The auto-kill ability is great and the target circle seems like it could be interesting but I haven't found the right scenario yet.

My two complaints are the awful, annoying, bad anime characters and voice acting and much of the display and text is too small. There is plenty of blank space on the screen to fill, why do they need to make me squint?

I will probably ending up buying it just because I am a jrpg fan and would like to support developers taking a chance on Microsoft.

It felt to me like the game had absolutely no soul to it. Didnt find it very fun and I cringed at the dialogue.

However thats just my opinion, you can feel free to disregard it.

Didn't like it. I'm not into JRPGs, but it seems to be a good game tho. The big attacks, those where the dragon transform into a bigger thing (don't actually remember what lol ) look cool :D

GARBAGE! A turn-base game. I hit you, then I'll wait and let you hit me. I could never stand that.

I thought it showed a lot of potential but I won't make up my mind until I hear more about how the story is, that's the make or break point for me.

Nope i just didnt like it. Im a huge RPG fan aswel.

Eternal Sonatra was wayyy better. Il be picking that up instead.

Im hoping to hear some news on a new "Tales Of" game, on any console, as they have the best battle systems.

I just hate turn based games where enemies can pop enywhere. And that battle circle was just useless... And the dragon things behind their back... Just sad.

The demo was terrible. It's going to be a great game though. I really wish they had made the demo better, because it leaves a bad impression.

i agree, the demo wasnt that great because everyone was so overpowered and the enemies were so weak.

Indeed, the real game will have a nice, customizable job system, it will be fun. But many people got turned off by the demo, so they'll never know.

I agree, the demo had its share of problems but so did the Forza 2 demo...the actual game is nothing like the demo what so ever. I'm looking forward to BD and will be picking it up after Bioshock.

I liked the demo, actually. It gave you a taste of what to expect mid-game but still taught you how to play in the beginning. Graphics were really good and I didn't mind the characters. Plus, there are a few classes you can switch between so you can always change your party. Looks good, and I'll buy it eventually, but MP3 has my money for August 28 :P.

When I saw the pictures of the actual gameplay, it's just like Ragnarok Online, except it has way better graphics, but not the best graphics to suit the next-gen console, im sure you know what I mean. Personally I won't be getting it, mainly because of the graphics, I like RPG games like this but the graphics and actual character design just turns it upside down.

I don't like the graphics anymore than you, but I think this game really will make up for it in other areas.

If anyone is curious about the plot. There is an anime series that has been out for 3 months now. The game is about going on a quest to round up the shadow spirits to take on the evil BeBe or DeDe some stupid name. the series is a comedy that action. The main character is the weakest of them all and because he has the legendary dragon as his shadow he must help save the world. I don't fell like goin any further into the story it is pretty good so far.

The Blue Dragon anime is terrible. The game's story has nothing to do with that mess's story.

it was decent, i might like it more when i actually get to develop my characters. In the demo you already have every spell, so it kinda spoiled it for me.

I was excited about this one till I tried the combat. It went from "I may buy this" to "No chance I'm buying this" in about 30 seconds. Thank god for demos. I just don't care for JRPGs... but was willing to give BD the benefit of the doubt because I like the art style. It just goes to show you looks can only take you so far, and that if the gameplay isn't fun, the game won't be worth your money.

Not that I don't see it's appeal. Just saying what I think... not trying to change anyone's mind on it or anything.

"No chance I'm buying this" in about 30 seconds.

donalbane
Now people have different tastes, I realize, and that's fine. But honestly, it takes more than 30 seconds of a demo to get into any game. Especially a poorly done demo like this.

I don't like the idea of every character has access to all classes. It makes the shadow less unique. And some of the skills seem the samemagicalclick
Name me a game with a job system that didn't give all character access to all classes. The framerate's better in the full game as well.
