Lost odyssey installation

As they reach Grand Staff they realize that they have been told the bare minimum, and decide to venture further to find out more Gameplay Battle System Lost Odyssey uses a turned based battle screen system which is almost identical to Blue Dragon , and very similar to that used in the Final Fantasy franchise and in other traditional Japaneses RPG's.

When in the battle screen the player should pay attention to the length of time it will take to act. Simple attacks will happen quickly whereas spells especially more advanced spells can take more than a single turn to act out.

The time it takes to prepare an attack can also be hindered by other attacks. When executing melee attacks a "ring meter" will appear, by holding down the right trigger for a certain amount of time attacks can end up being more powerful if hit at the exact right time the player can score a "perfect" as opposed to the wrong time where a "bad" will be granted. In the battle screen players are arranged into a front and back row.

The back row are protected by a special "wall" which is defined by the HP of characters in the front row. As the front row takes damage the wall meter depletes thus making the back row more easily damaged. This system applies to both the player's party and the enemy party.

These can be changed during battle. Immortal characters will auto-revive after a few turns if their HP is reduced to zero. The game ends if the whole party is downed. Skill Linking The two types of character play an important role in gameplay mechanics. If a character is mortal then they will gain skills by leveling up and also through equipping accessories. Immortal characters on the other hand can learn the skills that mortal characters learn by "linking" themselves together.

The skills gained from equipping accessories are also learned by immortals whereas a mortal player will lose a skill when the accessories is unequipped. Skills learned through skill linking and accessories can be assigned to 'Skill Slots'. Skill Slots are only present in immortal characters. At the beginning of the game only a few skill slots are available but as the game progresses more become available by using 'Slot Seeds' which you find throughout the world. Some accessories also grant more skill slots.

Magic Magic is is divided into 8 levels becoming progressively more powerful as new magic levels are learned or obtained. Magic is broken up into four classes: 1. Black : Mainly elemental attacks or attacks with negative status effects. White : Used mainly for protection and healing.

Spirit: Alters power, speed and other attributes. Composite: Can combine spells and hit multiple targets New Game Plus Once the game has been completed a first time players have the option to start a new game using New Game Plus. All immortal characters will begin at level 50 while mortal characters will begin at normal level. All items and skills from previous saved games are not available and have to be obtained again. A Thousand Years of Dreams Lost Odyssey introduces a new feature called "A Thousand Years of Dreams" which introduces the player to several episodes or dreams of the lives of Kaim and some of his immortal companions throughout the years period preceding the main story of the game.

These dream sequences are triggered by events happening in the actual gameplay such as Kaim talking to a person that reminds him of someone he met in the past and are narrated by means of an "enriched novel", that is, a short series of properly animated text pages accompanied by suitable music and sound effects as well as moving backgrounds and images.

Dream Sequence Trigger "A thousand years of dreams" is penned by Japanese novelist Kiyoshi Shigematsu , known for his highly emotional, yet realistic, stories. In the 34 short episodes that conform "A thousand years of dreams", Shigematsu captures the loneliness and drama of the life of a man who cannot die, but that certainly carries death with him, as he is both witness and part of the births and deaths of many people he loves.

The stories of "A thousand years of dreams" opens up with many stories of sadness and injustice, but also of peace, love and hope. In the end, it aims to be a very moving experience that complements the main story arc of the game to show the player a wider and more extensive picture of the main characters' long life, and his experiences throughout it.

Disc one is 5. Lost Odyssey's lowest score was from Gamespy giving it an unfavorable score of 2. I would think that it would know all the information is on the HDD and would continue playing without any interruption. I understand you need the disc, but can I just keep the 1st disc in for all discs installed, or do I need disc two in for disc two, etc.? You always need the respective disc to play the sections of the game; I've installed all 4 and nothing changes from that.

Not sure if there is any truth to this though, someone should try it. Mellerker 13 years ago 9. Can I install the first disc in my hard drive if I have enough room for all four disc?
