It's worth your time to play Blue Dragon if you don't mind a weak story and prefer a strong battle system. If instead you are looking for a strong story, you won't find it in Blue Dragon. One review I saw over at RPGfan.com, by Kyle Miller, said, "Overall, Blue Dragon offers an above average, traditional RPG, though only the superb gameplay puts it over the mark of the uninspired and average."
I know I have tried 2 different times to get into it, but so far I haven't had much luck, even though I prefer a strong battle system. This was Mistwalker's first RPG, and while I really liked Lost Odyssey, it took me 2 times to really like Lost Odyssey. So it will just take me more times to get into Blue Dragon. But that's me.
If you don't mind spending the cash to get a copy, I think you should play it and try out the battle system. The fighting is turn-based, so if you like traditional RPG fun, you'll probably like it. Here on Giant Bomb 9 users gave it 4 stars.
