Blue Dragon: Ikai no Kyojyuu, you know the Blue Dragon game that has the feel of a MMO, lets players create a hero and flip shadows. Shadows have always been an integral part of the Blue Dragon mythology. They’re essentially the source of power for Shu and his friends.
In Blue Dragon: Ikai no Kyojuu everyone’s shadows mysteriously disappeared. Now, only the player character has the ability to summon shadows and he or she has a handful of them. Shadows act like job classes. They have individual levels and as they grow you get access to more skills.
Six shadows are confirmed to be in Namco Bandai’s Blue Dragon game. Shu’s Dragon shadow is your basic melee class, it’s good for dealing damage and has average HP. The Minotaur shadow specializes in recovery magic while the Phoenix shadow dishes out attack magic. Both of these shadows have lower defense as a tradeoff. The other three shadows with unknown stats and appear later in the game are: Devil, Hercules Beetle, and Mecha Robo. Sadly, the Poo Snake shadow didn’t make the cut.
