New ingame images added from the Tokyo MS Conference.

I think these were being shown at some event in Japan. Not sure where but apparently these are all ingame environments. Also, Blue Dragon has reportedly climbed the Famitsu Top5 this week. It's the only 360 game at no.5 along with three PS3 games FFXIII(#2), MGS4(#4) and Resident Evil 5(#3). While FFIII for DS is at #1 spot.

Hopefully this will break the Japanese gamer barrier for 360 over there.

If you like that, here are few more

wow the ss with the robots and tornados looks pretty bad ass.

[speed stick]

Kinda neat. I want to see more in game videos.

[Freeman_JI]

Whats the combat like? DBZ inspired? FF inspired? Other?

[chrismt]

Is Toriyama doing the character and monster designs? I catch a definite hint of him.

This game looks great.

This game looks great.

pretty sure he is

the game looks cool and all but...

I want to know what the gameplay is like

[Illmatic]

I'm really looking forward to this game. It looks great, of course it helps that Toriyama is doing the character designs

[venomv]

Hmm, I'm not getting anything...........last time I saw the game I absolutly hated the art style, though.

Edit: Well I can see them now.

[yoshaw]

Toriyama is doing the official artwork for this game. He was specially asked to do so by Sakaguchi himself IIRC. Quite the deal you see, Blue Dragon has been climbing the Famitsu Most Wanted charts and I think Akira Toriyama is one of the reasons Blue Dragon is even in that list. The guy has a fan following like a hollywood star.

Anyways, found a few more images lurking around. Seems like all of these(and above) were captured from some sort of a documentary video about BlueDragon.

Some screens I like and others I just dont care for, the game is missing something but I just cant put my finger on it.

[SuperLuigiBros]

Looks cool. Ive seen this game here and there, but I dont know what its all about. Could someone fill me in? Is it an RPG? I like the environment graphics and the art style, but those white backgrounds are a littel boring (No doubt its just a demo of sorts).

Anyway, if it turns out to be cool, then itll help my decision to get a xbox360.

[venomv]

It is an RPG, I think is pretty much all the real info we have.

Finally, a 'Direct Feed' trailer. All of the images in this thread were taken from this video. Gorgeous stuff. Download it from here

Its an rpg from I believe the creator of the original final fantasys with art by that Dragon ball guy

Correct me if I'm wrong

[venomv]

I didn't know about "that Dragonball guy" but yeah.......guess that explains why I cannot stand the art though.

[BigfootGus]

I have to get this game

looks frickin sweet

This title is one of the two being developed by Mistwalker, a game studio founded by Final Fantasy father Hironobu Sakaguchi

and

it turns out that the game's character designer is none other than Akira Toriyama. Best known for his work on Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest,

Hopefully its good , I haven't liked a jrpg in a very , very , very long time , they have been so bland since the psone era its not even funny
