Like every Wednesday it is Famitsu time with first the blurry photos and later hopefully the better quality scans. Lost Odyssey had two pages this week, full of new pictures. Update: Added the whole 6 pages in good quality.
sorry for the double post but in case anyone is wondering, the names of the Characters are:
Kaim (Main character)
Seth ( Blue Haired girl with sword)
Sed (Old guy with gun)
Jansen (Guy in robe with staff)
Sarah (Female with Yellow Dress)
Ming ( Female with Blue Skirt and staff )
Tolten (Male with Golden armor)
The other 2 young characetrs name i heard in a gameplay video, but im not shure how they are spelled, but its something in the vein of - Nak and Kuk

No world map = fail
:(
Let's just hope the game will be good enough to make up for it. But world maps are big part of what made RPG's so fun...
umm what? did FFX, X-2, and XII fail? i think not...i do like having a world map to walk around and explore, but this game is huge anyway, and it does have submarines, so maybe there is an undersea world map aswell as the FFX style world map.

The Lost Odyssey scans are great. They finally reveal more information about the gameplay and music. Here are some highlights:
- Only mortal characters gain new skills as they level up, but the immortal characters rely on a "skill link" system to gain the skills of the mortal characters.
- There are up to 6 skill slots, so you have to pick and choose to customize each character.
- As you use skills, they get more powerful for that character.
- When you equip rings and accessories, they can add special things to your attacks. The special element will be triggered if you get a Perfect on the combat ring timing.
- Rings are crafted using materials you get from beating normal enemies. There are tons of crafting possibilities affecting everything from damage, elemental attacks, defense, critical rate, stealing, etc.
- All equipment changes are visible in all scenes except in movies. Sakaguchi was saying how it would be silly if a character had a nekomimi (cat ears) on during a serious scene. :)
- The world map in the game seems to be a map where you select locations from a list, similar to FFX and FFX-2.
- Uematsu composed over 50 tracks for Lost Odyssey, and used a variety of instruments for the score.
- There are 3 vocal songs in the game, all lyrics written by Sakaguchi. Two of them are in English.
- More details on the music and other stuff will be revealed at the Lost Odyssey Premiere event on 19 Nov.
^ THANKS!!!...I was hoping for Lost Odyssey to have a main Theme Song :)...and also, needless to say....

Kuk... LOL well you do not wanna know what you just wrote if that was swedish :p
In any way if my katakana is not failing me the guys name is ashiku and the girls name is kushiku
In that one video, the way her expression changes when she's looking around and suddenly finds her son is incredibly amazing and realistic. You can actually see it in her eyes as she vaguely looks around, spots a familiar face, and show suprise. It's probably the best facial animation I've seen in a game.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
