One of the Best!!!!! |
| Brian from Virginia Beach, USA says (27/Apr/2003): |
The legend of Dragoon rightfully takes its place among the best RPG's in history(FF&,8,9,10,Chrono Cross, Breath of Fire, etc..) This is so good I would like to play a sequel. LOD rivals final fantasy and should have many sequels just as final fantasy. LOD IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!!!!!!!!

Best Game from Sony so far |
| Kabraxis from Broadway/Va/USA says (26/Apr/2003): |
I love this game it has a great story line.The gameplay in battles is excellent I love the having to hit buttons to do an attack instead of the usual Rpg game where you just pick an attack and press a button,I think the battle system on LOD is alot more challenging and fun.The CGs are wonderfully made(what few of them there are).Its a pretty challenging game,I beat it in about 30 hours so unless you suck pretty bad you shouldn't take much longer than this.This is definately a great game for the RPG fan.The whole idea of your characters getting Dragon spirits and transforming into Dragoons is really cool and definately very original,there isn't enough magic attacks and abilities on the game as I would like but I can't hold that against the game.So my advice is at least rent this game and you should love it then buy it.I hope they make a second one soon.

the power of dragons |
| michael from usa says (26/Apr/2003): |
the legend of the dragoon is a great game. there are items and powerups throughout the game. it may be extremely long but there are great attcks u get while in dragoon form. as your dragoon lvl increses so does your d- atk power. the attacks like red eyed dragoon atk take alot of mp and do a ton of dammage.all atks that use the power of a dragon sprit do alot of damage. the stronget of all dragoons is the divine dragoon. it is non elemental and has no weakness. it only learns two magic atks and had a powerfull d atk. it is also has a totaly cool transformation. the divine dragoon oly come at the end of the game when u fight malabu frama but it is worth the wait. it may only have two magic atks (divine ball, divine cannon)but they are pretty cool.they use 50 mp each and u can only use them 1 time each. when u get this game it may seem boaring but good things come to those who wait, but u will be waiting for about 80 to 90 hours to finish this game.

This game is fun and tough. |
| Kyree Robertson from Danville, Va USA says (22/Apr/2003): |
I have had this game sence Christmas and I am still playing it. I am only on disc 2 and if you think that disk 1 was tough, it gets harder on the second disc. i am tring to get finished with the game by Thanksgiving. I have one more thing i have to say, If you don't have this game, you should buy it. It is worth your while.

THIS GAME ROCKS |
| Greg from Armenia, Yerevan says (1/Apr/2003): |
I love this game...literally... i would marry it if it was legal. The story is perfect, and the character depth is awesome...the characters of this game have backrounds and past mysteries, not like any regular rpg game character, if you are a rpg fan, you should buy this game, believe me it's worth it, i've finished the game 5 times already and im finishing my 6th time, the game is plain awesome. awesome graphics too!

THIS SUCKED!,NNOOTT!! |
| Rob from PEI says (31/Mar/2003): |
This game is so Awsome 5 stars go to the game and well the other 5 go to the RPG's.
The additions are pretty hard to pull off but altogether i really like it.I will Actualy play it again...(some darn long time)FF7 is actualy quite good too.There are simularity's though,like Dart is Cloud and well you get the point. In The Legend of Dragoon i was surprised that it,the GRAPHICS. In battles are almost like COOL And it takes a big mind to fit in all differend bad guys.I loves the details.And the backround music.lol the forgrounds could have more detail though.I give hevin a welcome to this dream come true What A GREAT GAME!!!!!
|
THIS GAME IS #1 |
| Mikey Brown from Kuna, Idaho, USA says (29/Mar/2003): |
This game is far better than FF7 or FF anything! The additions make the game that much better. It makes you search more in depth for that character. I played this game for hours, and loved every second of it. I have beaten the game like 3 times, completed every side quest, and used just about every combination of characters. I am working on my 4th time, and after this, every character will be used. I recomended this for everyone. Not only is the game a freakin rad game, the story is a rad story too.

unlike all the rest |
| JOE from California,USA says (26/Mar/2003): |
My favorite game of all time. I've beaten it 7 times and still playing. Every time is better than the last and I've memorized it entirely by heart. I love the storyline and how it fits with every character. The graphics on this game are better than any PlayStation 1 game I've played. I also enjoy how long it is. I know a lot of people who don't like long RPG's but it just makes me whant to strive to beat it and finally find out what happens. The only problem (and i meen the ONLY problem) is how the dialog is not insink with the motion of the mouths. Other than that I think the background music and sound effects are excelent and go perfectly with gameplay. Personally i think this game will never be matched except by a sequal. I am happy to see that it made it to the "Greatest Hits" title because it deserves it. I would be happy to see a sequal to it. This is just one of those games that you just cant do without. Its unlike any other and seemes to be a lot more realistic when it comes to detail on objects within the game, bacgrounds, characters, and definately the movies. It also seemed to look more organic than any other game that I've played for the PlayStation 1. Over all I beleive that it is the BEST PlayStation 1 game that I have ever played.

The best game i've ever played |
| Keith Webster Jr. from Princeton, Florida USA says (16/Mar/2003): |
I never knew what this game was until my aunt bougt me the game.Now i'm hooked to the game. my friends have this game. it was like my own property. what more can i say, the game rocks, the action was jampacked, and the storyline just goes with it. i'm happy to say that this game was created for the PS console, if they ever make a part 2, i would be the first to by it.

Best RPG game since Chrono Cross |
| Paul from Montana, USA says (12/Mar/2003): |
I rate this program as a 9/10 because I haven't played every RPG game in existence, and I give those unplayed games the benefit of the doubt.
Okay, I'll try make this as articulate and short as possible, given the 200 word minimum limit. I must explain I am an old time RPGer. I played FFXII for about 2 hours, and was bored to tears. I don't get why everyone must compare games to FF, when FF is the latest in a grenre which has persisted since the days of text-based adventure games on the Commodore 64!
Back to The Legend of Dragoon. I can only compare this to Chrono Cross. I never played Chrono Trigger, but I thought Chrono Cross was the most enjoyable PSX game I had ever played. Eighty hours of play, and I was still having fun. Then I found LOD. I now have a standard to judge other games. FOD had everything I wanted in a game: EXCELLENT story line, character interaction/relationships, romance (2, as a matter of fact), fairly good battle sequences, and a weapon/items inventory which was fairly manageable. The FMVs are awsome, considering they were designed for the PS1. The only thing I would change in this entire game is the ability to select which fighting team member you wanted to use in a given battle.
Let me put it this way: the game spans 4 CDs. It is a combination of manual dexterity, and strategy. The "slash/bash" crowd will get a kick out of the skill needed to execute the various attack "additions". The "risk" crowd will enjoy figuring out the strategy of employing various spells, armor and attack sequences.
Everyone in my family was so enthralled with the game that when the first disk was finished, another family member moved it to our PS1 machine and started their own game. We just finished the first playthrough, and we have three other games going on two different disks. When we finished the first playthrough, the entire family was gathered around the screen, waiting for the climax of a major drama.
Find this game, play it, enjoy it, and get back to the basics of RPG'ing and forget the eye wash and hype.

Good game |
| Cloud Strife from California,Riverside says (6/Mar/2003): |
I did like LOD,but how can people say that its better than Final Fantasy games especially ones like FF7,8,10 and Chrono Trigger.Some reasons I didnt like this game alot was because you cant use summons like the other RPG's,the only way you can use magic is by using items that you can only carry like 25 with you.The characters were prettylame compared to the FF7 characters.The weapons were kind of sucky and you can turn into weak transformations.The addition combos were kind of good but I hate it that you people compare it to Final Fantasy limit breaks,especially ones like Cloud's Omnislash.I only beat the game once,and dont care of doing it over it again because it was to easy compared to Final Fantasy games,like Emerald Weapon and Ruby weapon in FF7.This is my list of my favorite games in order . 1.Final Fantas7,(2.Final Fantasy 8),(3.Crrono Trigger)

The Best RPG game EVER!!!!! |
| Adam Kukulka from Flower Mound, TX, USA says (27/Feb/2003): |
The Legend of Dragoon, without a doubt, is the best RBG game ever. When i play it, me and the game come of one; i notice nothing of the outside world; the controller is just an extention of my body. This is not a game, this is a fantastic story that you watch, filled with twists and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seat. When i first rented this game, i played it non-stop; one day i played it for 12 hours. you want to put it down to save your eyes, but you just want to know what happens next. that is the greatness of it all. I eventually bought it some weeks later, and i eventually beat it! 50 hours is what it took me, seriously. It has a GREAT ending, one of the bests. everything ties together with one great end, ironic to an extent. Lloyd is a great villian; better than sethropoh(FFVII) in personality wise, but still, i got to hand it to sethropoh for being the best. Still, this game, in my opnion, is even greater that FFVII. I am playing it for a second time, and it is still as great as it was when i first played it. This game is a most have; with this game, you won't need anyother games for a long time.

One of the best games ever made after ff3 |
| Antonio from Shafter, CA, USA says (25/Feb/2003): |
I really think this is one of the greatests, funniest, interesting, dramatic, games ever made. The plot, the secuenses are just exellent. The only things that burned down this exellent game were the fact that shana couldn't use addition and the bad time it takes to gain exp. and money, after that every thing is great. When I first started playing the game I was facinated by the way the story started. A dragon attaking used to destroy the cities of the county, people who could manipulate dragon and also have their spirits.

This game outplays the others! |
| Jay-Jay from Ossining, NY says (3/Feb/2003): |
The first time I played it, it was my friend's. now, it was so good, that I bought my own, and it still comsumes most of my free time! Oh, and if anyone wants to send me tips, click on my e-mail link!

This game is more than fairly decent... |
| A gamer from Findlay, Ohio, U.S.A. says (17/Jan/2003): |
For starters...Any good R.P.G. has to have a good story-line, good battle-system, and a good set-up(such as the window displays, etc.) Legend of Dragoon has all of that listed and then some. Good story-line, fairly good graphics(although i don't think graphics are all that important if the story-line makes up for it) and a good battle-system. I like the addition thing(it's fairly tough but a challenge is good in a game) I have played many games before this one...mainly rpg's...and this particular game is in the top favorites...for sure......I would aslo encourage other rpg fans to try Chrono Trigger(of Final Fantasy Chronicles), Legend of Legaia(killer game!), Final Fantasy 7(beautiful game! one the best i've ever played) Final Fantasy 8, Breath of Fire 3(if your a dragon fan like me, BF3 is a good one!) and Mario RPG:Legend of the seven stars(for SNES,old but still fun) Overall, Legend of Dragoon is not only in my intersets as a good rpg but it's good for dragon lovers too. I hope you enjoyed my opinion of it.

A Must Play Game!!! |
| R from Lousville,Colorado,USA says (12/Jan/2003): |
I have to admit that The Legend of the Dragoon could not match up to the games like Finaly Fantasies, but all of those that think of it as a piece of crap game are absolutly wrong. I mean come on, the story is great, telling of a warrior that lost his parents in a fire from the "Black Monster" only when he was a child, and then later on finding out that his father is still alive and trying to destroy the world, and also finds out that one of his own partners is the black monster, who all along is the one trying to save the world, but thet's not even the half of it. You never know whats going to happen next. Even though the graphics during gameplay weren't the best, during the cinemas the grapghics were a great force to be reckoned with, although the PSX's FF games were also very good and detailed. Also during the cinemas there were voices unlike any of the FF games (exception of FF10, I've never played it). So all of you out there that call this game crap, I want you all to shut the hell up!!!

Cool game. NOT A RIP-OFF!! |
| TheInfiniteOne from The Island Closest to Heaven says (4/Jan/2003): |
This is a great game. The story and characters are great. My only beef is that the localization could use some work.9/10
The Gameplay easily tops most Final Fantasies(except 8&10).
The addition system adds some much-needed action to the RPG norm. And the Dragoon system? It is the freaking coolest thing I've seen in an RPG.10/10
The Sound is pretty good. The sound-effects are great and the voice-acting is decent. The music is good but not on the level of Chrono Cross. Oh, and Rose's voice is total $#< remove me > at !.
9/10
The Graphics are FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!!! The CG, animations and special effects are great. The backgrounds look almost PS2 quality( but not quit!) 10/10
This game is hella'-fun. Overall I give this game a 9/10.
The only really bad thing is that after you finish it once you probably won't want to go through it again.
BRING ON THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review of Reviews |
| Rumza Homz from Houston, TX says (3/Jan/2003): |
First, I would like to say that I thought that LOD was a very good game. The storyline was interesting, very few boring moments, and a good selection of characters. Next, there were indeed a few similarities to the Final Fantasy series, but look at the rest of the RPG games out there- most of them resemble one of the preceeding games from one series or another (so stop your bitching people, and get over it). Lastly, I just would like to ask a few of you to re-read your messages before you post them. Even though it is amusing to read reviews typed up by an individual with a second-grade spelling ability, it gets old really quick. [not sure who asked this in their review, but FF8 came out before LOD]

great game |
| A gamer from Avon, USA says (12/Dec/2002): |
For all you suckers whop thing the character similarities are to close between FF7 and LOD its not a rip off you losers. They are called archetypes. This type of reapetative character type use has been seen for undreds of years even in literature. It is not a rip that the characters are similar because it was made for the same company. And one last thing LOD is great because of these great type of characters that have been in games for years. It's the story and originality of gameplay that makes this game a clasic.
