I've had Lost Odyssey since launch, yet am still only on the first disc. Having to work and go to school keeps my time limited with the game. However, I'm really loving it so far. Maybe its due to what I feel is a pretty engrossing story, or characters that I tend to actually like (which in a lot of RPG's, is one of my main gripes), but LO is hitting the spot for me.

I do like the fact that you aren't forced to grind (as much) to come out victorious in battles, and the fact that battles offer slight interactivity to them. It keeps dullness from setting in. Kaim is a pretty good main character, and Jansen offers good comedy. I know a lot of Final Fantasy fans will say its not as good, and maybe its not. I've only played a few FF games, and haven't finished many RPG's (played a bunch...haven't finished many). But for JRPG style offerings on the 360, I can't recommend LO enough. I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of the game when I get more time to play it.
