The true RPG games. |
| Bruce Lee from USA says (11/Sep/2000): |
The legeng of dragoon is the top game out of adventure games like ff7. ff7's nothing compared to the dragoon. Its the best graghic game I've ever seen the charactures are so cool. If you were to buy ff7 i recimend you to buy dragoon. The way they transform is awsome too. A little more diffrent from ff7 how they fight but thats the good part. I hope they make part 2. i'd realy buy the game but a little too much. but no problem you should definitly buy the dragoon. If you buy ff7 your missing out on the good stuff. Instead of 10 I give it 15. don't believe use try it yourself to know the true thing of this game.

The King of RPG's |
| Delevan from Georgia, USA says (27/Oct/2000): |
The Legend of Dragoon is the most enjoyable role playing game that I have played and enjoyed for some time. It is a relaxing break from the worn out Final Fantasy series which I say Squaresoft has went more toward graphics than story and the FF series has lost its flavor. Although The Legend of Dragoons' map outlay resembles FF somewhat it is 10 times better than any other rpg out there. The fact that it took them 3 years to make this game shows in its great graphics, original battle systems, awsome transformations, and a terrific story. This is a must have for any rpg and non rpg fans.

This is a seriously sweet game |
| D.H. from Denver, USA says (22/Nov/2000): |
This is your average rpg game with a large twist. The characters can change into cool dragon-human creatures with super strength. The battle style is different from most games with additions to attacks magic without and with transformation and a few other little secrets. It has four discs with a $hit load off playing time and an entricate plot you wouldn't belive. Unlike most American games it has about five hundred different creatures and a hundred of those are bosses. You'll almost never find the same creature in two areas although you may find two of the same type like plague and normal rats. This game is extremely hard (which is part of the fun) but is beatable with time so it's not for little wusses who don't like sitting for hours glued to the screen. GET THIS GAME, it's cheaper than most but kicks serious < remove me > at $$!!!!!!!

THE GATES OF HEAVEN HAVE OPENED, AND THERE IS |
| Grimace from North Bay, Canada eh! says (14/Dec/2000): |
With many, many good RPGs out there, it is hard to put one at the top of the list. FF7 was incredible, FF8 was disappointing, Vagrant was OK, but now, with the introduction of The Legend of Dragoon, the effort to put one at the top of the list is finally possible. A word on graphics: With enhanced character rendering and killer cinematics, LOD is in a class of its own (for example, when Rose and Dart fall off the Queen Fury, the cinematic of the war between Dragoon and Winglies is amazing). The game's sounds also contribute to its greatness, with the pleasing world map sounds to the chilling boss music, it is second to none. There are many games out there with confusing controls as well as numerous unnecessary menus. LOD eliminates all of these problems with great ease thus continuing to allow easy controls and smoother, faster gameplay. There is no question about it, with so many RPGs out there, The Legend of Dragoon leads the pack. It is the pioneer for the new wave of RPG gaming, and a healthy "spokesperson" for millenium RPGs. It will be hard to replace or even match this one.
Good Gaming! - Grimace

Shear Genius! |
| Dyne Waters from Pennsylvania, USA says (24/Dec/2000): |
This game has graphics that do lack at times but the CGI scenes are the best I have ever seen. The battle system is a cross between Vagrant Story, PE, and Final Fantasy games. Slightly turn based with a twist of player effect on the battle. I give this game a 10 because currently I think that it is unparalelled by any other RPG. I have every RPG that has been put out and I definatly think that this game may even Rival FF 9.

I realy like this game but I think it could be better. |
| Alex from Tacoma (Washington) USA says (13/Jan/2001): |
Legend of Dragoon is a great game. The graphics, the movies, story, but one thing that bugs me is you can't pause really. In the FF series you can pause whenever you like just about. I admit, ff8 was a total stinker a sucks but ff7 and ff9 are big hits. I mean I was so adicted to ff9 I got on the third disk on just the third day of playing it. Legend of Dragoon is pretty adicting too but I'm still on the 1st disk in three days. It's kind of a drag on game but if they make a new Legend of Dragoon, and add this little things like pause almost whenever, and make the game go a bit faster, then it will be the greatest game ever made.

I think this game is the best adventure game out. |
| A gamer from Enid , Oklahoma says (15/Jan/2001): |
LOD has to be the greatest game out, because if you're a big action gamer like me its pretty hard to get used to adventure games, but LOD's battle format added a difficult battle to every battle. Which is great if you don't like to wait aroud while the charecters use long attacts like Blazing Dynamo, instead of becoming a true coach potatoe like Final Fanicy addicts. So in my opinon the creators of this game should make sequels to it.
I am sure it'll become a great success.

WSD's L.O.D. Review |
| A gamer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada says (9/Feb/2001): |
I loved this game. It is the best RPG I have ever played, yet it was not flawless, nonetheless. I have played it through 8 times in the last 4 months, and loved it every time.(My fastest time was 38 hours using Dart, Rose & Shana/Miranda(replace each other)) I found that even though the cinematics were quite well done, and realistic, the in-game graphics could have been better. I also would have expected, since the game is 4 discs, that there would be voice, even in the cut-scenes (non-cinematic)and that there would have been the option of turning captions on and off. I especially like the dragoon dragon summon magic, especially the white silver dragon summon that shana/miranda gets, mostly because it never does less than 1500 damage and always heals your guys!(Divides damage equally among party members to heal!) The only thing that dissappointed me about this game: I had to wear my new glasses constantly while playing and therefore had a headache after quiting most of the time! This game, over all, is peachy

A Good RPG With A Few Faults |
| Leon from USA says (19/Feb/2001): |
I dont understand why everyone thinks its so great.The storyline is really bad.The music sucks and all the characters are cheap remakes of FFVII. The graphics are ok but i've seen better.But what makes me interested in this game is the gameplay the battle system is great even though you can't carry enough items. And there are no where near as many instant battles as in FF titles.Everything else though seems to copy other things like the divine moon objects my cousin told me those were the same Divine Moon Objects as in "Sailor Moon".But other than these faults its a great game.If you cant decide between Chrono Cross and LOD let me help you....Chrono Cross!!!

CAN'T GET ANY BETTER! |
| Andrew M. from Mississauga, Ontario. Canada says (22/May/2001): |
For all you people who say that the addition system is far too complex because of all the button presses you are obviously very lazy! Unlike all you lazy people out there, I would rather have more of an involvement in fighting than just watch as it plays out. LOD surpasses every other RPG not only in the battle system but in the story line, CG movies, graphics, and overall fun factor. So for all you LOD haters, you should wake up and realize that LOD is far more superior than any other RPG!!!!

According to the letter of the aussie(2/2/2001) |
| Florian from Germany, in the near of Hamburg says (23/May/2001): |
I think absolutely the same. It is an copy of FF7, but in fact it is not that bad. The story is almost interesting, and sometimes thrilling. Well, O.K. It is not a Final Fantasy. But letīs think about Wild Arms. This game is really bad. I score it with 7/10. Because it is entertaining.
PS Sorry for the bad english (I'm german)

It just plain ol' rocks, dude! |
| Skig from NJ, USA says (17/Jun/2001): |
I gotta tell ya... this is my absolute fav game! The graphics are AWESOME... it ain't too hard (actually, I almost finished my first playthrough!), and the plot is great! It's gotten to the point that I'm almost obsessed it's so radical. The only major bummer is Lavitz's death, that totally stunk. Otherwise, 'ledgend of dragoon' rulz. 1,000,000 thumbs up!

dream come true |
| sothearoth sar from lynn, ma, usa says (7/Jul/2001): |
this is one awesome game... fromt the graphics, to the storyline... everything is off the hook, this is what i believe to be one of the best rpg i ever played and that was ever made... you get more interaction with the fighting... this game is like a dream come true... peace out, one love...

The Legend of Dragoon was a basically average game. |
| Erik from Sault Ste. Marie, Canada says (8/Jul/2001): |
Some people say that this game totally sucked. I disagree. I heard people say it was similar to Final Fantasy 7's love story between Tifa and Cloud. Maybe a little but look at FF3's Locke and Celes (even though it was less obvious)
Now I'm 14 and my first RPG ever was FF3. And you can see why this got me into RPG's and lately RPG's such as FF8 and FF8 have sort of turned me off. The Legend of Dragoon made me optimistic at first but became more interesting as the story unfolded and the second time playing it I was more interested.
However the tranlations sucked and as with alot of RPG's the random battles p****d me off. But the additions helped until I mastered them all. The music was a little weak with only a couple of songs (all of the boss music) were worthy of an RPG. The graphics were good eswpecially when the people were talking.
Overall it was a good game (but it was no FF3) and I hope that future games include the additions. Thank You.

A fun, but easy RPG |
| Andre Dionne from Muskego, Wisconsin, USA says (1/Aug/2001): |
Legend of Dragoon was definitely one of my favorite RPG's for Playstation. It had a fairly good storyline, and you weren't stuck with the same characters throughout the game. Unfortunately, it was also a very easy game. The only challenge was the addition system, which I thought was pretty cool. I've noticed that as they make more and more RPG's they're getting easier and easier to beat. I beat Legend of Dragoon in under 30 hours the first time through without dying once. I miss the challenge that RPG's like Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, and Chrono Trigger had. Final Fantasy 8 totally sucked with its magic as something you draw from enemies and the fact that there were actually very few random enemies ((they just became more powerful throughout the game)). Back to Legend of Dragoon, I also thought changing into Dragoons was cool, although the graphics could have been better. I mean, what was taking up the space of 4 discs if the graphics weren't that good, plus, when you get Coolon, you have to change discs to go to an earlier part of the game ((unlike FF7)). Overall, many good games have their problems, which is why I gave this game a 9.

This game is totally the best |
| Zack says (10/Aug/2001): |
This game had it all. A edgy story line, good music and enemies, and stuff you wouldnt expect happen at all. The end especially is the best but i wont reveal that to you who havent played it. I loved it. The graphics were great but it dont take much to impress me. Its just as good as the PS2 i think. The PS2 (to me) doesnt have any different graphics, especialy in Twisted Metal Black (whick is a game that totally rocks.

Why people dis this game, I'll never know... This game is one of the best RPGs I have ever played!!!!! |
| RPG rater from Rock Island, Illionois says (4/Oct/2001): |
I at first got this game because of the fact that it was a RPG type of game. I'll tell you, this game rocks!!!
The graphics on the characters are sharp, especially during the FMVs. The music helps lead you through the game, and it sounds awesome!!! The voices, there's only one way to explain it: they kick rear-end!!!
Why people dis it, I may never know, but in my opinion, this game rules!!!!!!!!

Great game....if only it wasn't full of rip-offs |
| EON from California, USA says (15/Oct/2001): |
First off, the good side
Additions - frustrating at first but makes turned-based combat a little bit more exciting.
Dragoon transformations - great animation
Dragoon spells - best looking "non-final-fantasy" spell animation
The bad side
Item capacity - 32 items??? what were they thinking. Number one flaw
Map exploration (or lack thereof) - huge map, but very little area to explore.
Leveling - 10 exp split up between the characters...wtf???
No critical hits - basically gets rid of the "luck factor"
Spell Items - item capacity renders these almost useless
Very little "true spells" - less than 40 dragoon spells
Almost linear story
lots of rip-offs
Dart -> Cloud
Shana -> Tifa
Lavitz -> Cid Highwind (had to put the last name...to many Cids)
Albert -> Edgar Figaro (from ff3/6 for those of us unfortunate enough to miss out on this game)
Kongol -> Barret (they look like they're identical twins)
Rose -> Selina, from Septerra Core (they both are very different from the rest, status-wise, and have the same anti-social, cold, annoying attitude.
Shana's dragoon transformation looks rather "sailormoon-ish"

one of the worst combat systems ever |
| Andrew Tymms from Liverpool, England says (3/Nov/2001): |
legend of dragoon, what to say, the game is very pleasing to the eye, nice graphics good character interactions and some nice but very loooooong winded magic spells that just seem to make this game drag on. If only there was a way to cut this out. like final fantasy eight the spells take too long and ruin the fights, they may look nice but they just don't beat the short and to the point spells that other games have, this is very dissapointing. The boss battles are also very frustrating with the boss attacking upto three times at once wiping your entire party, and theres nothing you can do about it. The addition feature in the game is enjoyable but at points you tend to notice that you missed one even thought on screen it shows it as being succesful, Escially when you are a dragoon you have to press the button before the dial gets all the way round.
The rest of the game is very well done with a great story line with a few good twists in there. The fmv scenes are very nice too and thankfully theres more game than there is fmv unlike final fantasy eight, which has too much. The map mode is dissapointingly small and the cities are too large making you wander around for ages when you would just rather get into the action. I did enjoy this game on the hole but the boss battles really frustrated me, and could of been a lot better. On the hole a very good game, but if your new to the rpg genre i'd have to reccomend the final fantasy chronicles, as the enjoy level is a lot higher.

Props to this game, none to the idiots! |
| Mikey from Some place far away, USA says (7/Nov/2001): |
OK OK, enough!
To all the ppl that rate this game a 1 star. How in the world can you "HATE" this game. I loved this game so much, and from looking at this page, so have many many others.
And hey, to all that say it was a rip off to the Final Fantasy series, listen up!!!! Why don't you look on the front cover and of FFVII and be amazed to see that Sony's logo is on it, so, that is not steeling when they helped make the other games.
The story line to this game was fantastic! The graphics were great, and the entire battle and gameplay was great too! I give SONY 100% satisfaction with this game and encourage them on making LOD 2 within the next few years. Everything was awsome if not perfict! I am not stepping on anyones foot, but I think that all the negitive comments are usless and come from the real sore loosers. (Don't worry, I bet your mommies still love you) Just look at all the work that SONY put into this game. 3 years! If you put 3 years into making a game and eveyone like some of you, downgrade it, it makes no money, would you like it.
BE NICE!
And look into what you are saying 1st instead of just crapping something stupid out.
