Usually, RPGs always have various mini-games built into the story. We’re not talking about mini-games involving you trying to distinguish Biggs, Wedge, and Piette in a tent in order to win some food for Chrono’s pet cat (ooh, geeky!). Those kinds of mini-games are, shall we say, “casual.” They really don’t affect the story.

Today, we’ve got two gameplay videos of “story-affecting mini-games” in Mistwalker‘s Blue Dragon. These are the kinds of mini-games that seem to be embedded or built into an important aspect of the plot and are required to trigger the next couple of events.
