i liked blue dragon a lot. the first disc was kinda bleh but it picks up towards the end, and the 2nd and 3rd discs are 1000% better. well worth 12 bucks


975g on this game is impressive... it's stingy with it's achievements!

The story kinda sucks and the whole game has that kiddie vibe, but I did enjoy it. There was a real derth of rpgs when I was playing through and it helped tide me over. The job system appealled to my OCD tendencies and the battle system was solid if unremarkable. I paid about $10 for it a few years ago and its worth that, IMO.

And wow, 975 gamer pts?! That's some serious time comittment....

I loved this game. Yes, hearing Shu yell "I won't give up" a million times made me want to stab him in the face, but other than that it was fine (if juvenile). Being able to configure skills to have two characters specializing in both black AND white magic helped a lot. Reminded me a lot of the early Final Fantasy games with how straightforward the customization is. It's probably the first RPG I've finished since Chronotrigger. lol

The opinions in this thread match what I've considered this game to be: a fence. I admit I played the demo when it was first released and was unimpressed, but I'm quite hardcore with Japanese RPGs and I'm willing to give Sakaguchi the benefit of the doubt that I'll find some degree of justification for $13.00.

Because I paid $50 for it and I have an achievement addiction.

Bottom line is, the game sucks, and sucks bad. I have no reason to lie about it. There was never a moment when I thought it had picked up or had become "more fun". But then again, that's just my opinion and obviously some people will find this game extremely enjoyable.

But they would be wrong.

Wish i had picked that up, myself : /

Feel the same way about Conan for the 360. Lot of bad feedback on it but I picked it up for $10 at Circuit City and I really ended up enjoying it.

I would kill to have the time some of you people have, unfortunately, I have a job and a life, so I don't have 100 hours to kill on a game just so people who don't even know me think I'm an elite gamer...
Why don't you develop a crack addiction?
It's way cooler than achievements, seriously, do it...

I can understand that, but at the same time, I'll only go for achievements if the time they take to get is reasonable, and I enjoy the game I'm playing. To each his own though.

Anyone who likes JRPG's at all and doesnt own this Fails at being a JRPG gamer.

Such an amazing Old school RPG.

No, I usually love them but..
-the main character said "I won't give up" waaay too much
-costumes were very familiar
-dialogue was lame
-story was lame (shark attacks my hometown, we go after it, end up in some evil guy's plane, eat glowing orbs, then i'm not sure what the point is after we crash)
-characters were bland
-same old combat; the class system didn't help

EDIT:
Oh and the characters (who were supposed to be 16 I think) looked like they were 9

well I noticed it's actually sold out, but you can pick up Blue Dragon at amazon for 14.99 now. I just ordered that along with Fable 2 for $60 total.

I also enjoyed this game, for the price it is worth picking up

I really thoroughly enjoyed this game. The characters are kinda cheesy but in a good way. Anyone who doesn't like MaruMaru gets a punch in the face. For those of you calling the story dumb, just keeping playing until you get to Jibral. It really takes off from there and it'll go by in a flash (8-12 hours in.)

For the Achievement Whores out there:

Achievement Unlocked: You'll never get laid.
50,000 points.

I've hated JRPGs all my life. Despised them. I've really been enjoying Blue Dragon though. I'm part way through disc 2/3 and haven't gotten bored. I love the fact that you can see an enemy and elect to take them on or not. I hate the JRPGs where you're just walking along then all of a sudden a frickin battle happens and you have no real way of preventing it.

I got Blue Dragon for $9.99 from Fred Meyer when they were clearancing several games. For $20 or less, this is a must-own in my opinion. I never thought I'd see myself post something positive regarding a JRPG. Next thing you know we'll have a black guy as President!

Same. But to each his own I guess. Not everyone enjoys the same type of games. What's stupid to one person may be fun to another.

I love JRPGs, i seriously have not ran into one that i know of where i actually HATED the game.

Infact the only RPG i ever played that i didnt like was Shadow Madness *and im talking about with RPG's in general*

Now Kindgom Hearts i dont think are RPG's, are they? i mean they are but there action adventure type like Zelda. and i never cared for either series. *I KNOW, WTF right?*


I wish i would of got this game. oh well

on a side note if you have a gamecrazy in your area this game at mine was 9.99 and b1g1 free
