Legend of Dragoon for PlayStation 1

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: 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: 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: 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...

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: 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: I actually wrote a review without going over 30K ! Sorry, I had to say that...
Cons: Just read the review.

There's that old saying, "once you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy". In that respect, perhaps Sony shouldn't have hyped the Legend of Dragoon as a "Final Fantasy Killer". Dragoon in fact looks and plays...

Pros: story,graphics,strong characters
Cons: too many random battles

RPGs usually share the same common ground. You explore,find items,and fight during a quest to slay the great evil. It's how a game uses the "other"factors(graphics,story,etc.)that sets one apart. And that's the case with LOTD.

...

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: Very fast and exciting, good graphics, and a linear game
Cons: Cannot explore on the world map, and no pause button during battles

The Legend of Dragoon goes to the Playstation, directly from Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA). Another great role-playing game on the Playstation, this game delivers an exciting experience and a good time in the world of gaming. It should not...

Pros: AMAZING graphics combined with a VERY well written story and very nice character developement
Cons: somewhat on the easy side, not as many cinema scenes as i'd like there to be

Are you looking for a great RPG to play this summer? Then I suggest picking up a copy of Legend of Dragoon. This massive RPG spans 4 discs, has rich beautiful cinema scenes (easily comparable to if not surpassing ff 7 and ff 8) with nice voice overs,...

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).
