The Legend of Dragoon

I myself believe this game to be above most RPG's. I myself don't normally play them, but this one caught my eye. I just loved the Dragoon transformations and their magic. In my opinion, I'd have to say that this game is better than any Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Parasite Eve game. I've played them all, and they are very boring. I'll admit, LOTD is kinds corny, but look at games that are coming out now. Super Mario Sunshine???? What kind of bogus game is that. They need to retire Mario. In all, this games is one of the better RPG's to come out.

In my humble opinion, the most interesting characteritic of The Legend of Dragoon is the rather unique battle system. The battle system require you to master "Additions". Basically, performing these "additions" will make your physical attacks more powerful. Executing these moves require timing and coordination on the part of the player. The battle system keeps track of the number of times that you have executed each addition perfectly. The attack, or move, gets more powerful as the number of your successful attempts increase. And, your character will also gain some more powerful additions as the game progresses. Typically, the more powerful additions will require more complicated timing, concentration, and coordination on your part. Most players will probably never master the last couple of additions for each of the main characters.

This is a very long game. However, the story and the characters are interesting enough to keep you engaged. I recommend this game to those who actually want to use timing and coordination while playing their RPGs.

I loved this game. It was the first RPG I ever beat. The addition system is so creative and so fun. I love to play this game but after the third time around it gets a little boring :/. Definitely recommend it. Even easy enough for younger kids. I beat it around ten or eleven years old.The dragoons were awesome. Lloyd was such a cool character. As much as I would like them to make a movie for this game, it wouldn't be as good as the game. PLAY THIS GAME. This game got me started on RPGs. I think next was Dark Cloud, then an attempt at FF8 (also very good) and then Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2 which I am playing at the moment. So I thank LOD for turning me to the great world of RPGs.

This game is without a doubt the greatest game for the PS. I first played it as a Wal-Mart demo and I fell in love. I constantly got crinks in my neck looking up at the screen for so long. My first time fully playing was borrowing it from a friend one disc at a time. (They were a disc or so ahead) You know that a game is good when you contemplate killing your best friend because he forgets to bring the next disc the very next day after you finish the one before it. I finally bought my own copy while on a trip to NYC and I still play it to this day. I spend full days on this game consistently and even though I've beaten it three times, it just gets better. Yeah, It's THAT good!

I remember this game. It was always sitting on the shelves alone, until one day I decided to try something new for a change, and got this game. I stared in awe at it, since it was the first ever game for the PS1 that I owned that had 4 discs. When I played it, I couldn't put the controller down, seriously.

The storyline of this game is so good and twisted, it's almost as good as the Final Fantasy VII Storyline, and that is hard to accomplish. When you play the game, you get so involved with the characters it's unbelievable that it's only a PS1 game, as It feels like a movie. And I believe it should be made into a movie.

Too bad this game is a very unheard of game and barely no one has played or liked it, as it is one of those games that is sitting on the ends of the shelves, with a 50% off sign sitting on it, trying to sell. Well I am one of those people who always look at those on the ends, and try them out and most of them turn out to be really good. Heck, that is how I got into final Fantasy VII, looking in a catalog, and finding it. But this is different than Final Fantasy.

Legend of Dragoon, is the only game or RPG that is better than most Square Enix games, surprisingly. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made by Square Enix but it's not. Hardly any games I play are better than the Final Fantasy series, or the Dragon Quest series, but this one is. But what really bugs me is why it is very little known and is not praised, which it should be.

Graphics are pretty good for a PS1 game, but what can you expect from it? It's PS1 man, made in 1999. Story I have already mentioned is amazing, almost beats VII. Characters are a amazing, you get involved so much with them, and their actions.

A definite 10 out of 10. Definitely deserved more praise, and a very well done RPG by a company other than Square Enix.
