The Legend of Dragoon Coming to PSN: RPG Classic Reborn May 1st

[NuSoardGraphite]

bought it yesterday. The graphics tighten up quite a bit on the smaller PSP screen and it looks decent at that scale. Works like a charm. No lag at all so the battlesystem works perfectly. Can't wait to explore this game again for the 3rd time. This time I'll probably try to collect all the Stardust...

Wish I could...

I always think of this game when Dragoon is mentioned.


However I have heard great things about this game and it might be a potential buy for me, will have to do some research.

Collecting them can be a pain. A few of them are impossible to go back to if you missed them so I keep a list of them close to me at all times. Lol!.

I'm having some trouble executing the attacks since it's been so long but I'm getting the hang of it again. The OST is giving me a lot of nostalgia. I miss the golden age.

A Unique involved battle system for its time, beautiful art style, a great party of characters, an epic story and possibly the most beautiful and paradoxically happy yet sad ending in jrpgs (the music alone will get you).

I'm on the fence about getting it, you guys all say its great but why did all the reviewers not give it the best scores?

A game doesn't need the best scores to be a good game.

True was just wondering why it seems like its such a great game but all the reviewers seem to have missed the note.

Jrpg in general, with aside the ff series, always seem to have sub par reviews regardless of how good the game is.

The game to date, has one of the bigger divides I've seen in critical and user opinion. With them seeming to average ~75% and 90+% respectively on just about any site you check. Seeing as the game sold more than enough to become a greatest hits title (1 million+ sold), I would hold side with the bigger audience that actually payed for the game, since even with the greater numbers of users, it still rated higher for them than it did for the few dozen or so critics on average.

Some reviewers did give it great scores however.

Daily Radar (GamesRadar now), and Gamepro both gave it full marks.

Game Informer gave it a 9 out of 10. OPM gave it a 4.5 out of 5.

Hell if you look at gamerankings (more extensive than meta critic here), you'll see that of the 26 reviews, 10 of them gave it 90%+ (It should actually be 11 since gamerankings forgot to put Daily Radar up there), that's more people than those that scored within 80% (3), 70% (6), 60% (5) or below (2).

And even still, some of the scores that reviewed it less than 80% still got some things completely wrong. Like the constant comparisons to FF7 that I saw, claiming its too alike or what not. And stuff like that, is completely false. The worlds aren't alike in the least, the characters and story is completely different, and the gameplay is nothing alike with any FF whatsoever. I can tell you right now, Cloud and Dart have really nothing in common other than being sword users. Dart certainly isn't the depressing, overly brooding emo type like Cloud was. He's more of the Gung ho, motivating leader type.

Did I forget to mention that?. I was surprised at first when I saw the price tag. Very reasonable for a great RPG.

[robvandam111]

Going to download it tonight. I can't wait to play this game on the portable as well.

[GalapagosaraY]

ive always wanted to play this but it will probably never appear in the EU store like most of the J-rpgs

[Sylar]

I never played this game, might have to get it, sounds awesome.

[Nitey]

It's not out in Europe unfortunately Sylar :/ Which is supremely annoying as I would love to play this again, thought it was amazing when I last played it, back in the day

[Kawaiius]

I like it so far, glad i bought it..brings back old RPG Memories..i hope it continues to be good

[zex494]

I just died a little inside. A demanded sequel killed off before it even got it's wings. Dragoon wings that is. Downloading it to show support though, i loved it. Now if they could only get R.A.D. on there..

[Kawaiius]

Story starts off a little slow though

[robvandam111]

The game actually looks keen on the psp. I wish I had the chance back in the day playing the game on the portable.

My little brother is enjoying the game a lot. This is his first time playing it so it's exciting to hear him say that even though he frequents Call of Duty.
