This game is currently consuming most of my time aside from college. Hironobu Sakaguchi's latest work of art is the story of a man who has has lived for 1,000 years under the "curse" of immortality. The story was penned by famous Japanese novelist, Kiyoshi Shigematsu. While I am playing the North American version, I can't help but admire the subtle beauty of the Japanese cover art. In this piece by Takehiko Inoue, through Kaim's eyes you can truly see the many burdens and sorrows of a man who has lived through a 1,000 lifetimes of endless wandering. I'll give my full review once I've completed this 4-disc epic.

I am currently nearing the end of the second disk of Lost Odyssey. This game, which is less of a game and more a work-of-art, is absolutely fantastic! Everything, from the character design and artwork, to the cinematic storytelling is incredible. I have not experienced such an emotional RPG in quite some time, many years in fact. The gameplay itself is very traditional, much like early Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest/Warrior games. Mistwalker is fairly new company, headed by the original Final Fantasy mastermind. If this game is any testament to Mistwalker's capabilities, then I look forward to seeing more of their outstanding potential. Enjoy the odyssey!
