Blue Dragon Plus

Blue Dragon Plus was released during Microsoft's short-lived (and ultimately futile) efforts to revive the unpopular Xbox 360 in Japan, by buying out exclusivity rights to every JRPG they could get their hands on (Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Tengai Makyou 3...). They somehow got a new IP, Blue Dragon, which despite its lack of originality managed to enjoy a relative popularity back then due to the tie-in anime.

So what did Microsoft do for their new franchise? A mediocre tactical-RPG sequel, and it's known how well those tend to do. The third, rather decent, action-RPG entry couldn't quite save the doomed series.

Hidden Location Names#

The first three locations are named "The Search", "Spirit of Light", and "Revival" in the game's guide.
Since they are unrevisitable, you can never actually see the location name in-game. But if you change the map position value, you can figure out that they do in fact have names.
They are, "Machine Hill", "Den of Light", and "Medical Lab."
More dummied out places include "Talta" (Shu's hometown from the first game), "Med Lab Ruin" (probably related to the Ancient Hospital Ruins from the first game), "Cryonics Lab", "Land Shark" (an Ancient mechanism), "Cockpit", another "Bomb Factory", "Factory Area", and then just "Map 33" to "Map 63", then just ".", and then just a bunch of random pieces of dialogue.
