What're 200 points worth to you? Wait, don't answer yet, because a new DLC pack for
Lost Odyssey released today may just change your whole perception of the value of a point. The "Triple Bonus Pack" adds "'Memory Lamp,' which allows you to watch the past event scenes all over again, 'Shattered Bond,' an antique that will bring back the memory of a forgotten dream, and a special ring, 'Killer Machine,'" all for 200 points ($2.50). Now, we don't know what any of those words meant, but they sounded
awesome.
Also, just as a reminder, the "
SSC Challenge" pack for
Army of Two also arrived today for 600 points on XBL or $7.50 on PSN. If you sample any of today's DLC, make sure you let us know if they're worth the digi-dollars in the comments.

"'Memory Lamp,' which allows you to watch the past event scenes all over again"
I thought there was already an option in the game to do this ?
Either way, basically it's 200 points for one ring. It's as good as horse armor.

But horse armor was so damn shiny.

So the Lost Odyssey DLC is essentially paying for the ability to view cutscenes that are already in the game?
And then a ring that'll what...help you beat the game you've likely already beat by now?
The game still looks enjoyable, but the only kind of DLC that'd be worth it is some kind of "Endgame" content for people who's characters are either maxed or close to it and want an extra challenge.

Sounds to me like they're charging for the old "View Cinematics" menu...
Thats hella lame.. Hironobu, for shame.

LO rocks but this DLC does not :(

Good DLC is on the way. New dungeon, new boss, new achievements.

This DLC we are seeing today is total crap.I imagine you are talking about the DLC that was released for Japan on April 10. You should use some more information in such a vague post.

a ring for 200 spacebucks...what a steal!!!!
Demaar @ Apr 25th 2008 10:09AM
Ugh. That LO DLC is just plain crap. Meanwhile the Japanese get a new dungeon...

I'm just impressed how thanks to all the consoles having
solid internet connectivity and storage, games can be extended by DLC.
Of course there's good and bad DLC but its great to be able to play a game and always have new maps, weapons, modes, levels, characters, etc. to keep the game fresh and exciting.
Sorry if I'm easily impressed. I've been stuck with my PS2 for too long (but I have been playing my PC as well) : D

You must not own a Wii huh.

That is a _guy_ in the picture... right?
deaftly @ Apr 25th 2008 11:27AM
Compared to the lead characters in the past FF games, this guy would be a spartan.
Phillip @ Apr 25th 2008 11:35AM
True. I haven't played many FF games, though Cloud wasn't nearly as feminine-looking as this guy (IMO).
Knight Marquise @ Apr 25th 2008 11:45AM
Actually Phillip, once you play the game you discover he is one bad ass mercenary. Hell, watch the opening sequence, and all doubts will be cast aside about his testosterone level.

I just finished this game lastweek. After beating the "secret" endgame stuff before finishing the last boss i got my toons to level 75ish. The DLC will not be worth it for me. The game on the otherhand was a pretty amazing current gen jrpg. Probly the best out now.
