    It's almost criminal that Legend of Dragoon was a single title and not an ongoing JRPG series.

      My words. I cant get enough of that Lore and Story.
      I played it recently and enjoyed it for the 10th time or so. I even bought it from the PSN Store to signalize to Sony that it can generate Money even after those years 😂
      I would love a Prequel with the complete Dragon campaign in Detail and if that sells good enough they could use the engine and assets to make a follow up remake of the OG game.
      Cherry on top for me as a Monster Hunter Fanboy i want a collab to fight a Virage and get a Dragoon Armor for my Hunter character.
      Oh God i got driven away in daydreams that would never come true 😢😂

    This was the game that actually hooked me on JRPGs (Legend of Legaia left a bad taste in my mouth before that).
    I would even go on to do an art project for a college course based on LoD. It was Inca History, and we had to make our own quipus (Inca record keeping devices, with certain information indicated by the weft of the fiber, color of thread, pendant threads, and number/types of knots). I was replaying LoD at the time the assignment was issued, and inspiration struck. My quipu highlighted the seven playable characters in the game, with knots and pendant threads detailing particular stats on my save file at the time. Had to deply, reply, and dye the threads myself (took about a week). Got an A on the project, and I think I still have the quipu in a drawer somewhere.

That and changing story, character, and in-universe things due to possibly being "problematic" for modern audiences and other nonsense. For example, read up on the whole Honey Bee Inn thing with Tifa and Aerith. Really is some eyerolling stuff.

    Fascinating as always. I would venture a slight disagreement regarding the Gigantos; judging by Kongol's general behavior, I tend to think the third person stuff is more an incomplete mastery of human language, and he is more intelligent than he appears.
    That aside, it never occurred to me that the Dragons were humanity's willing allies, as opposed to extremely powerful servants. In retrospect, I should have thought of it, if only because a Dragoon Spirit chooses its master. Which raises the question, why DID the Divine Dragon recognize Dart?

It wasn't until Rose forced the spirit to awaken that the Red-Eyed spirit chose to allow Dart to use it rather than kill him. (Rose says if what she'd done had failed Dart would have died) The Divine Spirit probably accepted him because he led a group of people to defeat it. Lloyd stole the final blow in order to create the spirit, but Dart and company were responsible for its death. By the time Dart gets the spirit, he has become one of the most powerful people in the world working hard to save it, protecting humans and fighting against Melbu.

Got to the same part ironically, and then my ps3s ssd decided to take a shit so i still couldnt play. Fast foward to 2024 i finally got a ps5 and saw this game on ps premium.

    Minintos have a quick wit? Mr Pelpee was a bit thick getting scammed into buying an over-priced ticket in Lohan. I'd say they are genial and amusing conversationalists if he is anything to go by when we see him next in Donau.

    One of the reason they didn’t, according to game critics is because there were major problems with this game. I played this over a decade ago and have yet to see a single problem with this game.

      It looks AI upscaled. The artifacts are a giveaway.

    Such an underrated gem and my absolute favorite game of all time. I'd give anything for a smaller company to take on a remake. AAA companies would just destroy it.
