A classically designed JRPG from the original mind behind the FF series with art by one of my favorite mangaka (Takehiko Inoue), Lost Odyssey is a great game for lovers of old school RPGS though I do believe fans hyping up the writing lean heavily on the flashback memories the player can read as they go further along in the game which are almost all genuinely fantastic writing for a videogame but the ACTUAL present time story is written pretty standardly, not horrible but not spectacular either. Also, dub Jansen is #1.
