Does anyone remeber this Playstation game. Im pretty sure it came out almost the same time that final fantasy 7 became popular. also I think it was made by square Enix. I loved this game. there were so many good things about this game. who thinks that this game should be remade for PS3. and what problems would you fix with this new remake. what are some of the things that you didn't like about this gem.

Loved it. I still have the game in fact. I loved how they made the reflex test to activate the special move you had equipped. Kinda made you feel like you had to be good to do well in the game, not just crunch numbers. They actually did the same kind of thing with the ring system in Lost Odyssey except there is only 1 test to go through, not the up to 7 in LoD.
I played it-- thought it was pretty decent as far as JRPGs go. I especially applaud LoD for the combat system, which was pretty neat.skip_it_also said:
It was not, however, released by Square Enix-- I'm not even sure Squaresoft and Enix had merged at the time it was made, but LoD was released 3-4 years after FF7.
I dunno if I'd play it again if they remade it unless they added lots of new stuff-- optional dungeons, secret characters... and they'd have to make it easier to find those goddamn stardust. Give us a twinkle on the screen or something, sheesh. I hate it when games make hidden items so impossible to find that you need a walkthrough/guide to locate them.
It was a really cool game. I haven't seen it in years. I do remember watching my friend beat the last boss, and I do remember one female character said "DIE MORE AND MORE" every time she used a certain attack. Otherwise, I don't remember much. They should remake it with current-gen graphics for the PS3 or something. That'd be awesome.
Actually, I am playing it currently. I don't actually own it (it belongs to my cousin) but I'm glad I saw him playing it one day or it might have passed under the radar entirely.skip_it_also said:
I LOVE this game! I don't think that there's anything wrong with the game at all, except...
that my favorite character died in the first disk. Lavitz was the best guy in the whole game, IMO, and then he gets killed off. Typical. OK, ranting aside...
I want to see a remake, even/especially a PSP port of it. LoD on the fly would be so awesome.
Totally agreement here. The battle system was ingenious at keeping the player interested and active during battles, and in between you had to choose the right attack for each situation. Do you make one stronger so it's more effective, or do you need to do more damage? It had a little strategy in it that was refreshing for an RPG.Wargamer said:
By the way...
I know it isn't exactly, but anyway...Stammer said:
That would be Rose, and the addition attack is called "More and More". Performed correctly, she hits three times; the first two hits are accompanied with attack "grunts" (sure, she doesn't GRUNT per se, but there's no better word I know) and on the third, she says "Die!" Then, as all characters do on a well-performed addition (except Shana/Miranda, of course), she shouts out the name -- "More and More!"
The producer of the game was Sony Computer Entertainment, not Square
And yes, LoD was an awesome game, and Rose was intentionally meant to be an awkward character [If you notice, her healing Dragoon spell shoots out of her crotch and she fondles herself when transforming]

Yeah, that was my favorite RPG ever. I especially like how each character wasn't just archetypes from staple genre characters. My favorite character had to be Meru though. She was just awesome, not for any perverted reasons but simply cause it was awesome when she beat people with an over sized mallet it was hilarious. The best male character was probably Lloyd, though. All the mysterious darkness surrounded him kind of drives the story.
Im glad to see that some people actually got to play this game and it didn't get passed up. Its crazy that in never got remade or at least got a sequal. or even a prequal would of been awesome, think about getting to be all of the old dragoons and learning more of their storys. some of the legendary dragoon people were so powerful. you had to fight them one at a time and they were diffucult bosses even though it was three on 1. I think it would be awesome to be made blu-ray on the ps3 casue then i wouldnt have to worry about loosing one of the discs and then not be able to progress further. which sadly did happen to me so now i can only play my old files and defeat the final boss again. just for kicks
Meru was my favioret too. It seemed like she could really help out the team with her healing move. It made her hard to play though becasue some of her final combos required insane amounts of prescion and timing. It was worth it though. In the strategy guide it listed her final attack the highest amooung them all. she was even stonger then kongol which i thought was funny. Also wasnt it weird that rose actually got weaker when she transformed into her dragoon. her dance of the demon was way better then transforming.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! - I hate you!" I thought Meru's "I hate you" attack was very cool!. Legend of Dragoon was a Sony game. It was a direct competitor for Final Fantasy - and I thought they did a good job for a game with no prior history. Of course Sony didn't follow through on what could have been a great series... They did, however, give Square an idea - the travel system was ripped off by Final Fantasy 10! Bet you thought it was original, huh?
Oh and one more mention - the fighting system over all was the one of the best in all of the action rpgs I've seen. The only criticism is there were secret moves that you were given no clue how to do. But the animation of those moves was so sweet; you weren't just hitting someone - the whole scene was alive when you attacked. The overworld was ugly, but the gameplay was great.

One of my first RPGs and one of my favorites. It had such a weird design, very traditional but just so subtly off-beat, enough to keep you hooked right in all the time. Rose was completely awesome right from the moment you saw her - I love her ridiculously dramatic past, right up to the whole "I've forgotten how to smile" gooshiness. One thing I appreciated was all the garbled monsters, strange halfway-deities and messed up dragons littering the game. It was like the designers were only given like half a sentence description of the things they were supposed to make and somehow turned that confusion into genius.
You could really tell the translation was rushed, though, as it got steadily less and less intelligible the further you progressed in the game. At one point, right as a side character you just beat the various humours from is trying to choke out a desperate final message, his oh-so-concerned teacher responds with a touching, "Shut up! Talking makes you die!". Now tell me that's not a message you can get behind.

you know i thought i played the game backwards and front, but you say the characters had secret moves that werent explained on how to activate them. would you mind sharing with me what these secret moves are, and how you go about activating it. just one legend of the dragoon fan tp another
LoD was one thoes games I grew up playing way back when i was first getting into gaming, Lloyd was my Idol man,right up there with Goku and Cloud.Good times.
