Blue Dragon is a classic turn-based role-playing game set in a fantastical open world plagued by ominous purple clouds that herald disaster each year. When a mechanical beast known as the Land Shark rampages through their village, three young friends, Shu, Jiro, and Kluke, set out to stop it and are swept into a far grander adventure. They discover they can wield powerful magical shadows, taking the shape of a dragon and other mighty creatures, and use them to battle the forces of the sinister ruler Nene. Joined by new companions, the party journeys across a vast world to confront Nene and uncover the truth behind the calamities threatening their home.
