Like sperm cells to an egg cell: Blue Dragon achievements

When people hear the phrase “360 Achievements,” gamers would race like vultures to a carcass to take a shot at the prize. But when you’re talking about the achievements for an upcoming game like Blue Dragon, fans of Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Akira Toriyama would rush like millions of sperm cells to an egg cell (hey, we’re talking academically, here!).

Japan’s release on December 7 is just a month away. While that might be a long enough wait to make you anxious, the Western market would have to wait even longer for an unannounced 2007 release. Well, it’s sure going to be worth it, right?

Here’s the list of achievements (thanks to duckroll from NeoGAF for the translation!) – and might we add, those are pretty interesting achievements, too:

• (5) Successful Back Attack – Successfully pull off a back attack
• (30) 100 Back Attacks – Successfully pull off 100 back attacks
• (5) Successful Simultaneous Encounter – Successfully pull off a simultaneous encounter
• (30) Simultaneous Encounter, Over 10 Parties – Successfully pull off over 10 parties of simultaneous encounters and defeat all the monsters
• (30) 100 Monster Fights – Set up over 100 monster fights
