RareAcumen posted:This game is continuing to look really good. I'm worried about if there's a reason that no one has managed to get an LP of it started beforehand on here. We're, what, about five hours in? Finishing the game takes closer to 40. It's highly LP resistant simply because it's long and extremely detail oriented, so it's a drain on any LPer regardless of quality or how much they like it.

To be fair, between sidequests, collectibles, extra dungeons, and the main game itself, this is a looooooooooong game. IIRC we are just about midway through Disc 1 out of 4. Edit: Ninja'd!

that also plays a part yes. Basically it takes a rare LPer to get through a full tilt JRPG like this, and Lost Odyssey is a bit obscure so it hasn't found that LPer yet.

I'm a new guy at this, I'm unpolished and inexperienced, but I can guarantee you this LP will be to completion. It might not have the quality and practiced presentation of the big names of LP, but I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I intend to see it through. I'll do every bonus dungeon and boss as well. I'm not going to 100% every minor sidequest because really who wants to watch that though.

If you decide to do some sidequests offscreen and they aren't that fun, maybe either do a slideshow of the important bits (what the person who gives you the quest says, where you end up going, and what you get for it) at the beginning of a video. Or, hell, just do a few screenshots.

Fake edit: Or if it's stuff you're not doing at all, maybe just summarise it at the end. I haven't played this so don't know how faffy the sidequests are, but if there's no interesting content at all then we don't really need to see it.

Yeah, I'll see how things go down the line. The next episode has one minor sidequest done in a series of short jump cuts since it's fairly mundane, for example. I'll try not to just completely leave stuff out, but I'm not gonna try and 100% everything or we'd be here forever. There is one DLC dungeon and superboss in this game, which I have not purchased, so I'll wait till near the endgame to find out if people are interested enough to warrant getting and doing that as well.

Been looking forward to someone completing this for a long time. It's one of the few 360 RPGs out there that are actually pretty good (in my opinion) and had a lot of good ideas, even though some of them weren't executed well. The way you are doing the LP is very well done and I am liking the interaction between all of you. Hope you guys keep it going

Alright friends, new update time! We've been set free to explore Numara, and that's precisely what we'll do. Join us as we play tag, humor dumb children, defend some flowers, and more! Episode 8: Switzerland - Youtube(Uncut) | Polsy(Uncut) Musical Selections The Capital of Numara Parting Forever And we've got a new Dream as well! This one is a bit different from the others so far. This Dream was found by overhearing the off-duty prison guard in Virno's Tavern discuss how he doesn't understand why the inmates are so rowdy.

This poo poo right here is why I've been asking for an LP of this game for years. Incidentally, in your unedited videos could you up the game volume a little, it's almost inaudible compared to you guys talking.

JT Jag posted:This poo poo right here is why I've been asking for an LP of this game for years. Yeah, sorry I was trying to avoid the game and us just muddling together if we talk at the same time, and we talk often enough that auto-ducking tends to sound spastic. I'll fiddle with it some more and try and find a happy medium. EDIT: I do all the sound editing with headphones on, so maybe try that? I'm listening to it right now with my headphones on and the game sounds pretty reasonably audible even with us. Sgt Thud fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Aug 28, 2015 |

Y'know, this is a total tangent but Kaim has a nifty design on the shirt he wears under his breastplate. Rather appropriate that it seems to have a phoenix design on the sleeve, considering, y'know, he doesn't stay dead. Or ever die in the first place, technically. Actually, does the game ever address what happens when an immortal suffers a lethal injury? I know the KO and getting back up thing is a gameplay thing, but outside of that do the immortals just black out and are basically clinically dead before spontaneously resuscitating on their own? Then again the game so far doesn't seem to want to dwell on the specifics of how immortality works, preferring instead to focus on the psychological effects of being immortal. Which the game does quite well, I might add.

Got another dream for you all to help tide over until the next full episode. This one was found in Virno's Tavern as well, by talking to a man drinking at the bar. A Mother Comes Home - Youtube | Polsy | Transcript RareAcumen posted:This game is amazing. You're now our favorite person for bothering to capture those two moments in shareable form! Slaan posted:Poor Kaim. Is this game seriously going to make me sad every time I watch a video or read a transcript? Nah, honestly the sad stuff is somewhat frontloaded in this game. We'll start getting more chipper or at least more heartwarming stuff soon enough.

Episode 9 - Fond Farewells: Dailymotion(Uncut) | Polsy(Uncut) Musical Selections Gongoras Plot Kaettu Kuru, Kitto (Piano Version) Fake Edit: So Youtube's Content ID copyright thing is convinced the Cut Commentary video has a song called Oceania by Serge Elmalem in it, so unfortunately I had to find a substitute host, which is why you get good ol' Dailymotion.

I want someone to die being awesome and not just a little pathetic. Also I love Kaim getting vindictive~ That's just really beautiful in a way. He should be so pissed that he will go to the end of time making that man suffer. Geez there is so much depth to this game that it's a shame it never really kicked off.

That was a lovely funeral scene. It was definitely a great example of how to integrate minigame instructions with narrative as well. With that said, I don't really think their method of body disposal is that well thought through. Kinda expecting Decaying Corpse Lirum to drift back to shore in a few days, on a bed of rotting flowers. Also, why would a culture that buries its dead at sea go to a forest to remember/speak with them? (I'm sure we'll find out!)

I think it's just that the forest is probably magical and thus has some sort of mind fuckery to make people remember lost loved ones or something like that.

Got a longer update for you guys today as we cover the Crimson Forest and it's various flora and fauna. There's frogs! Me getting caught on geometry again! Cackling balloon goblins! EDIT: Cut Commentary is fixed.  Episode 10: Puberty is Weird - Youtube(Uncut) | Polsy(Uncut) I've also got another dream for you to watch/read.
