Author's Review
The Legend of Dragoon, who would have thought such an excellent RPG would be created from a company OTHER than Squaresoft.
The Legend of Dragoon, in some forms, is 4 discs. This means it is a very long game and can keep you on the edge of your seat for days and days, maybe even weeks (depending on your video gaming skills). Each disc has its own theme, which are divided into what the game calls Chapters (So 4 discs=4 chapters).
The only downfall to the game is that if you are a magic lover, you can only use magic when you are a Dragoon. To acquire the ability to transform into a Dragoon you must gather at least 100 SP (Spirit Points). To gain Spirit Points you use physical attacks on your opponents, and combos gather more SP per round. You can only be a Dragoon for as many rounds as you have levels (ie: Level 2 Dragoon, you go twice. Level 3 Dragoon, you go three times...etc..) So the only major downfalls of the game come from the Dragoon aspect.
This game is not TOTALLY based on love. Love is actually rarely a part of it. For those who love the Final Fantasy games and are sick of the love stories, this is a game to play. Even for those who have PS2s, this game is great. I thought once I got my PS2 that I would never play another PS1 game EVER--boy was I wrong! After I bought Legend of Dragoon my love for RPGs was rekindled and I have recently purchased Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete, Vagrant Story, and Xenogears.
This game will completely suck you back in to the wonderful world of RPG!!
