My cousin was nice enough to let me try it while I was staying at her house. Let me tell you, I was addicted the moment I started. I only got to play for about two hours the first day, but then the second day I tried to play it all day long! My poor neglected cousin had to turn off the game to break me away from it. I made it to destroying the first Mist Generator, but I was hopelessly addicted by then.
First, the sound. It is engaging, compelling, absorbing. It's soft where it needs to be and blood-pumping when it needs to be. 5/5
Gamespeed. In mini-areas (which you're in all the time, dungeons, etc.) it's pretty good, and you can even set the game to automatically run in those areas. However, if you're on the overworld, you are always annoyingly slow. The game itself progresses well, without any pointless sidequests. Some say that there aren't any sidequests at all, but I disagree. Leveling-up, though, is pretty darn slow -- at the rate of about one level-up per hour. 3/5
Graphics-wise, it could be a little better. Vahn's companions, Noa and Gala, are rarely seen unless in a cut-scene (of which there are plenty) or a battle. Outside of battles, they look like clay sculptures of themselves, a little crude but very cute. In battles, they are full-scale, detailed, and you even get to see their armor! 4/5
Battle system itself. I have never seen the likes of a battle system like that before. Then again, this one is also the first battle system I've seen that isn't 8-bit.
It's awesome. On the first selection screen, you have Item, Spirit, Attack, and Meta (Terra for Noa, Ozma for Gala). Spirit allows you to refill some of your Arts Power. Meta allows your character's Ra-Seru to summon a Seru, which will then do a powerful Seru-move (that the Seru never used in battle, I might add) on your enemies or your party, it depends on the Seru. Attack gives you two options, Auto and Command. Auto works just like any other battle system attack. Command allows you to select which regions of the monster you would like to attack, and what you would like to use on it. (Left/Arms, Right/RaSeru.)
If you strike upon the right combinations, you can unleash a powerful attack (Arts) on your enemy, which will knock off a little more to a WHOLE lot more than just a random combination. 'Tis a beautiful system. 5/5
All in all, it's a great game. I know EXACTLY what I'd like for my birthday.

This was the first RPG I had ever played, I really enjoyed the game play, and I liked the storyline that the characters followed, another review said that the characters were really two-dimensional, obviously, they had never played the Playstation Underground Exclusive Demo, I hope that this game will come out for PSP, because I'd really like it.
Amazing.

This is the game that got me started loving rpg's. Without this game, I would probobly never play rpg's today. I had seen this game in Blockbuster numerous times, but it never appealed to me. Then one day my friend brought it over to my house and said that I HAD to play it...so I did...and I fell in love with it. The innovative battle system...the seru and ra-seru...the story...the characters...the cut-scenes...everything about the game I loved. So I went out and rented it, and must have rented it 20 times, I never beat it because blockbuster stopped stocking it, but I was REALLY close and I realy wish that I had bought it. Still to this day, I think about this game all the time and wish that I had bought it, why I dont just go out and buy it myself? A few reasons...one, I'm worried that i might not like it as much as i used to and ill be dissapointed(although i probobly wont), 2, i might HATE the ending, and 3, i might never finish it because i dont feel like playing it (this happens to me all the time with console rpg's.
This is the best rpg game in the world

This game was one of the first and one of the best RPG's I've ever played. The graphics were wonderful, and I loved the battle style. The characters were interesting, especially the perky girl character *her name escapes me* who reminded me of my best friend. I just ordered this game as my original copy was stolen long ago. I can't wait to play again!
Captivating Story

The story is the best, engrossing and addicting the game is a refreshing challenge without overdoing it. It's not too long and drawn out, but a good length. Not the best graphics compared to other rpgs but the colors and art are excellent. Not only does this game take coordination as all games but its a mental challenge. The characters are fun and not super involved.... this is a game not a tragic post modern novel like some rpgs are. Anyways all in all I would say a definite buy. I have already played it three times and am going to start my fourth soon.
One of the most UNDERATED games ever

This game is one of the best games for PS. Although no one knows it, because it came out around the same time FF7 did. Don't get me wrong, FF7 is one of my favorite games, but Legend of Legaia is a great game. The fighting system is a big swing from FF7, more innovative, and the different types of arts you can learn are very cool. The graphics are good too, especially when you use a hyper art, if you have the game you know what I mean. The storyline is great despite what other people say. I cannot wait until the second one comes out for PS2.
This game is cooler that FF by an inch

This was the first rpg game i have ever played,it was also the best((next to chrono cross))rpg i ever played.I agree with 'the man who loves rpgs' edgar huntley apparantly knows nothing of rpgs don't listen to him,it because of him the game has 4 and 1/2 stars!anyway,you get to have 3 characters,no more stressing to switch around all the time.the battle sytem rules!even around 3 years after the game was created i still say it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.the only reason you shouldn't play this is if you hate rpgs.other wise buy it even if ur just starting it rules.
Legend of the greatest game.
