Why did that game stay 360 exclusive? As far as I know, it never got ported to anything at all. Yet it got not one, but TWO sequels on the DS.

It wasn't the greatest game in the world, but it had art by Toriyama and a fun job system. Some decent music too. Final boss theme was done by Nobuo Uematsu.

I beat both. BD was better imo. I truly did not see the appeal in Lost Odyssey, it was very forgettable to the point where I remember almost nothing about it >_>

One of my top ten favorites. It was excellent all the way around, and for me at least, justified a 360 all by itself.

Edit: Also had an amazing boss track -

Also, I liked the twist at the end of Blue Dragon. I don't remember anything like that being pulled in LO.

Wtf how do you not remember all the extra sad ass stories and how the game makes immortality sound as fucking horrible as it probably would be?

The extra stories were definitely great but it's basically one of the only real highlights of the game to me.

Its Hironobu Sakaguchi. Of course I remember it. The guy has made stuff I like pretty much the majority of my life and Im fairly old at this point. The Last Story is a solid title too and pretty much the last console focused game hes done. Its too bad hes so focused on mobile the last 15 years.

Good idea, cool looking characters, good music (yeah fight me).

The battle system was slow and boring. And that ruined it for a lot of people.

I know it was apart of the Xbox exclusive rpg era and that's about it. I think it tried to get a bit of a Dragon Quest looking vibe, but I know basically knowing about this rpg other than it not being any good. It just seemed so forgettable and I probably watched at least a couple youtube videos about it. Other Xbox exclusives certainly were better or went to the Playstation/PC eventually.

I remember BD's King Poo superboss. Its defenses and speed make it legitimately tough.
.

"Short" battle (16+ minutes)...

"Long" battle (36+ minutes)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwwImWO3NR8
.

It reminds me of Phantasy Star II's Dark Force and FF VIII's Omega Weapon superboss.

I like Blue Dragon a lot and I would say Blue Dragon is pretty flawed. It has an EXTREMELY slow start. Disc 1 altogether is kind of a bore, and of the Disc 1 dungeons the shittiest ones are also front-loaded. So I don't blame anyone who tried the game and dropped it. The game itself isn't doing much to keep you enthralled for a while. Disc 2 is when it starts opening up a bit more and finally by Disc 3 it starts to feel like a classic RPG.

In terms of gameplay, it's not very complex. The job system is pretty cool. Listening to Deep Purple's Ian Gillan sing in every boss fight is pretty cool. It's impressive they got enough out of it to make a decently long-running anime series. But it's not underrated, or overrated. It's pretty properly rated as just a lowkey JRPG that came out that generation.

Fantasian is pretty great, I still prefer Lost Odyssey. The Dimengeon in Fantasian is brill, but the story in LO is just too good.

Lost Odyssey is the one I wanted to bring up but didn't want to sidetrack but too late now I guess. I think I woulda loved to give that a shot back then. That's one creative game. I spoiled myself on everything because I probably was never going to play it, but it is certainly an interesting piece of art and rpg.

Fantasian eh I don't see a real hook there for me. I appreciate it exists and I think the combat is creative as in you line up your shots/attacks. I haven't seen enough where I HAD to try it for myself. Storing random encounters till later while different. I'd just rather fight them in the moment despite future rewards/bonuses. Yeah, I'll uhh just stop editing this.

I've had the game for years but I only got a ways into disc 1 before dropping it. I'm a big Toriyama fan so I might try and beat it again. Graphically the game holds up pretty well
