As Vahn, you are on a quest to rid the world of the mist that is spreading death and destruction. This is a game with a good story, easy to master battle system, and reasonably good graphics. Legaia is a good game for those new to the RPG genre. It is easy to figure out the controls, relatively short, and has a straight forward story line with decent characters. Lots-a-fun!

The Best game EVER!

I loved this game! The charachters are great. It's not too easy, yet you aren't stuck in any really hard spots that you just can't beat. It's pretty long and there's always more to do. .just when you think it's ended it hasn't. The graphics are pretty good. The story just blows me away. . .I've been obsessed with this game for weeks untill I finally defeated it. I desperately hope there is a sequal!

WHAT A COOL GAME!

The story is great! The dialogue is often amusing & the magic spells are awesome to behold! The only bad thing I have to say is travel on the map is SLOW & money doesn't accumulate fast! Used or new-get this game!

This is a great game. Most RPGs these days are exactally alike, they all follow Squaresoft's example. Not this game, it has a very unique fighting style, and an enjoyable storyline. It is a must-have for any RPG collection

You play as Vahn a 14 year old boy from a small town. he lives in a world full of evil monsters and a horrible mist. Using the help of a young girl and a warrior monk you cansummon the monters to do your bidding. It is not a well known game but deserves great recignition. It has a new battle style similar to that of a fighting game and is all around a good game for beginners or advanced players.

I love this game. The graphics, dialogue, battle system, and the characters. You start as a 14 year old boy named Vahn, who lives in Rim Elm, a town full of survivors from the Mist. You revive "Genesis Trees" that reflect the Mist and Seru. Other characters that play important parts are Noa, Gala, and Mei. THIS IS A MUST HAVE game. I've tried other games like Final Fantasy VIII, which has far better graphics, and great dialogue, but it's just way too long.

A truly spectacular game

I will make this short and sweet. I loved this game. The graphics are awsome. The storyline is superb. And the battle system rules. So I recomend to all RPG fans that you walk your lazy behinds to the local game retailer and spend a measly 20 bucks on this game.

This game has the best battle system ever

This game rocks. I really liked how you could do stuff like action combos in a role playing game. Some combos lead to extra moves. You probably won't be paying attntion to the story line, you'll probably be wondering what's the next move. ZLet me tell you this though: there is one move that you have to guess for, takes up 99 ap, and costs up to 13-16 hits(up, right, down, left.
So buy this game, especially if you like action/role playing games

AWESOMELY ORIGINAL!

In 1999 everyone had gotten all excited about Final Fantasy VIII (what a mistake that was) while THIS game would be the one to keep RPGers satisfied until then. While it clearly isn't that remarkable for the new generation, Legend of Legaia was every RPGers dream. A rich well thought out Battle system with an excellent storyline to boot. Not only that but the game was extremely difficult. A vast world full of sidequests and mini games as well as one of the hardest optional bosses in RPG HISTORY!

First the graphics. This was probably one of the last RPGs made to use the blocky polygons, but the graphics were exquisite. Especially in battle. When seeing characters in battle the game actually viewed your characters in full armor! If you took armor off and placed on a different armor it showed! When did Final Fantasy do THAT? Outside of battle the graphics are colorful and towns are nice and easy to navigate.

Now for what I think made Legend of Legaia pretty interesting as far as RPGs go. The battle system was probably one of the best battle systems I saw. First you selected to fight in a battle. Then with each character you selected several chains to connect together to form a combo (think of Street Fighter). You watch them perform the combo and do an art technique that consumed AP. The only way to gain your AP back was to be attacked, attack without using arts or to select a command called "Spirit" (which replaces what we often call "Defend" or "Guard"). The only flaw with this system? Well gaining AP takes longer than it actually sounds and for that battles get to be VERY long. Boss battles can take as long as an hour because of this.

The storyline is that God created humans. But the humans were unable to fend off monsters that covered the land. So God gave them a power in which to aid them. It was called the seru. Humans grew reliable on Seru and began to do things that they otherwise couldn't do. Things such as fly, or become incredibly strong. But one day that came to an end when out of nowhere the mist covers the land in which the humans live on. The mist causes the seru to go insane and attack the humans casuing disaster in the land of Legaia. Thus the Legend begins!

Learning magic wasn't entirely original but it was different from what I was used to. You were bestowed with a Ra-Seru and when you attacked certain enemies they would either die or they would turn into a magic spell for you to keep. This was a great idea but learning magic is very annoying at times when you must fight the same enemies over and over again.

My cons with the game. The character developement is pretty bad. The characters don't act their age. It's nice that they have a background on them though. So I guess these characters are developed in some ways but they're very unbelievable. The other con is that while the game is difficult it get's disturbingly easy as you go through...well somewhat. EVERY MOMENT in this game before the Final Boss is really hard...then you get to that final boss and he's so incredibly easy. Another bad thing about the game is that there is this hidden boss named Lapis who does several points of damage to you. This is one of the hardest bosses in Legend of Legaia and possibly RPG history. What makes it bad though is that the reward for defeating him is nothing special so of course defeating the boss is only for bragging rights.

The music in this game is superb. The moment is always set and the music makes you feel as if you're in a fantasy. A type of music that I don't always get. The game is also full of mini games and sidequests as well. Not only that but the way the story unfolds is by far one of the best ways to tell this kind of story. At first it seems like a cliche but it's much more than that.

Overall
