It's been a loooong time now since this Blue Dragon trailer was first shown in Japan, but for some reason it was never released as a good quality version until now.
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
I bought this game a couple of days ago, along with Lost Odyssey, while they're on sale in the Xbox Store. I never had a 360 back in the day so I missed out on these games, so I'm glad that I'll finally be able to try them out soon on my Series S.
Yep, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Gears of War were my favorite 360 games back when they first released.
no doubt. To this day it baffles me when this game gets hate. Sure it wasn't as epic as Lost Odyssey, but in it's own right it was a great game.
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.
Is there a chance that Lost Odyssey will be released on PS5? I really want to play it and Blue Dragon, too.
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.
Correction. Both Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey (as well as Infinite Undiscovery) started off as in-house developed projects that went third party after MS killed off their Japanese development studios.
Doesn't really have anything to do with what I said though 😂 Sakaguchi wrote them both
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.
Lost odyssey lost me when I started to realize my grinding to level up wasn't adding up. So I never picked it up again. I really really despise that.
Then you missed out on of of the best jrpgs ever made.
Did you at least reach the point where Jansen qas singing? 🥰
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.
looks like a good solid game that'll sell 360's in japan. THAT'S ABOUT IT! How does it plan to take-over Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts? I mean, the 360 itself will be getting a final fantasy...i'm not just saying "kill the ps3"...i'm saying that it looks like another attempt at luring in the japanese gamers and it will fail miserably and become another generic, terrible game
this game looks "hella cool". I will, more than likely, buy this game... unless it can be beat in a weekend, then I'd just rent it.
and this trailer from last year wonder how the game looks currently
looking good. not sure how it will appeal to the American 360 crowd, whose like seems to lie exclusively with fps'. this could be the game to spur the 360's sales in Japan however. hopefully. i myself am DEFINATELY keeping this on my radar.
This is one of the games that put the 360 on my high interest list. Provided its not a turn based card type game and more action/adventure, I'm sold.
