European importers get early access to English Lost Odyssey

By Spencer . January 24, 2008 . 10:51am

The Asian version of Lost Odyssey has something the Japanese version doesn’t English and Chinese text. If you add in three different voiceover tracks: English, Japanese and Korean, this is a prime import. Now only if it was region free… and it sort of is!

Play-Asia notes the Asian version of Lost Odyssey will work in Japanese/Asian Xbox 360s plus PAL Xbox 360s. So, if you’re in Europe and you can cut the wait for Kaim’s quest down a month. However, if you’re in North America you are unfortunately out of luck. The Asian version will not work with NTSC-U Xbox 360s. This is a quizzical set up, I can't think of another Asian game that works with NTSC-J and PAL 360s, but not NTSC-U consoles.

Exactly!

Something tells me that Microsoft intentionally kept Americans from importing. That’s the only logical explanation. By default it should be EASIER, if anything, to allow a NTSC-J game to run on a NTSC-U console.

Stupid move. I would have imported this right now.
