Xbox 360

The famous magazine Shonen Jump had the privilege of doing a big unveiling on Blue Dragon this week. Considering who the character designer is, it makes sense. A japanese friend sent me these two low quality cell phone photos showing a bit of the game. It will have to do until we get some true scans.
Update: Good quality scans added!

You can put the barrier that is called "Bari-baria".
You can defeat the enemy whose level is lower than I without combatting by the
power of the barrier.
Please raise your shadow fast by this method, and obtain the technique.

Oh awesome you'll be able to use a out of combat barrier ability to defeat an enemy who is of a lower level than you are. Awesome :)

I wonder how many other out of combat shadow abilities you'll have at your disposal? Maybe there is a possibility that you can use these different out of combat abilities within the game world to accomplish specific tasks besides defeating an enemy?

Also yes that is an awesome effect in the picture to the right.

lol no seriosly I can pickup on stuff. Its mad doing it, its not amazing long sentences but simple sentences and phrases are like second nature when watching it now. Alot of the characters in both series overuse the same stuff anyway so you can pickup on phrases.

What hours of the day does she cook and does she use a lot of salt? Gotta watch the pressure you know :D

Whoa awesome how he just landed the mechat on the floor there and on the same page there is a more advanced looking mechat which sakaguchi said others would be in the game, but I wonder if you can pilot those other ones too? Also man I love all the media we keep getting on this game lately I guess they going to give us new gameplay vids every friday from now on up until release :D

I don't play too many JRPGs but don't you think they should have all the characters walk along with the main character when your in free roam mode, instead of just only in battle.

C'mon it's nex gen

That is not a question of power, it is a design choice.

God no 5 characters walking around that would not only be against all rpgs ever created, but it would just be annoying. For one they would all walk in a striaght line, which would look weird, if they didnt walk in a striaght line they would get lost and stuck on objects. My god it would be hell lol.

If they walk like your comrades in GRAW it would be awesome, but if this has been the tradition of JRPGs, then alright, I won't argue it.

in graw they take up tactical positions. Since this isnt about stealth I think it would just look weird more than anything. I agree it doesnt add to the realism having 1 guy turn into 5 but its the way it has always been done. And it works.

FF8 had charcters run round behind your main charcter and that worked fine.

Doesn't matter either way really.
