Is it badly acted? Yes.
Is it a bit melodramatic? Yes.

But I have to say, this is quite upsetting. And not only because those kids have seriously annoying voices.

Do not click if you want a huge spoiler for Lost Odyssey

FYI, some background: Kaim's got amnesia, he's immortal and stays in his prime, and is 1000 years old give or take. So was Sarah and Seth. That should explain the scene for those not really following Lost Odyssey but just clicked here anyway.

Spoiler: Some things to consider after you've watched the video

Every game has its faults, some are liked more than others. Some immortal things are indeed things to ponder upon. But there immortal, they have amnesia, he forgot at the time he cant die and secretly he hated her. Just my random comment for this. I get it tommrow!

^ ROFL! I'm not sure how the amnesia thing goes. I think it was selective memory erasure by Gongora (the bad guy, which isn't a spoiler because, they say it straight off, sorta).

Spoiler: For example...

Either that, or he can't...swim. Hmm...

PS: Congrats on getting it!

The scary thing? Those clothes were apparently tucked away somewhere till the very end...

...and btw, they look hideous up close. I mean, seriously, it's worse than the shirt from Seinfeld!

Simply the fact that Kaim's confirmed to actually have been with a woman? That pretty much puts him one-up on ALL those other dudes (Squall took the entire game to just reach First Base!)

Riona wanted squall because she heard squall had a big sword. Well she heard right, just not quite what she thought, so she wanted his gil. Clouds so confused he might have done it but cant remeber, (hell he cant remeber if he rent into Tifas room for christ sake! and sephiroth is to much of a mommas boy to get a girl. (im gonna rule the world cause my mommy said so!) wow off topic a bit. I like how everyone in lost odyssey isnt a virgin (minus the kids) it brings more life to the characters.

Actually, you forgot Tolten. And it's pretty obvious he is TOTALLY a virgin. Naturally, he's the character I like the least out of all them (yes, including the kids). The only thing going for him is that he has super shiny armor...that he apparently never takes off. In fact, Tolten, Kaim, and Seth all never take off their armor, even when sleeping.

Now that's just ew for the reek of it.

...then again Squall, Cloud and Sephiroth stayed in their suffocating leather pants mostly throughout, so I guess it's just as bad.

And then again, Squall occasionally changed clothes, and Cloud wore a dress, and Sephiroth takes his shirt off (FOR NO APPARENT REASON. Except for the fangirls. Or possibly to confuse Cloud, I don't know). This is all better (yes, even the dress is better) than that thing that Kaim calls his dress-shirt. Seriously, I think Sarah picked it out for him without wearing her glasses; that's the only explanation for it!

...we are really off-topic now XD

well you did create the thread, so it doesnt matter unless it matters to u. Me personally, im enjoying this! XD

Tolten doesnt matter cause he's like king aruthers gay son no one remebers. Ahh but i love his momma reaction. " MAAMAA???? " saying it like he never seen a child (or in this case a old child) and his mom before.

And im telling u, she got the shirt for kaim at walmart clearance, or goodwill, scretly they were poor at one time (they couldnt afford there kid so they let her fall off that cliff)

Lucky you ^__^

Well, have fun! Though I know, those load times are killer, but it shouldn't be that much of a problem...

Btw, I'm in this online quiz contest that they organized for Lost Odyssey in Singapore (had to ask my friend in the US who can read Japanese to help me with it!). So far, I've just won a limited edition LO 1GB Thumbdrive ^______^

The grand prize is a $2500 cash and goods prize for 'fulfilling your dreams', which means whoever wins gets to choose how the entire $2500 is spent! It's a really great contest (too bad that the US doesn't seem to have it at all T_T)

Edit: Shocking spoiler NUMBER 2! Now the family that-hates-children-and-puts-them-into-immediate danger is complete!
PS: (For the 1st video) Drag the slider to about 8:50 or so for the video to skip the battle scene and to go straight to the cutscene.

Now this is depressing...
...buuuut, this is saccharine sappy with sugar and honey on top @_@

The second video is really, really, really dragged out. Seriously, I'm an old-fashioned romantic, but there's only so much repetitions of the word 'love' that I can take!

PS: Personally, I think the 'lullaby' (which it isn't, because it's so freaking long!) is actually pretty good. The lyrics and tune are sweet and catchy, and if they didn't have those kids sing it, or made a rendition of the song sung properly, it would actually be really good. Definitely better than "You touch me~" for one.

Spoiler: Yet more things to consider after watching those two videos

^ AH! So sorry about that! Now that you have the game, I guess I'll have to stop posting =/

Btw, remember the horrible shirt? Well, I forgot about his other shirt, you know, the PINK TUXEDO.

And no, that isn't a joke.

PS: I re-watched the scene that I said was sappy while listening to the Japanese version of the song they sing. It was actually THAT much more moving that I started choking up and felt my eyes water.
