well, i finished the first DVD, it took me 23 hours, that's because i got stuck in a pair of points of the game, i don't know a simple word in japanese =P , and i didn't play it in a rush, i wanted to taste its flavour, and oh god, this game it pretty awesome. can't wait to get the european version!!

70,000 on day 1? That's awesome. This game deserves it!
Finished disc 1 at around 13:30. Still liking the game. Boss fights are awesome and if you plan your job/skills correctly most finished under 2 mins. Normal fights are still a bit zzz since the enemies are easy and don't do much damage. Looking forward to the normal fights picking up in challenge.
Disc 1 also had some really cool areas to counter the zzz areas that trin is talking about. Hopefully disc 2/3 consist more of the interesting locations than the other.
Personally I think they should have released this in the summer, rather than the winter with a dozen other really top class games out. Hopefully LO improves from the messy demo into something of BD's quality, because it's likely to be the only big rpg summer 2007 and that'd be a huge selling chance for Mistwalker.

Amazing.
Can you tell there are self-shadows when you walk around Bebpo? It's hard to see it in the screens.

I agree. But as a low-budget From Soft. game [EM] holds up really well to a 25 million dollar rpg

I'm pretty sure there's no self-shadowing in real-time gameplay or cutscenes. Also even though there is non pop-up for gameplay objects, there is a lot of daytona USA saturn style pop-up for shadows. You'll walk towards a building and suddenly the shadow will appear, take a step back and it disappears. Not really an issue at all but it's a bit funny when it happens.

Such a beautiful game. The colour palette is just gorgeous, so vibrant!
Shoho said:
Yeah, it's a nice B-level rpg. The battle system is great and the environments are really stunning at times. The story is generic-total, but the cast is likeable. Dungeons are pretty good, and it's a nice length at about 40 hours + secrets. Visually, geometery is still a bit blocky and BD kicks its ass in that department, but [EM] has a lot of really nice texture work and some great HDR lighting. For a first effort in the rpg category by the Otogi team it's very much a success.

when i got to that village, i felt a Zelda the Wind Waker vibe, the style of the living-paintings reminded me a lot of that Zelda, beautiful. as i got impressed with the effect of broken walls there too.
eM, is a "solid" RPG, B-Level, as Bebpo said, however it's the first FromSoftware's JRPG, so it's a nice start for them.. anyway.. I WANT MY OTOGI 3!!!! (don't wanna even waste my words asking for BC for Otogi I & II...)
Blue Dragon is really beautiful, i've never seen such a water... and the models for the castle, rooms, halls, inns, stores, houses, camps, etc.. don't have much to envy to Oblivion

Does it live up to the Famitsu score and the hype surrounding the game now that you're done with the first disc?

And to expand on that, can you (please, please, please) make a long post about the all of the game's aspects and how they compare to other games etc.?
I take it, from your posts, that there are no puzzles....which frightens me, just a little bit. Is it just battle after battle after battle, which is perfectly fine for a linear RPG if the story and characters are worth caring about but you said that the characters are as developed as those of FFIII....

Where can I order that CD? Import?
Finally started playing over the weekend.
I will say though that Blue Dragon is definitely pushing 360 units here. I was surprised one of my co-workers picked up a 360 just for this game. And this guy hasnt bought or played games in years (he's played old DQ/FF). I mean how crazy is that? I'm sure there were others who bought it for the same reason.

Do you guys think 70K in one day good over there (in JPN) for a new RPG IP? Perosnally, it sounds like a pretty solid number for what BD is anyways, but I'd still like to ask others of their thoughts.
Will it even pick up? Will it sell 20K tomorrow? Will it sell 10K the next day? What's the pattern going to be, if there even is one?

Likes to have "friends" around to "play cards" with
70k on first day? I hope that translate into 200k sales down the line.

In the screenshots you can tell the game looks absolutely solid. The artwork in the game looks amazing too.
It makes me want to see old school games remade with the same visual fidelity that Blue Dragon has.

If it was a PS2 RPG = 140k on first day? (just wondering about people's opinions)
Hmm..
Why is everyone suddenly praising eM??
Like, when I had it..when it was released (along with the bundled comic book)...everyone hated it..said it was generic and a Pokemon ripoff...(even tough I liked it..also liked the fact that one of the 3 main charatcers was openly ..albeit cliched and exagerated...gay)
So, is eM..cool now??
