Lost Odyssey | Review & Retrospective

Lost Odyssey is one of the Xbox 360's most beloved JRPGs... but in the grand scheme of things, that hasn't amounted to much. Trapped on a console that isn't known for it's selection of Japanese titles, its relevance in the world of RPGs has never exceeded the small number of devoted fans who sing it's praises. How did the concept for Lost Odyssey come about? How does it compare to contemporaries? Most importantly, does it *truly* stack up, or is the love for Lost Odyssey the product of rose-colored glasses? Please enjoy this review & retrospective where I attempt to answer these questions and many more. https://www.patreon.com/majuular https://twitter.com/majuular Special Thanks: Lazarus De Lis for the incredible thumbnail: https://twitter.com/LazarusDeLis 10min Gameplay for various pieces of footage: https://www.youtube.com/@10minGameplay1 World of Longplays for various pieces of footage: https://www.youtube.com/@worldoflongplays 00:00 - Introduction 2:40 - Sakaguchi & Mistwalker 10:42 - Disc 1: Introduction 17:38 - Graphics 20:33 - Combat & Skills 29:45 - Bosses & Bogimoray 32:26 - Jank & Jansen 37:09 - Kaim's Character 43:09 - 1000 Years of Dreams 50:38 - Funerals & Foul Play 53:38 - Dungeons & Grinding 57:56 - Closure 59:28 - Disc 2: Introduction 1:02:19 - Seth's Character 1:05:33 - Finding Sarah 1:09:36 - Confronting Gongora 1:14:29 - Music 1:19:15 - Disc 3: Plots Upon Plots 1:26:24 - Presentation & Influence 1:28:52 - The Plot(s) Thicken(s) 1:34:01 - Breathing Room 1:37:58 - Lost Odyssey & War 1:40:54 - Side Content 1:43:58 - Ming's Character 1:46:52 - Gongora's Character 1:50:07 - Final Confrontations 1:53:34 - Ending 1:59:55 - Conclusion 2:02:11 - Credits & Q&A
