Blue Dragon fans have much to be happy about. Recently, we announced that Blue Dragon Plus would be making an appearance in America. Now, we've just found information that points to the game's Japanese release date.

According to a Japanese press release from AQ Interactive, which was supported by an official announcement on Blue Dragon Plus' official website, the game will be coming out in Japan on September 4. The game itself will retail for 5,229 yen (US$ 50).

Seeing as the game's suppose to hit North America before the end of the fiscal year, that gives AQ Interactive, Feel Plus, and Mistwalker around six to seven months to add some extra goodies for American gamers, should they choose to do so. Here's to hoping the English version of the game kicks some major shadow butt!
