ClaudeLv250 - How much of Blue Dragon did you play?

I played the Blue Dragon demo and thought it was crap. Now, I'm totally biased against JRPGs almost as a rule because I find the whole turn thing to be silly... BUT, I also played the Eternal Sonata demo and even though I would never buy that either, it was superior on every level (again, based on the demo). As soon as I had to fight my fifth pink "poo snake" I was done with Blue Dragon.

And Lost Odyssey was the game where one long-haired clean-shaven character was wearing pink sunglasses and another long-haired clean-shaven character was wearing a scarf, correct? If the shooters with a bald space marine protagonist are getting old (and they are), what about turn-based RPGs with feminized/androgynous male protagonists?

 

I played the Blue Dragon demo and didn't like it either. I played the Eternal Sonata demo and enjoyed it thoroughly. I bought both games and now the opposite is true. I loved Blue Dragon and I have finished the game. Eternal Sonata is a different matter. The game isn't bad, but I just not having that much fun with it. Demo's aren't always good indicators of the final product.
