Buy Legend of Legacy here! amzn.to/3x3c3FQ

This game looks like fun. I know, not a lot of story, and yea pretty straightforward what your goal is, but this kind of game is just what I need sometimes, something you can just pick up, play for a bit, discover some land and then put it down. No major story points to remember, just a fun turn based beat’em up, I’m looking forward to getting this

Just get Alliance Alive. That game is a big improvement over the story and the mechanics over Legend of Legacy.

I love 3DS remasters, the Etrian Odyssey 1-3 remasters are great. Legend of Legacy has a bit of the looks of the first Bravely Default, just way more colorful. I like hardcore classic turnbased mechanics, so based on your review i will definately give this a try. What i'll always keep hoping for is a remaster or even remake of "Ever Oasis" village sim / ARPG from the late New 3DS era. That game was gorgeous and really emersive in my opinion, you cared for your little village you helped building around an oasis and the outside world was designed almost like a Zelda game, with quite a few puzzles and lots of tricky combat plus a few dungeons. And the bosses were fun, too.

I used to own this game on the 3DS, but never played it since I sold my 3DS collection. But hey, I'll get the chance once again now! Great review, David~

It’s nice to have games like this just as a cool down in a sense. I’m just now finishing up trails into reverie being heavily story driven and a lot to get done. This seems like it’ll be a welcome relaxing game.

This is one I missed on the 3ds so have been wanting to pick up on the switch. I think I'll wait for a sale now though. I still want to give it a try sometime. Thank you for the review!

The cuteness it’s an instant fomo for me 🤭 oddly enough I’ve never played this and will be getting it on the switch.

I can say that after hearing the general response of the original release of this game I was surprised to hear that they were bringing it back to re release it. I have played Alliance Alive and while I only got about 20% into the game I can say the art style and concept it used was beautiful and interesting. I feel similarly about this even if the story is basically very simple overall but that pop up book style of this one is so fun to look at especially in this review. I preordered the PS5 limited edition from NIS when they first opened up preorders and I am ready for it to get here. Thanks again David!

I loved Alliance Alive, but this one I didn't ever connect with, but I May try it again after a sale

I missed a bunch of 3DS RPGs, saw that Legend of Legacy remaster is on sale right now on Woot for $34.99 and had to come by and see if you had a review. Sure enough you did! And now I’m going to have to hunt down Alliance Alive too it sounds like based on the comments. Thanks for the review! Will be ordering shortly :)

Your videos always put me in a good mood and make me enjoy new games of my favorite genre, thanks a lot for the great work that you do!

Do you know if there were any QoL changes from the original 3ds version? I never finshed the original, but i do still have it.

I called it the rng rpg. I dont remember much but i remember trying to get a certain item from the boat system and dont think i ever got it. Also i unlocked an awesome skill in a boss battle but either got a game over or had to restart for some reason. Since it randomly gives you skills for what weapons you are using i did not unlock that skill again for 2-3 hours of gameplay. Or trying to level my shield or guard/block level, so have my tank block as much for 20 battles and nothing, next time i picked it up he was learning skills every fight. Its just random or very odd system at play behind the scenes. Its like playing crisis core without being able to see the slot machine wheel. Just at random you will get levels and upgrades and skills. I didnt like the pop up book effect at first but can appreciate the uniqueness of it now. I remember finding a little method to make the game easier in alot of areas, every map has an elemental stone that you can change, if your characters all have water? Stones equipped (the healing one) then change the map/area stone to water you can heal all the time and for double the amount i think with a reduced cost. But if the enemies are water based enemys or magic users it can back fire a bit because it buffs them to.

I have physical retail copies of both The Legend of Legacy and The Alliance Alive on the 3Ds and on the PS4. I have a physical retail copy of The Alliance Alive HD Remaster on the Switch and a digital copy on Steam. I'm also planning to get a physical version of The Legend of Legacy HD Remaster for Switch and still need to get it on Steam as well.

Ugh..March 22nd is way too stacked, this, Princess Peach, Dragons Dogma 2. But I’m looking forward to playing this since I never played the 3DS version.

Hamauzu did the OST for the game. Love it.

Thanks for Your dedication. Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤

I loved Alliance Alive, and I completely missed this one on 3DS. It seems like the perfect game for quick grinding sessions on the Switch when I'm just in the mood to whack some baddies

always love a Davidvinc RPG video to wake up to :)

I´m actualy enjoying Legend Of Legacy HD. It reminds me of SaGa: Scarlet Grace, that game also had the most interesting combat mechanics for short bursts of gaming. You play a bit go on with everyday life and give it another swing. Try to make some progres at 3 a.m. when you randomly wake up and get sleep deprived in the process.

I didn't manage to get it on 3DS, and as I have a ton of unplayed RPGs on Switch, maybe I willbpick it up on sale sometime in the future

For me, sometines it's nice after a long day of work to play a game that's almost just pure gameplay, so I'll definitely check this out.

Saw this after I saw Derek's review. It's good to know the expectations. I think I'll still pick it up since NISA is doing the collector's edition. Happy for the review to make sure of proper expectations.

never played this one on the 3DS, with so many great titles coming out this year i don't know if i'll have time to get to this one lol, thanks David

As someone that's really gotten into SaGa-likes, I am excited for this one. I played the original and loved it for a lot of the reasons other people hate it. The mechanical complexity makes combat interesting and keeps things somewhat dynamic (when you get it), and the simplistic story allowed the ambient storytelling and world lore to shine a bit. Also, I like the SaGa-like games where ALL of your stats grow instead of just HP and weapon levels, because it allows you to tinker more with your characters. That's something Alliance Alive really lacked.

Hmmmmm…. Not sure if this an RPG for me. Maybe I’ll pick it up when it goes on sale? Thanks for reviewing David! 👍

Probably worth a wishlist slot for me, but yeah glad to get the David take on it

I know this game was hated on 3ds because of the level up system being random.. it's a very saga style game and personally I enjoyed it. But it's no wonder why they changed a lot for the sequel that came out.

Since I love the Etrian Odyssey series, I’m guessing I’ll like this one too.

Whats the diffrence between ds version and switch?

Alliance alive was such an awesome game so im still waiting for them to top that one.

Any slow down or issues with framerate? I'm not sure to get it on ps5 or switch.

I've never played it before, I think it looks alright! I don't like a lot of story to my games, and I like a good battle system. The weapon and armour stats sound a bit annoying, they should've updated that, but being an old school rpger I'm used to going in and out of the menu. I will probably pick this up.

This game came before Alliance Alive, which is why some people probably found it boring in comparison. I played this first on the 3DS and loved it. Difficult, but the battle system of learning new moves was fun yet exciting since its random. Also the music is amazing. I love it and totally recommend giving the soundtrack a listen. Especially the battle themes! There is honestly a lot more to this game if you give it the time and patience. It isn't for everyone, but similar to SAGA series games if you like those! Totally picking this up again once it comes out! Hopefully I can fully complete the game this time!!

I enjoyed Legend of Legacy back on the 3DS, but I agree that the lack of Quality of Life features was frustrating. The way that I like to think of it is as a Dungeon Crawler RPG in the vein of Wizardry or Etrian Odyssey, but as an overworld SaGa game. Trying to experience it as a standard JRPG like a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest will definitely put players off, but knowing what to expect makes it far more enjoyable.

Was wondering if there was any voice acting at all or if It's all text sorry if you mentioned that in your video. I missed that part somehow Thank you for the video review. Appreciate it. Hope you have a great day!

Played a few hours on the 3DS, don't think I'll double-dip. You'll be exploring around, then suddenly get ambushed by some insanely powerful enemy. He'll either one-shot you, or you'll be fighting him for twenty minutes with no end in sight because you can't see his health bar.

Thought first you had a typo and meant Legend of Legaia. But no, apparently that is also a game I missed.

I’m excited about this, but exactly because it doesn’t have much of a story and is kind of bland. I’ve been looking for a good “second screen” jrpg lately, and this seems like it will fit the bill. I loved playing grindy games like this as a kid while watching TV with my folks, and I’m still that way as an adult, but instead of TV I like to play while listening to podcasts or an audiobook. No story and pretty simple gameplay are perfect for that.

Thanks for your review! I was on the fence about picking this up and it helped me decide that, unfortunately, this game is just not for me, even though I love other games published by NIS.

is this with open world map and travel things like ships, etc?

Good morning, Daddy!!! I have missed you ❤❤❤

does it have voice acting? great vid as usual 🎉

I love this jrpg and i know it not for everbody but i enjoy it but everone have their own opinion 😊

I had my eye on this game, but not sure. While I like SaGa-like games, I often tend to drop them before reaching that far in the game. I think the aesthetics really sold me though.. Maybe I'll wait for a sale. Oh and one correction to the review! The game is also released on PC.

Let's be real, they sent this game out to die, especially in this day and age. It's very telling when Alliance Alive got a remaster way before this game did. And when much better RPGs are in abundance this year? Yeah, no.

Looks lovely, but the carbon copy characters are a turn-off. I wouldn't mind if it were the only rpg I had...but my to-do list is quite long.

Great review, thanks! I'll buy any turn based rpg as long as it isn't complete crap

I'm lost for words now david

This remaster will launch on Windows too ;)

i like the art style

not the focus but i love your tank

Legend of legacy is one of those 3DS games I wish I skipped. Well, after playing an hour or so...I kinda did. Oof. 😅

This is the only SaGa/SaGa-like game (The Last Remnant, The Alliance Alive) that I've never finished. ...I guess now's the time.

Hmm i think i might pass on this one. I prefer story heavy rpgs. Must be why I initially skipped it on the 3ds

hi Daidvinc RPGs

Tx David

Sounds like a “wait for a sale” game for me. Could be fun, but not a guaranteed thing and I got other things in the meantime.

It looks cool but I don't know if it's for me...some of the challenge seems like ehhh, I can skip LOL

You said some weapons are better to use and didn’t mention what/which weapons are better? 🤔

Hi David! Filmia is so darn adorable. Definitely would be my pick. Never had the chance to play this one, so on the wishlist it goes. Right now, I'm playing Unicorn Overlord and enjoying it immensely. Thanks again for another awesome video, David, and have a blessed day! (Also, Alliance Alive is such a good old school style rpg. Highly recommend it to rpg lovers.)

Hi David

SaGa-like is enough for me to give this a try!

This just makes me want to play The Alliance Alive instead.

i enjoyed the game, but it was a grind fest. was hoping for some more QOL additions. i could not beat that final boss in the 3ds

Um you forgot to mention it is also on PC

I bought this game expecting it to be anything like Bravely Default and was hugely dissapointed. Thankfully, Bravely Second came out shortly after.

I liked having the Saga Systems. I hated the dungeon crawling elements. I fill there are just better dungeon crawlers, as far as exploration is concerned. Alliance Alive, however!!!

I pass David, I wait for Saga Emerald , a true Saga game.

I have the special edition of the 3DS game and you can tell nobody cares about it because even the special edition is only worth $30. I could't get into this one at all on my 3DS.

For how annoying the rng and grind is, this was a perfect game to play while watching something else. Very light story and just dungeon after dungeon. Can also pack a punch but with how characters are carbon copies of each other, it makes "fixing" your party easy just by swaping items or grinding a new skill or two.

Looks like a fun little game but not sure it's worth the $50 with so many games coming out

Thanks for your review as always. Sounds like a miss for me.

Saga Style games are such a mixed bag for me. Guess i will pass.

This is a pass for me unless i see it for 15-20 dollars....

i'll stick to alliance alive hd thanks

I was interested in this but the lack of a meaningful story and the pop-up effects make it a pass for me. I see what they're going for but I find the effect more annoying than charming.

2 times did not bet first dungeon

Why is this almost double the cost of the original? Nothing wrong with a simpler ‘unga bunga’ game every now and then, but not when it’s $50 AND a remaster. I’ll wait for when it drops down to around $20.

😜

Don't bother, the game has no story, get Alliance Alive 👍🏾

What a redundant name

Second

First

\good gameplay bad story, kinda like fe engage? pass

Big NO! It's 100% mute. No voices AT ALL. 😴

i got alliance alive so i will pick up legend of legacy since i never played it before...

One of my sleeper favorites on the 3DS. Relatively short, does not overstay its welcome, and offers a decent challenge. Great to play between bigger JRPGs. Also: A singing frog prince.
