First time playing this one, and its a popular request from many of you, so thank you for the suggestion. The unique combo battle system is easily the most stand-out and enjoyable part of this game, and one I see very rarely in any game outside of fighters. I have to nitpick two things though; their ages are listed as Vahn (14), Noa (12) and Gala (21) and their models Really make me think they're 6 years older each (20/18/27). Also, the game states Vahn is the leader and implies Gala is the muscle and Noa is the face .... but really, based on the writing and in practice, Gala is the leader, Noa is the muscle, and Vahn is the face of the party. Shoutout to a good fishing minigame, I do enjoy those a lot.
You have very valid nitpicks. Glad you got to play this one though.
It really has a heavy Nostalgia hold on me.
Coulda sworn Gala was 18. Oddly, Gala was the mage for me; if I recall correctly, he has the highest intelligence/wisdom. But yeah, it's interesting how they break tropes in that sense. Noa is a beast.
Don't forget the ability to tame Seru to fight for you.
Please do the recapitation of legend of heroes trails of cold steel
I think I requested this, thx alot
Anyone else remember getting hooked on this game after playing the demo that I think came in a PlayStation Magazine or something?
I mom did. She loved it!
@@gjtrue It's the reason I ended buying it. Awesome game and was looking for a new PlayStation jrpg after FFVII.
yeah that's how I got it.
Hell yeah I played that demo for hours! Lol
PlayStation Underground. I'm getting old...
I loved this game as a kid I hope one day it gets an HD remaster
That would be awesome. I doubt it will happen though because even the original wasn't very well known. How about that FF7 Remake though? Im SO excited for that.
i agree with mazda, prokion already dead. if ever someone make remaster/remake of this game. i bet someone from prokion/ someone related to them gonna sue the maker (yeah it's all money again).
@itissillygucci I feel you but I would just like to see it on a modern system
@@dtownhammer They did make a second game with better graphics. Nowhere near what it is today but still.
Me too. Altough even a port would already make me happy as fuck.
I audibly gasped when seeing this.
You ain't the only one, friend.
I did too!
Same, high pitched squeal mighta been included, too.
all four of you are now my friends because ALSO ME.
Same!!!
This was my first JRPG... and my first game ever. It deserves much more love than it gets. It is a cult classic, at least.
Im the same. My first game ever. I remember being so scared by those boxy enemies. Hahaha
@@Pichipieify Mei was so HOT haha crazy how real this looked when I was little. I guess the imagination of a kid is pretty powerful.
It was my first-ever video game.
It wasn't my first video game as I had a desktop computer before I owned a Playstation. (Windows 95, anybody ? ... Original doom ? ... No ? ) It was one of the first titles I bought when I got my console, though. I absolutely loved it. I think its relative lack of popularity is due to timing. FF7 was out too and probably overshadowed it because the FF series was already well established and had an incredible fan base, so most people bought it first. I was able to replay it a couple of times before my Playstation died, and then once more on my computer with an emulator. It would be really fun if Steam or GOG picked it up and re-released it. Would definitely buy it again.
My first JRGP I played from start to finish.
Seeing this makes me happy beyond belief. Legend of Legaia was the game that got me into JRPGs and is one of my all-time favourites - yet remains strangely obscure in this day and age despite honestly being one of the best JRPGs of all time.
Same here, I played this so much till I found final fantasy. Bought this game 4 times cuz it would always get stolen by a friend lol
@@Foul_Evol funny you should say that because that ALSO happened to me? we needed better friends back in the day. haha.
Same here bro!
It and legand of dragoon
Far from the best JRPG
I'm so happy my favorite game of all time is getting the recognition. It deserves.
The sequel is good, try it out
I didnt know there was a sequel! Sweet!
Jordan Stewart yea it was on PS2. It’s a sequel in name and combat system only as midway during development the OG team left so another team picked it up to finish and changed to story around so it wasn’t linked to the previous game. It’s called Legaia 2 Duel Saga it’s still really good.
That sequel was beyond TRASH lol.. only cool thing was that female character weaving Naruto signs
@@nike9009 Is not that bad.. It just lacks a little in the story area but the gameplay is still pretty solid
Confession time... I prefer the combat of Legaia 2 over Legaia 1.
I never played this as a kid, but playing it at age 30 takes me all the way back to the 90s. There's no feeling quite like it
My favorite JRPG of ALL TIME! So good to see someone doing such an awesomely detailed video about it. I thank you.. from the bottom of my heart.. I thank you.
Also check out my Legaia Let's Play if you want! A lot of people seem to like it. xD
"Vahn, what's a pimp?" - Noa.
Sol Broadway Gala= So, what's the deal with Biron monks, huh? Bunch of guys shave their heads and live in reclusion wearing the same boring outfit everyday...it's like a prison, but with less soap and more man on man "action", if you know what I'm saying (insinuating gesture) What's more, none of the monks are that strong either. Finding an actual strong guy over there is harder than finding a toilet in the monastery, believe me. Protip= there's not one fucking toilet in the whole Biron monastery. Yeah, we just shit out the windows. Well, I'm being unfair, ladies and gentlemen. There was this guy, called Songi who was pretty strong for sure. His hair was so spiky that I actually thought a porcupine died in his head. Sorry, sorry, I'm just kidding. I mean I thought a whole family of porcupines died in there. And he had some weird addiction to "fury boosts" (*whispering on the mike: "That's the biron name for steroids"). We used to be roommates for a while until I found this weird-shaped lippian toy on his pillow one day...Do I need to tell you more? I told Master Zopu about that incident and everybody started to call him "lip kid". One day Songi was gone fishing and when he returned I said out loud for everybody to hear= "Hey, Songi, did you catch a Fly Pie, a Charger...or a new girlfriend?" Everybody laughed their assess off. Oh boy, I wonder why he hates me so much...
Nice
Something interesting the Legaia Wiki states is that in terms of stats, Noa has the highest speed and agility, Gala has the highest intelligence, attack, and upper defense and Vahn is the middle for everything but lower defense, which he has the highest in. If it's true, then that's amazing. His father lost the use of his legs, so he would work them twice as hard, even if he was doing it subconsciously. I don't know if it is true, but it would be amazing if it is!
Very cool!
The damage Noa dealt was pretty average until she got her miracle arts. Her bird step attack was absolutely killer and the one I relied on the most. Her high agility made her meter fill faster so she could use it more often, too. Vaughn and Gala's miracle arts seemed lackluster by comparison, and I usually stuck to their higher end attacks or strung a couple of their mid tier attacks into a combo of sorts. Loved this game.
A Golden Sun series recapitation would be fantastic
Majuular just did one for Golden Sun 1.
Always nice to see Legend of Legaia get the attention it deserves. Nice recap video.
This was my first game ever !! I loved that when you got new equipment it would reflect on your character and change their outfit in those days it was rare a game did that ^_^ super nostalgia attack.
And with moderate amount of detail too. Some of Noah's outfits had wicked calligraphy
My childhood right here! A great game and extremely underrated. THIS deserves the same HD remake treatment Final Fantasy VII is getting. Good music, story, characters, lore, and unique gameplay. Legend of Legaia deserves way more love and I hope Sony feels the same. 😍😎
one of my "first" RPG that I played alongside FF8, Xenogears and Suikoden. I pretty much love the battle system.
I also played the sequel in PS2.
Ever played legand of dragoon or inotia 3
@@joeypatton5691 I have played Legend of Dragoon. Sadly I couldn't finished it on my PSX since it dies due to a game called Winning Eleven who was constantly being played by my little brother. I finished it years later in a PC, using emulator. And ... I don't think I've ever heard of Inotia 3 back then.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So many memories and nostalgia from this game. Thank you for your hard work 😍😍😍
I remember picking this up in a bargain bin, not knowing what it was and what I had in store. Great time!
What blew my mind is that they had all this content on just one disc!
I found a copy at a flea market. Became one of my favorite games. I still play it from time to time.
An HD remake of this game needs to happen.
This is one of my favorite rpgs on the ps1
Heck yeah. It is still own of my favorite games of all time.
I love this game so much. Very close to being my favorite game ever!
I love how the armor sets change over the course of the game, as well as the ra-seru. Skins before they were a thing.
Trails/Trials of Cold Steel RECAPitation?
I did the same thing
The delilah siblings was such a unique fight -- I don't recall anything like it in recent games. Miss this game.
Wow..I just started replaying this a few days ago I haven’t played this game since it released what are the odds
Same here! I started playing it the same day as the video post
Literally playing this rn, never realized how Gaza was the magic user and Noah is the physical fighter when I was a kid
If you mean Gala, he will surpass the other two heroes in pretty much everything at higher levels
Nah Noah is always the fastest and her unlocks miracle arts first
The beginning part reminded me so much to Attack on Titan. It's a really cool story, I always enjoy these recapitations.
I've always said this
Thank you so much for shading some light to this wonderful game that brings back so many memories!
Quality content as always!
Gala isn't 21, he's 18.
Im playing this today thru an emulator and I'm already at Dr. Ushu research center. Hoping there's part 2 because the story is so wonderful.
There is a 2 but its not the same universe, same battle system, different magic and gameplay.
Yes, unfortunately, the second part followed the trends and did what every other JRPG was doing. It really didn't stand out. Wasted potential, in my opinion.
I finally found the game I was looking for since I was a kid. Thank you random youtube recommendation
I've never played this game, and despite playing a lot of jrpgs, this plot seems so convoluted my head is spinning
One of the first few games i enjoyed when i got my playstation back 20 years ago... 20 years.. Damn i'm old..!!
You can lock you progress if you accidentally sell a key item that you need in Sol Tower and you can't finish the game without it 😭 I had to restart the whole game because of this one time 😂😂
Holy crap, I was just searching for this but to no avail, then you suddenly release omg thank youuuu for your awesome work! Keep it up!
Cyndril89 does a good let's play of this game. Incase your into those =)
to anyone reading this, you are unique, you are special. You are special and unique because you played this game. This game taught me many moral values throughout life. It also showed me that life can be a little bit more Grimm when you are nothing but kind-hearted and sweet. to anyone who has played this game, you are a blessing to this world and you would be my best friend. However, Nothing pisses me off more than when Mei ends up with ixis in the end. Pick the right responses throughout the game from Van to Mei, and she will choose to travel with you in the end.
My mom bought this game in a yard sale for 25c for my little brother back in 2001 but he didn’t even play games lol. I never liked RPGs at that time until I was bored and decided to try it out. This became my favorite game. Then I played Guardians Crusade and finally I moved up to FFVII and FFX and pretty much every RPG there was out. I was 13/14 then and now I’m 36 🥴. I still play it when I get a chance on my phone through Emulation.
Another amazing video! I'm always impressed on your dedication with making long and well researched videos
Keep up the incredible work ^.^
*lmao It's too bad back then, game companies couldn't make actual gameplay look as good as the cutscenes given how the technology was back then. 😂😂😂😂😂 Now that the technology has improved over the years, it would be cool to see a reboot of the game. But, we all know that there isn't much hope for that.*
Definitely one of the more unique stories i've played when i was younger. Thanks for covering it
TORNADO FLAME !!!!
god i love this has a kid this and Star ocean second story are my first game i played like crazy
legaia 2
That moment when internet is not a thing back then and just suddenly discovered a miracle arts for the first time.. Oh boy, my excitement at that time was unmeasurable..
The internet was a thing back then. I remember looking up the arts on Gamefaqs quite clearly
@@etherealessence not in my country.. in 2000 only rich people can access to the internet..
@@gyrenrockz fair point
*Mortal Kombat 11 Recap?*
*Star Fox SNES Recap?*
Omg!! I'm so glad you did Legend of Legaia! That's my childhood right there. I started playing Legaia 2, and I wish this wasn't so overlooked. Thanks for another great recapitation!
Soul reaver series or dark cloud 2 maybe? Love your content man.
I enjoyed this video. I'm guessing that this is kind of irrelevant, but he didn't mention the obtaining of the other Ra-seru eggs of Water, Earth, and Darkness.
This is one of my top favorites on my list of JRPG games. Thank you so much for spreading awareness of the game to people, this is a underrated masterpiece. The story, the characters, and the gameplay are just amazing. I REALLY wish for a good remake.
Are you ever going to continue the trails in the skies series
I will, I promise
It's amazing how the Ra-Seru take care of the protags like they are their own kids
I never knew about the light novel! I'll have to take a look around, see if I can't track it down. Our disagreement aside, I'm immensely pleased by the quality of your RECAPitation of this game. I remain surprised that it took 35 minutes, since this was a relatively short RPG compared to other releases in the PlayStation era and most of this game's run-time is used to grind levels and currency. Legend of Legaia met my 'Gain my interest in the first hour' with a wonderfully done prologue with the revivification of the Genesis Tree. One of the most effective elements of this game is how it shows you the effects of the Mist on the common people. Being possessed by the insane Seru is never shown to be anything but horrific and painful for the victims. I also enjoy that not all the story is explicitly stated, but rewards astute players with the early revelation that the Ra Seru are being used to create the Mist. What happened in Vidna is also foreshadowed by a civilian within the town who states the magma is what powers the windmills. Just lovely bits of writing like that, I think, helps make this game stand out. :D
Conkram... God, that place. The environment went above and beyond the horrors of possessed existence by the Seru shown in every other city enveloped in Mist up until this moment. Supremely done, if you ask me. It's only going to get worse when Rim Elm is taken by the Juggernaut. Fun fact: If you visit Octam while your entire party is Level 99, you gain a new spell that enables the summoning of an evil Seru: Juggernaut itself. It's a massive grind that I've never undertaken, but it is a neat reward.
Fabricated the Time Space Bombs, huh? I guess you enjoyed a certain game you streamed recently. ALSO YEAH! I love those role calls that you do! :D
Anyways, a beautiful RECAPitation as always. I'm on my way to meet you on the next battlefield.
Guess I'll finish this game again for the 13th time.
Hell yes! So many fond memories of this game from my childhood. Any plans to do Legaia 2 as well? Loved that playing that game too
I always saw this game sitting on the used game shelf of my local Electronic Boutique way when I was a teen picking up an extensive collection of PlayStation RPGs, but I never ended up buying it for some reason. There were always other new or used RPGs that looked more interesting, so I always overlooked Legaia. It's good to finally know the story I missed out on.
I have never watched you before, but the first video of yours in my feed is my 2nd favorite game of all time. Bless you, have a sub
They should remaster or put this game on the ps4/ps5 like they did with legend of dragoon.
Well this came as a pleasant surprise. I thought the next video scheduled was something different. Not complaining though.
Switching between this and Legend of Dragoon made a bitchin childhood as a gamer.
That was a nice hidden gem, I'm glad I played it back then.
Please do xenoblade chronicles. The one for the Wii. Would like to know that full story
My first JRPG. Truly a masterpiece. I really wish we’d get a remake/remaster of this and Legaia 2
I really enjoyed this game but I didn't remember any of it, so this video was really nice. How are the characters sooo young?? lol
Love this game, thanks for doing it. Any chance for the Shadow Hearts series?
Before watching: Thank you so much for doing this wonderful game, and yes, I do agree that ages mentioned in game do not fit at all.
After watching: Thank you, great game. You are awesome Oni. I still have the ps1 disk for this.
This is my favorite game of all time. I grew up playing it, and still play it to this day. The story line is amazing, and still captures my imagination to this day. I really wish the sequel would have followed the same storyline/universe. As much as I would love an HD remake of this, I highly doubt it will ever happen. Will have to see what happens with the reddit remake.
this was during the golden age of JRPG... gosh i missed this era
I'm currently playing it, in the beginning I was a bit sceptical but it's quite fun, the story is solid and the characters unique. I do love noa, with the seru named terra. Her reactions and ways of seeing life and the willingness to do good is heart striking.
This game needs a remaster.
Legend of dragoon too... That was an awesome game, very much of the time though.
I had forgotten the name of this game for so long. I got it randomly when it first came out and loved the story line and gameplay. Thanks for helping me remember such a great game.
Would love a remake and/or re-release of this one it was pretty cool.
By any chance could you do a RECAPitation on Guilty Gear
Recapitation on digimon cyber sleuth!!!
Didn't. Songi have a special seru called a Kim-Seru? Which is why he can merge/evolve with it without it possessing him? That is something I seem to recall but could be mistaken....
Before his final fight, Songi reveals he encountered Cort, who tampered with his Ra-Seru. He doesn't say when, but it was likely early since Songi would help Cort's plans in return, and Cort of course modified it to fuse with a Sim-Seru.
Oh my god you are forever my friend for this. I have been fantasizing for years for them to remake this very underrated rpg
I'd buy a remake of this masterpiece. Hope they don't mess up the music though
Same!! I'm still playing through the game, but I've know about it for a few years. It's SUCH a great RPG, it shouldn't be as underrated as it is.
@@TurtleBug8643 if they do all i ask is for xbox port
Not gonna lie. I've seen this video like 10 times already.
34:19 Now this party, whew. This character recap and seeing how they have grown through this game is just AWESOME! Thank you for including a part like this, it really shows how much we learned about these characters and seru at first glance and how much they have grown!
this game is better than final fantasy 7 idgaf it does not get any better than this
This was amazing! Hoping for a Duel Saga next!
Am I the only one who felt like this was Wild Arms using Chrono Trigger's story when first playing it?
Yes.
This was a fun game. I played it growing up.
I remember this game. I loved it. And the Italian translation was hilariously bad. So bad it's good levels of bad.
God, I love this game! It's the first RPG I've ever played. Such memories!
Oh finally it's here! My very first RPG on the PS.
Legaia 2 for RECAPitation
The demo that was put out for the game was just the first city but they changed it by adding the two other party members to the village allowing the player to use all 3. They also break the 4th wall a few times.
Where did the demo come out at? Ps magazine?
@@MikeVideos327 I still have it, it's a Toys R Us demo disc. Has a comicbook dot style woman's face on the front screaming "Attack Of The Killer Demos!". Don't know if this helps but the disk has "SCUS-94397" and "PSRM-013720" on it.
Edit: Also, thanks to your asking, I now know where my copy of Riven is.
This is my favorite Jrpg. You just got a new subscriber, I came into here to watch a video of Castlevania series and just saw this one. Thank you!
I loved this video I hope you do more underrated RPGs. Have you gotten any request for Alundra yet? That would be awesome if you did. Keep up the food work!
Imagine if they remade this via kickstarter or something similar. I'll back this up in a heart beat.
Follow a lite version of what theyre doing with ff7 make it beautiful and flesh out the established locations. I'd very much like to see a semi-deserted drake kingdom outside of drake castle. Instead of just a hunting ground and rim elm.
OMG i fucking loved this game!! Thanks for the great recapitation!
this is a good channel with great content....i like it🙂
I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS IN 2020
This is my all time favourite game... Played this with my brother when I was 9 years old..
And I'm 27 now... aaAAaAAA
Does anyone still got the strategy guide? Mine was worn out LOL! I still remember Noa's Tempest Break combo like it was just yesterday! This game is an absolute gem! If it delayed the sales from FF7 then yea it probably would have been bigger. But 970k is still a big number back then. Anyone remember the combos by heart still? haha
Absolutely love that you covered this. Fantastic, unique rpg that not enough people know about.
Suikoden 1 3 4 5 plssss
Why not suikoden 2?
I played this game so much as a kid and never was able to get further than brion monastary... this game ended up convoluted as all heck but I still love it
I would be interested in an Illusion of Time (Illusion of Gaia) RECAPitation.
One of the few JRPGS where you have no useless party members.
That is true when you think about it
Could you give the Dragon Quest games a try?
Which one, or -more specifically- which universe within Dragon Quest?
While I loved many games of this era, FF7, FFT, Metal Gear, so many others, Legend of Legaia has always held a strong place in my memory, especially that moment when we find out the seru vlillage is just gone and all the people are lost, such a deeply painful moment. Would love to see this game rereleased in a similar way to how Saga Frontier recently was, something that just bring it improved graphics and a few new features, not changing things, unlike FF7 not actually remake alternate timeline.
Never heard of this game looks like a great one ....can you please start leaving what system the games you recap are available on but if not that's what's Google is for . Keep up the good videos 😊
Yes I do realize he does say what it's on at the beginning of each video 😂
