This game has all the makings of a new RPG classic. Atleast when it comes down to the names of the developers (even besides Sakaguchi).

Being that I'm one of the few people who dislike Sakaguchi's games (and think FF6 is EXTREMELY overrated), pass.

"shotmaker:Who can bare to stare at these rubber stamped dolls for the duration of an epic RPG?"
I can! This game looks better and better every screenshot. I hope in battle graphics are close to these shots. I hope it's a turn based RPG too."
Agreed. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. Come to the US! Please! Oh yeah, and shotmaker, why don't you do that then? Akira Toriyama is a bajillionaire and super famous. If it were that easy, then do it!

Toriyama needs to take a few drawing lessons or just stop working. All someone would need to do is make some game with his art that had a character editor, you can change hight, pick the weight (normal, skinny, or real big and round), include all the standard issue Toriyama parts like bandanas, goggles, vests, spikey hair, pulled back hair or bald, and of course the face is unalterable, and then Toriyama would be out of the business. Who can bare to stare at these rubber stamped dolls for the duration of an epic RPG?

One more title and I'll have a reason to buy a 360...
wait, is this going to be stateside? I hope so. If not, then axe the first part of this comment.
Oh, and in case someone is wondering...
Enchant Arms
Too Human
Blue Dragon (if US)
Dead Rising
Oblivion
Once all those games are out and stateside, I'll buy a 360... but only after I've bought my Wii.

yeah, I hate the promo screen shots too.. want to make a game look sweet? ok give it good graphics and show us actual pictures, not this crap lol. I'm hoping it'll resemble picture one in game :)

Some kinda gameplay shot would be nice... unless the game really does play with slanted camera angles alongside exiting text covering the screen!

I mean I wanna see some battle screenshots. Everything looks great. Also, does anyone know if you get a party, or if it's just the main character you control?

bounchfx 9.19.2006 at 10:30:56 AM
uh, sirsnif.. I'm pretty sure if they were going CGI straight up it would look a hell of a lot better and smoother. I can easily see at least half of those pictures up there being in game. some are just assets in a script or set up for the shot yes, but um.
have you seen gears of war?

i'm thinking the first screen might be in-game. It's obviously not real gameplay, but it looks like it could be actual battle graphics, minus all the menus.
Overall I think the game looks neat (of course I like Toriyama). This is probably the most interesting looking Xbox game I've seen.

This looks very promising. If it's even close to as good as Chrono trigger it will do well in Japan. Chrono Trigger is in the top 10 of all time best console RPG's.

When are we gonna see some actual gameplay screens? So far, all MW has released is good looking CGI.

Looks a MUSTBUY for 360 Owners... With the development of Sakaguchi, and Uematsu Music, we'll have (i hope) an excelent game

msz, I've had that happen before where I don't like characters at first, but then due to the story and characterization I could wind up loving the character.
this sounds like.. wait, what? real life.
I don't know about you guys but when I see someone I get an impression of how they are from what they look like, everything after that is built by what they say and do. There have been plenty of people I've met where at first i'm like um.... but then after getting to know them its like fux yeah /hug.
anyone know what I mean?
I like the main char in Blue Dragon, but I'm not sure about the bandana chick. and that weird short thing. It seems like Akira reuses a lot of ideas.. still sweet though, it's a style of his own

I might be the only who doesn't like the artwork.
I generally don't like Toriyama's main protagonists depicted as kids. Case in point: DQVII. I didn't like the main party characters at all. Unfortunately, Blue Dragon doesn't seem to be the exception for me. Sorry Toriyama, sorry 360.

Awesome. this is my justification for getting a 360. Gears of War doesnt Hurt either. Alog with a handful of other things and the arcade.
and that one guy in the green is so great saiyaman jr.

Xbox 360 sales spiked in Japan at the likes of Ninety-Nine Nights. Blue Dragon should fare much better, and reach at least the figures of your standard PS2 RPGs. Looks very interesting, and according to a recent most wanted list in Famitsu, the Japanese have noticed the game too despite it being on Xbox 360.

bounchfx 9.18.2006 at 10:02:49 PM
I'm pissed it's hitting japan this year and not US, but whatever, I'm hoping for a demo on the MP during TGS.
Are those in game screens? looking sick if so.
and in case people don't realize. the last time these people worked together they made Chrono Trigger =P

We still haven't gotten much information on this game at all, which makes me upset. It looks really promising.

This game has some sweet style, it's a shame that it's most likely going to flop over in the land of the rising J-Rocker.

I'd like to know more about the battle system the game uses. This game is a large reason for my wanting a 360.
