I didn't have time to fully engage myself in the review, due to what we call a "salty" schedule in the film world, but this paragraph caught my eye because it's awesome:

I was really intrigued by the line about Lost Odyssey deconstructing that character archetype. I haven't played it, can you elaborate a bit on that?

Sure. The main character of Lost Odyssey is immortal and has lived for around a thousand years. He inhabits the typical role of the quiet, stoic, non-talkative protagonist, which initially turned me off, but as you play, various vital memories are triggered in his mind. They don't relate to the central story, and they're presented as text on a painted background, with no visuals, no voice acting, and only the slightest hint of a score. I really can't do justice to how beautifully these scenes are executed or how well they're written, but they're touching, surprising and often devastating. It's the calming, almost sobering plainness of their presentation that makes them work so well.

I'll have to pick that one up some time - and a 360 to go with it.

I, too, was sad to miss that one.
