Same thing I've thought about The Last Story. Mistwalker's games deserve to be on modern platforms.
Wario64 woke up and chose violence lol (Lost Odyssey is on sale for $6.24 on Xbox Live Gold)

I always forget about The Last Story because I never got around to playing it, so I would definitely love to see that one on modern platforms as well

Does the battle system in Lost Odyssey ever stop feeling laid out/dull?
I played 8 hours or so of the game and I always felt like I was on the rails with little impact on what was going to happen in a battle.

that's just a spin-off action game with no party members like that Game Boy game
A few I can think of:
-Enchanted Arms, which is turn-based but with a grid-like system. Akin to South Park: The Fractured But Whole. It was decent and an easy 1000/1000 Gamerscore. Believe I got just playing through the game.
-Eternal Sonata. Pretty emotional game about a famous musician who is dying and you're playing as various people who are named after musical instruments and such. It's not a rhythm game type game or anything like that at all though just to be clear. Also turn-based/sort of real-time as you do control the characters' movements during your turn. Really enjoyed this one. Story was fantastic imo.
-Infinite Undiscovery. Don't remember a whole lot about it other than I did like it and it had a heck of a hard beginning. Once you get past that first hour (?) it's smooth sailing from there.
Sick, From Software huh? Never heard of it, definitely trying this one out
Oh man Eternal Sonata, had completely wiped that game from my memory. A friend of mine would rave about it at hockey practice back in the day lol. Thanks for the recs, adding them to the wish list
I played through the whole game on my One X a few years back and the load times were ridiculously faster than when I first messed with it on my 360 back in the day (even doing the disc install on the 360 so it wasn't reading from the disc). I imagine it's slightly faster on a Series but it's already so hugely improved.
Eternal Sonata, Infinite Undiscovery, and Resonance of Fate.
BANGERS. I miss 360 Japanese support.
We are not the only room though. The amount of enthusiast hype, from not just us, would get a lot of eyes on Microsoft and Gamepass. I'm not saying it would be a major seller, but it would be a massive PR boost.
I never played it and haven't gotten a chance to go back. I think it came out at the same time as Infinite Undiscovery and I was starting college and didn't have time for two JRPGs, lol.
The dreams in this game were incredible little stories but man, they show up just often enough and are just long enough to become really annoying after a while.
Also the villain's design is so bad it almost ruins the whole game for me

Tbf, FFXIII's combat takes way too long to actually get into the interesting parts.
Character design is so bad. Like Kaim, whatever, generic sad hero guy, fine. Everyone else? Trash fire. Looks like PS2 CG cutscene models in real time.
yeah I've found Microsoft is very hit and miss with refunds but in these instance it shouldn't be an issue.
Still have my disc, I really wish it was enhanced for the series x, 720p30 is rough - runs fine and load times are good but oof it looks its age.
edit: After posting this I went to look at a random shelf that I have a bunch of games in (all my original copies lol), and laughed at this completely random selection:
I went all digital starting with ps4/xbox one and this is the first time I miss physical lol

I think it was given away as a random freebie at one point, not even sure if it was XBLG or anything, just 'hey, this is >free!<' one day.
Yup, that's how I got my digital copy. It was purely free for a few days in late 2016.
Never played it but Im always amazed by the game introduction.

Exactly what the the title says. A very traditional Japanese RPG, exclusive to the Xbox 360 and developed by Mistwalker. An all-star development team.In my o...

It's FF XIII, because people joked that this game was the real FF13 back in the day
I really struggle to relate with this point because FF XIII's battle system only starts offering any kind of choice or agency dozens of hours into the game, not very long before it's over.
I feel like FFXIII is one of those games where people spent so much time theory crafting the theoretical possibilities of the game that they forget the actual experience playing through it for the first time. You have no choice of party, no choice in how you approach any enemies for the most part of that first playthrough.
It's exactly one way or no way at all regularly culminating in the absolutely dreadful Eidolon encounters that ask you do trial and error your way through a time limit until you stumble upon the one exact way you are allowed to damage them.
Meanwhile LO has probably the best implementation of the classis turn battle system of the Genre in my opinion. It's the only time I ever loved going through the endgame in any of these games, leveling all my chars to 99 in the process.

Which one have you played? Any of them enhanced? And are they for sale?
Its not about choice its about execution. The game gives you all the tools you need until the game opens up later on. Being able to execute well greatly trivializes most encounters in the game. Its the best implementation of the ATB system in Final Fantasy. If all you do is mash the X button to hit auto battle every single time that is on you for not engaging with the game more.
I liked the Lost Oddessey battle system more. FFXIII's isn't bad but it does feel like just watching numbers go up and down and swapping setups to maximize damage. It's like watching the stock exchange it gets pretty boring.
That said I have never had a problem with 'old' battle systems and actually really enjoy them so it was a top game for me when FFXIII was a pure stinker.
