Apologies for a new thread as i know there is an official one but this is not so much about the game itself but a strange problem i have with disk 4.

Basically whenever i put this disk in my drive my 360 drive goes bannanas. Random spinning up and down and i can hear it accessing the disk over and over like its having trouble reading. The game loads fine but once ingame whenever it loads new data ie. going into a battle, it pauses for up to 20 seconds but will not give me any disk read errors. This can happen anytime it has to load data off the disk which is basically all the time. Likewise it will pause every so often during FMV (not that theres many ingame) but only for a second or so.


Strangest of all is my drive makes virtually no noise when this disk is in apart from frantic disk access sounds. I can hardley hear it spinning where as normally the drive sounds like my dyson.
There is not a mark on the disk at all and no visible warping or defects.

Wondering if anyone else has come across this with Lost Odyssey or any other 360 game and anything i can do about it...

The 4th disc on some copies of Lost Odyssey is known to have issues (bad batch), I'd ask to get it replaced.
 
It's also a really good game as well. Feels very similar to Final Fantasy 7 & 8 and better than anything since RPG wise IMO.

I think its a bit flat tbh.

No Summons, No Special Moves (Limit Breaks)

Just does not seem as polished as a FF game is. Still the story is enjoyable enough and there are pleanty of Side Quests.

If there are known problems with the 4th disk then i will take it back but im almost 100% done so may well just hang onto it and trade in once done. Reckon i got about another 25-30 hours left to go till im done tho.
 
damn, i had only started the fourth disc when my rental ran out of this game :(

but the short time i did have it there was one disc read error on *** fourth dic, but that's more likely my xbox dieing a slow and painful death.
 
Its stuffed with HD FMV

Except its not. Im on Disk 4 and have seen maybe 6 FMV's @ about 1 min each. (Not counting the opening sequence). Its stuffed with high res textures and models as well as a lot of cut scenes which most of them have full voice acting.

Im a little dissapointed as FMV's re always much nicer ^^
