Oh, this won't make fanboys happy

Blue Dragon only gets a 6 from Gamespot.

But - but - this was suppose to be Final Fantasy on the 360!

Oooo, HARSH. I'm suddenly glad I didn't pre-order it or anything...

Yeah - I kept thinking "Hm, maybe".

Right now I'm hoping that Eternal Sonata is ported over to the PS3 (since, if things go right, I'll order one this weekend) - otherwise, I guess I can wait a year.

So wait it sucks?

Last I heard of it it was a 'solid but so very cliche :V' game.

I'll probably rent it from Gamefly but the game, based on the demo I played, is so incredibly by the books that it's sad. It goes back to a time where everything was cliche and grinding was the way of the world.

aka: If you like masochism, you'll love this game!

OH, you *know* I'm a macho, macho man. Where my sweat falls, hair grows in the concrete.

It was made to be a generic-as-hell JRPG (with Akira Toriyama stylings) so as to help sell the console in Japan. And it did a better job of that than anything else has. So, hey, mission semi-accomplished.

It's not Sakaguchi's continuation of Final Fantasy; that's Lost Odyssey. This is... well, sort of a follow-up to Chrono Trigger. Except more deliberately conservative.

Awfully flashy, though. Very nice presentation.

When you say deliberately conservative - are you talking in lacking cool original ideas, or politically? Just asking.

Can't win em all, I guess.
