The original PlayStation had a ton of RPGs. Everyone remembers Final Fantasy but to me the PS1 classic; Legend of the Dragoon will always stand out with it's combat system.

A four-disc RPG epic, The Legend of Dragoon is set in a time of swords, magic, and dragons. Ten thousand years prior, the Dragon War pitted Dragoons--humans with the power to control dragons--against Enslavers, magicians who sought to enslave the humans. Now Dart, a young warrior, is on a quest to find the demon that killed his parents. The Legend of Dragoon features prerendered, 3-D backgrounds and detailed, polygonal figures. Several nonplaying characters and many full-motion video scenes take you through the complex story. The game's turn-based battle engine allows you to increase the strength of an attack through repeated button taps and shows the percentage increase you've created. A timing feature in the battle modes allows you to add devastating combinations to your attacks. The Spirit Points you accumulate during your quest can be used to unlock a special power, known as the Dragon attack.

    Legend of Dragoon is so good! When I was a kid, my Dad and I would play it at night. It was a great introduction to gaming and had a great time hanging with my Dad. I have replayed it multiple times now too for the nostalgia.

    I didn't play a square games until decades after their releases. legend of dragoon had my heart from the start.
  • @RoseNZieg
    I love to talk to npc before and after a major event. then come back much later to see if the dialogue changed. you learn so many things about the world.
  • @7BitBrian
    Love me Legend of Dragoon, but I have to say I think Xenogears and Legend of Legaia are a bit better imo. I'd actually say the best PS1 RPGs are FFTactics and Xenogears tied for 1, followed by Legend of Legaia and Legend of Dragoon. Then we get into games like FF9, 7 and so on.
  • @DGFTardin
    This is one of those games that are 20+ years on my backlog

    I actually used my dragoon forms mostly in regular battles, namely the heal or buff spells. I find that in many battles dragoon forms are a hindrance instead of a advantage. I usually just spam the attack items that clog my inventory.
  • I’m seriously happy, excited yet terrified to know that LOD community is not only stayed alive but get stronger by the minutes😅 I’m grateful that my personal GOAT game is never forgotten🥲
  • @Grimm-Gaming
    This needs a god damned remake/remaster so damn bad !!!! <3
  • My all time favorite game!! My first rpg, the nostalgia!! Thanks for bringing love to these game!
  • @RoseNZieg
    I thought the music was on point even if they weren't fancy.

    Gawd, I remember watching my brother play this when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite games to watch him play.
  • @kingofbudokai
    To be fair regarding grinding additions, even without doing actual level grinding, you'll generally have at LEAST 5 of your additions maxed out by the time you even get to the final boss area (at least for Dart and Albert assuming you keep them in your main party, because why wouldn't you.) I can understand it being annoying for completionism, having to also do Kongol's and Haschels stuff, but Rose only has 4 in total, Miranda (the most OP late game character in the game) doesn't have any, and Meru's are fun, so it's not that bad imo for a casual playthrough. Also, yes, Legend Casque is the most busted piece of equipment in the game lol. Getting one of those for Dart and Albert each makes you an unstoppable god.

    I've been askin this for so many years and glad a big youtuber is covering it. I want a remaster.
  • @JoeKnowsGames
    Legitimately my favorite turn based combat system to date. WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE RPGS WITH THIS SYSTEM!?
  • This game introduced me to the world of old school RPGs. I found it in a bargain bin at Walmart for $10. I had a ps2 at this point but thank God for backwards compatibility. I made it to the second last boss and my disc had a scratch the led to the fight freezing every time. Years later it was released on the PS3 Playstation store and I finally completed it nearly a decade later. Needless to say, it holds a near and dear place in my heart and I'm happy to see it get any coverage.
  • @romeomonteverde
    Legaia was great too. The PS1 was truly the best RPG console ever
  • @reiezevan
    I really liked that this one is one of those that’s actually relaxing to complete…sometimes you gotta have something that’s not stress inducing
  • @HalfClassGaming
