Happy New Year! (and decade?) I love starting the year off right with a game I love like Lost Odyssey. Created by the original masters behind the Final Fantasy, let me tell you this game holds up, and one I consider Mistwalker's best of their brief history. The console exclusivity prevented many from playing this, but I hope this recap gives everyone a taste of the great characters and world that was fleshed out. Though this was meant to come out in December, real life challenges delayed things a bit, so thank you for your patience. Please enjoy and thank you for your continued support!

I'm so angry this game never turned into a series. This, Infinite Undiscovery, and Rogue Galaxy all deserved sequels. They are the most underrated rpg games I've ever played.

Lost Odyssey, or as I like to refer to it, the real Final Fantasy XIII.

This and Blue Dragon were the reason I owned a 360 way back when. While everyone else was playing Halo and Gears of War, I was playing these.. ..and Viva Pinata. 😂

I can tell even from the beginning that you love this game, with how you wax about the game's numerous and complex mechanics from character advancement to extra content; your tone is different from other RECAPitations. I absolutely love your word choice and storytelling voice in your RECAPitations, but your characterization of Jansen is the stuff of legend in this RECAP. Where I expected a game of racial undertones from the onset (Gongora's plot of being an Immortal autocrat aside), I'm pleased with the delivery of a tale of a battlefield with political intrigue, betrayal, family, and loss. Salutes are also given to the game's narrative by splitting the party multiple times as a result of the game's plot. It always feels convenient when a party stays solvent from beginning to end. I also give bonus points to this game's tale by creating adult characters who have families, children even, that affect their actions. Also, Sed used the boost to get through, hahahah! Love your humor, Black Mage. Thank you very much for the hard work on this RECAPitation, and I'll meet you on the next battlefield.

I remember playing this, and crying over Kaim’s dreams, but I never beat it. Thanks for telling the story. I got further into this game than I thought.

I first got this game on the recommendation of a GameStop employee. I played the hell out of this game. It totally flew under the radar and is an amazing game!

One thing I didn't understand is how Sed still has both of his legs. In the Seth's Dream part 2 flashback it mentions that Aneira bit Sed's leg off, but Sed doesn't appear to have a prosthetic leg and as far as I remember it's never addressed.

This is what Final Fantasy XIII should have been.

A sadly under appreciated gem of a JRPG.

Well done !

This game made me so damn sad! Those stories... Jesus.

Yes, yes, yes

Literally one of my favorite RPGs of all time
