In his blog, he stated that he played the retail version for 20 hours to see if there was any technical differences to the review version.
Maybe he's innocent? :/
But as you said it's just gamespot lolz.

Okay, I went ahead and ordered some of the 4 disc cases from the http://www.kingdom.com store. I also ordered a set of 3 disc cases, and replaced my Blue Dragon case with one.
FYI the quality of the cases is fine for their price. If you order some however, be advised that in my two sets of 10 pieces each for each type, 3 cases total were damaged with sliced plastic sheaths. So you may want to order in bulk to avoid getting unlucky. They're cheap enough.
Apologies for the poor quality of the pictures. I didn't have access to our better digital camera this morning. But for those curious what their games would look like in these cases, here you go:
As a note, the four disc case doesn't have an empty pane to insert a manual into. However I found that laying the manual in the front of the case, on top of the folding center section, provided enough clearance for the case to close without feeling squeezed or overly tight, so it's all good.

I actually got stuck inside there for 6 hours, no joke. Went in at lvl 47 and came out at lvl 82. There wasn't a difficult battle for me after surviving that particular dungeon.
A bit late to this party, but if all the party member interaction is as fun and awesome as the banter provided by Seth and Jansen in the beginning, this is going to be a fucking great game.
I'm already enjoying the hell out of this one.
Truly touching short stories, truly hilarious dialogue. I was worried the game would be too cliche and dry - I was wrong to worry.

I just finished the game with 900 points.
Question about the final battle...
Def. one of the best RPGs I've played in a long time. Yeah the story dips on disc 3 but I'm willing to forgive it. The voice acting was way above par along the overall story in general. I really don't see myself going for the all treasure achievement. Perhaps if I had more time, but ya know, Smash on Sunday and all...
Question about the final battle...
Can you even die on the last boss? The whole thing seems scripted out. Not that I really have a problem with that, I thought it all played out real well. In fact, I think more RPG final battles should be scripted out it makes good with the story. The real final boss is The Immortal anyway.

All right, I'm in disc 4, made it to some
and I enjoy the whole
but damn if this area doesn't bore me to pieces for some reason. I've really enjoyed the game so far, but I'm losing the urge to go on. Pep me up!
ancient ruins or something like that

I took 2 days off from playing the game because I was out of town. Now, for the last two nights, I just can't get myself to get back into it....4 days off now. And I'm on the beginning of disc 3.
Zzoram said:
Yes to both. Save points appear often, dungeons are usually short, and you can save on the map screen. There are a couple times where you go an hour or more between saves, though.
Also, interesting stat tracking from 360voice.com

Lost Odyssey users actually peaked last weekend. Looks like the game is a relatively late bloomer sales-wise. Must be all the word-of-mouth praise.

Ya, it seems that gamers are receiving the game better than reviewers did. I know that one of my friends who hasn't played anything but Halo since it came out (well also Mass Effect because I wouldn't leave him alone until he bought it) is planning to buy Lost Odyssey on his next paycheck.
I've made it to Disc 3... no important reason I'm reporting it, but I just thought I'd let the official thread know. I think if I manage to continue playing LO while simultaneously playing God of War Chains of Olympus on the go and I don't lose interest, then I'll play it till completion.
Ironically, I'm now looking for RPGs on the PSP; what kind of game is Gurumin? And I may pick up Blue Dragon if I can find it for $20 used.

Beat it earlier today. Spent the last god knows how many hours blowing through Disc 4. Really good game. I really liked all the side missions and stuff. So much that the actual story dungeons in disc 4 are kinda blah. I ended up loving the entire cast, save Sarah The Bore.
And hot damn are those dream stories good. I ended up reading every damn one, and not a single one let me down.

Sh*t, I won't be in the states until early April... Whatever, I can wait. General concensus is that BlueDragon isn't as good as LO, right?

Was this directed at me, or are you also just getting into disc 3? I made it to Disc 3 last night, and I'm about to start playing it now... I hope it isn't difficult; I'm at the point where I really just want the story to progress.
As far as combat is concerned, I was fighting that

Honestly no fight in the game compares to the very first boss in terms of difficulty.-Rogue5- said:
Ok so I just got to the Temple of Enlightenment. What the fuck... seriously. The enemies outside of the temple are crazy strong but atleast beatable. However once I entered the actual temple my first encounter was a group of 6-8 7400 health exploding baboons. Now if that wasn't enough they fucking ressurect eachother meaning that by the time I've finally killed some of these bastards they call some of their dead buddies back in... with full health..
My characters are all roughly around lvl 55 but I doubt I'll get very far with them.

I was just flipping through the strategy guide and noticed a skill called "Zero MP Consumption". You get it from an item called the Eternal Magic Engine which according to the guide is "available through the xbox live market place". Anyone else notice this or know when this item is supposed to hit? I'd love to be able to cast infinite levelers and divides etc.

The funeral scene--and all of the twists around it--was just awesome. Really well done. The mini-games in between were eh, but oh well.
I'm on disc 2, and I have a question. I'd like an immediate reply on this, if possible:
Why is this game so underrated?

Bias against JRPG's in the western world.
Disc 1: Awesome start, slow pace, fucking good finale.
Disc 2. Good start. Its the gameplay/dungeon disc. I didn't quite dig them, but they were not bad, especially the mansion. Good finale, but the moments before that (having Jansen steal the cards) was one of the most annoying moments in gaming.
Disc 3: Starts slow, then the ice part. Awesome. Not a problem with any of the monkeys since I killed the bastards first. Everythin's good...
. Then after that? Pure awesomness. I counted 2 hours of pure awesome moments, some of the best in my gaming life, and I had yet to start
. Jesus.... everything was... like... wow.
. Can't play today, tomorrow neither, Smash Bros will consume my life on Sunday, but after that I plan on beating it. So far, Disc 3 is my favorite disc.
Wow I had a lot of say... was banned for 2 weeks and couldn't talk about the game :lol Haven't been bothered by loading either. Also.... WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME YOU COULD FLEE FROM BATTLES? I had fought every, SINGLE, battle until I accidentally hit left on the analog stick in the Attack menu and saw Equip, Formation and Flee. NEVER, NEVER did I see this. How could have equip saved me from so many nightmares.

Gohtza looked awesome, though it had horrendous frame drops
the Sarah and Kaim thing inside the train to look for the annoying duo of kids
Gongora killing those 7 bastards was fucking unnecessary though

I'm pretty sure the game tells you this by asking you to change formations mid-battle. Also Turn-Tail Boots are kinda a hint.Relix said:

My opinion is that it is a bit of what you mentioned...plus, it happens to be on a console who's competition is sorely lacking in the genre. Those who take up it's defense may have a chip on their shoulder.
Just IMO.

Just skill link it from Sed! Well if you have Sed yet.
Danielsan said:Thnaks for the tip. That will definitely come in handy
Btw in order to get the "unlock all skills" achievements for the immortals do you need to get all the skills from the mortals through skill linking?
You need to learn all the skills available from the Mortals and from all the accessories in the game.
Can someone help me with the Treasure Trove achievement? I have scoured the damn world for whatever it is I'm missing. The Auction House is closed up completely with a sign in front that tells me as much and the guy at the
Pirate Fortress
Yeah, I'm missing some treasure as well
Have you searched the coastline of the seafloor already? Dropped through the hole in the Dark Cave to get that chest Kaim couldn't climb to? Taken the elevator down to the floating lower level of the Temple of Enlightenment to open the chest there? Already have all 99 seeds, Cubic Musical scores, Invisible Chests, and Royal Seals?
Cuz that's where I'm at and I am still missing something! Argh!

Did you get all the invisible chests? Once you complete the cubic music score sidequest, you get the Sunderch Glasses, which allow you to see invisible chests. There's 10 of them scattered throughout the world. I know one is out front of the mansion and one is at the northern cape. To find the rest you either need to look in the guide or at a FAQ.

The only one I'm not clear on is the floating lower level of the temple of enlightenment. What's the item there? Everything else I've done including the rolling rock in the sorcerer's temple and trading in the three tablet fragments to the artisan in Numara.
