Play Overview
Lost Odyssey (2008) is a role-play game set in a fantasy world on the eve of an industrial revolution, where immortal heroes work to recover their lost memory. You explore the world, find other immortals to take on battle encounters to save the world. It stands out not only for the grand doom saga, but the relationships you develop between the heroes facing the pain of what they've forgotten.
The game is similar to other Japanese role-play games like Final Fantasy, with turn-based battles, the building of a party and outlandish enemies. In this way, you set out on a classic quest to defeat evil. However, this game takes the play into deeper inter-personal moments through the Thousand Years of Dreams vignettes. This enriches the narrative with surprisingly mature writing that explores the sorrow, beauty, and burden of immortality through Kaim and his companions.
As you progress, you learn to build a party and conquer the combat. This is turn-based but powered by a skill-learning system and a ring-crafting mechanic that rewards strategic play. You need to be creative with the make-up of your party, as the immortal heroes learn abilities from human allies.
The result is something of a lost (and often overlooked) gem. It might appear to be any old JRPG, but Lost Odyssey stands out for its emotional depth and vulnerable moments of memory, loss, and what it means to be human.
