    Default Legend of Dragoon

    I am trying this game again. The battle button presses turned me off the first time, but I am powering through it. Not too far yet, just met Lavitz's mom

    Anyone play this game? Have any tips for me? Want to share your thoughts?

    Also the script, oh my gosh

    The combat also made me quit the game.

    I don't want to be that person, but this game was developed by Sony. Not Square Enix

    I liked the game and still have it in my collection. I can remember getting all the way to disc 2 after what felt like a REALLY long time (disc 1 is long). But it's been so long since I played it I can't remember much of it to really offer any solid advice.

    I quite liked this game. The additions didn't bother me as much as stuff like that usually does.

    My advice is that you should prioritize building additions which give good growth for your dragoon levels. (When you get dragoons)

    You get better at the combat buttons. It becomes am interesting challenge.

    I loved this game. It's one of my all time favorites. There's hidden stardust around the game too that if you get all of them you can fight an extra boss.

    I played about 10 hours on my PSP, but apparently if you play on anything that has to emulate the game, then there's a bug in the emulation where if you go dragoon mode in a boss fight then the game freezes after the fight. So it became a slog of just playing like a normal game and not using dragoons like you're supposed to, and I felt I was missing out on the point of the game so I gave up. I'm not sure if this has been patched, or if certain systems emulate better than others. I don't think I've heard of anyone having problems on PS3, so you may be safe if that's what you're using, since PS3 can play PS1 games out of the box that probably has something to do with it. PS2 should be able to play it fine as well, though I ran into some weird issues playing Xenogears on my PS2 so I'm not sure how that works

    Just something to be wary of. Outside of that, I did enjoy what I played of the game. It's fairy basic as far as plot and characters. But it's not so minimal as to be unenjoyable. It's competent and gets the job done well enough for me

    I'm playing it on the PS2, but I have a PS1 ready to go if I need to. Just need to move the memory card. Thanks for the headsup!

    I need to get this game on a stable system so I can play through it proper. Maybe once I'm satisfied padding my PS2 collection I'll work on PSOne

    I tried this game a couple years ago. When I first started this game I was like, hey this looks like FFVII! But the translation is horrendous and the combat can be slow and clunky. I'd swear I have those button presses down right but then I would miss the next 5 of them. The game didn't age well.

    I just wrote a modern game review!

    This game is rough now, but I still finding it charming and enjoyable. Plus I really like the music.

    The voice acting was atrocious, but it didn't matter then. A PS1 game with voice acted FMVs?!?!? OMG, SUCK IT SQUARE.
