Themes:Open world
Game modes:Single player
Story:Lost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Show more

Unfortunately, a game now nearly forgotten and stuck on the Xbox 360. Though well received on release, it was held back, at the time, by the hardware limitations of the 360, and is now at risk of being lost to history. With a story that has hints of Final Fantasy 7 and Planescape Torment, an interesting combat and leveling system that pulls together some of the best from other JRPG, an interesting cast of characters, impressive graphics for its day, and music by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, this is a game that deserves to be preserved.
Literally this is the "Lost" Final Fnatasy trapped in 360. This game rperesents a fresh and spectacular reset for the FF original Team. The carachters have differents growth mechanics because of their nature, they need each other to get stronger. The turn based battles have semi active mechanics in order to do more damage; the difficulty level is challenging and the narrative is complex and uses different techniques to tell its story. This game must to be experience this Magnificent Beast

Easily as good as most Final Fantasy titles, with one of the greatest soundtracks as well. I've kept my Xbox 360 for years with only this game. A thousand years of dreams never fails to bring the feels and these characters have stayed with me for almost 20 years. Having this on GOG would be a godsend to all of us who want to replay it and those who never got a chance to play it!

The true Final Fantasy 13. A game that released on the Xbox 360 has remained trapped on this console and needs a PC port to receive a wider audience because this is a great RPG game by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and composed by the g.o.a.t himself Nobuo Uematsu. I'm sure others can provide information on what this game offers I will talk about other information. Since Square Enix announced they would help bring Mistwalkers Fantasian game over to the PC this was an opportunity to ask Sakaguchi about this title over to the PC or any other console. Unfortunately he said he had no interest. We don't know if Square Enix is aware how much this game is wanted by a vocal minority like myself to come over to the PC and other consoles. This is our chance to list this game to come over on gog or even bring awareness to Square Enix and Mistwalker to bring this game over to the PC and other consoles. Please vote for this game as well as Mistwalkers other games.

This is one of my favorites from the 360 era. The story grabs you and takes you on a Rollercoaster of emotions. Being stuck on only one system is truly tragic and a pc port is very needed

Truly a game that deserves to get recognition and love to this day, an unforgettable cast of characters and a story that I cherished even at 4 years old watching my brother play. I would love to be able to relive this game and play it for myself one day.
I haven't stopped thinking about this game since the first time I played it. The way certain characters learned and managed their skills felt so unique, the mechanic of a front line defending a back row was easy to grasp, and timed input attacks in turn-based combat is always welcome. It's funny that after playing FF8 you notice how similar those two games are in small ways. Also it's great to have a game from this era use the "amnesia" trope to actually do something interesting and emotionally impactful through the game and not just use it as the setup for a single twist reveal. Mistwalker feels like it's been getting the short end of history for a long time and no one is seeing how good they've been.

This is truly one of the stellar gems of the Xbox 360. The gameplay is all too familiar to anyone that is a fan of the old-school Final Fantasy games. The developers are known as Mistwalker Studios, Who also created the Blue Dragon series As well as other mobile JRPG's. What's most interesting though? It was founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi. The creator of the Final Fantasy series. Many old-school Final Fantasy fans Say that this is the last great Final Fantasy game, despite not even being a part of the series. With Nobou Uematsu Composing the music for this amazing game, You could name this one Final Fantasy And it would fit right at home. Combat is standard turn based With an interesting twist, There is a ring system Where upon Selecting an attack, A literal ring will appear on the screen, prompting the player to stop the ring just in time to land on a specific target on the screen Allowing the player to do more damage than normal. These rings are also how you Improve certain stats and gain certain status effects for your weapons. In addition, you have accessories that you can clip onto your party That will teach them certain abilities that you improve by gaining what's called ability points, or AP. Now for the best part, You play as immortals in this game that have lived for thousands of years and now have to uncover the dark secret of your past in order to save the world that you live in. Certain members of your party are not immortals, And only have a static number of abilities that they can learn however the members of your parties that are immortals Learn all of their abilities from your non-immortal companions. Thus allowing an amazing amount of customization. The opening is single-handedly the greatest opening to any video game I've ever seen in my life. I refuse to spoil it. Please go check it out for yourself if you can. Lastly many stories play out in text form called 1000 years of Dreams And has some of the best storytelling of all time.
Those games also need your vote!
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy IIFinal Fantasy II is the second installment in the Final Fantasy series, developed and published by Squaresoft. It was directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, with Yoshitaka Amano designing the characters and Nobuo Uematsu composing the score. It was notable for being one of the first story-intensive RPGs released for console systems, and introducing many series staples, including chocobos and a character named Cid. Its story is unrelated to the original FINAL FANTASY, and its gameplay is a major departure from the previous title for eliminating the traditional experience-based progression system.

Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IIIIn 2006, Final Fantasy III reached North American shores in an official update/remake. The gameplay of Final Fantasy III combines elements of the first two Final Fantasy games with new features. The turn-based combat system remains in place from the first two games, but hit points are now shown above the target following attacks or healing actions, rather than captioned as in the previous two games. Auto-targeting for physical attacks after a friendly or enemy unit is killed is also featured for the first time. Unlike subsequent games in the series, magical attacks are not auto-targeted in the same fashion. The experience point system featured in Final Fantasy makes a return following its absence from Final Fantasy II. The character class system featured in the first game also reappears, with some modifications. Whereas in the original game the player chooses each character's class alignment at the start of the game and is then locked into that class for the duration of the game, Final Fantasy III introduces the "job system" for which the series would later become famous. Jobs are presented as interchangeable classes: in the Famicom version of the game, all four characters begin as "Onion Knights", with a variety of additional jobs becoming available as the game progresses. Any playable character has access to every currently available job and can change from job to job at will. Switching jobs consumes "capacity points" which are awarded to the entire party following every battle, much like gil. Different weapons, armor and accessories, and magic spells are utilized by each job. A character's level of proficiency at a particular job increases the longer the character remains with that job. Higher job levels increase the battle statistics of the character and reduce the cost in capacity points to switch to that job. Final Fantasy III is the first game in the series to feature special battle commands such as "Steal" or "Jump", each of which is associated with a particular job ("Steal" is the Thief's specialty, whilst "Jump" is the Dragoon's forte). Certain jobs also feature innate, non-battle abilities, such as the Thief's ability to open passages that would otherwise require a special key item. Final Fantasy III is also the first game in the series to feature summoned creatures, which are called forth with the "Summon" skill.

Final Fantasy XI Online
Final Fantasy XI OnlineFinal Fantasy XI Online is the franchise's first MMORPG as well as the eleventh installment in the main series. FFXI was the world's first cross-console MMORPG, available for Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Steam. Since its release in 2002, it has become the most financially successful title in the Final Fantasy series. Due to the nature of online RPGs, FFXI differs in that the player is not the only hero. Instead, each player creates a customizable character and adventures through the world of Vana'diel with other players; leveling up, exploring, completing missions, quests, and much more. Leveling up requires a group of people working together in what is called a Party, with each participant contributing their own skills to help take down a foe and gain Experience points. Battles occur in real-time, taking the ATB system to a new level, which was emulated again to a certain extent in Final Fantasy XII.
