Blue Dragon

The game is cool, but it has the single worst achievement distribution I've ever seen. Horrible, horrible achievements that are more trouble than they're worth.

Hmm, that's a little disconcerting.

Amazon has it for $3.49 so I'm in a "eh why not for that price?" attitude.

I think at that price, it's worth playing the first few hours at least.

Yes, buy that.

Ack! Naturally, I've been playing in chan. But I did not know that my beloved Tara Strong, voice of countless cartoon and videogame characters, including one of the cutest RPG thieves of all time, Norma Beatty, does the English VO for Kluke. Now, what to do, what to do....

Switch to English? Blast it, I can't lay myself bare to the Saturday morning cartoon fare that has no doubt been applied with a thick sloppy paint brush to the cast at large.

Stay in Japanese? Nay, surely every Kluke scene from here on out will be tainted with my own conflicted regret....

Stop playing entirely? Eureka!

Nah, just kidding. Guess maybe I'll just switch back and forth here and there if there's a scene with lots of Kluke lines.

Agreed. While I only put about 6 hours in before I got bored, I don't think it was as much the game's fault as my gaming habits at the time. But it was pretty nice from what I recall.

This was my first 360 game. Fucking Maru... Is there a rule this gen that every JRPG must have a character with voice acting so terrible it pushes me that much farther from the genre? Same with Star Ocean 4, same with Devil Survivor...

Xenoblade showed every early indication of bucking that trend. It did not, though. It did not at all.

Someone didn't care for Reyn Time.

It was when the clock turned from Reyn Time to Riki Time that I started getting embarassed for myself.
