Rumor: Blue Dragon gets dated - 22nd May 2007

That's right, this blog header pretty much says it all! Xbox 360 owners in Singapore as well as other westernized countries can soon look forward to playing Sakaguchi's newest RPG masterpiece come May 22nd.

Yikes.. I hope now, Blue Dragon, Forza 2 and Halo 3 beta within a week???

I only have 24 hours a day....

ChaosKnight6218d ago

This is interesting, but I'm confused, So does this mean everywhere except North America? Cuz I thought westernized countries are countries that imitate North America in specific subjects (example: kind of government)...

But if it is for North America, that would be killer! One of my Most Anticipated game this year for me =D

DrHooker6218d ago

Uh, North America is not the western world. It is part of it, along with western europe, australia, new zealand, etc :)

Ban Me6218d ago

Not all Western countries imitate America! Some of us actually have our own cultures and way of life, most of which pre-date the existence of America as you know it now.

But I suspect by "Western" they mean territories other than the likes of Japan where it is already out.

Either way, its awesome news but its going to be an expensive month with lots of must have releases out round about then.

This is complete bogus. The guy just wants attention.

One of the best of that era. Great game, great adventure!

Kurisu230d ago

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.

raWfodog230d ago

Yep, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Gears of War were my favorite 360 games back when they first released.

Seraphim229d ago

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.

MrNinosan230d ago

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.

repsahj229d ago

Is there a chance that Lost Odyssey will be released on PS5? I really want to play it and Blue Dragon, too.

autobotdan229d ago

Both games are owned by Microsoft

andy85230d ago

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.

ZwVw230d ago

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.

andy85230d ago

Doesn't really have anything to do with what I said though 😂 Sakaguchi wrote them both

Hofstaderman230d ago

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.

CrimsonWing69230d ago

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.

Did you play Blue Dragon? Whatever the case might be, it deserves to be remembered

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.

gold_drake259d ago

i wanted to play it, but ...
1. its on xbox
and 2. i missed it when it was on gamepass ha.

shinoff2183259d ago

Kind of a shame it's not on gamepass so more people could enjoy it.

gold_drake259d ago

yeh, i missed it by one darn day.

Tacoboto258d ago

It's only $20 on the Xbox Store.
Lost Odyssey is only $25

-Foxtrot259d ago

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.

shinoff2183259d ago

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.

MontyeKristo258d ago

I really enjoyed, at the time, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and The Last Remnant.

MrNinosan258d ago

Then you missed out on of of the best jrpgs ever made.
Did you at least reach the point where Jansen qas singing? 🥰

GoodGuy09259d ago

I really wish Mistwalker would remaster these games... they're too busy with mobile unfortunately.

Why Sand Land Is A Better Toriyama Game Than Another Blue Dragon Sequel

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.

raWfodog315d ago

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.
