With just a week to go until the game's Japanese release, here's a media update featuring gorgeous 720p screens, magazine scans and concept artwork from the highly anticipated Xbox 360 JRPG.
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
Lost Odyssey is one of the best jrpgs of that era but got killed because it was bought up and released on the "wrong" console.
Great game. The 360 had some really good turn based games back in the day. Absolutely loved Lost Odyssey too. I think they are both Sakaguchi creations.
This game together with Lost Odyssey, The Last Remenant and Tales of Vesperia convinced me to buy a 360. This game made my 2007 which ended off with mass effect.
Honestly, a fantastic game, especially if you were a fan of old-school JRPGs. I hate that this genre rarely can come back to these roots.
Destructoid: I remember where I was when Blue Dragon was announced. Although I already had an Xbox 360 and was ready for it, some folks I knew bought one just for it given who was involved (Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama): as Mistwalker and Microsoft Game Studios made a mad dash to put out more games from Japanese studios on the Xbox ecosystem.
Blue dragon was fantastic. Love that game. It was my biggest reason for getting a 360.
i wanted to play it, but ...
1. its on xbox
and 2. i missed it when it was on gamepass ha.
I thought it was pretty good but I personally I think Lost Odyssey is better
Also, I know a lot of JRPGs are cheesy but damn…this one was amped up to 11.
I really wish Mistwalker would remaster these games... they're too busy with mobile unfortunately.
The Summer Game Fest 2023 revealed a new Akira Toriyama game called Sand Land, and it has more potential for greatness than a new Blue Dragon would.
Imma call bs on this. Sorry a blue dragon sequel would be dope and much needed. While this one I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I'm interested. I'm kinda stuck on vehicular action. That's where it's losing me.
Why can’t we just get both? In this gamer world of ours, it seems like it’s always one or the other. Games like these seem like they would print money for these development studios if they released multiplatform.
This game looks amazing and it clocks in at 30gb, on 3 dvd's. Who said we needed blu-ray? We don't need no stinking blu-ray. I can save $200 by changing discs.
Jump In the water is warm and there are hot babes everywhere
I GOT TO SAY I'M STARTING TO SEE THE QUALITY.
The scale and scoope even the art that normally i' not a fan of; but it looks so good/cool/pretty i like it(nice next gen effects going on with Anime is kinda cool).
I can see why the Japanese see this as a grand Epic and i hope this tittle shows the Japanese the Quality and the attention MS gives the dev's to produce top notch games and they can expect MS's exclusives to be state of the art every time.
I just can't believe im excited for an Anime JRPG.
is there any word on a U.S release?
I heard Winter 07/early08. If we're lucky mid-summer.
