So for some reason I've been thinking about getting this game. The trailer really impressed me and I've heard the story really grabs you once you get into it. Anyone have any thoughts on this game?

wow, I fucking love this game. I went and picked it up yesterday and I have to say its a pretty powerful game but its definitely not for everyone. The world in which the game takes place in is so fully thought out, so well realized, it will totally immerse you if your into this kind of stuff. The games story sinks its teeth in you 2 hours into it, but I was hooked way before that. When I unlocked my first memory. These memories (so far I only have 2) are basically walls of text but man are they very well written walls of text. I consider them to be a collection of Aesop stories they have the same tone spirit in them; I feel like a kid again when reading them and personally, as a kid I always LOVED Aesop stories and still do. The game does nothing new in terms of RPG stuff, but I consider the way in which the story background and world is so fully realized and so carefully and meticulously executed to be a defining feature. I compare this game to Phoenix Wright in terms of writing. However Phoenix is a very whimsical jokey kind of style the way the game envokes a poweful array of emotion was pretty unparalleled in my opinion. While Lost Odyssey is extremely serious and much more mature and I feel it Surpasses Phoenix Wright in writing. Something not easy for me to say since I regard PH as the top in videogames.




Im summarization This game has feelings. This game has words, lots of them. I'm probably a bitch. teleport.gif
