Yeah, I think you're right. Thanks for reminding me.
Anyway, I beat him on the next try. Its all about being lucky that he doesn't use that one devastating move on all party members more than once or twice. On my first try he used it 5 times in a row.

It's not the boss fight. Once you crack the code on that one it's easy. Jensen makes short work of them. It's the god damned slaughter afterwards.

How many skill slots can an immortal get?
Jimmy Stav said:
The lift you took out of the boss chamber that takes you back into the forest has a control panel right in front of it. Press A next to it to activate the lifts in the area. You can tell it worked when they have a red/pink aura around them.
Buggy Loop said:
12 slots using slot seeds. Not sure if you can go above 12 using slot increasing items too.

I just got through that part, it was brutal. for some reason throughout the cutscenes there, the voices kept cutting out. is that normal or just a glitch?

I agree that they should have figured out a way to display the turn sequence. It's a bit annoying. Honestly, I think they would have been better off with an ATB system ala FFX, but it's not bad the way it is.

....just played for about 2.5 hours.....i'm in loooooove 
It's just a little news bit about the packaging here. (Written as straight news, so no lolz or wwwwwww'ing) They mention Americans are up in arms over the shitty packaging and some are claiming that they'll cancel their preorders, and show Wark's pic to show how the fired up members of the game forum NeoGAF are reacting.
Man, that controversy feels like forever ago.

As long as Cry On isnt packaged in a stapled shut ziplock bag, im good.

Whats up with Cooke and Mack getting so freaked out about those blind reptilian things in the Black Caves? Seriously, two kids just finished being possessed, blowing up a tank, visiting a haunted house, and nearly having to beat up their own grandma who was also possessed to a certain extent... and their scared of some normal creatures?
Whew, long day at work. However, my most precious moment today was convincing someone to buy a pro over looking for an elite (he didn't even want XBL) and then ramming LO down his throat and making him buy it :3
+1 LO sale!
Edit: (turns out the guy was in the military, I wonder how he'll take to it?)

?)Yesterday, I've reached Disc two but a strange thing happened: after the "disc change successful" messeage, the guide popped up without any messeages on it. I've pressed B and it dropped me back into the dashboard. Afther that, there wasn't a problem after all, I was able to continue the game but man, it made me scared a little.
Btw, new record for me, I've never ever passed the first disc in any JRPG although I've played with most of them. I've loved FF8 and LO reminded me to that that's why I've picked up. I don't like japanese RPGs', but this is different. After the slow start and some mindbreaking battles, I'm finally fully enjoying it.

The falling petal scene was absolutely beautiful

Reminded me of the movie Tremors 2. Those enemies looked like they were ripped from that movie lol.
Anyway, I'm going to call it quits for tonight. I'm pretty much at the end of disc 2 and this section is annoying as hell
(Experimental Staff) took forever to get the key cards since the fucking steal command is broken. 45mins. later I saw that you could make a pickpocket ring which definitely made things go a lot faster.

That happened to me too. Also for some reason in the boss battle
with the Black cave monsters

I got DMC4 two weeks ago and have yet to beat Mass Effect. Question: Is LO good enough to warrant getting it within two weeks of my last videogame purchase?
I could go out and grab it tomorrow with yet another gift certificate I have in my drawer.

It's amazing the positive forum response this is getting. I mean, Blue Dragon surely had its moments in the community, but Lost Odyssey is being received unpredictably strongly on the forums. I'm still on the edge as to whether or not I'm going to pick it up in the next week or so (unless there are a barrage of positive comments following this post -- that might incite me to do so) but I'm definitely picking it up soon.

Nightz said: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.
let us know if they send the paper sleeve with the case

I picked up Lost Odyssey today and they only had one copy. It was the display copy and it was open, so I was kind of confused when the girl at Gamestop took all four discs out of the paper sleeve and put them all on the spindle. I was going to tell her that one was supposed to stay in the sleeve, but I thought whatever and just left. Interestingly, I think that putting all four discs on the spindle holds them more tightly in the case (up against the instruction booklet even) and there's less chance of one falling off and getting scratched. I recommend it for anyone worried about scratches.
On a second and more unhappy note, I don't even have my 360 right now. FedEx has tried twice to deliver it to me from the 360 graveyard, but I'm never home to sign for the package. I wonder if I'm going to have to pick it up somewhere. Either way, I'm dieing to play this game.

Yeah, I was skeptical at first since it felt so totally old-school JRPG, but this game has been really good so far. Loving the hard boss fights, the turn-based combat, the thousand year dreams, the voice acting, everything.
The gameplay/system actually seems pretty deep too. Not far along enough in the game yet but I can see lots of possibilities for skill linking, rings, and formations.

My first fight with the first boss: downforce twice. Game over.
Tried the flame ring, seemed pretty useless (85 damage per Kaim hit)...Jansen was doing the most damage but the boss loves to hit him all the time.
Finally beat it on the fifth try, though it took every healing potion in my inventory. For some reason that fight the boss hits Jansen until he's dead and then spams down force. (Lv15 at that time...)
Also nearly died twice afterwards, those mad beasts near the mine carts combined with the 100+ damage poison attacks nearly killed me (the beasts love to auto-dodge and then counter for 1/3rd Kaims HP.) I hope the game comes down to a reasonable difficulty curve soon, or I won't be getting anywhere.
Actually, what's that GC restore item on defend supposed to do? I gave it to Seth and...she's just taking less damage while defending? Am I missing something?
