It may be long on the story (which I'm sure is terrific), but I'm sure it's really short on the gameplay. I've tried so hard to like these types of games, but they don't have much to offer me.I think the subgenre should be renamed "Interactive-movie-with-random-battles-after-every-few steps."

Lost Odyssey is indeed an awesome game, I found myself playing it at nights after work for a couple of weeks, not many RPGs make me do it these days.Another angle to spin it though, is that you could get your girlfriend or wife to watch some emotional scenes w/ you and cry together, as the game is pretty good at pulling one's heart string.
