I can't really blame Mistwalker as they did an phenominal job on Lost Odyssey. I think Feel.plus played a giant role in that.

Although, story and game design aside (although we don't actually know who did what exactly), Blue Dragon had major problems outside of that. It was a shoddy game. Place your hate for Level 5 aside for a moment. I understand the complaints but substituting Artoon is like 8x worse.

The story in BD was trash, but the combat and job systems were stellar, some of the best this gen I'd say even.  And all RPGs should ape it's encounter system.  Nice town/dungeon design too, it really is a pretty little game.

Artoon can be hit or miss, but I thought Blue Dragon was a pretty underrated effort, especially in the west.  Easily better than Lost *yawn* Odyssey... what felt so shoddy to you exactly?

Maru Maru killed that game for me, plus it was a bit annoying that everything could be searched. Should we mention that "This is the beginning"? Other than that I thought it was fun. It was like playing an anime and the battle system was a lot of fun. I loved the art style and wouldn't mind more games being created just like it, but leave out annoying voices that can't be remedied with ENG or JPN voice overs.

I agree with you as well on Lost Odyssey. What an overrated bore of a game. That storyline came to an ultimate crawl 3/4 of the way through. I have a buddy at work who is  borrowing it right now (Yeah, sold the 360 and kept the games) and he hasn't mentioned anything about it after telling me that he got to disc 4. Same place I stopped. playing.

 

Anyways, enjoy.
