Apart from staggering under the hefty title of the "game that is going to save 360 in Japan," Blue Dragon is also a rather stunning-looking RPG, as this clip of the combat system in action demonstrates.
Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, themind behind the first editions of the Final Fantasy series, the game harnesses the same traditional elements of orthodox turn-based encounters, random battle and wailing guitar solos, while also adding next-gen graphics and spectacular effects. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Enjoy this footage while you can because, while Blue Dragon is released with a Wii-spoiling December 7th date in Japan, it looks like we will have to wait quite some time to see a converted and translated version over here.
