To think that Wii only launched a couple of days ago.. I wonder if the game
is actually good, or the japanese are just bonkers, or crazy for anything remotely
anime related.

I think Blue Dragon got 37/40 because of three things missing:

Sony

Final Fantasy

Square

I could be wrong though.

Yeah I don' t think Famitsu like to give perfect scores to any game without Nintendo or Squaresoft before it' s title.

Okay we all know Famitsu isn' t fair and imbalance,but to Square-enix,sony and final fantasy serie.

But let' s not forget 37/40 is a very good score.

3 gaved it 9/10 which means it was a AAA rpg,while one gaved it 10/10 which means perfect rpg in everyway.

So lets give Famitsu a break...for just some time

Please dont argue with that if they did, keep in mind we' re on Kikizo, breeding ground of Shenmue 3 and Dreamcast 2 rumours

Yeah, Soul Caliber was an awesome Fighting game so I don' t see the questioning here :P

I' ll be buying it, not because of the reviews but because I wanted it since I first saw it...so far every game Toriyama has done the art for (save the Older DBZ games) has been a classic. (Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest VIII)

Oh...this is JUST too...creepy!!

I' m hearing that bloody Twilight Zone theme over and over in my head...



ofc not the asian version since it req NTSC-J.


Playasia.com isn' t taking orders anymore, which is too bad since they have free delivery to Singapore

Also, I can' t read Japanese.

I' ll be waiting for the NTSC-J with English subtitles version to hit Singapore, when I get it for Christmas, or something, I' ll tell you about the game...

First day sales (excluding the bundle) hit 40,000. So 40,000 copies of the game, the 10,000 pre-sold limited edition bundle and then however many bundles were sold at retail on the day. Pretty good numbers for 360 in Japan. Better than i expected.

On PS2?! Yeah, it sold 200,000 on it' s first day. Still, 50,000+ is superb for a 360 game and while Microsoft will never make waves in Japan it' s good to see the game being picked up by the Japanese.
