It looks like crap! I mean, if you're hard up for a mediocre RPG, why not wait for Eternal Sonata? Looks leagues better and it comes with a nifty faceplate, no less. Fuck this animu bullshit!
-
People aren't buying it.
Japafags are.
-
CAN'T WAIT! :hyper
Getting it for free but I would have bought it anyway!
-

Wow you really are a GameStop employee.
-
wHY?!?!
-
I'm a whore for faceplates, the Eternal Sonata ones look cool.
-
I bet if Blue Dragon had a faceplate you would be pushing that. I think I see your agenda, now.
-
Nah - I wouldn't support EVERYTHING with faceplates. I would probably pre-order for a faceplate and then cancel my reservation if it sucked...
... like BLUE DRAGON.

:o

Sakaguchi + Toriyama. It's 2/3 of the Chrono Trigger dream team!

But it's on a Xbox, 3/3 of the JRPG nightmare team.

Missing the guy who does good scenario design. :(
also missing mitsuda
-
BD also has Uematsu so I guess like ... 3/5 of the CT dream team if you count Mitsuda, Uematsu, and Horii.
There were only 3 members of the "dream team" originally, though. Mitsuda wasn't included. :'(
-
I preordered Eternal Sonata 'cuz of the faceplate, the demo of ES was cool but I'm not too enthralled by the JGAFFers impressions, they seem to rate BD much more favorably. I'm getting both, I don't care (and then never gonna play them)
-
Patel... all indications is that the game is boring and its pedigree is irrelevant!
-
it could hardly be more boring than ES
and look at DQ8! some RPG fans love boring!
-
I'm at the last dungeon; it's actually a very good game, even if the plot and the overall gameplay are a bit too standard
and it does look better than Eternal Sonata after the novelty of that game's cel-shading wears off... some of Blue Dragon's environments and monster animations are simply out of this world
people just await Eternal Sonata because they want turn-based combat to disappear entirely
-
Blue Dragon is why I want a 360..
-
NO FACEPLATE SHUP!
-
IGN said the first disc was so boring that had they not been paid to play the game, they would've chucked the disc out the window and shat inside the DVD case.
-
SHOW ME THE FACEPLATE
-
For Eternal Sonata?
-
Blue Dragon sounds like my kind of traditional JRPG. It sounds like a dungeon hack without that much focus on plot. That's what I like.
-
Im totally getting Eternal Sonata
-
I'll probably get Blue Dragon, I mean, I need sometype of JRPG for my 360. It'll be my first experience with an RPG with nextgen visuals too..I NEED IT
-
Great thread ::). Why are people buying this game? I think it looks like crap! Maybe people like RPGs?
-
Blue Dragon doesn't have a Gamespot point-of-contact phone schpiel this month so Willco can no longer understand why someone might play it
-
There's no question that Mitsuda is more talented than Uematsu, it's just that Mitsuda decided entirely too early into his career to hang up the boots. Now he only does shitty handheld RPGs and animu.
He game music's Tiki Barber, except even more extreme.
-
I thought it looked nice enough to warrant a purchase, which I did when the Asian version came out a few months back. Haven't put too much time into the game, but it looks good to me. I like Akira Toriyama art though.
-
Calling BD "animu bullshit" and then pushing the animu-riffic Eternal Sonata in the same post? What's going on here, exactly?
-
I was wondering the same thing when I read that post.
-
Where did the term "animu" come from, anyway? I DON' GET IT MANG
-
FACEPLATES PEOPLE
-
Where did the term "animu" come from, anyway? I DON' GET IT MANG
Animu is Love Hina and Azumanga Daioh
Not the cool shit like Akira cause nobody gay watches Akira, only Love Hina and Azumanga Daioh
-
Blue Dragon is shonen, but not animu. Eternal Sonata is animooooo
-

DO NOT EVER INSULT AZUMANGA DAIOH LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN OR I WILL GO "BIG DADDY" AND MAKE YOU MY "LITTLE SISTER" :punch :punch :punch :punch :punch
-
I will not buy Blue Dragon.
Eternal Sonata DOES look fucking better than that game. A LOT fucking better.
If I'm going to go play an RPG, I will go play FFXII, since I haven't beaten it yet. OR, better yet, Persona 3, which should be coming through my Gameznflix.
-
But Big Daddies just protect Little Sisters. They don't do anything bad.
-
I'm getting Blue Dragon sometime. I originally hated the demo, but not I like it. Eternal Sonota is still better though. I hear Blue Dragon gets great later on in the game, so I'm excited.
-
Eternal Sonata demo was ass total. Blue Dragon at least feels like a game with some depth.

Someone actually hated the Eternal Sonota demo. :o That demo was too much fun IMO. Artwork and battle system really rocked. Only reason I may hold out on the game is because it will probably come to PS3 (No only on 360 logo, and the esrb.org had it listed before. Now the ESRB doesn't even list Eternal Sonota, which must mean something).
-
My big problem with ES was the extremely small towns and the super linear paths in dungeons/fields... I hope that's just because it was an early area in the game, and that towns/dungeons/fields will grow in size and be a bit more open.

blue dragon > lost odyssey

This.
Plus it's got the Chrono Trigger dream team working on it (well, a portion)

I don't understand why anyone likes Eternal Sonata.
-Shit Art style (although this isn't surprise)
-Shit battle system with shoddy collision detection
-Shit dungeon design
-Shit out of dungeon camera
I guess its just all the Japafag animu fans that love it, but that demo felt like a disaster from start to finish. Nothing went right in it.
