hey guys question for those on the 4th disk or who have completed
so I just got the magic stone to help power the nautalis, where do I go now? They really don't give you much direction here or maybe I missed something

edit: sorry whoever might have read my messed up spoilering
 
After beating the first disc, all i could think about was how the fuck Oblivion mangaed to fit on one dvd. What the hell takes up so much space? Are there full audio tracks for all 5 languages i saw in the menu?
 
One minor annoyance - does anyone know whether it's possible to turn OFF controller vibration? The over-enthusiastic rumble whenever anything mechanical is in the scene, is really getting on my nerves.

Did you guys see Jansen's hand when he held up the memory sphere thing? THE UNREAL ENGINE SUCKS AT FINGERS, CONFIRMED.

That was the only part that stood out to me as particularly ugly in the game. I was all like "Ew."

Wat.

HAVE YOU SEEN SETH'S HAIR? LOOKS LIKE ITS MADE OF FUCKING GREY PAPER, AMIRITE?

True, but I have seen that style of doing hair in so many games for so many years, i didnt effect me as much as the pixel fest that is Jansens bangs.
 
The damn chicken and little boy at the auction house are starting to piss me off with how much cash they are packing. I mean come on, how can a little boy and a freaking chicken pockets run so deep?!?:lol

I can't harm the boy, but that chicken is going to find himself dead, plucked, and deep fried


and thank you Himuro, and Blim, for the links
 
Finished up Disk 3 this evening. I can hardly wait to see how things come to a close on Disk 4. For now though it's side quest time.
 
Four hours in, so glad I picked this up.

That first boss fight was brutal. I won only 'cause I got lucky with 3 perfect hits in a row with Seth, who was equipped with the fire ring, and the boss didn't do his party attack.


Is this what I can expect with the boss fights? 'cause it's pretty tough to grind in this game I've found, since the encounter rates are so low.

I just got there, started one of the battles, and the enemy did FIVE CONSECUTIVE of the fire ball attacks. Total annihilation.

I haven't found any of the bosses to be particularly challenging at all. You really just need to set your character's skills up well and make sure you don't do the "wrong" thing.

I love Cooke but this made me fucking LOL.

As for that crane boss. I didn't actually defeat the Crane, I defeated the monster itself. It's "MASSIVE DAMAGE MAGIC ATTACK ZOMFG" wasn't all that devastating either >_>

:lol Yeah, Mack and Cooke are my least favorite characters. It also doesn't help when I really can't stand Cooke's voice either (or Phil, Lil, Sally, Shock, or anyone else Kath Soucie voices).

It's Sally from the old Sonic cartoon! I fucking knew I heard that voice before.

...and Seth is Princess Clara from Drawn Together, as much as I hate to admit to having watched garbage a few times.

Yeah, Seth is a lot of voices. She is Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls and Riku from Final Fantasy X.

Hmm . . . I know Sed is Prowl from the Transformers G1.

Is that the one where
Kaim gives the solider his medicine so he cure his daughter
? Yeah that one was pretty good.

I'm still thinking about typing these up and posting them on my blog. I'll post links up if I ever get to doing it.
 
Ugh, so Sarah is also an Immortal? Should I even bother with her? I'm sick of these blank slate characters!

EDIT: And I'm also sick of casters. I hate having to choose a spell (or do a shitty attack) for 3 out of 5 of my characters when I'm fighting random battles.
 
Dungeon design really went down the shitter at the end of disc 3 there. Could the sewers and poison gas cave have been any more uninteresting or tedious? Ugh.

Although, my favorite line in the game so far is right at the end of that disc:

"Jansen...

"Kaim, we thought you were dead...!"

"You're spitting in my face."
:lol :lol :lol :lol
 
Loving the game still, now at the beginning of disc 2, in the old sorcerer's mansion. I'm actually really getting into the combat system, since they really don't pull any punches. I had a game over earlier after not saving my game for a few hours and lost a lot of progress. Grrr, but I really liked the fact that it caught me off-guard when I forgot to heal in-between battles.

Still, nothing beats the awesome Thousand Years of Dreams intermissions which really puts this game into a class of its own. I just experienced "Grandma Coto's Bread" and... wow... I just turned off the game after that story and walked away from my console to savor emotional impact and high. (hint: wine helps too).

If folks are still on the fence about LO, don't hesitate to pick this up! Easily one of my favorite RPGs ever (and keep in mind I was in the middle of Baldur's Gate 2 when I started playing LO so the JRPG aspect isn't really that big of a hurdle).

I have to agree with you Che. This game is absolutely phenomenal and has become one of my favorite RPGs ever. I really wasn't expecting much after playing Blue Dragon (which I did enjoy in bits and pieces of), but after playing Lost Odyssey for a couple of hours, I found that I was very pleased with my purchase.

If the novel by Kiyoshi Shigematsu ever makes its way stateside, then I'll have to pick it up.
 
I'm trying to get a couple of my friends to buy this game so they can experience it awesomeness, but they won't listen to me because they disliked Blue Dragon a lot. Plus, they were turned off by a lot of the reviews. :(
 
Just started disk 3. Wow so much awesome shit developing, after two slow disks the story has finally picked up.:D

and jansen is effing hillarious.:lol i dont usually like humor or comic relief in j-rpgs, but this is one of the first ones i've actually liked.:lol
 
Had some time to get backto the game. I´m 30 hours in and still in Black Cave. I´m runnning out of MP too frequently and dont have any mana items (and i´m looking ofr slot seeds, i need them specially for Sarah).

Btw, whats with the multiple gold monoliths scattered through the game? are they part of some sidequest?

purg3 said:
I haven't noticed a difference, but then again I haven't had any issues running low on funds so I always buy new ones when they pop up.
Click to expand...

I have only got one for Jansen. Do they only modify the melee attack or have any other bonuses regarding MP, casting time, etc...? cos i would miss that component.
 
So I was late with delivering back the 20 Crystal fragments at the end of the first DVD/beginning of the second. Now I have received
the ship
, I can't go back into port-town.. will the bridge lower later on, so I can get my reward? Is it even worth it?

It's a 10% increase to Max HP accessory, if I recall.

It should be accessible later.
Click to expand...
Yeah it's accessible later. But then you'll have much better Max HP stuff anyway :)
I'm still in the temple of enlightenment, my party is all lvl 74 or 75 so the fights are a tad simpler, but damn this thing is a maze.
For those who finished this dungeon
What am I supposed to put at the top of the temple? I guess I have to do something with these strange magic spheres on the outside, but so far I didn't find a way to get there.

You have to place the two magic spheres you find in the temple on pedestals in a small shrine area. Once you've done that, one of those moving platforms will appear in the middle of the square area which leads you to the fight with Fu. Getting the two magic spheres is really tedious!

A pair of pending questions:

- whats with the multiple gold monoliths scattered through the game, like a mini version of the 2001 ones? are they part of some sidequest? I remember one at gongora´s palace garden and recently found another one at the black cave.

- Do the mages´s weapons/staffs, apart from more melee damage have other bonuses regarding MP, casting time? and are the rings bonuses applied when only casting spells or are they useless for them?

Yes, they are part of a sidequest. And it's one with very nice rewards.

As far as I can tell their staffs and the rings are only for physical attacks, so pretty much useless. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm still very surprised there is not a single FAQ about LO there.

It would a pity if thats the case, and having so many caster characters in the game would make it even worse.
 
Christ, just got the boat in Disc 2 and here I am deciding whom to swap out to put Ming in the party. I fucking hate it when RPG's do this sort of thing. Do sideline characters earn anything from battles?

Nope, and i dont think they even restore any kind of HP/MP.

I would have liked to be able to switch party members in the middle of battles.

No but when you put them in there,they catch up really fast... don't forget also that you can use the health spell from those on the sidelines to heal your party after a battle(for those that say they run low on mana) :)
