Again, to be fair and defend Blue Dragon -
I think the core problem that the reviewers are having is the fact that Blue Dragon isn't really trying to break the mold of the uber-RPGs such as Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. It's basically a hybrid of both (DQ style, FF job system/exp system).
Therefore, if your desiring a JRPG blockbuster that breaks the mold and has totally new fresh gameplay not seen in other JRPGs - you must look elsewhere. However, from what I've seen of the demo, if you are a fan of DQ, FF, and the likes, your going to enjoy the game alot. I so got flashbacks to my first playthrough of Final Fantasy 6 and 7 when I played BD. So for me, it's a must-buy.
I'll have a critical anaylsis of Blue Dragon done in about 2 weeks.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
