Blue Dragon Hits The Shelves In Asia

Blue Dragon, one of the most highly anticipated exclusive RPG games for the Xbox 360 hit the shelves in Asia this week. If you don’t want to wait until August, you could always order the Asian version which is multi-language (Chinese/English). However, that release is only NTSC-J. The North American version will definitely be out this August.

Famed game producer Hironobu Sakaguchi of Mistwalker and developer Artoon present the highly anticipated Xbox 360â„¢ exclusive Blue Dragon. Featuring the character design of Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball Z and music by Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy, Blue Dragon is an epic role-playing game that centers on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends.

These unlikely heroes possess the power to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters, giving Shu and his comrades miraculous strength and magical powers.

The warriors can create and develop their combat styles by utilizing different types of Shadow Change, including Sword, Assassin, and Power Magic. Shu and his friends must use the shadows as weapons and wield their skills to save their world from impending doom.

Encountering various people on a planet where numerous ancient ruins remain, the characters and their shadows travel through a world full of mysteries and illusions, where the slightest touch can cause reactions of unparalleled magnitude.

This Asian release version supports selectable Japanese and Korean voices, with English or traditional Chinese subtitles and menus.
