| |
| ''Lost Odyssey's'' story is penned by the award-winning Japanese novelist, [[Kiyoshi Shigematsu]] who worked directly with the game's producer [[Hironobu Sakaguchi]] on the tales from Kaim's past that will be strewn throughout the game. Heading up the artistic demands of the title is famed Japanese [[mangaka]], [[Takehiko Inoue]], while famed composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]] has been recruited to create a more contemporary soundtrack. Mistwalker is developing the title, with cooperation with a studio named ''Feel Plus'', a subsidiary of Microsoft created specifically to aid Mistwalker. Feel Plus is made up of around 40 former Nautilus/[[Sacnoth]] developers, most famous for the cult favorite [[Shadow Hearts]] RPG series. (Sacnoth was officially announced as being dissolved in 2007.) <ref>[http://www.destructoid.com/shadow-hearts-team-is-behind-lost-odyssey-they-kept-this-quiet-why--57907.phtml Shadow Hearts team is behind Lost Odyssey: They kept this quiet, why? :: DESTRUCTOID - Hardcore Gamer Community :: Video Games PC PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 Wii PS3 GameCube PSP DS GBA PS2 PlayStation 3<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Former [[Square Co.|Square]] employees at [[Microsoft]] are also involved. The game ships on four dual layer DVDs, more than any Xbox 360 game to date.

| An issue regarding the packaging has led to several complaints from consumers. Since the game could not fit onto a standard DVD, it requires four discs. In Japan and Australia, the solution was to use an oversized case with two disc trays to store the discs. In the United States and PAL territories, however, the first three discs were crammed onto a single 3-disc spindle inside the main game case. The fourth disc came packaged only in a paper sleeve. The concern is that the method used for the American and European versions could result in scratched discs.<ref>{{cite news|title=Lost Odyssey Case Complaints Arise|url=http://gamefreaks365.com/newsarticle.php?sid=2632|accessdate=2008-02-14}}</ref>

| The story begins with an immortal man named Kaim, in a decisive battle between the Magic Republic of Uhra and Khent, on the Highlands of Wohl. In the midst of the battle, the skies become an ominous pitch black and a giant meteor mysteriously appears over the battle field. The meteor rains molten lava from the heavens before crashing down on the field below it. All of the troops on either side of the conflict near the impact site are completely annihilated. | | The story begins with an immortal man named Kaim, in a decisive battle between the Magic Republic of Uhra and Khent, on the Highlands of Wohl.
