Mistwalker has updated the official Blue Dragon site earlier than usual this week, with our usual 2 images and a video. This time we discover a few NPCs, and I'm sure the fans of Toriyama will like some of the characters. The music is a tad "different", to say the least.

I remember IGN saying something not being impressed with the graphics until they pushed the draw distance wayback which brought clarity to all the graphics.

Lets hope they are waiting for the last minute to surprise us with such? I know I'm going to love this game, but the blur or depth of field they are using is very very distracting at times and I think its masking a beautiful game to its detriment.

Like the first 2 commercials all the graphics and textures are a lot more visible they don't use so much blur or depth of field. They need to tone that down a bit ;)

If someone think its looks like dragon quest 8 or dragonballz alike,no wonder,Akira is behind those games.

Remember it's akiras Dragonballz that is the biggest manga,and dragon quest serie which are the biggest rpg serie in Japan.

Sakaguchi's Final-Fantasy,xenogear,vagrant story etc has alwats been after in Japan in terms of sales,but sold much more worldwide.

ANyway,now they co-work in this game.

Yup, I think Japanese dev's overuse DoF anyways, but here it is really distracting, and like you say kind of spoiling the clarity.

After playing Viva Pinata and looking at this game it's really obvious as well.

I doubt we will get to see English sub's, more chance of it being region free, but that't also unike.

I would be happy with region free, as I can stuggle through most Japanese text. :P

I mean it wasn't too distracting at all here in this gameplay vid, but that was a rather clean environment I would say.

They need to tone down that depth of field bigtime.

Doesn't seem to be TOO big of an issue here. It looks like its much better used here.

Plus there is a drastic quality improvement when you get close to things. I think they'll be careful in how much of the effect they end up using on what part of the game. There are areas they should just make things really clear and others where they should take advantage of dof for good measure.

Come to think of it I take that back it seems to be used rather well in this video (especially at 16 seconds in that house) plus from what I notice this game shines while the character is in motion.

Either way, even with the DoF the game still looks really gorgeous.
