Loads more Blue Dragon to come

360 News | Franchise to drag-on.

Blue Dragon creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has revealed that the Xbox 360 RPG has a rosy future ahead of it. Speaking to CVG, Sakaguchi modestly chatted about the success of the game in Japan ("It's attaching over 45 per cent and that's really amazing"), before more or less confirming what we all knew, and what Sakaguchi himself has already hinted strongly at: that the Blue Dragon udder is to be milked further.

"Blue Dragon has sold through more than 200,000 units in Japan and again it will continue to build momentum as we get into things like Blue Dragon 2 and Blue Dragon 3", Sakaguchi said. "And that's what we're hoping; to really build on the franchise. Maybe it'll take ten years." When asked whether that was confirmation of a second Blue Dragon game, the RPG guru joked, "Tonight I will talk with Shane [Kim] (laughs)." You probably had to be there.

Anyway, an English language demo of Blue Dragon is intended for release in PAL regions this June or July.

Maybe he's made an awesome game like he did with Final Fantasy and it will become a huge franchise or something. Although they'd better keep releasing other games as well.

LOL, that's what i always think when reading interview excerpts. So true.

So a sequel, these days. Wow, who would have seen it coming.

I hope this game turns out good. The images make it seem like a funny version of FF also fun!

Shame its taking so long to get an English release of the game, although its done wonders for the Xbox 360 in Japan (small wonders perhaps..)
