Blue Dragon is an RPG for the Xbox 360 which is gaining popularity here in the states, but it’s main audience of Japan will get to experience the complete game on Thursday as its Japanese launch date approaches. One of the main reasons that the 360 had such a dismal launch across the Pacific is due to not releasing with a strong RPG firmly in tow. Microsoft is hoping that this, along with other recently popular Japanese releases such as Dead Rising, will finally get their system into gamers’ homes.
Below is the opening cinematic for Blue Dragon. You’ll notice that it is a little different from many other RPGs as you can actually walk around and interact with the environment while the opening credits are rolling.
