Blue Dragon AU Review

This should be a masterclass RPG – IGN gives you the Aussie take. Here’s a quick and gentle reminder of why so much was expected of Blue Dragon: Hironobu Sakaguchi (producer), Akira Toriyama (character designer), Nobuo Uematsu (composer). These guys are legends in the Japanese RPG scene, and their resumes sparkle like pure gold. From Uematsu’s work on the soundtracks for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VII, Toriyama’s character and monster designs for Dragon Quest VIII (not to mention Dragon Ball Z), and Sakaguchi’s untouchable status as creator of the Final Fantasy series, you would think that combining their superpowers could not only crank out a killer RPG, but solve global warming, end the war on terror and even successfully launch another 3DO console.
