[Xbox] Re: Lost Odyssey

Lost Odyssey practically is a Final Fantasy game. They might as well
have added that to the title. It does play great and has great
graphics. It is very much like the FF games. That is a good thing for
me though because I love turn based strategy. It's nice to have time
to decide what you want to do next without having to hurry before the
bad guys kill all your units. Some of the FF games had real-time
elements to them which I didn't like. It's the pits to have the bad
guys attacking you while you're trying to decide whether or not to use
a unit's magic abilities or weapons and then which spell or weapon to
use. The game also reminds me of the Lord of the Rings turn based game
that came out for the original Xbox only with better graphics. I wish
they would come out with a LOTOR turn based game for the 360. At least
with the LOTOR licence, I know the characters already (having read all
the Tolkien books) and have some idea what is going on. I like playing
FF games, but the characters are weird and the plots are hard to
understand. I mainly play them for the fun of figuring out which
combos best kill which enemies. Another great storyline that no one
uses for games much is the Dune series of books. That would make a
great turn-based game, especially the prequels that cover the Machiene
Crusade. Some of the story elements might seem familiar to gamers, but
that is because Frank Herbert came up with them back in the 60's and
many games and movies have stolen his ideas and changed them a little.
He was writing about machienes taking over humanity way before anyone
thought of Terminator or the Matrix.
