    This came out around the time FF VII was getting really popular and companies wanted to capitalize on the JRPG craze. Enter The Legend of Dragoon.

Enter The Legend of Dragoon. What essentially was a FF VII remake set in a medieval setting, The Legend of Dragoon set the bar for a few things, including having fully voiced characters long before any FF game did, and a mini-game style battle system that required precision and concentration to get the full damage from your team.
    What set this game apart was the fact that you could turn into a Dragoon once per battle. Dragoons had awesome looking armor and special abilities that could turn the tide of the battle. It was fun to collect the hidden Dragoon pieces as not everyone in the party would get them when they joined. This actually brings up a negative spot in the game as backtracking is awful. You will backtrack quite often in the game and you are required to run through every town and field and plain that you've already been too, to get back to where you need to be. It's beyond annoying, especially since the first time you'll do it, you'll be backtracking through at least 15 different areas.
    But the rest of the game is fun. The voice actors do a great job conveying the characters emotions and the plot is pretty good. It doesn't exactly hold up nowadays but, at the time, it was nice to see a main character who wasn't a brooding child whining bout everything. And while not all the characters are very good, they still do a decent job of coming together to form a great party.
    I really had alot of fun with this game and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an old school JRPG not named Final Fantasy. The game is fairly dated at this point however and the backtracking that is involved with some of the quest is beyond awful, including a horrendous random battle encounter rate that seems to be through the roof. But there's a certain charm here, especially with some of the things that this game has and others lack, including the voice overs. Give this game some time and it'll worm its way into your RPG heart. Every old-school RPG fan owes it to themselves to play through this game once. You'll be surprised by how good it is.    … Expand

    Not a perfect game. But effing close. Just, must play, get it if you have a playstation of any kind (though preferably not the PS1 version because that'd be expensive.) So, either the PSOne Classics for the PS3/Vita systems and PS4/PS5 if you own one of those. Old school, high fantasy, turn-based on speed (which is static only alterable with equipment).

    To me, this was a better version of FF7, and it has also aged very well because it has gameplay mechanics that even newer triple A games don't have. However, it is older and it would be awesome to get a remake. There was enough story in this game, to justify a prequel, and sequel.

    Get ready for some tears.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a youth, 4 years of age when this game came out I can certainly say that this game was one of my favorites, and of course one of my most frustrating games to finish. As an RPG made after FFVII there has been debates as to which is better. In comparison its most certain that the graphics are better, the battle system can be a bit frustrating at first but is more towards players who have knowledge of timing. The story was pretty well done and with a bit more extra content I would've really liked this game however FFVII had more content that I even overlooked than LoD. I gave this a 9/10 because in regards to the times, this was an amazing RPG to play on that little grey box that we all held so dearly.… Expand

    Bad: I didn't like how long a lot of the magic animations were, didn't like how magic was by using items (32 item limit for all items), and the combat got pretty tiresome after the first twenty or so hours, because having to perfectly time each strike becomes a burden after the excitement of it wears off.

    All in all it's a fantastic game and for five bucks on PSN a person would have to be crazy not to give this classic a try.    … Expand

But its the only game that got the battle system down to precise button connections that didn't over complicate the game (*cough**cough* magna carta). The story although a little predictable still threw in a few twist which revealed itself in the end which made the story kinda engaging despite the fact you lose Lavitz early in the game and Shana is replaced with Miranda (*questionable*). I loved the game back when it was released and still put up with the lack of options as a dragoon and linear exploration. This games really has something there that captures a gamers attention although not the most polished game of its time it was more enjoyable that FF8 drawing magic system. It may sound like a trashed this game quite a bit but realistically it had its flaws but still the one of the best RPGs to come out on the PSX 2nd only to FFVII and a tie with FF8 since the story in FF8 was better but the battle system was more annoying.… Expand

    Just completed this game a couple of days ago for the first time, and felt like giving my first impressions. This is a good game, and I liked it, but it's far from perfect.

This is a good game, and I liked it, but it's far from perfect.

    I'll start with the negatives. First off, the Dragoon class design is a bit limited and feels unbalanced. You only get a handful of spells with each character. Some spells are useful, but others are just plain useless, and I felt I was generally repeating the same spells throughout the game regardless of the situation. Some examples: Lavitz/Albert - The only magic spell worth using in my playthrough was Rose Storm. His damage spells usually did far less than if I had just stayed out of Dragoon form and spammed attacks. Shana/Miranda: Only magic spells worth using were her healing spells. "Star Children" does crap damage and is a waste of MP. "W Silver Dragon" does have some utility in select situations, but generally you would stay away from it because it's not worth its hefty MP cost. Haschel was generally better off staying out of Dragoon Form completely. There are more examples, but you probably get my point.

    The magic spells and Dragoon transformations also get quite old after you've seen them for the umpteenth time. They mitigated this by allowing you to shorten the Dragoon transformation animations, but I wish they did this with the magic spells as well.

    Random encounters are drawn-out and tedious. They are highly frequent but take seemingly forever to load, and there is a pause between a monster's attack and the player's turn. The further you get into the game, the more you feel the delay and the more repetitive and annoying it gets.

    The translation. Holy **** it's bad. It's kinda hard to take the story seriously when it's full of colloquialisms and phrases that make no sense in the English language. It also makes items a bit confusing as well, because their descriptions are sometimes incoherent. The voice-acting as a whole is also god-awful. Where the hell did they find these guys to do the voice acting? I've never heard anything so over-acted in my entire life. And I've heard some pretty shoddy work. It's a good thing they kept the voice-acting minimal, or else I probably would not have been able to take the story serious at all.

    I'm not a fan of keeping such a small limit on your usable items (32). Since a lot of your magic spells are usable only through items, I was often stuck collecting a bunch of items and never using them because I never knew when I would need to use them. It's also really annoying when you can't see the items in the treasure chest in front of you, because you don't know what you are throwing items away for, and often I just left the items in the chests because I didn't wanna risk throwing anything important away.

    Now, for the good. The graphics, music, and story (when you look past the horrible translation) are quite good. The addition systems do add a new element that most RPG's are missing: skill, creating a more engaging experience for the player. Each character's additions were unique and adds some depth to the gameplay.

    There are some pretty cool music tracks in the game. I liked the boss themes and "Anger of the Winglies".

    People who say that the story is a rip-off of FF7 haven't played it all the way through. It does borrow some ideas at the start, but runs with them in completely different directions, which becomes apparent by the end of Disc 3. It introduces many plot twists throughout the game that beg you to keep playing. The characters are likable, and there are are some pretty good attempts at character development. I did feel happy and sad for the characters at some points in the game. The world is also very imaginative, well developed, and has a rich background story. This is the main strength of the game, and is the cornerstone of any good RPG. For this alone, LoD gets a lot of points with me.

    The turn-based battle mechanics are implemented well enough that they do force the player to think carefully about his next move, which I like. Even though the Dragoon system is a bit limited in its scope and balance, as I mentioned above, it does add some tactical elements to boss battles.

    Overall, I think I've said everything I've wanted to say about this game. Most people seem to either love it or hate it, but it seems somehow that I've fallen in the category of neither. I do like the game quite a bit, and am even considering a second playthrough, but I do not feel it is quite up there with the greatest RPGs of all time, with the likes of FF6-10, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden I/II, etc.. I would give this game somewhere around an 8.6/8.7 if I was allowed, but I rounded down because I do not think it's really worthy of a 9. I recommend this game for RPG enthusiasts, as it is a worthy game even by today's standards, but just be aware that it is not a perfect godsend like the fans would have you believe.    … Expand

    This game is just Ok. It is a rip off of final fantasy 7. But it's super linear and you travel to your destinations on a dotted line which for me ruins any rpg. I think open worlds like ff7 is what makes an rpg great. The battle system is pretty cool but that's about it for me. Not a terrible game but not on the level of a great rpg like final fantasy.

    I tried it out recently and couldn't play it for more than 30 min. The music (even though it does get good later on with a few themes) isn't great for the most part. The graphics are only good for the water effects and the battle system is slow paced and don't get me started on the story and especially writing. It's so boring and the writing has no soul or charisma.

    I can get through the story of FFVII even today but this is just stale and lifeless. The characters act and more importantly feel so mechanical and not like real people at all. It really throws things off and makes me not care about the game's story at all. I did care back in 2000 but now, I truly find it difficult to keep myself invested in this.

    *weapons equipment list could be more organized finding the right ring to wear for the selected characters is tiresome
    *combat rewards aren't enough to buy expensive weapons they give you few gold coins even for bosses battles
    *no escape casting all you're going to do is going forth and back redoing the same path it's very time consuming, zenebatos is the most boring part of this repetitive process where you need to teleport forth and back just to change a simple code and even the code input process is not that simple and easy
    *additions takes time to lvl up for the remaining characters and for the most part you need just two characters to rely on
    *load option is not available in the menu
    *long boring dialogs even if you speed them up
    *QTE with minor enemies is not fun but it's necessary to lvl up the additions that's why random encounters get annoyingly long and boring

The world map is very simplistic, almost like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with the caravan moving between hub areas (which there are random encounters while traversing the small space between areas). Overall, while it might sound a bit base of a claim, I do feel this game was probably just trying to ride on Final Fantasy 7's success. I even heard the character names were dealt out almost in a raffle fashion during the game's production.

All of these start off very simple, and it allows newcomers to the genre to ease into it. Its packaged in a game that seems to have been pretty cinematically impressive for its time.

    The problem is that in most things, Legend of Dragoon remains very simple. The characters remain one dimensional, the combat system adds more complex additions and magic but doesn't evolve beyond that, the progression system is nonexistent, the level design remains too straightforward throughout the game (with only one or two exceptions near the end), the world design remains extremely linear throughout.

    The story too, remains quite simple. I will say though that the lore behind the world is interesting and fleshed out. Unfortunately, the story itself unfolds through extremely robotic dialogue and ultimately might be the game's weakest point other than its linearity.

    The OST too, is largely quite simple. Some of the themes like Dart's theme or Meru's theme are like AI generated themes for 'brave warrior' and 'quirky girl' respectively. They are memorable in how goofy they are. But some tracks are actually quite brilliant.

    This game is pretty anime in a lot of ways. The characters shouting their moves is really goofy and cringe, but oh well. Its just one of this games many quirks.

    In general, Legend of Dragoon is a pretty simple JRPG. But its well packaged and it does manage to find strength in its simplicity. It has moments of greatness but admittedly does pale in comparison to games like FF7.    … Expand

    If you like poor RPG´S, play this **** Seriously! This game has a lot of problems like low FPS, bad graphics and outdated gameplay. If you have a mind, dont buy this game!

    When all is said and done, The LoD is like your typical one-night stand: it's OK for a quick fix but it's nothing that will get you emotionally involved.

    To each his own opinion but for this one reviewer Legend of Dragoon is truly legendary.

    A fifty+ hour game, beautiful sound and graphics, and an interactive fighting system all wrapped in one great experience.
