Microsoft's effort to gain a foothold in Japan is further aided by the release of the latest screenshots for the new and noteworthy Role Playing Game, Blue Dragon.
The game received a lot of attention at the Tokyo Game Show and is supposed to be the latest magic potion, set to do what the previous potions haven't been able to accomplish (conquer the land of the rising sun).
Not being an RPG player, the game still looks entertaining to me. The graphics, while not seemingly next-gen, look totally appropriate for the genre and are impressive in their own way.
Famed game producer Hironobu Sakaguchi of Mistwalker game studio and developer Artoon present the highly anticipated Xbox 360-exclusive “Blue Dragon.” Featuring the character design of Akira Toriyama, who designed “Dragon Ball Z,” and music by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for “Final Fantasy,” “Blue Dragon” is an epic role-playing game (RPG) centered on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends. These unlikely heroes possess miraculous strength and magical power to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters.
