The plot is hardly a shocker: a band of youngsters rise up against a threat that’s terrorizing their home village, only for it to result in them embarking on an adventure which sees them saving the world. But once the game’s slightly plodding intro is out of the way, and each of the game’s heroes (initially it’s just Shu, Jiro and Kluke, who are later joined by the slightly mental short-ass Marumaro and royal vixen Zola) have received their iconic shadow-creature forms, you’re off, and Blue Dragon starts to unfurl nicely. While fights are underpinned by age-old turn-based mechanics, there’s more to it all than first appearances suggest.
