Blue Dragon Gameplay

Superdude · 9 Dec 2006 at 14:18

Xboxyde have put up the first 10 mins of Blue Dragon

http://www.xboxyde.com/stream_3427_en.html

I'm really looking foward to this. With art from Akira Toriyama (Dragonball, Dragon Quest), music by Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) and being headed by Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy) this really can't go wrong.

Famitsu gave it a score of 37/40 which is no mean feat.

The music definatly has that FF feel

EDIT : 1.50 min in. Tell me that dont remind you of sephiroth!

Was thinking the same. Can't wait for this

this game is going to be amazing

blairw · 9 Dec 2006 at 17:24

Really excited about this, should be amazing.
With final fantasy 13 and 13Vs more than 2 years away id say i have no need (except from mgs4) to buy a PS3 but this is a reason along with so many others to pick up a 360

How well is it selling in Japan?

blairw · 9 Dec 2006 at 19:27

Quite well is the impression i get but not as well as it should be?

looks really good, although the constant "playable" voice is annoying and also, why bother to have a mini playable bit in between a cut scene where all you do is walk 5 yards to a character and then the cutscene starts up again? A bit pointless some of those 'playable' bits.

i presume this game wont be region free?

blairw · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:38

It isn't know, and its in japanese. There is an 'Asian' version out at the beginning of spring which very well may be region free and there is talk of english subs, if so deffo import here

Sales Update!!

From GAF

As for number of sales of blue dragon first day approximately 70,000 book?
　According to the information offer to XNEWS, number of sales of first day of the blue dragon which is sold on December 7th, including substance bundled edition, seems that is approximately 70,000 book.
　In the software single item among those it is digestibility 58% in approximately 43,000 book.

　Because this is the number only of 7 days which are weekday, as for with just the sale of first week with Xbox 360 title of the domestic market becoming most numerous you are not almost wrong, probably will be.
　200,000 book it probably will put out the Microsoft sale goal, is, but directing to the goal achievement, you can call the favorable starting first.
　Pill Gates, it is information offer [sankusu].

I have been intrigued slightly by this title and when I saw Toriyama mentioned that basically made my mind up. (dbz fan here

) Time to watch this 10 min gameplay movie then.

blairw · 10 Dec 2006 at 16:59

Ha yeh I'm a dbz freak too

I really cannot wait for this game - should do me until we get our hands on final fantasy.

Also from mistwalker is L.O coming soon, which also looks fantastic

Filled with FMV sequences I think.

blairw · 10 Dec 2006 at 17:27

60 hours of play time for main story? 720p resolution cutscenes?
There you have it - 3 DVD's

I used to love changing the disc in final fantasy made me feel like id achieved something

Psyk · 10 Dec 2006 at 17:31

Funnily enough, the gameplay on that looks more like a traditional FF than FFXII's does.

blairw · 10 Dec 2006 at 17:59

Does indeed

looks brilliant, i seriously can't wait for the europe release of this
