This game is excellent and no one should miss out on it. Truly a masterpiece.

Famitsu Review

4 editors reviewed Blue Dragon on a 1-10 scale and in total the score was 37/40

Here are the translated reviews

Grade: 9
From the meticulously-woven story to the easy-to-comprehend battles and gentle (game) balance, the title allows even the most basic of beginners to jump right in. Even so, the game's battles offer a considerable degree of play depth, and other elements such as the enormous number of objects that can be examined will tickle the fancy of gamers. An RPG worthy of being labeled an evolutionary step in the right direction.

Grade: 9
This title shaped up to be a visit to the RPGs of old with the latest technology. Of particular mention is the light and gentle nature of the visuals and a (character) growth sytem that compells tinkering by the player with its high degree of freedom. While the presentation and movies in the game do not stand out in particular, the sense of balance experienced while progressing through the game's story is exquisite.

Grade: 9
A well-balanced RPG that took the direct route and succeeded. Battles are an enjoyable experience thanks to the categories and skills belonging to (the character's) shadows and a system that allows you to make the enemies fight each other. The moving story is complemented with a variety of events that gradually find their way into your heart. Given this, it was a bit odd to experience actions such as searching an enemy's poop.

Grade: 10
A pleasing and meticulously-crafted RPG through and through, from the battles to the command setup throughout the game. It's difficult to come up with another RPG title that barely induces stress even after long hours of play. Toriyama's art comes to life on the screen, and can be experienced in all its glory in both the movies and battles. Let's not forget the boss battle tune sung by Ian Gillan!

"Written by Sakaguchi, Blue Dragon's plot is told in a simplistic, yet fulfilling fashion. The story does not revolve around a love plot (can you say Final Fantasy VIII?) nor does it relate to some abusive business company seeking to squeeze natural life to feed its greed (Final Fantasy VII). Also there's no political strife between two nations (Final Fantasy XII). Instead, the story revolves around a group of friends who seek to protect the world they live in."

wow....wow...How did they put that review site together with people like that? And the last sentence of that paragraph contradicts the whole point of it not being like FF, because in FF they are trying to save the world 0_o.

Nope, Famitsu is reliable. I'm not interested in this game, but I can't say it sucks without playing it. Just saying the xbox365 review is biased as hell. Looks like it was written by forum trolls.

We don't have to go by Famitsu or Xbox365, because this game will get atleast a AA on Gamespot, and be an outstanding JRPG.

Famitsu's ratings are as meaningless as Play magazines ratings. Famitsu gave Nintendogs a Ten. And gave Gundam Cross Fire a high rating. They are complete and utter garbage.

Blue Dragon looks cool. So does Eternal Sonata but I think Lost Odyssey will probably be the best of the bunch.

Famitsu's ratings areas meaningless as Play magazines ratings. Famitsu gave Nintendogs a Ten. And rated Gundam Cross Fire a high rating. They are garbage.

correction. they are people with their own opinion. just cause they have a job writing doesnt make their opinion any more correct than yours or mine. but the problem with reviews is that it is still a person's opinion. the way i see it, people should rate games depending on differentlikings of people's type. for example, if you like this genre, this game will suck/ be good.

that's the only way i can picture reviews to be most helpful. but then, it would take to long to write at least four different views and one person can't do it so then it'd also bea manpower sucking process

if WKS turns out good, it will sell like hot cakes in Japan. Who knows, maybe it will be the new craze in America just like FF was. Thing is, BD didn't sell well in Japan either, for obvious reasons.

having a copy in almost everyone who has a 360's home is bad?.....dude people brought 80,000 360s for this...and this is a trilogy...

yea...im sorry but if ms does a repeat this might be a decent franchise.The real Problem is that it isnt hyped at all here.I think if people would take more notice this game would be able to sell more. Releasing this month wouldve been perfect to instead of releasing it a week before the craziness this fall begining and on the day bioshock comes out.

what is your opinion on the famitsu review above your post. Cant complain about fanboyism there.

Famitsu's ratings are as meaningless as Play magazines ratings. Famitsu gave Nintendogs a Ten. Andgave Gundam Cross Fire a high rating. They are complete and utter garbage.

good review or not, it's going to sell like s*** here in the U.S.

ur point?....and what u think whit knight story is gonna sell hotcakes..the only rpgs that'll sell here are wrpgs and FF( and it depends on if tha game is good).....lost odyssesy will proably get the chances to sell like crazy since Ms is gonna hype it like it's MGs4 on the 360...but Eternal Sonata might have a chance ( but proably not with the halo/pgr4/haze/ut3 lineup)

if WKS turns out good, it will sell like hot cakes in Japan. Who knows, maybe it will be the new craze in America just like FF was. Thing is, BD didn't sell well in Japan either, for obvious reasons.

having a copy in almost everyone who has a 360's home is bad?.....dude people brought 80,000 360s for this...and this is a trilogy...

yea...im sorry but if ms does a repeat this might be a decent franchise.The real Problem is that it isnt hyped at all here.I think if people would take more notice this game would be able to sell more. Releasing this month wouldve been perfect to instead of releasing it a week before the craziness this fall begining and on the day bioshock comes out.

considering the number of 360s in Japan it sold well, but 360 is basically dead in Japan, so game sales will never be "high."

Problem is, you only got 11-12 million 360 owners worldwide, many of whom are Americans. Many 360 owners are casual gamers. These 360 owners play GeOW, tom clancy games, burnout, Forza, and are dying to play Halo 3. That is their taste, how many do you think like those games, and cutesy anime RPGs at the same time? enough to shell out $60 for one also?

You don't seem to know how it works around here. Success in System Wars is not based on how well it sells in any region. The Gamespot review is all that counts.

It's definitely getting better reviews than I expected. However this is just one of those games that'll never give a chance... just don't like the visual presentation & I'm not impressed with the combat system. And for me visual presentation (both gfx & art style), combat, and story are the 3 most important parts of an rpg. Haven't heard enough on the story to make a judgement one way or the other... but being that I don't like the other two categories of this game, I don't care to get to know the story either.

And just so it's clear that I'm not just trying to bash... I am looking forward to Mistwalker's next game, Lost Odyssey.

Still, if I did have to pick just one console to play rpg's on, I'd still hold out for the PS3 instead of going for the one with the first few that drop. White Knight Story is looking like the first truly epic, next gen rpg. The FF's are obvious. And it has 4 other rpg's coming out in Japan this year... so the support is obviously coming. So no need to start PS3 vs. 360 thread Bio ;-)

Actually JRPG's on Sony systems in the US do sell pretty well. It would seem that most Sony gamers enjoy more than the stereotypical 'Western' games. There is already plenty of hype around White Knight Story among the PS3 userbase... it is the type of game that users of the system purchased their system for (not necessarily the fact that it is an rpg but the fact that it's innovative in style & gameplay).

And before you haters go on a WHINE-FEST, i could care less if this is "another site's opinion", because a good review is a good review. looks like the peopz over at Famitsu new what they were talking about. anywayz, enjoy :)

If lemmings can whine about the Play magazine 9.0 lair review, cows can CERTAINLYwhine about something called "xbox365.com" :|

Note the Famitsu review I posted. The Japanese don't like the 360, yet this received good reviews from Famitsu. :) Cows love to hate since they can't have it.

You're right. The Japanese do not like the 360. They like JRPGs. Don't lie to yourself thinking that this game wouldn't have sold better on the PS3 (Especially Japan). And, I hardly ever read anywhere on this site Cows begging for 360 exclusives like the lemmings begging for MGS 4. I, on the other hand, would've liked Blue Dragon to be on the PS3. (Not a Cow, btw)

Pretty good game but im sure it will get an AA here on gamespot. The game is good but I think Lost Odyssey will be better.

i like ho the game looks, but i'm not a big fan of JRPG's, and this one has a rather unoriginal turned based fight system imo.

Blue Dragon looks cool. So does Eternal Sonata but I think Lost Odyssey will probably be the best of the bunch.ColoradoKindBud

I agree.

how is it fanboyism, Sakaguchi (which is the creator of Final Fantasy) went a different direction. They were simply acknologing that.

BD for the most part has had great reviews everywhere I have seen it, and it should...85% of the same people that created Chrono Trigger are involved in this game.

I'm really looking forward to this title, especially after playing the demo. The combat system (in my opinion) is spectacular.
