Lost Odyssey - The game to watch out for in 2008

Lost Odyssey is the latest Japanese RPG coming to the Xbox360. You play a man callled Kaim, who have lived for 1000 years. Basically he has eternal life or some sort. The game's story revolves around the many generations of which Kaim is a part, his loves and losses and conflicts.

The development of the game sees a gathering of famous Japanese developers. An all star team really. You have Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy) as game producer, Kiyoshi Shigematsu (award-winning Japanese novelist) doing the story, Takehiko Inoue (famous comic book artist, creator of Slam Dunk !) doing character design and Nobuo Uematsu (the veteran Final Fantasy music composer) doing his magic with the music.

With all the big names in the industry, you can see how hard Xbox is trying to getting a foothold on the Japanese market with these RPGs.

Lost Odyssey has already been released in Japan. While release days for North America is February 12, 2008 and Europe is February 29, 2008.
