I've received the Asian version of Lost Odyssey tonight, this one is totally in English so I was finally able to capture a video of one of Kaim's dream in an easier to understand language than before. There it is, and it's surprisingly moving.
I love these dreams, but I can imagine alot of kids hating them because "OMG NO, TEXTZ D:"
I'm really loving the game, I always get excited when I get a new dream because, the Jap writer (And the Trans team) really did a good job with them, they are very moving and incredibly well done, I confess some made me get teary eyed :(

Mii too
I cryed almost every time.
Awesome game. I did not cryed since Final Fantasy X
Got the Asian version of this game myself and have clocked up about 7 hours so far. Im extremely impressed. I have to admit I wasn't expecting much after Blue Dragon, as that wasn't really anything special but this game has just drawn me in like all good games do.
The dreams are also very well done. Usually im not one for bothering with reading text based stuff like this but I read the first dream and it was moving as stated. I've had 3 other dreams since then and they've all been just as good. Really adds depth to Kaim's character.
And for people wondering, the Asian version has English, Japanese and Korean langues as options. The game works on NTSC-J and PAL consoles.
You'd expect that 8 minutes of watching text appear would be pretty boring, but this was surprisingly well done. It shows that you can sometimes accomplish more with good writing and a sense of style than you can with high-end graphics and action.
30GB is an hour or two worth of dl for those have good connections *GRIN* In any event, I don't dl games and have not dl this don't even own an modded console bise PS2 to play import.
In any event, this video I find very interesting, didn't actually know this game had quite a lot of visual novel's included into it, myself I deeply love visual novels, it feels a bit more entertaning to read with a bit of scenery and fitting music.
There is sadly way to few of them in english, some very good ones who is out there is eg narcissu http://narcissu.insani.org/ I recomend to check it out, it's also free.
Yeah, I ordered my copy ( or more specific, two copies. Like to support good game companies :) ) on 24th so I except to get this game on thursday or friday. Can't wait.

The Asian pirates are not getting this game because its on multiple disk. The same thing happened with Blue Dragon.
?
I'm talking about people on this forum and others who magically all seem to have ordered the game from an Asian site before it was even announced it would work on a PAL system.

If N3 and BD are any indication (and they are), the PAL version will be 100% identical to the JP and Asian versions, not a single tweak.
May have to get this version then.
30GB on my connection would take weeks, id get 1GB then they would throttle my connection and then it would be stuck at 15kb/s for 24 hours until the throttle is lifted. Downloading anything big on my connection is a no no lol.
Not saying its the reason why I don't pirate games though ;)

It was announced to be PAL compatible when it was released, at very same day (24.1) at least in Play-asia.com. My copy was ordered and shipped at the same day. But yeah its odd that somebody already has got one...

Commented on 2008-01-28 23:05:57seriously though, i think i would get pretty bored of this if it comes by regularly

Commented on 2008-01-29 00:47:32Good for them.
Commented on 2008-01-29 01:06:13 In reply to BlimBlimI may get this version my only gripe is I have heard that load times are really long and that the pal version may be better tweaked.
Can anyone who has played this version comment on how the framerate and loading is?
edit: Also those who downloaded it my god must of took a while how big is this game like 30 GB?
