A very lengthy, beautifully wrought, and next-gen 1998, but 1998 nonetheless.

While it's not the next-gen opus fans have been waiting for since Sakaguchi's departure from Square in 2003, Blue Dragon is a familiar, accessible, and comfortable game with outstanding production values.

In an era where games are getting even-shorter, Blue Dragon is a staggeringly 16-bit, grind-happy title.
