I too wonder why Halo is above Blue Dragon. Maybe they had a missprint and it was listed as "Blue Dragon 2 for PS3."

WOOOOW that was a good read... Im gonna go back cuz I need a cigarrete. Also, how can 115 japanese people justify spending +$600 for "Nothing in particular" ???

Is there something big going on in the gaming world (CES???) that we dont know about? NONE of the videogame blogger sites (cept you guys, D'toid rox) have updated or posted anything. Like, ANYTHING. WTF.

Why would Blue Dragon be on their Anticipated Titles poll, anyway? It's already out there.

I'm surprised Halo 3 even made the list. I didn't think the Japanese were into FPSs at all.

Oh shit, I didn't know FF Tactics was coming to the PSP. Now I'm all excited like a little school girl.

Is GTA: San An just being released in Japan? All the way up there at number two.

(backs slowly away from Bahamut_zero) I thought robots prefered "Jacking-On", opposed to getting high and jacking off.

I just assumed that was you at last week's "get together," snail. (shrugs). I guess that's the danger when you mix speedballs, viagra, and merciless imperial troopers.

I'd say even money MGS4 and FFXIII aren't out in 2007, even in Japan, but we'll see.

I like how they list the DS as something that will become a breakaway hit in 2007. Hasn't it ALREADY proven itself a breakaway hit? Crazy japanese people.

Am I the only one who doesn't thing Blue Dragon looks anymore than a typical fantasy RPG?

Looks like "Nothing in Particular" is a pretty popular game, being multi-platform and all.

@ Magesx
I hope you understand the importance of your avatar, because it is a 4chan/YTMND meme, and if you do understand, you get +1 win points.

@Magesx

No, I agree.

@Snaileb

Yes, I do play Gears but just not in the last week. I know San An is out here in the states, but I didn't know if it was out in Japan because the list said it was the second most anticipated game of '07 in Japan.

I'm kinda surprised at the list since most people at the TGS wanted to get the PS3. The again the Wii wasn't playable then so maybe thats why.
