I already made this thread
You don't need to ask anybody if you should buy a game. If you want to buy it, buy it. You might be surprised and actually like it.
As you can see, everyone has thier own opinion, and you should respect them, but what you need to do is what YOU want to do.
Oh, My opinion? It was fun. Cliched, but fun.
What game is most like it.
So is it alot like FF or like star ocean
i used to not like it since it :p was the like the only rivaling RPG against VIII :yuck: when it came out, but it's quite good :meditate: .
Please be warned there may be some spoilers... such as I may hint at future characters, or right out name them.Quote:

In some areas there are no random battles, but if you bump into the enemy there is a battle(such as in the Chrono Series). In other areas there are "random" battles... but they aren't exactly random because you have a "danger meater" that tells you when you will roughly get in battle... basically red means danger approaches.
The battle system has already been commented upon, but I'll rehash it. You must in order to do realitive damage pull of Combo moves by hitting the button at the right time... this is quite entertaining till you have it down to memorisation then it becomes easy. However the opponent is capable of attempting to counter your combo... you will get hurt if you don't avoid the counter.
The magic(Dragoon) system is interesting at first... but well the damage comes from the combos. Unless you are Shana.. .her Dragoon form is actually quite useful. However also in Dragoon form you can pull off physical combos, which for me was slighlty easier then the later combos, but more difficult then the first lvl combos. It still doesnt' deal as much damage though(unless you are shana but she is special)
The story is simple but complete. The story is cliche'ed but can be fun. All the loose ends(or most of them) are tied up in the end so the speculations that FF's have aren't as applicatable.
While the battle system is the most remarkable thing in this game, the characters do shine. True they are cliche... but so are many FF characters.. but people still love them. In fact LoD has one of my fav characters of all time, the Martial Artist Haschel. Oh boy is he ever cool.. high evade, decent speed and attack.. low defence and really shouldn't go dragoon unless you want special effects :P. I'll give you a synops on him... so be warned this is a definate spoiler;
(SPOILER)Also Haschel can be quite funny, namely i remember the part after Rose and dart return to the party after being dumped off of the ship, Meru asked if Rose and dart cuddled and Haschel said it was rude to ask, and then he went and asked the question himself . Also i like his dragoon physical attack:) Jumps up and blasts ya with energy, it has gotta be one of the cooler dragoon physica
Anyways you should try it, unless you really don't like the sound of it... the game is simple... but it is relaxing and fun.(btw the scene above is funnier when you actually see it :P)
thanks
I might get it but only if its on cheap ( and when I mean cheap I mean cheap )
Sound like a cool game to play on my 3-week holiday :)
definantly overcliched, as everyone else said. The game was really good, but the ending wasn't the best. Overall, it's a great game, despite it's flaws.
Can a admin lock one or something so a continuation can come from one of them? We don't need two threads about the same thing!!!!!!Quote:

You made a thread asking if anyone liked this game. Gibbi made a thread asking opinions, if he should purchase this game. Not the same thread. And I'll risk being a bit of a modwhore and say that, if you think a thread should be closed, use the warn button feature. It makes the admins job a lot easier and thus mine a lot easier, because then Shlup doesnt take out her rage on my face xD (kidding).
OMG Legend of Dragoon is awesome!!! If anything play it for the wonderful/colorful backgrounds and towns! And wow the locations T_T and the videos!!! XD This was one of the first RPGs I'd seen back then that actually had voice acting!!! OMG remembering this game makes me cry! It has soo many nice memories for me.
This game, FF8, and CC+CT, are my top games of all times! ^_^; Probably because they where the first games I had played.lol
I love the Dragoons in battle system! omg, I used to want to be oneXD!
I think the characters are cute and original and the plot is soo interesting and certainly not cliche!!!
I think I'm gonna have to go play it again now! ^____^//
Although, If you dont have the patience to lvl up... I highly suggest lvl cheats for this game... cause I can see how lvling might get annoying, especially if you can't do the timed button attacks.
I beat it once without, but the second time, I couldn't risist cheats. xD
This was also the first RPG I beat without a guide book, back when I was new to RPGs.
Does anybody out there remember the Website for this game? back when it came out???
OMG it was soo cool! it was like a mockup archeological dig, where they discovered a human body with a dragon-wing-like things coming out of its back! and it really made it seem like it was real!!! XD but the site dissapeared a long time ago...T_T
