Blue Dragon

Great old school RPG but not for everyone

If you are looking at this game you basically need to ask yourself 1 major question. "Do I want an old school rpg, or do I want something brings a lot of new and innovative things to the table?"

So far this game has filled all my desires for more of a traditional rpg type game. The turn base system reminds me of Final Fantasy VII which brought me into the this genre. No random battles allows you to choose your battles as you see fit, or just work on exploring the lush world created.

The small gripes I have about this game is:
1. The first couple of hours can be kind of a pain to get through
2. Sometimes while you are running around the camera goes blurry, which gives me a headache.
3. Things sometimes do seem a little too easy
