I was wondering which of these two everyone prefers? I love them both, but I have read on other forums and in magazines that there are camps dedicated to both.
Blue Dragon or Eternal Sonata

I don't own a 360, but Eternal Sonata was what caught my attention orginally. I keep forgetting I wanna buy Blue Dragon

Eternal Sonata catches more my attention, but both are too conventional J-RPG for me to really want either.
I've a friend that really loves Blue Dragon and it does have an impressive team behind it. But for me, design, story and world-wise it has nothing in it that makes me want to step forward and into those worlds.
ES tho... kinda. But not when I've other things I can be playing.

Yeah they are heavy duty Japanese style rpgs. That is why I love them. I have always preferred the Japanese style console rpg over anything else. Well that was until KOTOR from bioware. I am such a huge bioware fanboy now :buttrock:

I love me some J-RPG's, but after playing FFXII and no random encounters.. it's not easy to turn around and deal with 'em again.
Feels too last gen.
But yeah.. I've heard good things about Blue Dragon and the love of its old school feel.

Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata don't have random battles. You see all monsters on screen before the fights. That way you can run by them. or fight. Blue Dragon even has a map screen option to combine battles for multiple monsters on screen.

I stand very much corrected then.
The other thing is the fantasy set up. The worlds of BD and ES aren't exactally fantasies I want to live out.

Yeah that can be a problem. Eternal Sonata's world is still odd to me, but I am into it. Blue Dragon is your standard FF/DQ/Other japanese rpg fantasy world. See this is why I love Mass Effect so much. It's an rpg, but i can just run around blowing **** away :thumbs:
