best modeled boobs in any game.
In all seriousness though, REALLY enjoying this game. The combat, the boss challenges, the polish of the story. I just finished disk 1 with about 11 hours of playtime.

It doesn't do that because the order is determined by the moves. Attacks are usually quicker than magic and skills and so on. its decided on a move-by-move basis.

Yeah...the first boss is pretty tough. :lol
Died twice so far. I wish it told you how much life the bosses have left.
