Today is the release date for the US version of Lost Odyssey, although it is the shipping date so you might want to wait another day before it hit the retails all across the states. Be sure to pick up a copy when it's available !

Just finished the 3rd disc walkthrough of Lost Odyssey today. I hope i can finish the game before the US version is out, but im not promising anything at the moment !

Also, i just got my copy of Lost Odyssey OST in the mail today, sweet. You can purchase it from Play-Asia or CD Japan if you want. I uploaded the full version of Lost Odyssey Main Theme to the OST/Track Listing section so be sure to check it out, it's pretty damn wicked.

While Mystwalker is being its typical shy self with new info on Lost Odyssey, a few bits did slip out in the latest issue of Famitsu.

As part of a special look at what's in the works for the Xbox 360, the magazine asked Lost Odyssey producer and Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi for an update on the game. According to Sakaguchi, the game's packaging and background music are complete. Currently, the development team over at Feel Plus is adjusting the "wall system" and other gameplay systems.

Sakaguchi promises new information in the near future. We're not sure when that will be, but the game is still due out for 2007 release, so we'll hopefully hear something at E3.

Mistwalker's first Xbox 360 RPG hasn't even hit American shores yet, but interest for its second effort, Lost Odyssey, is starting to swell across the seas in Japan. A recent issue of Famitsu had an update on the status of Mistwalker's upcoming RPG provided by Hironobu Sakaguchi himself. A Microsoft representative confirmed to IGN that the game is now 70% complete and provided us with a translated transcription of the article.

According to the Famitsu article, Sakaguchi commented that the overaching theme in Lost Odyssey is "humanity" and the music is being composed to reflect inner emotions. The music director Nobuo Uematsu is nearly done with the music and it will be a big change in style from Mistwalker's first Xbox 360 RPG, Blue Dragon.

He also went on to say that the latest build of Lost Odyssey is far enough along that the team has gone into the balancing and tuning portion of development. The load times are being reduced so that they are becoming less noticeable as well.

Sakaguchi also confirmed in the article that Lost Odyssey will have a fixed camera system, though it will move to provide realism through "camera vibration and focus effects."

Perhaps the most interesting part of Sakaguchi's comments centered on the battle system. According to the article, Lost Odyssey will employ a wall system which will require players to ensure that the front guards protect the rear. Enemies will use these formations as well and Mistwalker plans to add an "analog trigger system for physical attacks" to breech the walls.

In an in-depth Q&A session at the end of the article, Sakaguchi explained that magical attacks in Lost Odyssey are much more powerful than physical attacks, so sorcerers will have to be protected with the front line while they do their thing. He went on to hint that acquired skills will be needed to equip accessories and that the obtainable skills will vary between mortals and immortals in the game. He then told readers that item synthesis will work through combining items infused with magical power along with a basic weapon.

Sakaguchi finished his comments by saying that the team is working "full-power" on Lost Odyssey, so expect new details to surface shortly.
