The demo for Blue Dragon felt like your standard JRPG. I really dislike the art s-tyle, but I think the graphics are top notch. I absolutely could not stand the voice acting for Shu, the main character, and Marumaro, that little creature, but the other charaters voices were pretty decent. The game seems extremely easy cause I jumped right into it instead of reading how to play since you only have an hour for the demo, and I was able to beat the main bad guy for that part of the demo. I forgot his name, but you fought his 4 henchmen first, and then him. IMO, the battle system really shows its age. I picture some people liking the old timey battle system, and some people wishing there was something more.
In the end, Blue Dragon is the same old same old JRPG. I believe it will be a good game for JRPG lovers, but it won't convert anyone into liking them.
IMO, I think it will score 8.0, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it dipped below AA, to say 7.5.
this may sound dumb but this game shouldnt get AAA just because of the horrible boss music...its really bad....but im still hyped for the game..i say AA....8.5
i'm giving this a AAA because i'm already playing this game, since its already been released in Hong Kong. The combat, controls and graphics are awesome!
BD only sold about 190,000 in Japan :| . I would like a link that says 300,000(probably # shipped).ultima-flare

"Hironobu Sakaguchi: I think I'm pretty satisfied since we sold about 200,000 packs but we also sold 100,000 games so that's 300,000 total which means that 66% of 360 owners have bought the game. I think it was a successful release."
It may be a AAA game. The creator of FF. The team creating it is amazing and I have only heard good things about it. We havent had a good JRPG in awhile and this may be it.
This hype thread is pointless. Lemmings would have hyped this game AAA (as they have been for a while now) if EGM didn't flop it. So, they will just downplay the hype so they can say they weren't "owned" or whatever it is that happens when a game flops.

This thread was made and posted in before the EGM review was up, smart guy.
doesnt interest me at all. the overall chars in the game look like a rip off of DBZ.
the main char look like kid goku, the girl look like android 17 or 18 ( cant remember which one) the rest....... you get the idea.

That's due to Toriyama doing the character design, as well as other things. So it isn't in anyway ripping off DBZ, it's his art style.
Anyway in saying that... I don't like it to be honest, but the worst part for me was seeing one of them wearing the great-saiyaman outfit sans helmet. Straight up, wrong.
