The result after 65 hours of play!

I extremely like zocke RPGs in general, I've to Eternal Sonata still the same Bluedragon bought. A typical Japanese-RPG, which was also designed by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.
Since I am also a fan of the FF series allowed me this specimen not be missed. I take the liberty my vote to be subdivided into several sub-points.

1) Graphics
An absolute plus point was the game in terms of graphics! The landscapes, just the whole level design looks beautiful - if one of these style like. It is supposed to be people whom this look partout does not want to tackle. Personally he really liked.
However, a minor complaint are occasional stuttering, especially towards the end. As is commonly known, can argue about taste and exceptions to the rgel:
GRAPHICS: 4/5

2.) Story
The story is, in a nutshell, of Shu, a 16 year-old boy and resident of the village Talta and his two friends Giro and Klug. Once the rogue Nene their village haunts for years the friends decide one day to put an end to or Nene and his Make managed slowly to the ropes.
Over time, two more characters of the group encounter added.
Of course, it's all about the shade, where the game gets its name, and its significance.
The story is by no means boring, that's for sure. But in no case it is not exciting. What we conclude:
As in many games, the story is perhaps a little more here. As a means to an end In other words: you will be required to play the game to advance.
So it goes at least to me. It may be that you really great like the story indeed. Nevertheless:
STORY: 3/5

3.) Gameplay:
As in any RPG it comes aufzustufen his characters along as far gg to the end. To survive Boss opponent.
Blue Dragon does this by means of a turn-based combat system.
In addition, each your group members has a shade for you can unlock a total of nine classes that have different abilities. It is also possible to combine different skills from different classes of character. There are tons of items and believe me when I tell you that it is worthwhile to turn every stone, examine within the meaning of. Even when standing on euerem window viewing: "Nothing" so many of these "nothings" will help you later.
Opponents are at some point no longer approaching threat. And have towards the end, no longer worthy of the name except occasional optional bosses, bosses. I look with regret on the last final battle back (and some before, but especially on this). But all in all quite consistent and therefore:
Gameplay: 4/5

4.) replayability factor
From experience I know that role-playing games in general have a high replayability rate. So even in this game. Especially to reach all Gamerscore, it is essential to play this game a few hours over the "regular" playing time. You know what I mean: Collect all Ggenstände type XY and beat the monsters of the number X, etc.
Again, everyone has his own ideas and preferences, how often it by playing a game. I'm more of a type of example Mass Effect buys and (expressed Salop) after six months eienm Blue Dragon again in the 360 ​​throws. So:
AGAIN GAME FACTOR: 4/5

Conclusion:
Blue Dragon has some excellent advantages undoubtedly. Who is Rollenspielfan the demo should download, who is on JRPGs should no longer doubt, but tuck in immediately. Who relies on more realistic graphics and a "more sophisticated" story will certainly be looking at find Mass Effect. But all old-school round-based RPG Fans can I put Bluedragon only his heart. As I said, only times Download All the other demo or even read more reviews, which distort the picture sometimes and tend much to generalize.
Total: 4/5
