Recently finished up Lost Odyssey. I loved the way the story was told and how they made the Dream sequences so enjoyable even though they were nothing more than text. The combat system felt really simplistic and because of that, only had rudimentary elements of strategy. Towards the end of the game, it basically boiled down to selecting the same sets of actions every battle. Perhaps I am judging it a bit harshly on the combat system since the last real RPG I played was Mass Effect which had real time combat. The character development was awesome though. You really got to know each and every one of the 9 characters you have with details going into their background and why they are who they are. Jansen in particular was probably the most enjoyable character in an RPG I have experienced. Each character was backed up with superb voice acting. The game difficulty started out pretty high, but as your immortals got more and more skills, the difficulty quickly became trivial. By the 3rd disc, they were basically unstoppable, immune to all statuses and elemental attacks.
Overall, Lost Odyssey is a great game. Its pace may be a little slow for people who want immediate satisfaction, but the end result is definitly worth the wait. Much thanks to Catnipped for acquiring a copy of Lost Odyssey! Hopefully, there will be many more free games to come =p
