Phil Spencer confirms the arrival of Blue Dragon to backward compatibility on Xbox One

In this house Generacionxbox have spoken hundreds of times on the positive and necessary arrival of games like Blue Dragon or own Lost Odyssey to retrocompatible Xbox One. Something that fans of the genre JRPG appreciate it, and a nice gesture to the fans by Microsoft.

I know they are working on it, but I want it NOW. I love Blue Dragon and would love to play it on my Xbox One, seriously one of the most charming JRPGs out there.

[NewMonday]

Blue Dragon was a major let down, slow pace, battle transition and excessive grinding.

on the other hand Lost Odyssey is an all time classic JRPG, a true FF in everything but name.

also Tales Of Vesparia is still the best Tales ever

[Abash]

You entirely missed the point of Blue Dragon. It is intended to be a heartwarming, oldschool JRPG done on an HD console. Does it have it's flaws? Sure, I can't even stand the vocals in the boss fight music and it is grindy like every other turn based JRPG. But Blue Dragon does so many things right like the story, art style, enemy designs, etc. that it is hard not to enjoy the game. I even love the simple battle system, that some criticized for not being innovative enough when the game was meant to play like classic JRPGs.

I would love to see a Blue Dragon sequel that tried something new with the series, but the original game is still great.

"You entirely missed the point of Blue Dragon.It is intended to be a heartwarming, oldschool JRPG"
didn't say anything about the story or plot, the issues I mentioned are all technical "slow pace, battle transition and excessive grinding"

when I said "slow pace" I was talking about going in and out of battles, IIRC you could combine a couple of encounters into one battle but that still wasn't enough to give it good pace.

Lost Odyssey is my all time fav jrpg next to vagrant story and ff9,but i think you were too harsh on blue dragon.It's a solid jrpg imo.It's not greta but it's solid.

[Jag-T1000]

OK dude, you know you are wrong when 10 people disagree with you. Just let it go.

[gangsta_red]

"also Tales Of Vesparia is still the best Tales ever"

Now that we can definitely agree on.

[NewMonday]

@Jag-T1000

wrong about Blue Dragon or wrong about Lost Odyssey and Vesparia?

anyway it's just my opinion

[SirBradders]

Lost odyssey was macka, i played it for half hour then chucked it in the bin (literally). I love a good story and everything but I couldn't bare that battle system.

[thekhurg]

Shut your mouth. Blue dragon was amazing.

[LexHazard79]

ok now ive read it all....

[babadivad]

Agreed on LO and Tales.

Yuri is by far and away the most bad ass jrpg lead character ever. He lived in the real world where everyone doesn't deserve a second chance. He twice went out and murdered evil [unarmed] people in cold blood. He's the only character I know who was the same person at the beginning of the game that he was at the end. The world didn't change him for the better[like what happens on so many feel good JRPGs] he change the world in a way he thought was right. He wasn't a product of the world around him, he mad the world a product of him.

Dude was just a boss.

Not sure why you got so many down votes, was it the LO or the Tales comment that did it?

[BLizardXD]

Hell yeah!!! miss that game and Lost odyssey!

[Bansai]

I just literally put disc nr 3 into my 360. awesome game.

[DevilOgreFish]

About time! I definitely would love to play these games again.

[christocolus]

Finally. BD and Lost Odyssey are among the games I've been waiting for.. Glad I have my 360 saves stored in the cloud.can't wait to continue my playthrough and hopefully Lost Odyssey will arrive soon too.. :)

[Auron]

Great news! Heres hoping Lost Odyssey isn't too far behind!

[Movefasta1993]

omggggg now bring tales of vesperia,eternal sonata and Lost O!

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Lost Odyssey will come to BC, since MS owns it.

[Vasto]

Would buy this day 1.

[Ginpachi-sama]

Didnt xbox tards say that jrpgs suck? Oh how times have changed

[gangsta_red]

Trolls saying stupid shit? That never changes.

[Majister-Ludi]

Yup because one person who owns an xbox says jrpg suck means everyone thinks that. How the fuck can I say a game site is not credible and get flagged yet this idiot can do this.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Because he's bashing Xbox. It's allowed on this site but don't you dare say something against Sony...

[bangoskank]

Because he's bashing Xbox. It's allowed on this site but don't you dare say something against Sony...

... or Gamebolt.

[LexHazard79]

jrpgs are always welcome, xbox had its share. they just dont sell well. but maybe these upcoming releases sparks a lil fire for more jrpgs.

[vega275]

Damn you MS. I've lost my copy. Make it happen MS and I will buy it digitally. Loved this and lost odyssey.

[babadivad]

Still got my copy of LO waiting. In pristine condition too.

[vega275]

LO i Actually have but I'm missing a disk.

[PhucSeeker]

I don't think BD has a digital version.

[Theguardianwave]

When's it coming out for pc ?

[XXanderXX]

Am guessing some time between today and never .............lol

[XXanderXX]

Awesome , butter

[TheColbertinator]

Lost Odyssey next hopefully

[NotanotherReboot]

MS have defo overtook Sony now

[Ginpachi-sama]

Lol keep dreaming

[NotanotherReboot]

ps4 dosent have bc

[LexHazard79]

i think he meant with features, and i agree. if it wasnt for the power difference, xbox one would be best console, my opinion.

[Darkfist_Flames]

why would anyone care about this, xbox doesnt like jrpg

[DigitalCentralMedia]

One of the best games on the Xbox 360!!

[Godmars290]

Why should there be any issue with providing MS on Xbox BC?

[kevnb]

my expectations were way too high the first time I played this.

[wadprime]

I've been waiting for this, and I can't really put my finger on why. I enjoyed the game enough when it came out, but for some reason I could never bring myself to give it another go or try out new game plus. Maybe this will change things.

[JCW2005]

Lost odyssey next pls

[TheRichterBelmont]

Nooo, where's Lost Odyssey?

[georgenancy]

weird how people are acting like these games are new

[poppinslops]

For a lot of us they basically are... games like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Nier are almost impossible to find in stores and they don't have digital versions on 360, so the BC program gives players that missed these underrated gems a chance to finally play them.

Hence the excitement.

[r3f1cul]

ive been itching for a jrpg for a while ... hope this comes out soon because i never got around to this bad boy the first time around so i would welcome it with open arms when it comes to BC for sure ...

[Bass_fisherman]

That´s really nice

[Godz Kastro]

Nice, I'm sure this will make a lot of people happy.

[MetalNCarnet]

I hope when Lost Odyssey makes the list, they can fix the framerate. Hard to go back to it because of that.
