Developed by tri-Ace (creators of Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, and so on) and published by Square Enix (of Final Fantasy fame) comes one of those somewhat rare RPG titles that are exclusive to the XBOX 360. I have to admit, I’ve actually been looking forward to this for quite some time (it’s one of the reasons I ended up getting a 360 before a PS3), and a really do hope that it lives up to its promises… else I shall be very annoyed.
The storyline of the game focuses largely on a young man named Capel, who is mistaken for a rebel hero and imprisoned, only to be drawn into the fight against the wicked Order of Chains.
At the core of this title is the “situational” nature of the game in which every choice and battle permanently changes the in-game world in some way. Battles are in real-time (think Radiata Stories, rather than Final Fantasy XII), and you can control a party of up to 4 people (with a choice between 18 playable characters). There are also day to night transitions during play that can work both for and against the player.

College’ll do that to you. I never really completely stopped playing RPGs during college, I just played them a lot less frequently. I picked them up again after I graduated, though. I’m too big a Final Fantasy and Zelda freak to ever drop them all together.

I used to be an enormous RPG nut, but ever since I started college I’ve noticed I have virtually no time or real inclination to play single player games anymore.
Poor Lost Odyssey is still sitting around waiting to be opened.
