Review: The Legend of Dragoon (PS1) - A Flawed But Charismatic Classic - Push Square

Robert Ramsey: "If you're looking for a PS1 RPG experience that typifies the era, The Legend of Dragoon is a solid shout. A big budget title at the time, its ambition is still hard to fault — but with the benefit of hindsight, it's also easy to see where this Sony-backed release stumbles. The combat system is uniquely satisfying, but it can feel frustratingly stunted. Meanwhile, endearing characters carry an emotional story, but an awkward localisation effort comes close to sabotaging the script. A flawed classic, but a memorable adventure all the same."

I loved about everything about it way back besides the button pressing in battles and inventory limit. Everything else I felt was really good. 7 seems fair

jznrpg794d ago (Edited 794d ago )

I’m much better at the button pressing now then I was a long time ago . I’ve had practice over the years but it seems easier on the pS5 controller . I actually don’t mind it

CrimsonWing69794d ago

I rate this a 9/10. I absolutely think it’s one of the RPGs the PS1 had to offer.

DogJosha794d ago

I agree. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't flawed like the article tried to claim it was. Writers like this feel like they are trying to say what they think people want to hear. I bet they would also give FFVIII a 6/10.

One of my favorite games growing up. Almost beat it now for the 1st time in 23 years lol never managed to finish it as a kid. This will be one of my most satisfying gaming achievements

I am still praying for a proper remake of this game!

Terranigma, many missed out on this game.

jznrpg71d ago

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

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.

repsahj102d ago

We need a total remake of this game ASAP!

Travesty102d ago (Edited 102d 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.

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