Blue Dragon scored a 6.0? Wow...

Way to go Sakaguchi, you sold yourself out and faceplanted on a concrete slab of spikes.

I at LEAST thought that this j-rpg, coming from the minds of the j-rpg gods, would be really good, but man, I'm surprised. This game deserved it's crappy score. The story is lame and the all-around gameplay is about a anger-inducing asa fart at a funeral.

I can honestly say I don't think you'll be seeing another j-rpg on 360 for a loooonnnnng time.

This game got so many AAA'sEnglish version gets low scores. I dont know Why but Japanese version's lowest score is %85

Poor lemmings. FF Killer? Self owned both the lemmings and the "ORIGINAL CREATOR!"

Tharts what you get for being cocky.

So now the game isn't even good. Sad.

Bragging rights to the Cows.

[/POINT]

reviewers in gamespot glitch about it.. 6.0 vs enchant arm 7.0... their trying to say enchant arms is better when its not.

lol only thing left about gamespot is the forums, i don't even know why i bother coming here.

was there actually any hype about it? i played the demo for about 5 minutes and deleted it.

its not like there was any anticipation to its reviews or its release (imo anyways)

Well then there you go. Now just find it in yourself to pack up and leave. No point in beating a dead horse.

Yes there was hype for it. It was hyped "A killer for a while by lemmings and one of the hyped games by the "ORIGINAL CREATOR of FF" to take down FF"

PS: OH MY GOD YOU REALLY PLAYED IT FOR 5 Minutes adn got rid of it? I played it for about 5 minutes too when it came out, then i turned it off because it was so boring. I haven't touched it since. I should delete it soon.

But but this is Final Fantasy KILLER! It is from "famous" Hironobu SacaGUCI(yeah GUCI, PRADA, VERSACE...) he worked on first FF games, and...and Square Enix send him away because he was so good and they needed him so bad! But but this is HALO killer(talking nonsense like fanoboys) and it rocks with annoying cliche characters that we have seen so MANY times in ANIME and other crappy JRPG games!

Buh but teh teh .....

O God i knew this is going to be crap, and so will that Lost Odyssey game with that homosexual character that is running around with naked belly. FF clone and bad one if i may add. No wonder no one is buying 360 in Japan when they cant deliver even one single good JRPG.

Buh buh teh teh Xenon...

I look at Blue Dragon as a game like Dragon Quest a classic jRPG thats why I dont get why the score is so low. Both games are similar, both have characters that could have used some more development, both have crappy stories.rzepak

Here is the difference.

Dragon Quest is a game from long line of traditional RPG series. Fans are so dedicated to it's tradition, keeping up with that tradition is the goal of any Dragon Quest sequel.

Going to full 3D with detailed character alone is something fans didn't accept right away, however Level 5 did excellent job at completely maintaining the traditional feel of the game while changing the graphical look to current date.

That's why gameplay had to be really old school like Dragon Quest II old school.

Also Dragon Quest VIII had excellent graphic and really showed off classical Akira Toriyama design. Also it was on PS2 and didn't have any technical problems like slow down.

Not only that, the story itself was a unique. It was unique because it was making fun of RPG tradition, especially it's own. The story didn't drag on without intention. It was dragged on with purpose and that alone made it amusing.

Despite the simple gameplay, Dragon Quest has deep strategic battles and by giving each character unique set of ability, it really makes you become more tactical and grow each character with individual strength. Also the balance of enemies were perfectly done, giving itself great pacing of not being too easy nor being too difficult.

In those aspects, Dragon Quest VIII accomplished itself to perfection, which Blue Dragon unfortunately failed nor had that tradition to follow.
