Legend of the Dragoon: The Best NOT Final Fantasy RPG on the PS1

22 күн бұрынThe original PlayStation had a ton of RPGs. Everyone remembers Final Fantasy but to me the PS1 classic; Legend of the Dragoon will always stand out with it's combat system.

A four-disc RPG epic, The Legend of Dragoon is set in a time of swords, magic, and dragons. Ten thousand years prior, the Dragon War pitted Dragoons--humans with the power to control dragons--against Enslavers, magicians who sought to enslave the humans. Now Dart, a young warrior, is on a quest to find the demon that killed his parents. The Legend of Dragoon features prerendered, 3-D backgrounds and detailed, polygonal figures. Several nonplaying characters and many full-motion video scenes take you through the complex story. The game's turn-based battle engine allows you to increase the strength of an attack through repeated button taps and shows the percentage increase you've created. A timing feature in the battle modes allows you to add devastating combinations to your attacks. The Spirit Points you accumulate during your quest can be used to unlock a special power, known as the Dragon attack.

Legend of Dragoon is so good! When I was a kid, my Dad and I would play it at night. It was a great introduction to gaming and had a great time hanging with my Dad. I have replayed it multiple times now too for the nostalgia.

For those having a hard time leveling up additions. There is an accessory that automatically uses the full addition move. I don't think you get as much SP for it because you aren't actually doing the presses yourself. But it DOES count toward successful uses. So having a hard time landing the button presses? Just equip the accessory and do a few hundred fights. It'll be maxed out without much strife. The biggest downside to this is it takes your accessory slot from the character. But if you're not using a specific accessory for some big bonus to your build. Then just get the easy addition usage.

Now that I think about it. I may have used GameShark to make those uses count. Lol. Been a while since I played it on an actual PS1. Lol

I actually used my dragoon forms mostly in regular battles, namely the heal or buff spells. I find that in many battles dragoon forms are a hindrance instead of a advantage. I usually just spam the attack items that clog my inventory.

The Legend of Dragoon is my absolute #1 FAVORITE turn based RPG ever made. To this day, I feel it is genuinely an underrated gem, and that it is ridiculous that it hasn't received some form of remaster. If there ever came a day where a remastered or full on remade version was created, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The gameplay, story, and world live rent free in my mind, to this day, as do the countless voice clips from the party's various Additions. Legend of Dragoon is a game I'd gladly replay at any time, no matter how many times I've already beaten it, and I think modern day turn based RPG's could learn a lesson or two from it, even now. Thank you for making an episode on this game, Jirard, this was truly a gift I wasn't expecting to receive, out of the blue, even though I know it obviously wasn't made for me. Can't wait for whatever you have coming up next my guy.

Love me Legend of Dragoon, but I have to say I think Xenogears and Legend of Legaia are a bit better imo. I'd actually say the best PS1 RPGs are FFTactics and Xenogears tied for 1, followed by Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon. Then we get into games like FF9, 7 and so on.

You know, the story is pretty similar to how a TTRPG campaign progresses. Each characters have backstory to be explored, there's death of a PC and a new character sheet with the same class albeit different stats, while everything happened within overarching plot. But the chance is pretty low and I don't think that's what happened at all. It's a fun thought tho
@Blakobness 12 күн бұрын
Great game. I would recommend actually not grinding out your additions until late game unless you feel you've stonewalled. I kind of wish Additions were more like Xenogear's Deathblows, which you could access at any time in combat. But like Deathblows, there was also not a lot of reason to use previous Additions unless you found you couldn't do a later one as reliably.

This game introduced me to the world of old school RPGs. I found it in a bargain bin at Walmart for $10. I had a ps2 at this point but thank God for backwards compatibility. I made it to the second last boss and my disc had a scratch the led to the fight freezing every time. Years later it was released on the PS3 Playstation store and I finally completed it nearly a decade later. Needless to say, it holds a near and dear place in my heart and I'm happy to see it get any coverage.
