Enchanted Arms was generic Blue Dragon was generic and a pretty big disappointment Heard Eternal Sonata was pretty good but only played demo Lost Odyssey has frame rate issues and what not but it doesn't break the game at all unlike some other games i.e.Killzone |
Bull. Blue Dragon was a good game as long as you could stomach the generic chars and storyline. The game pacing got pretty damn good the last two disks, the toriyama monster designs are as usual excellent (it's a pitty their engine didn't support facial animations) and the ending setting makes the lack of a BD2 a damn shame. | Not only were BDs characters generic, they were also pretty annoying especially Maromaro. Zola wasn't bad but that didn't make up for anything |
I found Marumaru fun, but that's probably because it's the only character which isn't just a puppet spouting lines. He was totally cilche, tho.
The game had great strengths tho: no random encounters, you could interact with the monsters on the field (in several ways!), the barrier mechanic gave a good reason to revisit zones, toripo was fun to meet (the final revelation about him is so funky) and I am repeating myself but the setting of the world at the end of the game makes me hungry for BD2, specially if you consider that the final dungeon was nothing but awesome. IMHO, besides the characters/story the only thing the game needed was a good crafting system.
And as it has been stated, mistwalker got things rolling jrpg-wise on the 360 and since the console is so unpopular there the gooch had to take the hit of two games with sub 250k sales in japan with his name big on the game's credits. They deserve at least another shot or two =(
