Legend of Dragoon for PlayStation 1

Pros: Mostly uses the right cliches and rip-offs
Cons: Uses cliches and rip-offs. Battle system completely sucks

Kudos to Sony. They know exactly what to rip off and from whom.

That being said, they had a lot of guts advertising their biggest rpg effort as a "Final Fantasy killer". Calling Legend of Dragoon a Final Fantasy killer...

Pros: Very Good Graphics, Refreshing "Addition" system...
Cons: Story (for the most part), Music...

The Influence of RPGs on the Video Game Industry
Nowadays RPGs are taking the market by storm, they are one of the fastest selling genres out in this day and age. With powerhouse RPG developers Enix and Squaresoft making millions upon...

Pros: Not a bad early RPG
Cons: Doesn't stand up well to today's games.

Ask anyone to name a Role Playing Game on the Playstation and they’ll immediately say ‘Final Fantasy’. Ask them to name another and they'll come up with a varying list, with a couple of titles to the fore. Final Fantasy set the standard ...

Pros: Nice graphics sometimes,cool combat system
Cons: bad loading times, bad music, uneven graphic display

I am only a few hours into the first disc and this game has already fallen prey to some of the most overused cliche's of the RPG world.

The mysterious main characters parents were killed by some dark, evil forces when he was a child. He wishes...

Pros: cinemas, gameplay
Cons: some glitches here and there

The Dragon Campaign, A fight between the Winglies and Dragoons, two different species battling it out. The Winglies had help from mysterious dragons, however despite this the Dragoons prevailed.


Now thousands of years after The Dragon...

Pros: Background Scenes, Animated Movies, Captivating Story-line, Easy to Learn
Cons: Predictability, Boxy Foreground, Unchallenging to Advanced Gamers

With all the hype Legend of the Dragoon was getting, I was so desperate to play this game that I bought it on vacation even though I had no Playstation to play it on for at least another week. I spent my entire vacation pulling out the large case just to...

Pros: Graphics, FMV, story, and characters are spectacular!
Cons: A bit on the easy side, character animations, and characters not unlike Final Fantasy VII.

You know, if games were movies, The Legend of Dragoon would have hired basically the whole cast from Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife returns as Dart, Tifa Lockhart as Shana, Aeries Gainsborough with dyed hair returns as Miranda, a Yuffie...

Pros: Story, great backgrounds, innovative battle system, easy, voice overs
Cons: Character models, the messed up battle system that could have been great, and its too easy

I'm not really a fan of Sony. I just don't see them do too much high quality work. Here and there they are able to produce some good games. This is one of those games. Though it isn't a break-through in gaming it is still a decent RPG. It has a good...

Pros: The best magical effects for ANY RPG game!
Cons: The battle system takes time to get used to; lack of the best FMV ever.

Wild Arms was Sony's first step to becoming a great RPG company like their largest third company supporters, Squaresoft. Now, The Legend of Dragoon makes them even more redeeming in this year's number one title (if nothing else is as good).

Pros: very interactive, good graphics, voice overs
Cons: on rails world map, humorous enemy IA

Ever since last September with the release of Final Fantasy VIIII, RPG fans have been patently awaiting the arrival of the next truly great PRG. Well the wait is now over and even more surprisingly this one doesn't come from square, this one comes right...

Pros: Like Final Fantasy 7? You'll like this. Character stories, graphics, FMV
Cons: Sometimes to much like FF7

This Interview took place October 22, 2000 and involves Dart, Lavitz, and Shana: three of the main characters in The Legend of Dragoon.

As I walked through town to get to the forest, I got a sense of meloncholy. What would get a town,...

Pros: visually excellent, challenging but not impossible, captivating story
Cons: addicting, button mashers will have a hard time successfully fighting battles

I am not what you would call an avid gamer. In fact, I'm more of a button masher, but I live with a gamer with a soft spot for playing RPGs. Over the course of the past couple of years, I've sat and watched him play a few including Breath of Fire,...

Pros: Stunning prerendered backdrops, ditto the FMV, Fantastic battle engine
Cons: Terrible storyline pacing and execution, characters are funnier and dumber than Chris Rock

---------Legend of Dragoon PSX Review--------------------


Damn people gonna hate the Xeno3998 for this. My reviews of RPGs normally annihilate games like Legend of Dragoon, and yet, I'm giving this game my highest RPG...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Legend of Dragoon was released very recently. It spans 4 discs, and has some of the best visuals found on any PlayStation RPG. The quality of this game seems to surpass the two most recent installments of the Final Fantasy Series, and many other RPG's...

Pros: Great graphics, story, and gameplay
Cons: Not much voice acting

Finally, it's about time somebody came out with a role playing game I enjoyed. Wait, back up, let me start over. I should fill you in on my past RPGing history first. Back in the day of Zelda for SNES, I was a RPG maniac. Slowly but surely my...
