He works with the studio that's in charge of cinematics and told one of his friends, a GAFer some small details he was able to share:

"well, as i stated in the Blue Dragon thread, i have a friend working in a studio which is in charge of the cinematics. i use to ask him about Lost Odyssey, and he shares with me a little bit of the work they're doing and what the game looks like. so i can give you some fresh news about it.
- he can't say anything about the story, but he says that it's really epic
- many of you were asking if the main characters speak or not, well he told me that they DO speak, the studio where he's working are in charge of lipsync, so there's no doubt about it.
- he says that the game is quite impressive rite now. it is near GoW graphics, and people will get in shock as soon as Mistwalker start sending ingame shots to the press, really really impressive
- the "fix cam" thing that was mentioned some weeks before is gonna be something that maybe will bother some of you, but he thinks that it's a good decision for a game like this.
- the demo that was shown last year took Feel+ around a year to make it with XSI. so the delay for LO til next Christmas (it was supposed to be out in Japan for next Summer) is due all the cost and work it's taking Mistwalker, MS, etc..
- about the characters, he says that he is quite impressed with Kaim, he told me that there are very few characters in any other videogame with his, depth, mysterious and personality, he will catch your breath.. he also told me that he didn't like 2 of the characters, one of them is one of your partners, the typical funny dude that's talking stupid sh*t.. and the other one is a bad guy which design and personality didn't like him at all.
- he is pretty sure that Lost Odyssey will sell a lot in Japan, and it will launch XBOX 360 sales higher than many of you think, and it will help XBOX 360 situation in Japan"
