Best RPG for the PS1. Highly recommended
You don't have to sray around and troll the thread if you don't like the game. I personnaly loathe Chrono Cross and found it quite boring, but I don't go around the CC forum and express it in size 7 bold Comic Sans font.Quote:

I never got to finish it because my disc three got damaged. But it was still one of the best games I've played. I loved the combo system and I'm still waiting for a remake or a sequel(though I know it will probally never happen.) I still think Lloyd would have made a great FF villian.
It was a decent game, and I had fun playing it, but I really don't get all of the enthusiasm about the additions system. It's mostly really repetitive, unique no doubt, but after a while, tedious. I didn't like the items system very much, although it did force you to more carefully consider what you wanted or needed to put in each of the 32 (or however many) slots.
The main gripe (I like to gripe...) I have about this game is the dialogue. I mean, does nobody have any standards regarding the believability of the dialogue!? The interaction between the characters reads like a conversation between adolescent robots...or something.
My purpose is not just to rag on the game, I state these criticisms because I do like the game. I just think it could have been better. Its PS1 graphics were pretty clean and the in-battle voices were a nice touch...there I ended saying something nice.
Wow I didn't think there was anything worse than CAPS LOCK TALKING until now, i'll leave out what I'm talking about though to prevent any "stir-ups".
Though, about the game itself, LOD is an amazing game, especially the battle system. The story line is actually pretty decent as well, if you get into it, but I do admit the begining is kinda slow and sub-par compared to the rest of the game.
Overall, 8/10.
I heard alot of people say that Legend of Dragoon was just a rip-off of final fantasy 7
I played it a long time ago, don't remember much of it

Umm.. they're nothing alike.. at all.. especially the battle system. Only thing I can possibly think of that is *partially* similiar is the Devine Tree and lifestream, which isn't exactly a good reason to say it "ripped" off Final Fantasy 7.Quote:

Then again, I have diffeent likes nd dislikes abvout graphic styles, like FFX/X-2, I thought the graphics were boring, I prefer FFIX and Baten Kaitos's artistic graphic style.
The battle system was different, but there wasnt much you could do, and at times I just like to play RPGs without concentrating on button presses and timing, which is why I eventually just get Ultimate Wargods for everyone. This is also why I disike Shadow Hearts Covenant, the Judgement Ring system reminded me too much of Additions.
The music isnt that good either, I found most rather bland and unmemorable. Music is one of the MAJOR things about games to me, especially in an RPG. Also, I found the story rather lacking. This game needs a sequel/prequel or two. What attracted me to the game in the first place (As many probably are) were the Dragoons. I mean, transforming into an awesome suit of armour with wings, lol
Also, it seems to be bug filled, and jams very easily. When I defeat Feyrbrand and Graham, almost everytime I enter Lohan afterwards without saving, it jams, making me do that battle AGAIN. Ive also noted the odd translation. At some points, it makes no sense. EG: Volcano Villude is sometimes called Volcano Viludo, ive seen it on signs, and seen people say it, despite the actual location being "Villude"
Also the MAJOR thing that puts me off the game, is the fact that my file somehow ends up deleted or corrupt, ive never ever gotten to the Divine Dragon.
Another thing that really annoys me, is that you CANNOT leave the Moon That Never Sets. Meaning that you have to fight the secret boss, Magician Faust, at low levels and so on. Of course (SPOILER)Lavitz's death really annoyed me, but when something like that happens, it ALWAYS annoys me, no matter what game it is.
Its not a bad game, it just isnt one of my favourites.
Lavitz was one of the cooler characters, but my favorite will always be Kongol.
yeh kongol was good but i think the haschel was good when you get his full dragoon combo in.
(SPOILER)Spoiler: The only thing I see in common is that a main character is killed by a silver haired guy with a swordQuote:

Man I was defoed with Reine's spoiler. I remember when that happened, I was like "NNNOOOOOO!!!" But as for LOD copying 7, psh. What fool told you that?
