I kinda wish people would focus more on what Woolie and I think, is some incredibly funny/silly commentary, which is kinda why they are supposed to be watching, and not our passing distaste for a mini-game that constitutes less than 0.1% of FFX.

Yeah, I looked at the comments and I'm just completely baffled by this. :psyduck: It's a lovely minigame that you don't get adequate instructions and a chance to play before having to spend half an hour saving Yuna because the party is full of the worst Guardians ever. WHO GIVES A poo poo?!

Oh right Woolie has that weird love affair with Lost Odyssey

Lost Odyssey is a fun JRPG with good jokes that is poorly placed and also like six disks.

Lost Odyssey is a game I have thought about tracking down for years because I heard that it has a similar combat system to Final Fantasy X. I'm not sure if it's a good game though.

The combat is nothing like FFX. It's more like a suikoden game with Quicktime action for physical attacks. It also makes players quit on the 2nd boss because it's a DPS race (if you have the right equipment on) and just barely winnable unless you grind hard.

It's solid, nothing earthshattering or anything. The gameplay is pretty standard outside of the timing ring tied to physical attacks (it's less annoying than it sounds) so if you're itching for a modern-looking game with a lot of classic RPG systems you can do a LOT worse than Lost Odyssey. The best part for me (and probably a lot of people) was the 1000 Years of Memories, which are essentially just a bunch of short stories you collect across the world designed to deliberately tug at your heartstrings.

It's pretty different from FFX. Normal attacks have a little minigame to them that influences how much damage you do. Mortal characters learn skills by gaining levels and can make use of skills granted to them from accessories.But unlike the Immortals, they can't be learned permanently and disappear when you take the accessories off. All of the mortal characters learn new skills by levelling up. Immortal characters on the other hand learn new skills by either Skill Linking with a mortal ally, or by wearing accessories in combat. Skill Linking gives the Immortal access to the skills that mortals possess. It's built a lot differently from FFX since they're constantly acknowledging the whole Mortal vs Immortal thing.

There's an LP of it going on if you wanna have a look for yourself. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3732875

It's not like you can really grind though, what with the area level caps.

FFX has good voice acting. My evidence is the laughing scene. The laughing is SUPPOSED to be bad, but the actors are so GOOD at it people think it's ACTUALLY bad. Now that's skill.

It's actually surprisingly great.

I decided to start out as a nomadic Khorne ruler, steamrolled my lone Tzeentch-worshiping neighbor, used the prestige to hold a deathmatch tournament for Khorne, among the other entrants I killed all three of my sons and both my courtiers, got a ton of respect from winning the whole shebang and from that an even bigger army of lunatics to continue rolling my unfortunate Slaaneshi/Nurglite neighbors. It's A+ poo poo.

Like I shouldn't be so amazed at how much a team of dedicated dudes can do in a mod, but drat if I'm not in this case.

Depending on what you mean by offensive, cause over-the-top gay is a regular occurrence. Shadow Covenant 2 had a gay vampire luchadore in WW2 era.

edit: Matt, please tell me at some point you realize to turn on Short Cutscene for the summoning.

In FFX part 13, during the laughing scene, I took a drink.

I very nearly choked on it when Woolie shouted "YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE"

Bless you, Woolie.

Do they bump up the game volume volume in later ffx episodes? I watched the first one when it came out and they talk about how the voice acting is so weird but I can't hear it literally at all.
