Lost Odyssey is now Xbox One backwards compatible

4.4

Lost Odyssey, a fan-favorite RPG from the creator of Final Fantasy, is now Xbox One backwards compatible.

Microsoft had made great strides in providing backwards compatibility for classic games lately, and today is no exception. Now JRPG fans can get excited to see a unique gem reach modern consoles – Lost Odyssey, the 2008 game designed by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Lost Odyssey follows Kaim, an amnesiac immortal trying to regain his memories while combating threats generated by a worldwide magical-industrial revolution. At the time, the game was recognized for blending traditional turn-based combat systems with a visual novel narrative design. While the end result was mixed, Lost Odyssey still gained popular acclaim for its writing and emotionally-charged storytelling.

Microsoft also introduced Toy Story 3 and and Guwange as backwards compatible today, but I suspect Lost Odyssey is the game that will really hit everyone’s nostalgia button today.

I've heard of it but never really tried it out. Might be worth checking out now since it's backwards compatible.

Haven't heard of this but great new multi disk games are working fine

For everyone hating that this game got the treatment before others, you don't realize it's a four disc game that works flawlessly on the new BC system. This is huge news for other multi disc games, are they are confirmed to be working.

Glad to see they've added yet another game I've never heard of

The way this is going, in the next 10 years I predict that consoles will be done. this is a step in that direction. With every game available on a stream service.

There basically wasting time, why add games that nobody knows / likes? Add the good games first then the bad ones...

Toy Story 3 is backwards compatible too? Oh shit, there's a string in my boot.

I have never heard of this game so the chances are I'm not going to check it out, It doesn't look like it would be a game I would play anyway.

This game was released in 2008 and probably hasn't been talked about since, it would be nice if they would try to get the games off of their requests list first.
