Blue Dragon gets random dungeon creator; green dragon gets nothing photo

Siliconera has details on the first second piece of downloadable content for the soon-to-be-localized Blue Dragon: a random dungeon generator. Obviously, the DLC would be released to the Japanese first (as America has yet to receive the title), with a scheduled release date of April 27, 2007. The extra content will be available on Microsoft's Xbox LIVE service for 300 points.

This is exactly the kind of DLC we should be seeing in games. They could have gone the easy route and added different colored dragons, but not only would that have invalidated their rather restrictive naming scheme, it also would not have provided the added replay value of something like a random dungeon generator. For now it seems that Microsoft is working hard to compete on equal terms with Square-Enix, the makers of Final Fantasy, and until they release the inevitable sequel (Blue Dragon 2: Dragon Harder), green dragon is left out in the cold.

Poor green dragon ...

Green dragon deserved it. After all, it's not easy being green.

Too bad they didn't give you tools to create your own dungeon layout. That's the kind of DLC that we should be seeing in games. That and sloppy pee pees.

I really want to play this game, yet I can't tell you why. One of life's greatest mysteries.

Barbara: I agree, something like that would have been much cooler to see. But this is still pretty nice to see. It'll definitely add a little re playability to the game... of course that is if the game is any good in the first place.

Abolutely excellent choice for DLC. Random dungeon generator downloads are an excellent idea for RPGs, they up the replay value sooo much

Nex little correction there. I wrote up the Blue Dragon piece on Siliconera and it's not the first piece of downloadable content. The first piece was actually a super hard difficulty mode and New Game Plus that MS released a while ago. Some possibly nefarious site that I won't name incorrectly stated it was the first piece of downloadable content.

Green Dragons shoot chlorine gas out of their mouths. Blue Dragons shoot LIGHTNING. I rest my case.
