But not only just fight but you’ll need to pay attention to your gear and skills.

Something you will have to do in the game is fight. If you’ve played any JRPG, you know the basics of how turn based combat works. You don’t HAVE to read these but you’re really missing out on learning more about these characters by skipping them. This is, in my opinion, the strongest point of the game. They’ve loved, they’ve lost some of these memories are haunting. Kaim and the other immortals have lived for 1000 years. This game, however, through the memories showed that immortality is more of a curse than anything else. When I first read these in 2008, I always thought it would be cool to live forever. One in particular was about how a man Kaim met was wrestling with the reality of settling down with his wife and becoming a dad. I’d even say that some stories hit even harder. When I played this back in 2008, these stories hit hard and it’s no different in 2022. These memories are written by Kiyoshi Shigematsu who is known for his works like Naifu and Eiji. Since Kaim and the other eternals, sorry, immortals experience memory loss, you’ll unlock their memories as you progress through the game. Let’s start off with what makes Lost Odyssey rock solid: the Thousand Years of Memories and the combat. I’m here to discuss if the game was worth waiting all this time to finish and what playing it in 2022 was like. You have Sakaguchi, one of the creators of Final Fantasy, making the game so there’s going to be some similarities. Some have claimed the game is a FF rip-off but I’ve always found that critique to be, well, kind of dumb. I mean, there’s even a cranky old engineer character named Sed which sounds awfully similar to Sid. FF’s influence is on display in the game’s simplistic story and even the music is done by Nobuo Oeumatsu so you already know the music is going to be incredible. Lost Odyssey was developed by one of the big brains behind Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi. It’s up to Kaim and the gang to stop the big bad from taking control of all the magic and ruling the world. From there, the story unravels to reveal a conspiracy to take down the world governments.

After returning from a battle that was ended abruptly by a meteor, Kaim is sent out to investigate a facility that produces and controls magic with two characters, Seth and Jansen. To catch you up in case you haven’t heard of this game, Lost Odyssey follows Kaim Argonar, a mercenary who can’t remember a lot of his past. So, is it as good as I remember? Well, not exactly. Now, 14 years later, I have finally finished Lost Odyssey and done as much of the side content as I could stomach.
