Warning, there is nothing new to see in the following images, these are all from the now 6 months old demo of Lost Odyssey. I've been asked to do some comparison pics from the main character CG model and the realtime one using my new hardware, and as always I got a bit too enthusiastic and ended up with 28 images :) Only thing new to me is these two enemies I encountered near the end of the demo, I had always thought there were only frog characters there. The game release is still planned for December all around the world.

After I watched the HD video of this one at IGN, some how the visual beauty is drawing me to it.

The amount of detail, colors, art design...etc. just great. I don't like JRPG at all, but this one is just, wow factor.

I have to think about it very deeply if I should get it or not.

The character models look top, the enviroments are quite boring.

Want to this in motion, tho I'm not a fan of this genre.

New footage on the 16th , I'm hoping that the realtime elements to the combat get me interested.

Amazing character models... The in-game model looks far better than the CG-I one...

Too bad we have to wait til December to put our hands on it... The game I´m looking for the most... with Blue Dragon...

Do you think that the overall enviroment of the game will be like those shots?

If you think yes, you are wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if the graphics look much better now, the Demo build was very underwhelming in terms of animation.

Can't wait to see some new stuff.

as much as i hate to say this...the final version of the game would be a lot less than impresive...i mean the developers always show a bad ass trailer or screenshots...but at the end the graphics turn out to be lame....just check Assasins Creed......lets hope this dosn't happend this time around....

Well the scripted final attack against that robot looked darn good to me. The rest too by the way ^^.

The latest Famitsu stated in an in-depth Q&A with the producer that the game is 70% from completion and that the developers are laready fine-tuning the game. They're improving the framerate in places where it drops. And they're busy with making the load-times as unnoticable as possible. :)

The in-game models always look better if you ask me. This game in particular will blow everyone away, I think. I'm just dying for some NEW screens.

Yea i've read that, but from someone who has played the Demo the animation (not framerate) was horrible in places.

Graphically speaking it is very good, but i sometimes wonder if dev's put too much into graphics and not enough into animation.

SE games seem to be the reverse of this, although Blue Dragons animations were very good, so i can only hope this will be just as good. (I actually wonder if UE3 just isn't suitable for complex animations)

Dude, you can't be serious. Assassins Creed looks nothing short from amazing and the game hasn't loss any of its visual flare since the first time we even saw the game in action last year. Where did you see any bad images of the game and what game would you dare to compare to its visuals to support your comment about its graphics.

Its probably not that Assasin Creed was downgraded more that peoples expectations have increased.

Why this talk of Assassin's Creed being downgraded? What exactly have we seen that could lead to such talk? The game looks amazing. As does Lost Odyssey

Thats some awesome capture hardware Blim. Very impressive. Also the game was only like 40% complete back then so the environments not looking so hot is understandable.

I probably keep repeating myself here but...since Day 1 I have been eagerly waiting for Lost Odyssey. In my long “gaming career,” never has there been another game that gave me that kind of excitement and emotion.
I’m very happy that my journey will finally come to an end this December!

LO will be something special.

looks pretty good but still not really my sort of game & the fact it comes with so many CGI videos that it needs 4 DVD's really takes the game off my list of potential buy-when-finished-other-games list ;)
