We should see a Blue Dragon demo on the 20th, all be it time bombed. A strange choice but looking forward to trying it never the less.

I'm really looking forward to Blue Dragon, I was let down by Enchanted Arms' infuriatingly common battle sequence and the fact I had the wrong team to take on a certain boss so it became impossible to defeat it.

I'm starting to think it was just me that liked Enchanted Arms

Nah, I liked it. Infact, it was my most anticipated game at the time (no mean feat considering it was up against Madden 07, Saints Row, Test Drive Unlimited and Dead rising), so it had further to fall from grace.

Blue Dragon's been reviewed by Edge, only got 6/10

Hope I still like it.

The demo did nothing for me, Haly.

Ditto me - I'm holding out for a good story though, in a Jap RPG a good story would compensate for a weak battle system - at least for me anyway.

Though I'm now holding out more hope for Eternal Sonata - I enjoyed that demo much more, and it's quite a stunning world in there.

I really can't use the demo as an example of the game. It had no story development because that'd be impossible to have in such a brief demo that was based smack in the middle of the game.
I remember years ago playing a demo of FF8 and that was crap but the game wasn't.

Strangely on the subject, the game isn't out yet, but has DLC just put on the marketplace!

How strange! The review stated it was pretty easy so guess it's in preparation to make it a bit more challenging.
Having thought about it, I'm not cancelling my pre-order, I remember Suikoden getting a crap review somewhere and it's still one of my favourite PS1 RPGs
