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
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Please dont argue with that if they did, keep in mind we' re on Kikizo, breeding ground of Shenmue 3 and Dreamcast 2 rumours
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

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)

Lan Di' s Gay! thats the twist in S3, and Ryo is too, they realise that after all the fighting, suddenly they want to settle down together, get a dog called Adam and adpot a lawnmover!

Kikizo has spoken.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

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.
