"Hironobu Sakaguchi, the Father of the Final Fantasy series, and Artoon present the world of Blue Dragon on Xbox 360. Featuring the character design of Akira Toriyama, the Father of "Dragon Ball Z", and music by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for Final Fantasy, Blue Dragon is an epic role-playing game (RPG) centered on five youngsters who possess miraculous strength and magical power to control shadow creatures that mirror the actions of their masters." Blue Dragon follows the story of five friends (Shu, Jiro, Kluke, Zola, and Marumaro) as they travel across the world to confront Nene, the evil ruler of the Grand Kingdom. The setting inspired separate anime and manga adaptations, although these follow the story to different degrees and feature a different cast of characters. The game follows a traditional role-playing design, based around exploration and turn-based combat. The gameplay of Blue Dragon uses turn-based gameplay elements seen in older Japanese role-playing video games. The game world contains two major types of areas: towns, in which the player can rest and purchase items, and dungeon-like areas, with numerous foes to be defeated.

Blue Dragon is a classic example of a well-executed JRPG, it has everything you'd want from a wide range of classes to exciting boss fights.
I first played Blue Dragon as a kid but got stuck on one of the final bosses, I've since came back to it a few times over the years but never stuck it out. I decided to finally get through it this time and it was one hell of a ride.
It opens well but starts to slump towards the third disk section with needing to massively level other classes or just levels in general. However, if you struggle through this section you're rewarded with some of the coolest boss fights in the entire game.
Overall, I'd say if you enjoy a classic JRPG that's a little rough around the edges this is definitely a must-play.
Buena música, escenarios variopintos, diseños graciosos, personajes guays, simpáticos y tontorrones, diversidad de minijuegos, jefes satisfactorios...
Un pedazo de juego muy bueno. Una pena que no esté disponible en plataformas modernas para que lo juegue más gente. Y una pena que las secuelas no le lleguen a la altura.
Muy recomendado.
