Are you still a ways off from finishing your quest in Blue Dragon on the Xbox 360? Then you'd better stop reading now, as this story is full of mega spoilers!
Are you sure you want to continue?
Okay, here goes!
The latest issue of Famitsu has a tiny update on Blue Dragon DS, the sequel to that Xbox 360 RPG that you've hopefully finished if you're reading this. While still a bit on the vague side, we were able to extract a few new details.
Blue Dragon DS takes place a year after the events of the original. As per that game's ending, the world has split in two and is comprised of a bunch of little cube-shaped mini worlds.
Shu's portable adventure begins when Zola and King Jibral come upon an evil shadow emerging from one of the cubes. Jibral sends Shu and friends out to investigate.
As previously announced, gameplay in Blue Dragon DS is real time strategy as you control an army of shadow-wielding troops against an army of enemies. Shadows are the key to your success, as they have special attacks that can deal simultaneous damage to multiple enemies.
You'll find a few new shadows in the game. While everyone returns from the original, you'll also be able to make use of three new shadow casters: King Jibral, Zabo (the robot villain from the original) and Unchi. That's right, Unchi, the poop-shaped enemy from the original, is now a playable character and he and his shadow look alike.
The Feel Plus developed Blue Dragon sequel will hit the Japanese DS in March. Hopefully by then we'll have gotten a more specifics on the game.
