I've been asked to encode a specific cutscene from Lost Odyssey. I'm not going to describe what happens in that scene, but needless to say there are MAJOR SPOILERS in there, and anyone planning to play that game should definitely not watch this video. For the others, it shows the good and bad points of the game, with a nice directing, good voice acting, and the various pros and also cons of the Unreal Engine 3. Again, MAJOR SPOILERS.
Also important, our reencoding system for streams and mp4/avi is down for the moment. I won't be able to repair it until at best tomorrom afternoon, so you'll have to survive with wmv only until then. Sorry about that.
Update: In the end I had to move the reencoding system to another server, and rewrite most of it. Everything seems to be working as before, and I've even upped the bitrate a bit so the video quality should be a bit better. Let me know if anything seems really different from before, in a bad way of course!

Commented on 2008-02-08 20:09:28i've heard the story is pretty terrible...which seems like a huge issue considering its a JRPG...i also wish they chose a different voice actor for the main guy. atm he looks like a typical effeminate FF-esque character...yet has the voice of someone who smokes 800 a day. its a very jarring contrast. final fantasy games tend to go far a far too high pitched, younger voice, and this goes for a rediculously low pitched WWE wrestler voice...cant they find a nice middle ground of normality....that goes for the characters appearence too....why do all male characters have to look like women?
very odd indeed. im not gonna say the game is mediocre tho, since thats down to opinion. it doesnt seem to be much of a critical success tho....much like blue dragon, which is a shame really.

Also, how anyone still thinks Kaim is effeminate I'll never know. The fact that the facial features on Tidus, Squall and AC Cloud are in female ratios and Kaim's isn't (I'm an art student, I do these things), goes to show that anime has seriously warped the Western world's chances of finding mates.

Commented on 2008-02-19 05:04:53 In reply to XeviantI think it's an Asian perception, like how some people can't tell Asians apart? Because I've asked some female friends about him, and they mostly agree that he's much more like a man than Cloud and others.
I don't see how his composure or behaviour are girly either. He leans, shrugs, etc. And those are general statistics. As long as he doesn't prance around or giggle, he's not doing anything 'girly'.
Also, can't ignore the fact he's infinitely less virgin than any other JRPG male character. By like, A LOT. Seriously, this guy has sown the wild oats by an almost impossible amount even given the 1000 years span o___0 (but he's a serial monogamist, so it's okay.).
