Well it sold at least the 10,000 bundles, probably a significant amount more. We should be getting the sales numbers in a few days.

Please…please …please let this be a great step in helping Japan realize how great of a console the 360 is and start supporting it!

I really want Blue Dragon, but theres no way i could survive playing through it in Japanese, especially since it’s an RPG…

…guess i gotta wait …

But it’s good that the people of Japan are lovin’ it

Peace.

[quote comment="10800"]i know lol. i’m saying Japanese 360 owners have responded better to the RPG genre than the first person genre or any other genre. at least as far as the Xbox is concerned.[/quote]
Ohhhhh. Alright.

And by the way, in the news post you said “waiting for a possible US release”. Just wanted to let you know that Sakaguchi has said he wants to bring both Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey to Europe and North America as soon as possible. I imagine we’ll see Blue Dragon some time next year.

[quote comment="10793"]well i call it that moreso because of how other genres have performed over there. i know the spectrum of Final Fantasy etc expand across the globe, but this is definitely a genre that performs much better in Japan as we’ve when put up against other genres like FPS etc.

that’s what i meant by that.[/quote]
Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying, but Blue Dragon and Final Fantasy are the same genre. Turn based JRPGs.
