Seriously why are you even trying to argue with me. SO it was best selling RPG in Japan...you mean ONLY RPG in Japan. Come on man Japan 360 releases is never anything to get ga ga over.

As for it being a success, I think its pretty successful as selling 200k or more units on a console who's base is almost nothing is definantly good. Compare the installed base vs purchase percentage for any game on any console and I think youll find that blue dragons is among the highest.

As for it being a mistake, I disagree. The PS3 really isnt selling all that great here and although its certianly better in the numbers than the 360, I honestly think its riding on the the backward compatibility feature.(I also have a PS3 just for the record.)Going to the store day after day just leaves me disappointed with sony. Putting it on the PS3 surely would have sold a bit, but why bother is the real question. Why is it that people automatically assume that all rpg fans will buy a PS3 just because the PS2 was the console of choice?

In anycase, I only see the possibility of a sequal as good news. As well as if it has online, then having it on the 360 is even better.Not to sure how I feel about having a blue dragon mmo though. That would be a bit odd I think.

CRPG? Canadian RPG? Isn't Bioware up there?

That being said, there is a serious lack of CRPG's. Which makes me sad.

Whatever the reason, it's still really freaking funny.

Yeah, that game was slathered with Final Fantasy and Disney characters. This is not.

Im curious if the Blue Dragon anime will cause more "kids" to bug their parents into buying an X360 for them. Since thats whats on the air right now.

Even though the story is totally different...

I was wrong. The editor was friends with the creative director. It's a good read nonetheless.

But I still want to try it for myself.

Really? Damn! It's higher than I thought! The editor was complaining about the pacing. Things that should've been grandiose was not etc.

Milkman was actually intrigued by the whole "give my friend a good score so as not to offend him/her"

I know this thing is pretty common here in Asia. Is it the same or as rampant in the US? (not implying that the game rags/sites are paid off but you all get my drift).

I think the reason is Sakaguchi doesn't really want to compete with the Final Fantasy series and DQ series. He has a better shot at getting his games noticed on the 360 than on the PS3. And I think MS is the publisher of MistWalker's games for the US.

This game has TONS of mixed-reviews. I want to try it out for myself. An editor for EGM/1UP (Ok it's the Milkman) had a guest for Famitsu over his place. The Famitsu editor was playing Blue Dragon for reviewing purposes. Let's just say he wasn't replacing Final Fantasy with this anytime soon. (though he did concede that he was going to give this an 8 or something because he's friends with Sakaguchi I think).

Gooch . . . hehe!

In terms of the actual news, this can only be good. Let's hope that the *first* game does well in the US before we wet our collective pants over the next one, though.

I plan on waiting to personally play Blue Dragon before I form any opinion on its sequel, or the idea of one for that matter.

I hardly call that a successful RPG in Japan....

Kingdom Hearts II : Final Mix + sold 230,000 in 3 weeks for the PS2....
