Legend of Legaia was a great game, and it still is. It is unfortunate that many overlook this game due to the commotion of the Final Fantasy series. This game revolves around a mist blanketing the Legaia world, and then three characters to save it. The characters, Vahn, Noa, and Gala are out to save the world. This game represents Sony's best. It has themes such as love(Vahn and Noa), tragedy(deaths), and so much more. It also has cute moments of Noa, the cutesy girl, and all in all, this is a great game. It has a wonderful original battle system, allowing you to choose what move to make, not just attack, or defend. It has great graphics; the fighting graphics of the characters are like Tekken 3. I think this is one of the best rpg's I've played. Nope, it's the best rpg I've played.
The game has also an added feature: the characters actually change they're battle equipment after new equipment has been equipped. I thought this was so cool. The sound in the game is great. It has a total "I want to play this game again" tone. The game also has real world values, such as learning to cope with dead loved ones, and other themes such as telling the person you love that you love them .I hope this review helped. Well that's it. Great work Sony, this was the best!

Good Game

I first played this game in 2000, and I absolutely loved it! It's not my favorite game out there, but it ranks up there in my favs. The music in this game is repetitive, but still nice to listen to(it's not that bad, just repetitive), so when I got sick of it, I just turned the volume down. I thought the Seru and Ra-Seru concepts were cool, with the way you could aquire the Seru so your Ra-Seru could summon them in battle. The story was pretty interesting, there's enough there to keep you going, and the battle system was wonderful, a real masterpiece. In battle (when you're using attacking), you press up, down, left, or right on your controller(the order that you pressed them in shows up in the blank area on the "attack" screen after you enter it) to attack. If you press certain sequences of directions/arrows into the on-screen space, a message of sorts will appear, telling you your character has learned a new art (fighting move), or something like that (the point I'm getting at is that you'll be notified BRIEFLY once your character learns a new move). After you've learned an Art, you can pull up a menu from the ATTACK screen(with the triangle on your controller, I think)that has that move listed on it so you can remember how to type the sequence of directions/arrows for that move correctly. Also, later in the game, your characters can perform Super-Arts and Miracle Arts as well. Minigames like fishing to earn items and more are also available. There's lots of hidden treasure, too. Here's my ratings for all of the elements of this game (out of a possible ten points):

Music: 6/10
Gameplay: 9 and a half/10
Storyline: 8/10
Replay Value(Minigames,secrets, etc.): 8 and a half/10
Sound Effects: 8/10

Overall, I think I'll give this game a 8 and a half/10.

Challenging and a Different Style of Play

Legend of Legaia is a pretty good game. There are only two negative things that I can say about this game. One, the fighting gets a little boring with you getting in random fights every 10 seconds. The other thing is that catching Seru (the magic) is very hard. That would be fine but the damage that it causes is barely more than the physical attacks and the magic points it takes up means you can't cast that much more magic or you won't have any left. Also, you have to wait through a movie each time you cast a spell. Some good things include: It has a wonderful story line and the music is great especially on the bosses. It is nice how you get new weapons but getting the gold for them is hard. Each fight you get about 24 gold and weapons range from 200 to 5000 gold. Last, the story has some good guys and only 5 major bad guys. This means that before almost every boss fight, one of the bad guys, (mainly Songi) talks to you. On the ending, Legend is a pretty good game.

Great Game with a Single Flaw

I loved this game, I bought it not knowing what it was and I got sucked in by its originality... I love how you can summon the enemies you defear (well some anyway), and It had a good story line, and great graphics and gameplay. The one thing I didn't like was the battles... they're GREAT at first, but after a while, they get repetitive, take a while, especially when trying to kill without magic, and the boss battles are almost all the exact same thing after you learn certain things... I was easily able to put up with the game though because the rest made up for it!

ITS COOL

Legend of Legeia is my favorite game, its cool because you get to play as six characters some who know martial arts [the humans:Vahn,Noa,and Gala]and some who do magic [the ra-seru: Meta, Terra,and Ozma].Its also neat because when you find books you can teach a special hyper art to one team [Vahn and Meta,Noa and Terra,or Gala and Ozma]. Its a fun game try it.

I've played a lot of games(yeah, I know no life)but this game is one i'll truly always remember. The battles are the coolest things in the game as well as the music. I can't get over how cool the characters sound when they do a combo and tight that looks. You can't beat that this is the only game by Sony that I will replay over again. The story's good, but not anything like Squares. I love it. I wanna see a sequel. Sony please don't change the battle system. Also keep Vahn, Gala, and Noa just have Vahn talk or something I don't like that multiple choice thing. The ending needed a lot of work( I mean there technically wasn't one) But when you bypass all that it's cool.

I love this game!

Legend of Legaia is a must for die hard RPG fans! If you are a new-comer to RPGs, this game may be the one to get you started. Although leveling up can become frusterating at times, the ensuing storyline will more than make up for it! The first time through was excellent, especially the fact that one is unaware of things to come. Replays may become boring so play at your own discretion!

Best RPG I've played

This game is really fun to play. One bad thing is that every ten steps you get into another battle. The other thing is that it takes too long to get around the world. Those are pretty much the only bad things in the game but they do get annoying. The way the battles work is really cool. You control three characters with three different specialities, speed, strengh and intelligence. You have a certain amount of orders you can put in the comand-bar which grows as the game goes on.You have to gain levels in order to learn more combos. The bosses are challenging and are fun to fight.

Good but not great

This game was a disappointment for me, but don't let that scare you away, it is still a good game, I just wouldn't recommend it to those who aren't die hard RPG fans. The most interesting part is the battle system, but regretfully it also contributed to the downfall of the game; it is very similar to Xenogears (you can almost consider it as a ripoff,) and although its fun to find different combinations in the beginning, the battles becomes rather long and tedious, inputing battle commands is a chore rather than fun. Story is solid but isn't really that different from the existing games, hero and friends looking for the source of this mysterious mist that is causing monsters to go crazy. Graphics and music aren't bad, this will be a change of pace from Final Fantasy VIII and Grandia, and will keep you busy until Saga Frontier II, Final Fantasy IX and many others comes out in the year 2000. This is a fairly average game and unless you're a RPG fan, play at your own discretion. Score: 81/100.

The game was Ok. It was just too long. Also, it was almost impossible to do w/o the strategy guide. You've really got to level up, so it can get boring, but overall, it's a really good game. The graphics are cool, and the spells ROCK!
