The Legend of Dragoon Trophy List Revealed

It's got a total of 47 trinkets — with four Golds and four Silvers — and yes, it includes an all-important Platinum. Most Trophies are locked behind story progress, rewarding you for completing chapters, beating bosses, and recruiting new party members.

Never got a chance to experience this game. Looking forward to it!

Becuzisaid832d ago

View it through the lens of the late 90s and it's incredible. Otherwise you might be put off by how many times Shana is sent to the kitchen to make meals for the boys. Lol.

Kados832d ago

meh. All essentially free trophies for just playing through the main story. The only decent one is for 30 stardust. Doesn't even have one for beating Faust.

lodossrage832d ago (Edited 832d ago )

Look, I hate to be that guy. But this game is mediocre. I still have my copy on PS1 and beat it.

This game has no side quest, the combat is too dependent on that hitbox, and you can't even hold your dragoon form for more than like 3 turns while boss dragoon enemies can hold their form for the entire fight.

The story while fun, is predicable.

And what sucks is I'm a Playstation guy. The game isn't bad, it's just VERY average at best.

SurgicalMenace832d ago

Man... listen to this guy. Average? Sought after for years after its inception. Introducing a system inspiring PS2 games like Magna Carta. Much like the Power Rangers, Ronin Warriors, or the like in the 90s, we often seen the heroes make their transformations at the tail end of battle. It seems you're trying to subtract from its greatness based on modern practices not used in the era it was heralded in.

lodossrage832d ago (Edited 832d ago )

@SurgicalMenance,

No, I'm subtracting from it's greatness on the standard from the days I played it the moment I beat it all those years ago. There were plenty of better PS1 jrpgs that weren't even Squaresoft made let alone Final Fantasy that dwarf this game. I don't care what game it may or may not have inspired, the game still is average to me. Using a battle formula not common in that time doesn't take way from it being average

I felt the game was average when I played it as a high school student, and I feel that it's STILL average now.

@Becuzisaid

You say you don't get my gripes, but then preface each complaint with you get them to some degree.

And the reason I'm hung up on that Dragoon them hard is because THAT was the MAIN DRAW of the game. That was the big marketing point.

Becuzisaid832d ago

The original PlayStation was overloaded with incredible jrpgs so relatively speaking this one is mediocre. But your 3 complaints I don't get. The side quest thing maybe, because it really only had the stardust quest which was awful! But the additions were great and keeps you engaged the entire game in every battle, and the dragoon thing I get, but at the same time every single boss in a final fantasy game has unlimited mp and you don't, so what's the difference between that?

ManMarmalade828d ago

The dragoon transformations had a setting to make them shorter for battle. There was also a wargod talisman that you obtain later in the game that makes your additions automatic but gives you half of the SP

shinoff2183832d ago

It's nostalgia for sure but there's nothing wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with it being just a good game. Some of us just miss the old school jrpgs. They were alot better then the ones these days for the most part. These days about every rpg is action or somehow even shooters these days are being categorized as rpgs(imo there wrong)depending who you ask.

lodossrage832d ago (Edited 832d ago )

I agree with that.

As for things being what they are now with jrpgs, that's partially the current customer pools' fault.

What I mean by that is the average gamer these days doesn't care for a deep story where you have to read to get through or turn based battles where you actually have to have a plan. Most of the top selling games take no thought at all. There aren't enough of us that appreciate the older ways of jrpgs in comparison to the current number of low attention span customers.

Terranigma, many missed out on this game.

jznrpg100d ago

Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Koudelka and Shadow Hearts just to name a few.

indifference8499d ago

I would even settle for these games being brought to modern consoles.

Personally, I prefer to buy all the "remasters" of classic games on Switch so I can play them @work and on the bus.

I haven't played Parasite Eve since the 90's and I'd love to again!

The Legend of Dragoon Gets a Surprise PS5 Patch That Fixes a Lot of Issues

Sony has rolled out The Legend of Dragoon update 1.000.004, which is a surprise patch for the RPG, and this manages to fix multiple issues.

repsahj131d ago

We need a total remake of this game ASAP!

Travesty130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

With all these live service games that are really just a big gamble. Either they are positively accepted or really bad and ignored.
Sony has so many titles that no one ever heard of unless you’ve been a gamer since the 90’s.. Legend of Dragoon was quite the game. I know the turn based rpg is not as mainstream anymore but if they could just find the right team or hire the right people to remake it. It would be great.

victorMaje130d ago

Some young gamers just don’t realize the great games they should be asking for…
