Re: [Xbox] Lost Odyssey: First Impressions

I'm a few hours in and I have to agree with Dredd. I am enjoying it. I
actually like the cut scenes and "dreams" as I agree with Dredd that they
add to the story. (One of the "dreams" almost had me in tears.)

One thing I will say is it's not the game to play when you don't have some
flexability to keep playing. You can only save at specific places and it can
take a while to get to them. If you like J-RPGs I think you'd really enjoy
it.
