Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.620
Given that there's no pc equivalent of this game aside from emulation, this game being on GOG would be the perfect place, let alone all of the other Vanillaware games.
I went through a very difficult and painful time during my teenage years. In the midst of all the turmoil caused by family problems, video games became a refuge—a source of comfort and stability. And Odin Sphere was a constant presence during that period.
Its vibrant colors, unforgettable soundtrack, and charismatic characters captivated me then, and they still move me to this day. It was my first experience with Vanillaware, and that spark of admiration has never faded. There’s a soul in Odin Sphere—something rare, something you don’t easily find in games, regardless of genre or platform.
I truly wish more people could feel what Odin Sphere evokes. To laugh at its moments of comic relief, to be shaken by its plot twists, to feel that ache in your chest when hidden truths come to light, and to fall in love—again and again—with its rich, fantastical world and everything within it.
But as the industry marches forward, evolving rapidly in both technology and trends, I fear that this beautiful game may one day be forgotten—erased from memory. And that would be a tragic loss. Preserving Odin Sphere means preserving a piece of art, a piece of someone’s life, and a story that still has the power to touch hearts and inspire souls.
Lost OdysseyLost 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.Trending Open world

Star Ocean: First DepartureStar Ocean games are known for their real-time battle engines, and, for being one of the first of its kind to come to the consoles. Battles take place on a separate screen, but all characters (rather than waiting in one spot and taking damage) are fully mobile in three dimensions, can dodge and chase foes, and must cast their spells and deploy attacks despite enemy harassment. In the earlier games, magicians had spells, whereas fighters had special physical attacks called "Killer Moves"; both are learned after passing certain level requirements (or through specific items and sidequests) and cost HP or MP to use. In Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, all the characters are able to use spells and battle skills (i.e. killer moves).
