Odette the queen of lag?

I recently finished the first book, and I experienced a horrible lag during the battle against Odette, the game suffered from lag before in other battles when many enemies appeared on screen at the same time, but this boss fight was ridiculous, the game was wasn't playable at all
Was the boss supposed to be that way? The button I press didn't register until, at least, 3 or 4 seconds later...

And is there more bosses like this one further in the game?

I see, I recently defeated Odette once again but with the Cornelious and it was the exact same thing.

It's a shame that this game suffers from such an annoying flaw.

I just killed her for the fourth and last time (if I'm not wrong) and I hope I won't face any other boss like her in the last part of the game, because that boss fight isn't playable.
Developers shouldn't release games which suffer this much of lag without fixing them properly.

That's nice to hear, but still they should have done that with Odin Sphere first instead...

Ok, I did Odette a few minutes ago and I am happy I am reading this because I was worried my Ps2 had a serious processing problem, the laser has been failing me recently, the machine is due some replacement pretty soon, but not now .

Guess it has to do whith how detailed the underworld is but mostly, all the animations of the enemies in there, wanna know when it reaches its worst part? When the banshee laddies and floor tentacles come out, its HELL!! Well yeh... its the underwold, but it didnt have to feel like that during gameplay experience , oh well, my crappy computer does that all times with most games and I still win anyway, so still loving the game

I doubt that. They certainly had enough budget to hire the top VO actors in the field, didn't they?

Companies do all the VO work at the beginning of development. I guess Atlus just spent to much of their budget and found they needed to save some for promotion.

Actually it has a lot of background animation, not just snow falling down like Horn Mountain, those guys movinfg around with the candles and all, the way that place was made was quite cool, shame it makes the console go turtle though, but its just one stage out of seven you get to visit with each character yeh..
