After Thoughts

Blue Dragon - as we all know by now - is the comeback RPG for the team of Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama, and Nobuo Uematsu. The three previously produced the hit RPG Chrono Trigger. Anyway, I found Blue Dragon to be a rather endearing traditional RPG; the controlled real-timed combat was a nice change. The graphics, while a little juvenile, were simply amazing and very well-done; although, the frame rate was lacking, perhaps they should of made it 60 fps. The music ranged from lame to mediocre to very touching. The camera was quite annoying, you have to be in the mid-ground of the screen or your character will blur. Also, it was a little weird to dig through poo for treasure. Over all, I found Blue Dragon to be a fun little RPG.
