Mistwalker keeps releasing new medias of Blue Dragon, released today in Japan, with these maps of the first few game zones, some monsters artworks and two short videos.
hahahha what a cool minigame seriously sakaguchi is the man!!
I now see the real reason he made it no random battles and why there is so much to find in the game. He wants people to feel free to explore like crazy. If there were random battles then people wouldn't be so open for taking risks with exploring.

i knew this game would own! i just knew it hahaa
I knew sakaguchi wouldn't let us down :)
Also I must also give artoon some credit they did an amazing job. I praise sakaguchi so much that I completely forget to give artoon the credit they deserve as they played a crucial role in the game's completion.
I'm going to love when this game comes to the usa. Like I would love for them to have the original japanese voices on there, but I'm worried disc space may end up preventing them from including both on the disc :(
Yea... I know its quite possible that I will have seen far more of this game than I wished to have seen by the time it comes to the usa and that makes me rather sad, but I just can't help it!!
I mean for one such cool exploration, the awesome minigames should all be things we get surprised by. Japan is priority for this baby so they'll be able to experience it before too much of the game's content leaks. I'll be shocked beyond belief if this game doesn't do well in Japan.
i wish truelly wish that square enix would release the old ff games onto xbox live market place :D for the arcade games(there not arcade games but still WOOT!) it would be great and there not that big anyway (data wise) they would make a KILLING!
I really hope they buy it... I know japanese love the ps3 even more the wii, but in the moment if ur looking for next gen rpg, 360 have a couple on there way. Nintendo are not strong in jrpg and ps3.... Final Fantasy wont be release till 2008 and White knight, maybe in end 2k7 (If they want Enchanted Arm, they can get it on 360).
So hope they go crazy on blue dragon so Mystwalker can give us more love :)
The game looks awesome, Im really looking forward to it. Although I hope they remove THAT HORRIBLE NARRATOR voice. Things like that will get me so nervous that the gameplay will be totally ruined :(
Been playing it for about 5 hours now, the game really is much better than I had anticipated and I was looking forward to it.
I will say that the game wasnt flying off the shelves when I was picking up my copy at yodobashi-akiba today though. I was rather disappointed by that as the game is definantly hyped and they had all the promotions running for it. Granted it was 11am, which is before lunch break. But still, they had walls of bundle sets and boxes of games just sitting there. I saw all of 5 core bundles and maybe 8 copies of the game go in the time it took me to buy my copy.(20 minutes.) May seem fast, but thats very slow for the store I was in.I just hope the wall in shibuya does a lot better.
Why Blim would you want to get the game in Japanese if you don't understand Japanese? It seems like you would be ruining the entire game story, and everything about the game... :|

The actual gameplay does match the cg scenes, so smooth
I wonder when this will release in europe?
Commented on 2006-12-07 13:46:44People over at GAF have been saying it's like the FF of old
Commented on 2006-12-07 14:14:25please SE do that for little old me :D
Commented on 2006-12-07 14:27:02I haven't even played FF1 but it sounds like a good idea for some reason.
Commented on 2006-12-07 14:38:50Blue Dragon lived up to the hype.

Commented on 2006-12-07 14:42:49I guess we'll have to check out the Japanese sales next week :D
Commented on 2006-12-07 14:57:46So hope they go crazy on blue dragon so Mystwalker can give us more love :)
