Personally I liked it. I'm actually a bit more surprised it only sold 200,000 in Japan because they should have loved this. Guess that's the bais agains MS showing there.

But the real question is how well do you think it's going to do in the rest of the world?

It was interesting, the method of letting your character be slow and uber strong or fast and a light weight really changes up the game, I liked it.

I liked it a lot as well.... I only played it for about 30 minutes because after that I knew that my pre-order was well worth it and didn't want to ruin anymore of the experience for myself. I only played the first mission with the three levels of the ship and beat the first boss. It has everything a JRPG fan can ask for in terms of a turn based JRPG.... the whole charge up your attack idea seems really cool has a lot of risk/reward to it. I hope the game does very very well, this way it encourages MS and Mistwalker to keep plugging away and to keep making good games, hopefully eventually people can get over the name behind something and just enjoy it for what it is.

It seems pretty good. i only briefly played it. Need to look at the fighting system a bit more to see how that pans out b/c it seemed like no one really attacked for a while in my fights. But once i figure that out ya it'll be good it seems. Will be buying it for sure.

hah ... really?? I didn't even bother to try to get to him/her. After beating all of the minions and the boss on the first level I stopped because I was already hooked. That will be interesting to remember for when I am playing the full version of the game.

I'm not a fan of the RPG genre, but this game has been getting a considerable amount of buzz, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It's been a long time since I played any turn-based combat games, so I was surprised with the depth of actions, items, and stats. I too liked the initiative system balancing between power and speed.

I think the demo was awsome, the battle system works out well. This might be the beginning of anime RPGs hitting on the 360, which I been wishing for a long time now. I hope they keep this up and make more games like this.

Demo is absolutely fantastic. Have put close to 4 or 5 hours into it thusfar going through the 2 areas killing and exploring everything I can multiple times. Have been able to beat everything except Nene (which you arent allowed to beat anyway) and that damn Plant type monster at the end of the forest ruins. As soon as the fight starts im fighting just to keep my characters alive. Can anyone confirm if your supposed to be able to beat it? Or is it like Nene where it will end the demo for you even if you have time left?

The demo was great, I loved the game. I just think that it shouldnt have just thrown you into the game and expected you to know what all to do. It took me a couple minutes to get a feel for the game, but once I did it was great. The game has an awesome visual presentation and a great color pallete, it just feels like playing one of the old greats like Chrono trigger or something and I absolutley love that!

I thought it was great i didn't think i would like it at first but then i ended up beating the entire demo i will definetely get this but i don't think it will do to well here it will sell very little just because of the subject matter and the kind of game it is.

In the US and UK?? Maybe not so much... might help since it will be coming out around the time of Halo 3 and Bioshock should be out etc etc.... but in terms of by itself I don't really think the American public is that big on JRPGs that it will sell that many consoles here (as far as the UK i cannot comment as I am from the USA and have no idea how things work over there). It did do well in Japan for a Xbox game and did help spurt the sales there, but didn't make any monumental strides.

from what I've played, I love it. I just don't have a lot of time to play. I LOVE old school RPG so I don't mind the fact that it's turn based. The only thing I see wrong with it is the frame rate is a bit blah (but thats probably because its a demo, the footage from the japanese version I've seen is fine) and the menu system during battle is a bit complicated.

I only got to play about 10 minutes before I left for work, I was a little confused on how all this comes together, been a while since i've played turn-based anything. Seemed pretty good though, a lotta depth. I was a little puzzled in my short gametime that I faced the same 3 bad guys in a row, normally not so bad but in a turn-based game gets a little redundant.

It didn't sell like crazzy in Japan because it was on an American platform. Thats probably the only reason. Because anything involving Toriyama sells like theres no tomarrow in Japan.

Anyway, I though the demo was okay.

Blue Dragon rules everything....

If Chuck Norris was in a match with Blue Dragon, Blue Dragon and Chuck Norris would make a portal to the parallel universe because of their mad skills.

Coporeals kick some serious ass! I used 2 Coporeals in a boss battle and it defeated all 4 guys in 1 hit. Unfreakin' belivable!

There are many in the UK that love JRPGs and I'm one of them, Its about time wee get a few good non FPS games. Its just a shame that there's so many good 360 game coming out, I fear it might get lost...

Didn't like it at all and to add to that it crashed my 360 (had to restart) which also made me dislike it even more.

I like it once I got use to the combat style. Not sure if I'll buy it or not but it is a possibility.
