This game did this seamless transitions on the 360 back in 2007 and now people is getting wet with the seamless transitions in Final Fantasy VII remake, lol.
It can't be overstated just how goddamn impressive the transition from cutscene into gameplay was back in 2008(2007 even, in japan). Fuckin' mindblowing at the time.
Yeah, it is until you know the trick. It's something that could probably have been done earlier, since it just applies the battle on-screen display while the end of the movie is still playing, but the CGI video quality is high enough that the transition between video and real-time, which is the camera change at 3:10, isn't so jarring. With later Xbox 360 games, on a single disc, video tended to be more compressed, so you would see more compression artefacts that would give away which is video and which is gameplay just a bit more. That's the thing. Back in the day on the playstation, the FMV tended to be clearer than the real-time stuff. Now it tends to be the other way around, with the real time gameplay being clearer.
Nah, it's still every bit as impressive even if you dissect it. It's a very creative trick. I love when developers find interesting and unique visual tricks to work around weak hardware. It could have been done earlier, yes, but it wasn't.
@@dr.donkey5427 Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Return of the King both did this before Lost Odyssey FYI, albeit with live-action shots from their movies :) This intro was so superb though. That sound effect when the sword breaks always gets me, and the transition to battle was so epic! The last time my jaw dropped before it was the Onimusha 3 intro.
It's 2022 and this game still sits in the back of my mind from time to time. I would give anything to see this remade or remastered. The storytelling, world building, and character growth in this game is pretty much unmatched even to this day. And my god, this cutscene is just insane!
Sold this game once before and I regretted it, but now a replacement sits on my shelf and will never leave my collection until the day I die. I will make sure my children and my childrens children get to know the joy that is lost odyssey...
Still to this day its one of the best opening cutscenes ever, it still sticks in my mind 16 years on! I remember watching this scene as a kid and being blown away, it kind of reminds me of saving prviate ryan in a way because of the tiny carts that they are sent in and the doors just open up and you charge out and get killed. Love this cutscene and loved the game on the 360, I just wish the franchise carried on.
What I loved about this game, is the story, main one and the dream ones. Most of us dream about being immortal, and this game shows the sad part of being immortal. Great game indeed!
No the ad for this game was all over t.v it was just that at the time people were over turn based RPG's..this was the dawn of the Online craze.. and americans weren't about sit still and play a traditional turn based rpg when so much action was to be had in other games.
darkcaptainESP Xenoblade Chronicles said "Hi"! .... But this is without any doubt one of the best jrpg of the last gen!! :D Im glad I bought it last year!!!
+frankieghl Xenoblade Chronicles was amazing! Don't forget The Last Story....and, even though it wasn't popular, in my opinion, The Last Remnant was really good as well. I just wish Lost Odyssey was a bit more faster paced in the battles. It could still be turned based but a bit faster....for me at least. I loved the thousand years of dreams stories though! My favorite part of the game!
A big part of me wished dearly that Mistwalker would continue making JRPGs like this. They don't make em like this anymore. And I wish to God ppl would let the FF tug of war debate end. It ends with Sakaguchi (Excuse my spelling). And if they enjoyed his late work so much. They should have bought this. (Yeah even you all ppl who adore 13)
@@lyhthegreat it was Microsoft's strategy to get into Japan. See how they weren't focus on the content which was a gem they should have been celebrating and kept it going with sequels.
I loved this game, still have the disc. This intro is one of the best I have ever experienced in a JRPG game. Its just a pity it was plagued with technical issues (lag, slow battles, loading, etc).
many years have passed but this is still the craziest and most fantastic battle scene I've every seen. Man, I just wish this game can be released somehow on PS, so I can add it to my trophy collection
I’ve never got to beat this game. My neighbor passed away and left the Xbox for me. I feel like I now got another chance to play this game. This was the first game I thought about.
I played this back in like 2013 and when somebody asks me what’s the most underrated game you’ve ever played it’s this one. Such an awesome storyline although the battles got repetitive at times I would love to play this game again. Fun fact about this game the person who does the voice for Phil and lil from rugrats does the voices for cooke.
This is 2021. After two years, my custom TTRPG with my players being immortals have finally witness the hommage I made to this very opening, with a meteor striking a battlefield in front of their immortal eyes. I had a wide smile on my face the whole time. Still one of my favorites games of all times.
To this day, I don't think any RPG has beaten this intro in the cool factor. Such an underrated game. I just wish square would go back to the traditional turn based game.
If you look closely, you can just BARELY tell when the transition happens. It happens right as the sword swings in front of Kaim's face - you can tell by how his model becomes slightly lighter colored. Extremely hard to tell, but possible!
I thought the awesomeness of Kaim slaughtering everyone was going to carry its momentum and set the tone for how the rest of the game was going to be... boy was I wrong.
The story is about this immortal guy and the mystery behind his immortality and it gets better and better and better i wont spoil it hopefull no one does if you havent played this yet......but you have to be an old school fan of turn based rpg's to enjoy this game..but if you do ......the story is............AMAXING.
God this was the last Sakaguchi game I played on console. (excluding the last story) This game is such an underrated Gem. I really wish Mr Sakaguchi would start making games for consoles again
Great intro. Definitely a lot more brutal final fantasy. I love the graphics and facial animations. I also like the seedless transitions between the cinematics and the actual in game graphics. Combat and music are great too.
I know, seamless. I have no idea when it switches from cgi to in games. For a game this early in the xbox lifecycle it was ahead of its time. I mean max payne on consoles says it has seamless transitions but you can notice the switch by the framerate dropping.
I was devastated when my 360 died and have never had the money to buy a new one. I had just gotten to Disc 4. Q-Q This is the only game that makes me want a new 360. The only game. It makes me want to cry too, because I loved this game so, so much. I've never been one to say I loved a game engine, but for Lost Odyssey, I really loved it. I thought it was amazing, and it wasn't too easy, but wasn't too hard either. A beautiful game with a great storyline to match it.
The reason for that is Lost Odyssey had lots of people who initially worked at square enix and on the original final fantasy games, you know before they became final hallway.
...I KNEW THE FUCKING CLANG SOUND GUT'S SWORD MAKES IN THE 2016 ADAPTION REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING. Same fucking sound from this intro! Also, this has got to be one of the grimmest and most violent openings to a jrpg of all time. Like, most games will aim for a T rating, so themes or the tone may be dark but the violence is bloodless. NAW, this game just has people cut in half, impaled or straight up melted by Lava. Bad ass.
Tanked? Mistwalker are still in business. They released a game for the Wii last year and are currently working on some iOS games. Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were funded and published directly by Microsoft Game Studios, so there was no way they could be released on other formats.
I love the Khent army in this cinematic ;) Feel overwhelmingly bad ass! As for what is with the helmets? I can't say for the Uhran army but as for the Khent army, who are wearing Ghotzan armor, I guess the helmets are for intimidation purposes.
I bought this game in Gamestop hoping that I could go back to the time I enjoyed FF VIII. I've just clocked 3 hours and really love it, one thing I dislike is the character designs, they look a little weird to me.
It's true that this game doesn't give you the typical-looking JRPG characters. I have to say that for LO though the more realistic art-style works better. I can't imagine playing this thought-provoking game with really anime-looking characters. It wouldn't mesh. Anyhow, the art didn't stop me from loving this game. The characters were absolutely endearing.
blapblapblapblap Why you do even bring the Square Enix poop here ? Dont talk about this, dont THINK about this, go play FF VIII or this awesome game that LO is.
Its annoying how fans complained about final fantasy changing too much, then this absolute gem of a game came out and reviews complained it was too old school. I'm trying to do final fantasy 13 after just completing this game and its so hard to keep interested in it when i find this game had the better story and much better music (i even bought the ost lol). Sure it's not perfect and can grind to a halt occasionally but its still down as one of the most thought provoking emotional games ever.
As much as I love being able to play this on Xbox One via BC MAN I wish they gave it an X enhanced patch, Running this in near 4K res would be an absolute marvel!
7:40 So where did that come from again? I think it was like a summon from a volcano like a portal opened up in a volcano and all that just came out into the battlefield lol…I know it’s the end boss that did that with the staff? Can’t remember but it’s been like 15-12 year or so lol
No TB RPG character can kill a tank quite like the True Lord of the Rings: Kaim Argonar. This shows why he is the Toughest Baddest RPG character ever. I mean even his sword has gone Platinum. Granted he cheats death by being immortal but he is still the coolest guy ever in a sword fight.

It's not even about the technical aspect either. Its just so exhilarating and well done and draws you in so effectively. Gives me chills.
almost 10 year later and him dodging those swords in slow motion is still one of the most badass things ive seen
Almost 16 years later and those swords in slow motion were top notch 😀
Almost 18 years, and I can't find a good gif of that shot!
It's 2022 and this game still sits in the back of my mind from time to time. I would give anything to see this remade or remastered. The storytelling, world building, and character growth in this game is pretty much unmatched even to this day.
And my god, this cutscene is just insane!
Man, I agree 100%. Some of the short story's really got me.
Cant tell you how many d&d games Ive run heavily inspired by some of the stuff in here. This scene also sits nestled in my mind cottage
The thing I like about this scene is that it shows that the magic used in game to revive characters can actually be used in the game's world.
I love that this really feels like how you might run a mass battle in a world where you can just revive people with a wave of your hand
And yet they can't just revive Lirum 😓
@@thekosgator7502 couldn't fix that due to bad guy.
Only most of the warriors were dismemebered yet got revived with not even a dent
The tactical value of being able to raise fallen soldiers behind and in the midst of a enemies lines in a foot based ground war would be crazy op
that fucking transition
+Sammy102093 yea at that time it something was almost never seen before..really cool
That feel when you're ready to go full Devil May Cry but realize it's turn based RPG.
Sold this game once before and I regretted it, but now a replacement sits on my shelf and will never leave my collection until the day I die. I will make sure my children and my childrens children get to know the joy that is lost odyssey...
Still one of the most badass intros to a main character in gaming history.
I remember being blown away at the transition from cinematic to battle.
Still to this day its one of the best opening cutscenes ever, it still sticks in my mind 16 years on! I remember watching this scene as a kid and being blown away, it kind of reminds me of saving prviate ryan in a way because of the tiny carts that they are sent in and the doors just open up and you charge out and get killed. Love this cutscene and loved the game on the 360, I just wish the franchise carried on.

You didn't love the soundtrack? That's the only reason why I want to play it
incredible game...cant believe its from 2008, still looks so good to me!
2023 and still the greatest opening and transition to combat of all time.
Finally got the game since I own my first Xbox now (Series X) and WOW, this intro goes so hard. That transition was so good I audibly gasped. 😅
Most underrated Xbox 360 game if you ask me.
Not Under-rated, Just poorly advertised. The people that played it loved it. If more people played it, they would have loved it too! Guaranteed!

Ah, well, I gladly admit that I was wrong. But I still think that if more people played it they would have enjoyed it. :-)
i dont know where you live but there was not a single commercial on tv for this game where i live. heck there are hardly ever commercials for games
Guess we all watch different channels or something.
Gamers who hate RPGs, have never experienced this epic intro. The soundtrack and presentation in this game still amazes me today.
Its crazy how you can forget how much something resonated with you when your younger. What a cool game.

Got say this is one of the most brutal openings to a game that I've ever seen. I'll definately hunt this one down.
***** Gamstop used, 14 dollars.
***** Why?
***** They always work at gamestop,I have been buying used games for years there and they have always worked,no exceptions,maybe because I'm Irish
Kaim in this opening scene vs Samanouske in Onimusha 3 opening scene.. That'd be an intense battle.
Good match! That is also one of the best and more unforgettable opening cutscenes I've ever seen in videogames.
An incredibly scene and an incredible game.

They need to remake this with the new Final Fantasy game engine so that the actual battles are more like the cinematic.
Finally i found it
I second that.
This is the only game i could think of if remade would contend or even surpass FF7 Remake. 2023 Still one of my favorite games.
Could you imagine this as an action rpg? Would it dash at you or use some sort of path displacement.
The game is often quite bright and colourful, but the intro is a lot of muted greys and completely overcast.
