Whats Blue Dragon like?

I've really want a new RPG and have seen mixed reviews for this game. I just wanted to get GS opinion on this.
Does it have good depth/story? I've nearly finished Lost Odyssey and need something to fill my next fix of RPG's.

It's like Dragon Quest. It's generic turn based combat accompanied by a typical jrpg story with decent voice acting and a fantastic soundtrack aside from the terrible boss battle theme.

Most people I've talked to about it have said its quite mediocre. Sounds like a game that I'd play if I was really desparate for an RPG to play and had played everything else already.

It's a very boring and uninteresting JRPG with unlikable characters and a cliche story. Your much better off sticking with Lost Odyssey.

Blue Dragon has a fun combat system (I found it far superior to Lost Odyssey's) though Lost Odyssey's Story was much much better than Blue Dragon's. Another option for you might be Tales of Vesperia which while the story has it's hokey moments early on, really starts to pick up later in the game. The combat system is also fun and the game has the feel of one of those old school PS1 type RPG's. Ofcourse I'd also recommend Mass Effect and Oblivion due to their insanely cheap price online (I got Mass Effect for 7 bucks).mythrol

Cheers man, i really want Tales Of Vesperia, but i'm from the UK you see, and it still doesn't get released here for about another month :(.
Also, i've played through Mass Effect and Oblivion more times than i can count, love them :D
And i can get Blue Dragon at a store near me for 5 bucks, you reckon it's worth it?

Get it for $5. I really enjoyed it.

well, i havent played blue dragon so i dont know what its like, but ive played Lost odyssey and its a great game. As for rpg's to reccomend, i say Tales of Vesperia which was a great game, with very fun fights, or Oblivion, or fallout 3

For 5 bucks, yeah I think it's worth that. The way I determine if a game is worth it is I use a simple formula. For a new game I want to pay basically $1 per hour of gaming. So If I spend $60 on a game I expect to play the game for 60 hours. I usually don't buy new games because of that reason though. Blue Dragon I got an easy 30 hours out of it, so for 5 bucks that'd be an awesome deal.
