Blue Dragon
Platform: Xbox 360
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Review Type: Looky
Version: Trailer/Magazine Scans
Blue Dragon is part of Microsoft's contingency plan for the Xbox 360. The contingency being that nobody in Japan would want their console. Check. The plan? Hire Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi to make games specifically for their console. Smart plan. Blue Dragon, is just one of the games Sakaguchi's new studio Mist Walker has in the works. The other planned for the Xbox 360 is the more realistic looking Lost Odyssey. But this game interests me more, because of the character design by Akira Toriyama -- the mangaka behind Dragon Ball. The unique juxtoposition of hyper-real envirnonments and anime styled characters should make for a visually intriguing. And dig the game's logo. It looks like the kind of hand-drawn type of title design you'd see on the cover of a pencil and paper roll playing game in the mid '80s. These guys have the otaku crowd dead in their sights.
