Sony did not mess up with this game, Legend of Dragoon has got to be one of the best RPGs that I have experienced. The storyline is great, with many captivating characters and twists. Basically the story follows a man named Dart, whom is seeking vengence for the destruction of his village and the deaths of his parents by the creature dubbed as the "Black Monster". While on his trek, Dart encounters an arsenal of intriguing individuals, including his childhood friend Shana, and the mysterious warrior Rose. There are many powerful enemies to face in this world of dragons and mayhem, and one must be ready for anything that crosses your path.

In this game there are two particular battle methods that make this game unique and more fun than other RPGs. Additions are one new addition(no pun intended) that make this RPG more interesting and challenging. When attacking, the player must press the x button in correspondence to a pattern, which increases the potency of the attack. Additions can vary from 2 hits up to difficult 7 and 8 hit combinations. Mastery of these additions is vital to being sucessful in this game.

Another intriguing aspect of this game is the power of Dragoon. The Dragoon is a winged warrior with power attacks, and elemental magic. In order to activate a successful Dragoon Attack, one must push the x button at just the right time.

Overall I found this game to very fun and amusing, yeah sure the graphics are a little primative compared to PS2 and PS3 games, but regardless it does not take away from the fun factor of this game.

Great Game

This game is a very fun experience with a great storyline. If you can pull yourself away from the next-gen graphics for awhile you should definitely give Legend of Dragoon a try you wont regret it!

I absolutely love this game. It is by far the best one for PS1 however for some reason my copy has a bad glitch after a boss fight on disc 2. Fight works great but when you try to continue you get a beutiful black screen. Have done all I can. No scratches, new game, bad glitch.

Great RPG

The Legend of Dragoon is a great RPG
(Role Playing Game). Though some critics would say it was Sony's poor attempt to make the typical RPG story/gameplay, others say that it was Sony's successful release before the arrival of the PS2.

To me, this game is one of my favorite games. It has a good story as well as memorable characters. The fighting system is based upon combo attacks, where you must hit the designated key at the right time to preform the attack and add additional damage when more hits are in the combo (obviously).

The game has beautiful environments. The cities, caves, woods, etc look great considering it being a PS1 title, all unique.

If you are a fan of RPG's or just oldschool games in general, it's definately worth playing.

Super fun even to watch someone else play!!!

i personally don't play the game. But, it is very interesting and fun to watch my son play it!! With all of the places you can enter different areas on the map and watching all the interesting battles, this game never looses your attention, even if you're not personally playing the game!!!! Great product.

This game is awsome, I am still finding new things on it to peak my interest

A Rather Muddled RPG, But Still Capable of Delivering Some Enjoyment

As my title states, Legend of Dragoon can only be described as "muddled". This game has several failings that cannot be ignored, but if you give it a chance, you may still garner some enjoyment out of this average RPG. On to the review!

Graphics (8/10): Not the greatest, but not too irritating. This, of course, is a matter of opinion, but the graphics did not seem to bothersome at all.

Music (6/10): Well, the music ranges from not so good to decent. There's really nothing about the music that would make me want to buy the soundtrack. The songs are all rather bland and unmemorable, while not being terrible enough to make your ears bleed or anything. The voice-acting, which is limited, is kind of laughable. Overall, the bland music and not-so-good voice acting brings down the score in this section.

Characters (5/10): The characters really aren't well-developed. They either have stereotypical personalities or are just plain uninteresting. Sometimes their actions were not convincing at all. For example, one person is traveling with the party to find his daughter who ran away. He then goes on and on about not knowing why she left when you clearly find out in a flashback that he criticized her and slapped her for something she wasn't really at fault for. Hmmm...I wonder why she ran away? And then, after hearing this story, the rest of the party sides with him and does not point out the obvious reason she ran away. Another example of awkward character development is the romance between Dart and Shana. Yes, she's naive and soft-spoken and he's the big hero and they fall in love. Yes, we've all seen this before. That's not even my complaint. The romance between them was badly handled by the game developers. It seems as though Shana is the only one in love with Dart; he sees her more as a little sister. This creates some awkward moments between them. I think the main romantic scene of the game is very awkward. Instead of Dart and Shana voluntarily getting together, the rest of the party members sort of connive to force them together at a party. Then, out on a balcony, every time the scene between them becomes serious and they are about to kiss, some random NPC shows up and ruins the moment. I find this odd attempt at humor to be ill-placed and intrusive. I never really got the impression that Dart and Shana loved each other, instead I felt that the rest of the party loved the idea of getting them together. Rose is the only character who seems interesting and has some back story. Overall, the game is riddled with character interactions like those above, this really makes it difficult to care about these characters (other than Rose!).

Story (5/10): Once again, "stereotypical" is the word of the day. Guess who's father may be a villian? No really, guess! Seriously, the rest of the story feels like one disjointed event after another. I never felt a sense of continuity with the story, and the final villian seems to come from nowhere. I never saw it coming, IN A BAD WAY! I mean, the game really could have used some foreshadowing or building up for the final villian. All that aside, the game's story does have some high points, the "mythological" feel of the game is interesting, and although I can't remember for the life of me what all actually happened during the story, I had fun while playing through it.

Battle System (7/10): Well, it's turn based. Not much to say there. My only real complaint was with the Additions. While I mostly liked the originality of this element, it was somewhat irritating at times. The goal is to hit the X button at just the right time to execute your attack. If you miss even one in the string, your attack does pitiful damage. As it can be quite difficult to get all of them in a longer string, I was often forced to use weaker Additions instead of the stronger, (and longer) ones. Aside from that aspect, the Dragoon system was fun. I only wish there were some way to revert out of Dragoon mode, and also to cast magic outside of Dragoon mode. Despite my complaints, I found most of the battle system to be not too annoying.

Gameplay (6/10): Wow. There's alot of backtracking. This can get tedious; I think I went through some placed three times. Another issue I have with gameplay is that in disc 2, the game forces you to insert disc 1 again to get into some of the towns. What nonsense is this?! I don't think I've ever played another RPG that had this problem. This is what lowers the score most for this section. Other than the things listed above, I don't have any other issues with gameplay.

Overall (6/10): NOTE this score is not an average, it's my subjective overall score. While Legend of Dragoon does not measure up to so many other RPGs out there, oddly I still enjoyed it. This is certainly not the worst RPG out there, it's just not the best either. Since it's so inexpensive now (at the time of writing this; July 2008), it wouldn't hurt to pick this game up and give it a chance. You may at least get some amusement out of laughing at the bad dialogue.

Good solid RPG type playstation game. Obviously not in production anymore. Battle system is easy to use and coherent as a whole. Graphics, back then, are good but don't compare to the Next generation graphics. Awesome story line.

Awesome RPG game.
If you are into FF, you should give this one a chance. It is not as complicated but still provided hours and hours of entertainment for the whole family.
Graphics are old school (considering the new consoles), but still fun to play.
NOTE: This psONE title may not work properly on PS2. It's a hit or miss. Worst case, get a cheap PSOne from amazon... =)
