Lost Odyssey

The primary focus is this video:



Characters designed by Takehiko Inoue (the comic Vagabond)

Music by Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy)

Scenario by Hironobu Sakaguchi (Creator of Final Fantasy)

Story by Kiyoshi Shigematsu, author of novels that get turned into movies with movie posters like this:

So, Hironobu Sakaguchi says, "So, Kiyoshi Shigematsu is a very famous writer in Japan, and writes short stories that have special human touch elements in them. And those are the things we haven't seen in games, and those elements haven't really fit into games, but I wanted to put that kind of element into the storyline."

"The reason I've used Kiyoshi Shigematsu as part of this project is because we don't see enough emotion in videogames yet. Whether to do with family, or some other emotional elements - something that bring tears to your eyes. The main element in these games is often fighting or whatever, but I want these emotional elements. I think the main character, who has been living for a thousand years and can't die - he has a thousand years of memories"

This text I found somewhere. "The upcoming plot-heavy RPG will feature several "1000 Year Dream" sequences, 34 to be precise, each designed to flesh out the narrative penned by Japanese author Kiyoshi Shigematsu; and each told not through cut scenes, but rather with text, taking upwards of 5 to 10 minutes to read."
