this game is shaping up good. hm, a 3-dvds jrpg. that is something of a record, right? maybe alot of CG-FMVs or a fully orchestral soundtrack taking up space?

^LoL, like playing national geographic nih, checking animal's dropping
anyway, from the screenshots the hero looks like a boy, but the purple villain looks like a grumpy oldman. blue chrono dragon quest is gonna sell lots in JP!

May release! for the impatient ones getting it nxt week, there's always gamefaqs to help with translation

Blue Dragon NTSC/J Asian released on Dec 7th is jpn voice + jpn subs. maybe the manual have english+chinese insets

NTSC/UC will release in May - Eng/? voice + Eng subs! most probably region-free on NTSC/J machines


haha, the above is pure guestimation/speculation

wow, that "Zola with shadow" gashapon is very nice!

not quite sure what kinda beast is her shadow. some sort of hybird gargoyle-polar bear??

it possible they will be 2 versions of Asian release. an early pure Jpn release (note the "Japanese Version" on cover's bottom left), and another one when NTSC/UC officially translated.

anyway, ori Asian versions jrpgs have been in full japanese for the past 15 yrs or so [eM] Asian is truly an unique version, too bad it got lousy sales

haha, i realise a loophole at P-A preorder liao. when u preorder it cheap, P-A will sell to u cheap and not the finalised mark-up price (eg. USD39.90 vs USD49.90)

hehe, actually i think MS is giving their otakus choices:

- if u really impatient & want to experience the game, u can have it now (Asian release with jpn voice +jpn subs) some gameplay impressions indicate this game is not overly difficult. so playing/finishing the game with some gamefaqs help is very possible.

- or wait for the translated NTSC/UC version (Eng voice + subs) in a few months time

erm, this Asian release is region-locked, and yet demand must be hot!? cos P-A goreng the price to USD49.90

hehe, MS japan may rename/relaunch their console as BlueDragon Box1080. that way, can easily outsell ps3 in jpn ler

btw, yjtay still on Disc1? when u r on the next disc, can borrow ur Disc1?

haha, thanks to another forumer pointing out this site. if the info is correct, only 4 months plus till the NTSC/J Asian Chinese release

i'm pretty sure it supports both Chi/Eng subtitles - similar to MS published Every Party & Ninety-Nine Nights. now the question is what voice track will it include?

lets see what happens when main buta2 the jpn version.

new game -> playable! CG! playable! CG! realtime screen-tearing cutscene! CG! playable! checkpoint! game over! LoL restart fr checkpoint! CG! cutscenes! CG! playable!.......... haha

1st hr impressions

grafix - nice & clean, can enlarge text for 480i. imagine DQVIII + [eM]
CG - done by ROBOT whose masterpieces usually grace capcom games
music - old skool rpg-tunes, the announcer voice is not that irritating
gameplay - so far very traditional rpg mechanics

at least the chi-eng manual is helpful enough to get started. somehow got stuck with the 1st boss any special trick to defeating it, yjtay? me only lvl5, keep dying and kenot find antidote for poison gamefaqs, hurry up

stuck at this boss

jpn hints page


this is at the back of the box;

kluke cosplayer+booth gal +inflatable dragon FTW

haha, so many posters mention the game is easy, yet i keep game-over. i cincai rank the shadows+skills. LoL, i like to fight boss & sub-boss without too much healing and kena tapau all the time

yjtay, are u taking notes and making a mini-walkthrough plus kanji translation? can submit to gamefaqs or ign ler, they'll credit u for ur work

i tried to put in disc3 and load a save from disc1, then the machine hang!? aiyoh, some neogaf poster bluff me say that way the dvd-rom will spin slower & quieter

the asian version has a slightly different cover (no cero logo) + chi/eng manual. both version should work on Asian NTSC/J set.

not waiting for the chi/eng subtitles version coming mar-may?

haha, very good semangat u have there. i oso wonder how the development of the BD sequel is going on. i think cell-shading (ala DQVIII) makes toriyama designs more attractive & alive. kluke's big eyes + big head 3D model is somewhat kinda creepy, LoL

here's a family photo of BD and its obscure sony-sponsored brother

that's nice, so u basically understand the dialogue in the cutscenes marumaro voice acting is the best how long did u take to reach disc 2 - around 18hrs? i'm kinda struggling with the dungeons, alot of time spend buta2 backtracking


wah, international school kids nowadays very adept at picking up languages

i heard the game should be 35 hrs if u dont get lost or level up highhigh to fight those secret powerful bosses. so 12 hrs sounds perfect.

i'm only 6 hrs, but game-overed many times liao. i need to understand the shadow categories & skills for more smooth sailing. do u know the bari-barrier spell? which logo/category isit?

iloveredapples, since u are new to the forums, may i remind u that u can EDIT ur posts, so u dont need to posts consecutively.

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessag...&topic=32370967

bari-barrier lets u instantly kill weaker enemies when u encounter them w/o actually fighting in them. i think it'll be useful for disc2 onwards to avoid repetitive battles with weak enemies. but so far i just pass the undersea cave, i find the enemies are tough enough for me. the weaker ones will usually escape b4 u encounter them.



i'm at lvl 13, taking my sweet time

nth yet available for d/load at marketplace. u can check gamefaqs board for the lastest updates.
