A japanese gamer had the chance to find Blue Dragon a few days before the official release date, and had the excellent idea to broadcast his discovery of the game via a peercast. I've of course captured it as soon as I heard about it, and I'll reencode some parts of it when I find something interesting. The spoiler videos will be marked as such.
As expected from a stream the quality is very average, and I've had a very very hard time finding a way to reencode it too. The pauses in the video are due to this process, the actual game is of course very smooth.
Update: Second video online.
Update2: Added another video, showing this time a rather nicer looking area. Warning, spoilers!
Update3: And yet another video, and it's party time at Maru-Maro's village! When Uematsu goes crazy, it's almost scary :)
Update4: Less fun than the last one, this new video should please the fans of jRPGs as it shows the overworld. The others will certainly behave much like the bear at the end of the video and maybe should keep out of the comments ;)

I don't think i have seen a game with so many hidden treasures either :S
The gameplay reminds me of FF7 quite a lot, the running around and what have you.

Who has fire elemtn in the team?
Isn't shu's dragon a water? if so he shoukd attack the fire right?
Water> fire while fire>ice,thus owning the ice enemy to the left.

Commented on 2006-12-05 17:55:43 In reply to RealtimeThis game is like a mix of DQ8 (which i hated) and FF7 (which i loved) so not sure what i think of it to be honest.
As i said above watching someone else play isn't half as fun as playing it yourself, so hopefully i will enjoy it when i start to play it for myself.
Commented on 2006-12-05 17:56:47Well I hope you Blue Dragon guys get what you are wanting. Great if you are.

Commented on 2006-12-05 18:06:56 In reply to SpannerXI fear this is going to be a bit redundant after a while though. Especialy since it's a song.
Anyway, the fight theme is f***ing awesome !!!

Commented on 2006-12-05 18:22:28follow the instructions here, i think the stream/server is down now though.
There was a really funny bit, where Muramora takes back some medicine to his village, as the whole village is sick, shortly after they get better they all start dancing to the butbut song..
Although the story (from what i have seen) is actually a lot more serious than i thought it would be :(
Commented on 2006-12-05 18:27:45The game looks ok from what I've seen, but there's not much to tell from the videos posted. From what you are saying Jolli the story isn't that good?
So far I like the gameplay, I still can't wait to get my hands on this game.
