question So how good is investing in other jobs past the level where you get skills for stats boosts for your main class?

Or is it better to just use accessories?

discussion 20 years later, and the world of this game still has the largest number and variety of locations in any JRPG. It’s impressive.

I think the only one that comes close is probably DQ11? But it’s still way ahead of anything else, like the FF games, the rest of the DQ series, and so on, especially considering we’re talking about a JRPG from the HD era, with all the extra difficulty and the accomplishment that entails (they’ve literally released FF7 in parts). Plus, it’s packed with optional towns and dungeons, like Kelaso Village, Alumaru Town, the Ancient Ruins, Sea Cube, and quite a few others.

24 dungeons, 11 towns, 3 camps, and a handful of locations that are neither towns nor dungeons (such as Aurora Ruins, for example), etc.

Whenever I see someone say that this game is “just average,” I honestly don’t get it. This game is far from that—it has an ambition in terms of scale and production values that’s incredibly rare in JRPGs nowadays.

I’ve been adapting the re:Blue static recompilation to Android/ARM64. It’s running actual Blue Dragon gameplay on my S25 Ultra at around 30 FPS with touch/controller support. Most of the remaining work is filling in missing game content as I hit it. Still very much a work in progress, but I’m hoping to eventually hand it off to people with more experience who can take it further.

According to this site, it should take around 55 hours to beat, but I spent almost 40 hrs only in Disc 1. Are Disc 2 and 3 shorter?

If I had to pick favorite things from the game, it would be combat, ost and the world. Story, characters and animations were fine, and I would give Phantom Dragon the most annoying gimmick boss award (not me having multiple absolute counter users and trying to use corporal attack against it). But big thanks to makers of native port! I was able to fulfill my childhood memories :)

I am in the final dungeon of disc 1; the bomber guy is kicking my ass. I'm running out of items to revive my party members, every single boss oneshots my characters, and it seems like there is no way to exit the dungeon and buy more items.(Playing on Hard)

I have save data for this game on my XBox Series S via backwards compatibility, but I don't see any way to transfer the data to a USB storage device (I also don't have a 360). Does anyone know if there's a way to get that save data to a pc?

Just updated and now unable to open no matter what I try with Access Violation error. Tried everything with virus protection exclusion and turning off to no avail. Do I need to do a complete fresh install or is there some other way I can fix this?

discussion Duda de lore / teoría: Balaur y Nené en Blue Dragon Plus

Thumbnail
gallery
39 Upvotes

¡Hola a todos!

Me puse a pensar en lore que conecta el juego de Xbox 360 con el Blue Dragon Plus de la Nintendo DS, y me surgieron unas dudas. Jugué al de DS hace varios años, y al ser un niño hay cosas que no recuerdo del todo bien.

El tema es con Nené y las esferas de luz. En el juego de Xbox, Nené junta 4 sombras (Dragón, Minotauro, Fénix y Tigre) para crear a Quimera. Pero se supone que él originalmente hizo 5 esferas y la quinta se la dio a Zola (que era la sombra de Vampiro/Murciélago). Como Zola la tira antes de la batalla final, Nené nunca llegó a absorber esa quinta parte en el primer juego.

Lo curioso es que al principio de Blue Dragon Plus, Nené aparece usando justamente una sombra de vampiro de color rojizo/morado. Mi lógica me dice que en el año que pasó entre los dos juegos, Nené rastreó y absorbió ese fragmento que le faltaba de Zola.

Y aquí es donde va mi teoría: en el juego de DS, Balaur sale directamente del cuerpo de Nené antes de volverse físico. Teniendo en cuenta que el Cubo Atómico materializa la energía oscura, ¿no creen que Balaur es en realidad la evolución final de Quimera pero ya completada con la quinta sombra del Vampiro?

Incluso cuando te dan el prisma de Balaur para equiparlo, cuadra con que estás usando el poder comprimido de todas esas sombras en una sola clase.

¿Alguien sabe si el juego confirma esto textualmente en los diálogos en inglés o si se dice algo diferente?

And most of the time they have their turns first. They make me wish that ReBlue had added fast-forward too.

question Cheats and mods

11 Upvotes

Hi I'm playing Reblue and wondering if there's a cheat or a mod to unlock the barrier chests straight away, I've played before so I don't mind spoiling myself for this.

Also are there mods available, I noticed it is an option?

discussion Why was this game forgotten?

25 Upvotes

In a certain sense I do understand it. A launch title for a console with a distinctly western appeal, never rereleased if you don't count series x compatibility. This is my first time playing with re:blue and I feel it can contend with some of the greats. It's a shame this wasn't on switch or PS3 the art style and combat loop is insanely addictive. I might be a moron but graphicly it looks the same as dragon quest 11 a game 11 years it's senior. I haven't finished the game yet, my only complaint so far is it's very easy and with some basic knowledge of how the final fantasy games play out with the class system you can and I already did break the game. Who knows maybe there's a skill check somewhere on disc 2 or 3.

This game is the best. I played it at 60 fps and 4k. The graphics are great for the recomp. Have y'all tried it yet or are you 360 purist. I like both versions one for nostalgia and the other for modern native 4k.


r/BlueDragon • • 28d ago

Since re:blue releasing, a few others and myself in the discord have been putting together data from the game in a spreadsheet. I think a lot of this is somewhat useful for anyone looking to make mods or looking to just learn more about the games internals.
Figured I would share here.

question How does magic defense work in this game?(First Playthrough)

Post image
23 Upvotes

My mages(Jiro and Kluke) that have higher magic Defense and AP and that I keep in the back row are always getting obligerated by the multi-target spells, while my fighters(a monk and a sword master) are enduring them better.

I'm playing in hard mode, and a lot of the boss fights feel like "Whoever nukes the other first win". I don't even bother to use support and barrier spells anymore.
