Blue Dragon

I just got the newest Gameinformer and it had 10 pages on Blue Dragon and the game looks cool, but after reading the info now I have a reason to get a X-Box 360. Personal I hate the X-Box(360), but since Blue Dragin is only coming out on the X-Box 360 I am going to get a 360. The game is presented in HD, but according to Game Informer the game still looks kick ass on a normal TV. So just how good will this RPG game be?

Well according to GI this game has sold over 80,000 copies in it's first week in Japan and seems to be boosting the Sales of the 360 (as you know the 360 did not sell well with Japan). In fact this game sold more copies then: Dead or Alive 4; which only sold 40,000 copies in its first week in Japan.

Screen Shots (Clicking This Will Take You To Google Search; With Results)

The game itself has three of the best RPG minds at work on it:

Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy; Akira Toriyama, famed artist behind Dragon Quest & Dragon Ball Z; and Nobuo Uematsu, composer for Finial Fantasy. The last time they worked to gether was on Super Nintendo RPG, Chrono Trigger. Now as for the battle system (as some people hate the CLICK the word and WATCH you character attack); they have looked at past RPG battle systems and gave them a small upgrade:

1) Monster Fight- when this appears on the screen this means that the MOnster will attack each other and leave you alone (kill them before they are done fighting). SO if you have a Bug and a Lizard man appear they will fight and leave you alone.

2) Other aspects of the battle system is the ability to give battle command even before the battle starts.

3) Oh yes and for you who hate RANDOM battle; it's not in this game; like in FF12 you can see all the enemies.

So far this game is driving me to get a 360 and you can bet when this game comes out in the Summer (USA) I will be in line getting my reserved copy!!!

Already have mine reserved, even though the cover of the latest GI issue makes it look more like a DB knock off than a fucking awesome game.


Thats because they used the Dragon Ball Z artist as stated in my post above. And besides Dragon Quest also used DBZ art style. Its a small downer; but so small who cares.
 
The only good that ever came out of Akira Toriyama was Chrono Trigger if you ask me. I dunno about Blue Dragon yet though, I've seen some gameplay but it just doesn't have anything that calls out to me.
 
Well personal I hate the X-Box (360); I think they are gay. But after see this game in action (G4 TV) and reading many reviews I have put down my hate for the X-Box (360) and plan on getting this game (along with Fable as I heard it kicks a$$).
 
Well, anything you heard about Fable came from the idiot developer, since not so much as an in-game screenshot has been released as far as I know.

I'm only getting my 360 so the console war doesn't affect me, but I suppose Blue Dragon is something of a perk (Assuming it's good).
 
Nah I don't think I will step anywhere close to that game. Not so much because it looks rather similar to a dbz knockoff but becuase the people look like little kids O.o . That and I dunno kno might just be me but I have enver really liked that same type of people in a game that have real like sphere shaped body parts and look like little kids.

I'm aware of that. But Dragon Quest doesn't have a giant dragon with a humanish face and a little guy in fighting gear on the cover of a magazine. :P
 
I'm definatly gonna get this game if I have a 360 when it comes out.
I just have a Wii right now.
The soundtrack is really sweet, especially the last boss theme, which is like One Winged Angel but alot better :P
I also like the art style of the game regardless of anyone elses thoughts.
