An epic RPG from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi that follows the journey of three friends: Shu, Kluke and Jiro, as they use newfound magical powers to challenge the evil, tyrannical wizard Nene in the hopes of ending his wrath of terror and destruction forever.
Overview
Blue Dragon is a game with some heavy duty pedigree. Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu (Both the creator of Final Fantasy and composer of Final Fantasy Music respectively) are at the helm with Character designs by Akira Toriyama, well known for his work in Dragon Ball Z.Blue Dragon is a RPG for the Xbox 360 centered around the adventures of a 16 year old boy named Shu, his friends, and their Shadows which can materialize at will in the forms of powerful monsters to do battle with their enemies. The primary goal in the game is to stop the villainous and extremely old Nene from further plaguing the world with his evil. He can be described as someone almost solely responsible for all the worlds ills, and has been doing so in his Flying Fortress of Doom since a distant era in the forgotten past.
In Classic RPG fashion you take a band of unlikely heroes and progress through successfully difficult waves of foes collecting Items, Experience, and Cut scenes along the way. Characters Shadows can be devolved along several different ‘Jobs’ or branches of expertise such as Sword Master, Monk, Assassin, Guardians, Generalists, White Magic Users, Black Magic Users, Support Magic Users, and Barrier Magic Users. All of which have different roles, and all of which can unlocked be used as the game progresses. It is a single player game with no multiplayer component.Battle System
Battles play out in a system where each combatant gets a place on a queue starting with the fastest and moving down to the slowest. They each act in turn, and when they complete an action they move to the bottom of the queue. They may act again when everyone else has a turn. Actions you can do in combat include a ‘ Charge’ action, which is essentially charging up and delaying an immediate response for a more powerful one later on. Other actions in combat include the traditional Strike (A basic attack), Defense (to help minimize damage taken that turn), a Skill move (such as Stealing monsters items), Spells (Using some magic to hurt or heal for example), Items (Such as potions that buff, heal , debuff, etc), changing formation (moving a character up to do more damage or back to fortify defense), and the ever classic ‘Flee’ (Just trying to run away entirely).
Anime & Manga
Blue Dragon has an Anime composing of 51 episodes that follow the basic premise of the game but with an expanded storyline and additional characters not found in the game itself.
