Romier S Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's time for the game to get its own thread now that a bunch of TGS footage and images are starting to roll in. For those unaware the game is being developed by Sakaguchi's Mistwalker studios. It will feature character designs by Akira Toriyama or Dragonball Z fame. As well as music from Final Fantasy mainstay Nobuo Uematsu. You can download a very nice lookingTGS trailer right here: Blue Dragon Trailer Here's some images: [ATTACH]2231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2234[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 And it looks like the girl is seriously concentrating as well. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Anyone see this? http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3851&Itemid=2 Very smart move by MS in Japan. Making Blue Dragon a pack in game with new consoles...while keeping the same price is the right thing to do to try and give sales a boost. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Carbine Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Very interesting. If this push can finally attract the Japanese gamer and with the Wii poised as well, does this put any extra pressure on Sony with only 100,000 units earmarked for the home country? It looks like MS is positioning itself to take advantage of the PS3 shortage with this strong move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Not only that, but they are putting the full one hour demo of Lost Odyssey in the latest issue of Famitsu. I'll give MS credit, they are doing a lot to try and convince those wacky Japaneese to buy an American console. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Seems Famitsu has given Blue Dragon a excellent review. Saw this on 1up.com Mistwalker's Blue Dragon for the Xbox 360 has managed to garner interest among Japanese gamers, and now the second part of the plan has been completed -- receive extremely favorable scores in Famitsu, the country's premiere videogame publication. The scores, via GameFront, were 9, 9, 9, and 10, earning the game a 37/40. While this is nothing to scoff at, one has to wonder just exactly how many Xbox 360s Blue Dragon, with the amount of praise being directed its way, will be able to help sell?

Graeme Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wow, will be interesting to see how it does. God knows the Japanese have been known to scoop up systems for a single game in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerX Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 First 10 minutes of Blue Dragon is available on Xboxyde. It looks quite good and I think I will pick this up when it is released here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I already know I'm picking this up; I'm mucho excited to see a new next-gen RPG on any system, but supporting jrpgs on the 360 gives me a warm fuzzy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Is this a Q4 2007 US release or will it be sooner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I don't believe MS have given any details on its eventual release date other than 2007, Camp. As for the game itself, people with the Japanese version have compared it in tone to Skies of Arcadia. I put little faith in that Famitsu score as the more I hear about the background of the magazine, the less value they seem to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMonkey Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm still anticipating this game. FF creator, Toriyama designs (:wub Dragon Quest), scored by the FF composer guy. :wub Nothing not to like. This will probably be the bump factor that finally gets me on the 360 bandwagon next year. The famitsu score just tells me that this isn't a stinker. I never trust reviews from just one place anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
