Blue Dragon does NOT require grinding at all on normal mode. I never once had to grind to beat anyone in the game. Its a fantastic RPG and has a great kid-friendly atmosphere. The soundtrack by Uematsu is magnificent. Sakaguchi's followup in Lost Odyssey was also incredible. Essentially, BD is a hybrid of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series. The combat system is very intuitive and if played on hard, provides a ton of depth to play and beat major bosses. Kameo was a lot of fun for an adventure game. Certainly a gem from the X360 launch.
*edit* I didn't see it mentioned, but Tropico 3 is a stellar strategy game. Its kind of like Sim City for Hugo Chavez. You build and run your own island nation as you see fit. You control everything from resource acquisition to the military. |
Cool. I'll see if I spot EDF2017 for cheap then. I'm willing to give it a look on that recommendation. And your summary of Blue Dragon makes it look far more appealing. I like both FF and DQ, after all. :D
As for Tropico 3, I already have that on Steam (and like it a lot), so I can't see me buying it again, especially as I'm not sure it would be as good as the PC version, gamepads being what they are for strategy games.
