So, Talk To Me About RPGs or Something. [LVL 3+ Giveaway Inside] [Ended]

Just want to mention Golden Sun, since it isn't the most popular JRPG out there.

As for the Final Fantasy series, I have played a tiny bit of FFIV and FFVII. And then I played FFVI quite a bit but once I had lost time for it and took a break from it, I never really came back to it sadly.

My first Final Fantasy was FFX, and I still listen to "To Zanarkand". I played FF7 and the story was good and minigames weren't bad. I just liked the music better in FFX. Anyone have a memorable song?

I really like RPGs, sadly I don't have the time to play them lately.

Never played The Legend of Dragoon, but I love RPGs.

For me it started with Final Fantasy on the NES - it was my first JRPG, and it was amazing! I then went on to play Willow (so good), Crystalis (I remember it being great), and Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) IV (utterly amazing!).

On the PC I started with the AD&D Gold Box, specifically the original Pool of Radiance which I loved, and then I played a couple of the Dragonlance ones (the X of Krynn ones).

I feel that Legend of Dragoon is one of those games that overstayed it's welcome. It's good but by the last 2 disks it gets silly with dragging out the dungeons. On the other hand modern JRPGs drag the whole game out with hours of cutscenes so maybe it's just par for the course.

But on the topic of remakes and remasters, I really wish they would bundle and release the Wild Arms games all together. I know people didn't like the last ones but I'd love a chance to play them all without paying out the nose for used copies and hooking up my PS2.

i think you posted this on the wrong site. people dont talk about games on this site unless sjw's are mad at it. lol

my fave thing about LoD was it was the first jrpg i ever played with a combat wheel, i was so all about it.
i still have my old psx disc but it will not play. i ran it through 3 disk cleaners, i even had it done at record exchanged but the disk just wont work :(

My PS1 was pretty much my babysitter when I was a kid and I put tons of hours into The Legend of Dragoon.
Through the years I forgot what the game was called because adult life pretty much just makes you forget most of the fun things you were doing as a kid (I also remember that I used to know the name of every 1st Gen Pokemon by heart but now I can't even name 20 of them off the top of my head).
Fast forward to now when I looked at your poll and had to look up what "The Legend of Dragoon" was then I saw screens of it and I recognized it right away and the memories just came flooding back. Thank you for making me remember one of my favorite games of all time and source of my fondest childhood memories (getting home from school, doing homework at light-speed just so I could finally play some games).

Anyway, RPGs really ARE dope. My favorites, in no particular order, are
• FFX (first FF I played, best FF for me)
• Dark Cloud (first game I played on my PS2, I really liked the town/city building system which was a nice break from all the dungeon crawling)
• Valkyrie Profile (the battle system and the "release" mechanic stood out for me... VP: Hrist never ever)
• Riviera: The Promised Land (I have it on both my PSP and GBA)
• Mega Man Legends (I never knew Mega Man was primarily a platformer because this is the first Mega Man game I played)
I've played tons of RPGs but these are the ones I put serious amounts of time into.

Yo!

None of the above - it has to be a Dragon Campaign prequel. It feels like we missed a hell of a game there.

i LOVED legend of dragoon. somehow i still own my original copy, along with ff7-9 and a few others.. basically the games that are close to my heart.. i feel it doesn't get nearly as much love as it should. when i was younger, i was all into the final fantasy series too. hell, i can remember playing the original on my nes when i was only like 6 years old. sure i had no idea what i was doing and never got far, but i had a fun time killing imps over and over again. i considered clearing that first castle in the north area to be an achievement. i don't own a ps4, but i am absolutely gonna have to buy one before march 3rd so i can play the ff7 remake.

Dope.

I dunno man, Legend of Dragoon had a somewhat interesting combat system, but that's pretty much the only thing that made it stand out to me personally. I do think other JRPGs, such as Paper Mario, and Super Mario RPG did it better. And I'd be all for more games with that style of combat, just not sure about Legend of Dragoon specifically. I've never cared much for any of the games in the "Mario & Luigi" series, despite them also having a similar kinda timed (QTE) bonus combat.

As far as a remaster goes? Maybe. Though I think they'd probably benefit from changing it significantly, not just throwing some filter over it and calling it done.

Ok. let's talk. FF is a jRPG, another genre.

I never had an original Playstation. I owned a PS2 for less than a year (I didn't dislike it, I just had to get rid of it). I never played Legend of Dragoon, though I was aware of it at the time.

I played FFVII on PC in high school--it was one of those rare instances of the media's fascinations rubbing off on me. They made FFVII out to be the second coming of Jesus, and I was curious.

Well, Jesus did not come, but it was an interesting experience. Having never played a Final Fantasy game before, I hadn't played anything like FFVII. A bizarre story, a bizarre cast of characters, such atmospheric music, a semi-open world, side quests and mini games, chocobos, airships... it really was like nothing else I had ever played.

I have no idea how many hours I clocked in that game, because the timer runs out at 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.

And then... I didn't even beat the darn thing. There's a part late-game where you go into a massive crater. I stopped there. I never experienced "one-winged angel" for myself. I think I just got burnt out, and never got around to going back. And over the years, when I would re-install it, I never got even close to that far again.

What I've learned is that once I play that type of game, I need to make sure I finish it, because if I don't, it will nag me in the back of my mind for years.

I have FFVII in my Steam library, but haven't played it yet, because I know I need to be ready to do it all again, and more.

Also, they need to put Skies of Arcadia on PC. That's another game I never got around to finishing.

Legend of Dragoon. The best memories from that game! GUST OF WIND.............................................................DANCE!
I've been thinking about that lately too since I have wanted to replay it but there hasn't been any ports, or remakes.

PS1 was by far my favorite era of jrpgs. Final Fantasy 7-9, Grandia, and Parasite Eve in particular were all fantastic. Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Sega Saturn was also very good.
These days I think the Persona and Ys series are doing a good job keeping jrpgs relevant (while Idea Factory, Kemko, and almost everyone using RPG Maker seem to want to drown the genre in junk).

Skies of Arcadia remaster or we riot.

i get bored playing it...
heck i want Chrono Cross instead
