Enchanted Arms is a pretty good game. It's nothing really "wow", but it's the best jRPG on a Microsoft console ever, so I was extra happy right there.
Of course, looks like Blue Dragon is better....?

Yeah, same. I pretty much downplayed his skill after he did like 10 tracks in Final Fantasy X. Really unimpressive stuff, plus his music in Advent Children wasn't the best either.
Blue Dragon has really good music, but what really impressed me was how in disc 2 there's a certain piece of composition representing a certain theme that is then used with different instrument and samples in different areas so it sounds totally different musically but yet reminds you constantly of its root source. Wow I dunno if that made any sense at all, but in short: I think the music is really good!

Bebpo,
What type of TV are you using there?

More like 30-40, but whatever -- HIS ffx work is probably his weakest in the series.
anyway - Uematsu is one of the best composers. Not overrated at all. He deserves it all.
Jonnyram said:I dunno if anyone else has posted this in this thread, but Konami is supposedly making a Blue Dragon TCG next year. This gets me thinking... it would be so weird if Square Enix ends up making a BD game. Maybe they could make a shitty action game with it or something
Is the Konami game for the 360?

-eM- is a nice looking game, definitely underrated and overlooked. The running animations looked a bit stiff though. I love the animations in Blue Dragon.

Very nice. The XBR CRT's are bad ass.
Those images look great.

I'll get back to you when I've played more. At this point I think I'll just finish it (it's looking like 40-50 hours right now; which would be like 80 hours for those who took 20+ to finish disc 1) and then do a full write up. It's really hard to tell whether the character development will be good or not. There's been a lot of gameplay with very little character/story and then there's been chunks with A LOT non-stop. There are parts where the game feels boring and I'm reading GAF threads while tapping A on the controller with 1 finger without even looking at the screen, and there are parts that have been totally charming and I love talking to every NPC at the moment. Really mixed bag of game, so it's pretty hard to judge until it's all said and done.

Sounds like your forum addiction is interfering with your enjoyment of a good game. Turn your computer off until you finish Blue Dragon.

Your tone of voice frightens me about the game......It doesn't seem like it's anything special....
But I'll just wait until you finish it.....by....Friday (which is Thurday in the US)?
haha, dont' mean to rush you or anything

Bebpo said:No actually, GAF gets me through easy dungeon battles in a lot of rpgs. It's very helpful
For me personally, one usually trumps the other. I have to immerse myself entirely into one thing at a time or I can't fully enjoy things. I also obsess alot but that is another topic of discussion entirely.

Heh, I'm giving myself until the 21st to finish it since once I get the Japanese MGS Portable Ops I'm dropping everything else to play that. But I'll probably finish it sooner than that. EDF3 co-op might delay it a bit

I want to know all about EDF3. MGS.....not so much. But EDF3 is around the top of my list, so I definitely wanna hear something about that.

Give us some impressions of EDF, I've never played a game in that series before. It looked kind of......weird to me, you know, the earlier iterations (on the PS2, right?).
You mentioned the Lost Odyssey demo....that was disgusting. I waited 2 hours for that just to play the demo....that was only 10 minutes long. The graphics were nice, but everything else was meh. However, for the time being, I was pleased with just the graphics, and that made me happy.
The blue dragon demo was very fullfilling on the other hand. I really like the clean look of the game which seems to hold up in the images you posted.

MPO totally owns, but you gotta finish BD first. For the good of GAF!

Oooooh. Still 27K 360's in one day is awesome!!!! Way better than 1K a week (1-2 months ago) and also way better than 6K a week (recently). 27K in one day!!! That's better than what Europe did in a single week of 360 sales this month (25K). Yay!!!
My exuberance will hopefully not die out....because I'm sure the only day it's going to sell this many consoles is....today......hopefully next week sees nice numbers but as it stands........
Good luck 360 in JPN!

200K for the game, counting sales of the game alone and in the bundle.dirtmonkey37 said:200K of what? The bundle, hardware sales alone, or the game itself? Just wondering
I've finished the Maru-Maro's village arc yesterday, the water temple had some of the best music I've ever heard in a videogame. Just plain beautiful.

Hopefully. I hope the game does well and moves some hardware while it's at it.
Why? Because I want to see FF vii-make (read: eff eff veee make; it's supposed to mean FF7 remake...get it............okayfine..) on the 360.

For a person that was (presumably) born and raised in France, your English is no different than most adults in the United States: it's excellent.
In fact, I, to this day, question whether or not you are actually from France, because the written portion of Xboxyde's English section is written with perfect English.

Really simple question and apologies as I haven't kept up with this thread:
I've seen someone previously mention that this game is very similar to a classic JRPG, like an older Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. Could anyone elaborate on that please? A basic explanation would do fine, many thanks in advance.

Picture is kinda screwed up but I like the enemy design here
Alright guys... try to chill with the screenshots of places that people who are currently playing are blatantly nowhere near, ok?
I know there's no story spoilers there, but I like surprises when I go to new areas and stuff. If you want to post them, I'd rather see links than the actual pics.
