Lost Odyssey (2007)

by Feelplus, Mistwalker, Microsoft Game Studios
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Turn-based strategy (TBS)
Themes:Open world
Game modes:Single player
Story:Lost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Show more

Unfortunately, a game now nearly forgotten and stuck on the Xbox 360. Though well received on release, it was held back, at the time, by the hardware limitations of the 360, and is now at risk of being lost to history. With a story that has hints of Final Fantasy 7 and Planescape Torment, an interesting combat and leveling system that pulls together some of the best from other JRPG, an interesting cast of characters, impressive graphics for its day, and music by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, this is a game that deserves to be preserved.
Literally this is the "Lost" Final Fnatasy trapped in 360. This game rperesents a fresh and spectacular reset for the FF original Team. The carachters have differents growth mechanics because of their nature, they need each other to get stronger. The turn based battles have semi active mechanics in order to do more damage; the difficulty level is challenging and the narrative is complex and uses different techniques to tell its story. This game must to be experience this Magnificent Beast

Easily as good as most Final Fantasy titles, with one of the greatest soundtracks as well. I've kept my Xbox 360 for years with only this game. A thousand years of dreams never fails to bring the feels and these characters have stayed with me for almost 20 years. Having this on GOG would be a godsend to all of us who want to replay it and those who never got a chance to play it!

The true Final Fantasy 13. A game that released on the Xbox 360 has remained trapped on this console and needs a PC port to receive a wider audience because this is a great RPG game by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and composed by the g.o.a.t himself Nobuo Uematsu. I'm sure others can provide information on what this game offers I will talk about other information. Since Square Enix announced they would help bring Mistwalkers Fantasian game over to the PC this was an opportunity to ask Sakaguchi about this title over to the PC or any other console. Unfortunately he said he had no interest. We don't know if Square Enix is aware how much this game is wanted by a vocal minority like myself to come over to the PC and other consoles. This is our chance to list this game to come over on gog or even bring awareness to Square Enix and Mistwalker to bring this game over to the PC and other consoles. Please vote for this game as well as Mistwalkers other games.

This is one of my favorites from the 360 era. The story grabs you and takes you on a Rollercoaster of emotions. Being stuck on only one system is truly tragic and a pc port is very needed

This is truly one of the stellar gems of the Xbox 360. The gameplay is all too familiar to anyone that is a fan of the old-school Final Fantasy games. The developers are known as Mistwalker Studios, Who also created the Blue Dragon series As well as other mobile JRPG's. What's most interesting though? It was founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi. The creator of the Final Fantasy series. Many old-school Final Fantasy fans Say that this is the last great Final Fantasy game, despite not even being a part of the series. With Nobou Uematsu Composing the music for this amazing game, You could name this one Final Fantasy And it would fit right at home. Combat is standard turn based With an interesting twist, There is a ring system Where upon Selecting an attack, A literal ring will appear on the screen, prompting the player to stop the ring just in time to land on a specific target on the screen Allowing the player to do more damage than normal. These rings are also how you Improve certain stats and gain certain status effects for your weapons. In addition, you have accessories that you can clip onto your party That will teach them certain abilities that you improve by gaining what's called ability points, or AP. Now for the best part, You play as immortals in this game that have lived for thousands of years and now have to uncover the dark secret of your past in order to save the world that you live in. Certain members of your party are not immortals, And only have a static number of abilities that they can learn however the members of your parties that are immortals Learn all of their abilities from your non-immortal companions. Thus allowing an amazing amount of customization. The opening is single-handedly the greatest opening to any video game I've ever seen in my life. I refuse to spoil it. Please go check it out for yourself if you can. Lastly many stories play out in text form called 1000 years of Dreams And has some of the best storytelling of all time.

Truly a game that deserves to get recognition and love to this day, an unforgettable cast of characters and a story that I cherished even at 4 years old watching my brother play. I would love to be able to relive this game and play it for myself one day.
I haven't stopped thinking about this game since the first time I played it. The way certain characters learned and managed their skills felt so unique, the mechanic of a front line defending a back row was easy to grasp, and timed input attacks in turn-based combat is always welcome. It's funny that after playing FF8 you notice how similar those two games are in small ways. Also it's great to have a game from this era use the "amnesia" trope to actually do something interesting and emotionally impactful through the game and not just use it as the setup for a single twist reveal. Mistwalker feels like it's been getting the short end of history for a long time and no one is seeing how good they've been.
Those games also need your vote!
Phantasy Star Collection
Phantasy Star CollectionPhantasy Star Collection is a compilation of Phantasy Star games that was released on the Game Boy Advance on November 26, 2002 in the United States and in March 2003 in Europe. This version, produced by Digital Eclipse, altered the classic titles in order to function within the Game Boy Advance's resolution. Strangely, the bundle omitted the fan-favorite Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium from its selection of games, only offering Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II, and Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom.

Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star IIGameplay is similar to the original Phantasy Star, the first game in the series. Its battle system is turn-based, allowing the player to choose commands for their party of up to four characters. Each of the eight characters has a different set of preferred weapons and armor, as well as techniques, suited to the character's job. The player must defeat enemies in the overworld and in dungeons to advance in the game. The game abandoned the first-person view that the first game used for dungeons and battles. Phantasy Star II instead uses a top-down perspective for exploration and a third-person view in battles.

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht
Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears. The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts. Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.
