Microsoft and Mistwalker released just a few days ago the first real downloadable content for Blue Dragon, a rather nice 300 points and 18 MB download. This adds a new dungeon right before the end of the game, and since it's randomly generate it's quite replayable.
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.
I am a Sony fanboy to the death, but this game may be the only reason why I would buy a 360....I might just rent one from Blockbuster. I dunno why they made this game for the 360 when the RPG market is minimal there. I mean this game sold 50k in Japan....and its been out like what 8 months there?
Really sweet game, I'm happy this came for 360. Can't wait for the European release. Cool to see they do downloadable content for it as well.
its kinda weird.
I haven't heard about that many RPGs for sony. Probably a lot more will come out later.
I like the combat sys.
At first it kinda reminds me of WoW but then it just gets better.
WOW...I'm not a big RPG fan but I don't know maybe I'm getting soft in my older age, I usually go for realism in graphic's, -now that doesn't mean I don't think gameplay is just as important or more, I just prefer realism over cartoon style and although I'm still not in love with the whole turn based fighting style, this game does have alot of appeal.
-Damm, I have a strange way of saying I like a game, OK so I'll just say what I really mean and spare you guys my life story; uhmm this game looks like a lot fun to play. I might give it a try, and oh yeah I've noticed that too snoop dizzle (love the name, BTW) and hey what's up with M$ turning into some good guy RPG luvin punks on us. -j/k
