Kaim is a lonely being and a man struggling to remember thanks to unknowingly having had a negative magic energy cast upon him from the power hungry Gongora in a bid to repress his memories. In this epic tale, you play the role of Kaim, an immortal soldier who walks away from a devastating battle in the Highlands of Wohl after a meteor wipes out the majority of the forces in battle from the nations of Uhra and Khent. With the magic energy becoming so powerful, two nations have used its progress to develop new weapons of mass destruction, and now the kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra have become a fearsome prospect. For a long time only a select few could harness this magic directly, however many now hold the ability to utilise it. Via the use of machines called Magic Engines, the energy can be harvested for lighting, vehicles, robots and all manner of communication amongst its many uses. Magic energy has always been an important substance within the world, but in the thirty years before the game begins, it has become much stronger and now affects society greatly. The story of Lost Odyssey is set in a world in which a magic-industrial revolution is taking place. And that’s not to mention the visuals were fantastic and continue to age well even today. Plenty of classic RPG mechanics were included, particularly random encounters, a world map, character levelling and party management amongst others which require a vast amount of time and planning if you’re to make it to the end of the lengthy adventure. Developed by Mistwalker – the team behind the fabulous Blue Dragon that arrived just a year before – and coming from the mind of famed Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Lost Odyssey released to critical acclaim.Īs you would probably expect with the Sakaguchi name behind it, the game is very much a classic Japanese RPG adventure in the truest sense of the term, with gameplay focused around the storytelling and vast amounts of traditional turn-based combat. Lost Odyssey originally released exclusively in Japan under the name Rosuto Odessei, before arriving in Australia, North America and Europe throughout February of 2008 under the Lost Odyssey name. Oh how times have changed! As for gaming, well, Lost Odyssey’s release was joined by the classic RPG adventure Dark Messiah of Might and Magic on console. Those following the football were witness to Fernando Torres running rampant for Liverpool and Portsmouth still struggling around in the Premier League. During the week of its release on these shores we saw Disney pushing out both Miley Cyrus and her Hannah Montana persona to their innocent viewers – something you’d never see these days – whilst the music scene had Michael Jackson’s Thriller 25 album selling by the hundreds of thousands.
