Spanning four discs and promising some 80 hours of gameplay. But does Sony have what it takes to rival the likes of Squaresoft? From what we've seen so far, Dragoon holds plenty of promise--but we'll know for sure when we get our hands on the reviewable version next month.
The game follows a young man named Dart, whose village is destroyed by soldiers who kidnap his best friend, Shana. Dart teams up with Shana, and other formidable warriors, to defeat the evil magical forces threatening his kingdom. The game features an engrossing epic narrative, which is at ease exploring both personal relationships and complex mythology. The dialogue feels natural and expressive, largely avoiding the infodumps that can bedevil fantasy media.
Although much of the game deals with war and death, The Legend also has a healthy dose of humour, helping it avoid tipping into pretension or becoming too heavy. The game features over thirty hours of gameplay and was so ambitious at the time of release that it had to be shipped on four separate discs. The Legend features a turn-based combat system, complete with a variety of attacks, magical modes, items, and other strategies.
Completing an attack successfully also requires correctly hitting the targets on the screen. The game also features many areas where stealth is needed to avoid unnecessary attacks.
Although the fighting is well-designed, the designers are careful to ensure that it is exploration and narrative that really drives the game forward, rather than violence. As The Legend is an older title, its graphics now come off as rather antiquated. In addition, there are long loading times when the players move between different areas, and especially after battle scenes.
However, these are minor mechanical quibbles, which players will grow used to after returning to the game. The game features a winning story, well-designed combat, and a lovable cast-providing a great experience for any classic JRPG fan.
The Legend of Dragoon can be played on PS1. A playthrough is available here. Forty minutes of well-crafted CG movies advance the story in what Sony estimates to be an 8o-hour game. The game features an "Additional" system, which allows you to attack multiple times in one sequence and can be used in both human and Dragoon forms each character can use Dragoon magic.

This is what Sony developed to really get into the RPG market. It was released at the end of the consoles life cycle and didn't really get much publicity. Nevertheless, people who played this game have a special part in their hearts for it well most of them anyway. Time to get down to business. In terms of graphics. It delivers some of the best on the system and really is impressive. And well the sound goes hand in hand with it really.
Sure it may feel a bit generic in the beginning but stick with it! You'll absolutely love this game if you are in to that whole RPG genre. Definitly worth picking up. It sometimes tries to be to serious and I just dont know, It doesnt really work for me. Just my opinion.
Legend of Dragoon is one of those love or hate kind of games where the players would either hate or love the game. Legend of Dragoon came at a time when there were literally tons of JRPG's on the playstation coming out and most magazines at the time touted it as being a cookie cutter RPG following behind FF7's footsteps.
I played this game quite a bit back in the day up to a certain point before my mom chased me out of the house for playing too much. It has a few things going for it though and one of these is the battle system. It adds a type of button prompt on screen where if the player successfully press the x key at the right time, the damage is increased via the addition system.
This system might be one of the more refreshing takes on turn based combat in a JRPG and ensures that players never get bored of it. One other thing is that defending in this game also heals some HP so it is a more usable options in battle unlike in most JRPGs.
Legend of Dragoon has it's strengths and admitted deficiencies but one thing to say about it is that it has a high production value and a well made game for those itching for a JRPG fix. The battles feature a unique 'Addition' system which allows you to enhance your basic attack damage through the use of well timed button presses, keeping the battles engaging even against weaker opponents.
