Lost Odyssey
So, once again I'm going to try my hand at pimping another game here. I picked this one up yesterday and man, it's good. It's like, playing an older Final Fantasy game, with next-gen graphics and storytelling capabilities. That in mind, if you don't like RPGs, this game won't change your mind, it's a traditional outing with very little gameplay innovations, but what it does, it does very well.
The story is quite excellent so far, a lot more mature and emotionally driven then you'll find in any other RPG. In particular, there are these dreams sequences where you can read short stories about the long life the main character has lived (he's 1000 years old, immortal). The dreams are truly fantastic, apparently they were written by some acclaimed novelist, and man does it show. They're incredibly emotional and add a ton of depth to the characters, really good stuff.
Anyways, buy it.
