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.

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.

The story and the characters were some of the best I've ever seen. the graphics were good for the PS and the cut scenes and voice overs were amazing. I beat the game at least 3 times and loved every second of it. I felt the problems the protagonist faced were believable and realistic and i believe it deserves a sequel. or at least a remake. If they remade it for the ps3 i would buy the system for just that game and maybe mgs4 its amazing also the idea and execution of the dragoon system is enough to warrant a rental and on top of that ad the inventive although sometimes cheating(stupid buster wand) combat addition system and the plot makes this game a definite buy.

This game is one of the best RPG. Fist, It is actually more amusing than any other because of the battle system (you harm the enemy depending on how you aim the attack, you can transform into dragoon, the special attack, the magic...). The script is very good. Characters are all lovely and you have no long dialogs to support, as happened in several games of Final Fintasy series. I got bored of that dialogs about past, when you just want to go on with the game's story. Ambientation is a jewel on this game, it combines Middle-age fantasy with futuristic science fiction. It's remarkable that animation effects are just incredible, i like them more than other in other modern games (we can't remember that Legend of the Dragoon is 8 years now). Then, Map is huge, there are all kinds of places an enemies. Finally, Music is not the best game muse I have heard, but it's perfect for a game like this.

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.
