So, Lost Odyssey and FFX...

After E3, I've been hearing a lot of mummbling, especially on 1UpYours, that Lost Odyssey might basically function as a Final Fantasy X clone, as far as the battle system, and as an all-encompassing Final Fantasy tribute, as far as storyline, characters, and score.
Is it wrong that this actually makes me MORE excited for it?

Some people get pictures... All I've got are words. Letters and numbers and exclamation points!

I'm pretty sure he means using the CTB system, not the Sphere Grid.
And it'll be nice to get a traditional JRPG on the 360. Hell, the fact that both the Gooch and Umetsu are behind it has me really excited.

So, PC RPGs?
Not exclusively. Jade Empire, Mass Effect, KoToR also fall into that category.

See also Pen and Paper RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. I don't know if PC RPG applies as much anymore since a lot of Western RPGs have been getting console releases.

And none of those have ended up/will end up on a PC. :roll:
Yeah, it pretty much comes down to Western PC RPGS versus Eastern Console based ones.
And no PCs RPGs have ended up on a console. :roll:
Way to miss the point.

I'd say that the primary difference is that while JRPGs are primarily focused on moving you through a linear story, Western RPGs tend to be far more freeform, and give you much more control over the nature of your character and your actions. There obviously isn't a sharp line between the two, though most RPGs clearly fall on one side or the other.
Actually only 7, 8 and 11 were on the pc.
Thats what you think.
Considering that FFX is a blight upon mankind? Yes.
If Lost Odyssey is anything like FFX, Mistwalker can just go fuck themselves and die from the infected blisters.
So far, I think it's just speculation. Thank god. Nothing has led me to believe that there are any spiky haired emo tards and his juvenile minded bitch.
EDIT
I just went back through the TGS gameplay video. Well... there's menus. And, uh... fighting. zOMG FFX clone!

Final Fantasy X battles
I don't know what to say other than 1UpYours probably got their information from the same A-holes who blamed the 360's "lack of power" for the GTAIV day.
I was under the impression that the Lost Odyssey battle system shown at TGS 2006 had been said by Sakaguchi to be a placeholder and that we'd had no solid info on it since.
I thought it wasn't even shown at E3. I vaguely remember a new trailer some time around E3 but I don't remember it containing any discernable gameplay footage (or at least any with a UI showing).
But dear God, Square, please make a better story than X. Please.
No love for Ultima?
Anyways, I'd be cool with a purdy homage to FF X, the battle system was pretty damn great.
Sounds like the Grandia system.
Ohmigosh. Was FFX just a rip off of Grandia II?
Square's not making Lost Odyssey- that's being done by Mistwalker, which was responsible for Blue Dragon.
Unless Grandia II's battle system was different than Grandia III's. For some reason I've owned II for like two years and never played it.
Ah, yeah, brainfart.
Still, though. Sakaguchi, please make something better than FFX's narrative.
The BD demo already wowed me and the trailers for LO look really great.
Actually, in FFX, certain attacks WOULD push back an enemy's turn order. If I'm remembering correctly. Maybe certain attacks were quicker and would let you go again before the enemy's turn came, compared to other attacks. In either case, the idea is very similar to Grandia.
Their systems are quite different, and yes, there was gameplay footage of LO at E3.
Regardless, I still think the two battle systems are pretty different from each other. Enough so that calling FFX's system a ripoff of Grandia's isn't accurate, though Sleep was probably joking about that.
