There's now both the JP and English subbed trailers up at various resolutions for download, and an interview with Uematsu.

That little orange-yellow horned dude is cool. And I love that four-eyed tiger-thing shot everytime I see it. Really ****ing cool shit!

The game looks nice, I just don't think it'll sell well in NA...
Which is too bad.
I know it'll sell well amongst the 360 GAF people,
but too bad GAF doesn't make up the 360 core userbase.

And in Japan where the 360 is pretty much dead, I just don't think it'll fly.

This game looks so great, but the whole idea behind it's namesake (the dragon "shadows" that fight for you) is so, so stupid. :(

You know, I felt the same way until I played Dragon Quest 8. I always disliked Dragonball, but Yangus is like one of my favorite character designs. Therefore Toriyamo is a big draw for me and this is dripping in his style, especially in the monster department.

It's interesting to see which of these shots are realtime or not. I'm surprised that this one is realtime for example:

Another thing to notice is that the captures from the CG cutscenes are done straight from the encoded video (either the one in the game, or the trailer), and not from the uncompressed master.

yeah, aliasing gives it away. but even the real-time stuff looks great... makes me wonder why they bother with pre-rendered anymore.

Prerendered cutscenes are still way easier to do because they have no restrictions in what you can do or not. Some might be doable in realtime, but it would take a lot of efforts for basically nothing.
If that game is 2 or more DVD because of the cutscenes (nothing has been announced about that yet, right?) I really couldn't care less. In fact this is the type of game where finishing a disc actually feels like an achievement :)

The save files at TGS said "Disc 1" on the selection screen. :D

Ha yes, I remember that now. Was there a topic about that here? I must have missed it :)

I mentioned it a few times in the various threads. We've had like 6 different Blue Dragon threads since TGS, people just can't stop making new ones! It's strange though, you would think that if it were on multiple discs that MS would sell it for more than just 6800yen. Maybe they're really trying to push the game in Japan hard at any costs.

Well DVDs cost next to nothing, so I don't think it's a real issue for the final price. And of course it would be suicidal for MS to overprice that game in Japan.

Looks great. This is seeing a N.A. release right? Probably a stupid question but I haven't really been following this one.

Also, is it RPG? Adventure? I'm not a big fan of RPGs but just because of the beauty of this one I'd consider playing it.

I honestly hope they take their time with the North American version and enhance it a bit as Sqaure did with Dragonquest 8 to ensure good sales. Let japan have the lesser version.lol

I can't wait to see the ad campaign for this one.

Everything 360 sells well in America software related. Day 1 for me, that's for sure!

It's an RPG. I don't know if there's been official confirmation of NA release but the TGS trailer is on Live Marketplace in the US, so I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's coming out here.
