You have more chance selling your left lung in Japan than an Xbox 360 at the minute, Microsofts next-gen console simply will not move, but the 360's fortunes maybe about to change if Famitsu magazine are anything to go by...
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 is starting to get exciting! Now I'm curious on how much this one game will sell in Japan. It's good to see Microsoft learing from there past mistakes and starting to release AAA titles for all regions! We got GOW, they get Blue Dragon! Everybody is happy! :)
I voted lame by mistake noooooooooo!!!! I am soo sorry this game is truely amazing! I cannot wait to get it in the UK!!
I hope we get this game soon Im wanna play it just as bad as I wanned to play Gears. If MS want to keep selling the 360 they are going to have to bundle every single 360 in Japan with this game. NOW! really it would sale out within days. I am sure of it.
I really hope this game does well in Japan!
When is Blue Dragon expected to release in US and UK?
