Lost Odyssey is very good but really takes a very long time to get going. The first disc is very slow and the story only really gets going byt the end of that disc. Then the battle system becomes a thing of beauty at the end of the second disc. It's worth playing but you need patience to slog it out since it takes a while to be rewarding.

Blue Dragon annoys me. The battle system is excellent but it's too easy. But the main complaint is that treasure is scattered everywhere. You spend most of your time searching the same odd looking objects in the enviroment insterad of enjoying the gameplay. It's an odd game, it should have been good but it has so many flaws that you'll either like it or absolutely hate it.

Star Ocean 4 is the other game I got my 360 forStar Ocean and Tales of Vesperia are coming in June if you can wait that long.
I've never played any of the 'Tales of ...' games so maybe I should play one of the older ones first?
So it's a bit like Suikoden V then, pace wise? If the battle system gets really good I guess Lost Odyssey is top of my list.Retr0gamer wrote: »Lost Odyssey is very good but really takes a very long time to get going.

I saw Blue Dragon for €6.95 pre-owned in a few places, I'll play the demo first to see what I think but at that price you're right, you can't really go wrong.I bought Blue Dragon last week pre-owned in Xtravision for €6.95. Haven't played it yet but can't really go wrong with that price!
Oh yeah, Eternal Sonata is on my list but I won't be getting it for a while. I'll be getting it for the PS3 anyways because of the extra content (Including 3 extra compositions by Chopin which is a selling point to me as he's one of my favourite composers). Good call though!No ones mentioned Eternal Sonata? FOR SHAME!!!0 -

No not really. Suikoden V is 4-5 hours of middle of the road seen it before RPG until the big plot development when it's instantly a roller coaster ride of fun. Lost Odyssey on the other hand starts of very slow with one of the worst and most confusing opening cities in an RPG but the story starts to get better little by little and gets very emotional, Jansen who seems to be a badly written and annoying character becomes loveable and funny and the battle system starts to reveal hidden depths when you start using enemies weaknesses and hot swapping equipment rings mid battle to combat them. The battle system ends up rivalling FFX by the end of the game and is very tough and strategic but at the start of the game it feels like a very limited FF battle system. It's very much a slow burner. I lost interest before the end of the first disc but went back to it and got hooked.
