I am physically unable to keep up with all the comments at this point, so hopefully a pinned reply will do. THANKS FOR WATCHING! Absolutely nuts to me that we will soon surpass 100k views, and as put aptly by some commenters, a clear indicator that there's still a lot of interest in a remake/sequel. Completely vindicated my statement about the passion levels for this game never being higher! I hope you enjoyed the video! My gratitude is immeasurable and my day is made.

Rose being 11 thousand years old, and going through such terrible things, finally dying with her loved one, + the final scene being the black and the red dragoon lying down together... The game is really called "The Legend of Dragoon" after her. P.S. Still remember a moment when she said "i used to be shy just like her" whilst thinking about Shanna. Cranks me up every time.

I didn't appreciate the smaller details of how well done Lavitz's death was done until I looked back on it years later. I like how you point out how expressive each of the character's reactions to it is despite being done with the in-game engine and lack of voice acting. Dart crying out, and Shana flinching away and grasping at Rose who doesn't even flinch after all the death she's seen. It's probably the most impactful scene while working within limitations of in-game visuals and sound design.

Never forget that Bluepoint Games made a Halloween tweet a few years ago where they basically hinted that they were remaking five games or six or twelve games. One of those was true (Demon's Souls, but they also name drop Wander from Shadow of the Colossus which was already out), but it also mentioned Dart and the Black Monster: "So calm this spooky night. A symphony of rumors - not one, but two - return from shadow. A resistance to dart home as black monsters escape twisted hills to wander lands and syphon souls. Filter your candy collections, soft from solid, and be eco-friendly. Have a metal Halloween." It's a pipe dream at this point, but I also know that one of the head honchos over at Bluepoint really likes LoD, and that's why the rumor took off the first place. Keep hope alive. It took ten years to announce FFVII Remake after all. And now that Sony owns Bluepoint, maybe someone at the studio has Sony's ear about it.

Or so I thought until I realized there was more disk, I remember searching everywhere in my neighborhood and beyond to find them I traded off like 100 pokemon cards for disk 2 with some kid at school, went outside my city via bus cause I seen a ad selling disk 3 and litterally fought a kid because we played cards for games and he wasn't tryna give me the forth though he lost lol man I fucking love this game.. It's one of the best I ever played and till this day I play games to find a feeling THAT game gave me..

Who translated this, it smells like America? I know their shit, I live here. Games like Mario and Zelda games back when there were manual books. There were no translation errors from Japanese translations to English. But with American companies named Canada Dubbing or something like that, that screwed up Inuyasha but that was the style back then or something. (Kagome speaking to Inuyasha not to chase after that demon bird in season 1) "No!, Don't, you'll hurt those boy!" and Yu Yu Hakasho "You're idiot!" (Kuwabara referring to Yusuke as that underwater in spirit form while Yusuke is in the middle of fighting Hate Fish and Rando.) Uploader did say the translation is walking all over the game and story and stuff, that might be the reason. Disgruntled employees slightly racist or lashing out workplace hostility led to Rockstar making GTA 5 and having some very questionable design and development choices. I say that, but it's more like a fucking warzone over there, man.

41:18 The reason why there was no teleport option at this point was because you could go back to the flower city first to attend Lynn's wedding. The game only hints at the possibility but if you follow Lynn all the way back there first you see the event and get a key item. But only if you go there at this point otherwise you miss that event. This was something i found out about in my 2nd playthrough of the game and it has 2 different outcomes as well. I'll let you discover that on your own. Besides that easily missable content I absolutely enjoyed your review and look forward to watching more in the future.

Props to you my guy, for not knowing any money making strats but still grinding out two Legend Casques. That's a feat given how little gold you get from some encounters. There are a few repeatable battle items that stun and otherwise prevent foes from running. With the use of these, you can go back to various locations in the world map and fight different rare (kinda, spawn rates are pretty good, you've probably fought a few) enemies that have high defense and usually run away before killed. If you manage to beat the right ones some drop crazy amounts of gold. Only ones I remember are 00parts outside of the black city/ Lohan area who drops 300 gold when defeated and the Rainbow Bird who's outside Rouge(I think). There are easy-ish ways but honestly you probably saved yourself a little hassle just grinding it out. I missed out on one of the repeatable items and fighting the rare monsters was incredibly difficult sometimes. Either way you nailed every aspect of this game in your review! Sad that Shanna getting ignored while Lavitz and Dart fist bump is legitimately a scene in the game xD

I really appreciate the balance of story summary, review, and comedy in this video - fantastic work and it definitely makes me want to check out more of the channel. Thanks for the content! As for LoD, It's just way too good to have gone unsupported this long by Sony compared to other lesser games that have had ports, remasters, and sequels over the same timeframe. A prequel set during the Dragon Campaign that sets up more of divine history that could lead into a remake/remaster and then a sequel would be so fantastic for this generation, especially given how the addition system could be modernized when mixed with how FF7R innovated and showed what an action RPG battle system could be. Maybe one day...

A Remaster for this game would be the same as splitting FF7R, at least 4 parts. Square-Enix took a huge risk that paid off, and while LoD is a masterpiece a remaster of this caliber isnt a guaranteed success. And honestly FF7R did an excellent choice of both telling the old story with new twists, thus making it almost like a sequel. And did a good job of not invalidating the original story-wise, dubsequently there are many new players playing Original FF7 after FF7R.

Found this a little late, but loved your review. There is kind of a way to farm money, but its still a pain in the butt. There are Unique Monsters that appear in certain areas of the overworld map, have very odd fight mechanics and will reward items, xp or gold. That is the fastest way I know to get money for the expensive items in Lohan like the Legendary Casque. They are very hard early game, but not impossible, and become much easier to farm late game before the optional superboss, assuming you have speed and accuracy items as well as having not gotten rid of the special items such as the signet stone. (There is one outside Lohan towards Kazas called 00PARTS that has 4 hp, takes 1 hp damage per hit, but is very fast and can instantly kill a character and run away, but gives 600 gold if you kill it before it runs away) Great breakdown, thanks for the video!

Great review, plenty of humor lol. I waited until the chapter 4 segment to begin a comment, but I agree with pretty much everything you've said so far except that I love the Deningrad theme. I'll never forget seeing Shana get teleported in the end of Disc 3 and wondering "Oh no! Where did she go?? What is this stupid desert? Can I still save her?!?"

I love this game. If you like the addition system, I highly recommend playing at least the first two Shadow Hearts games on PS2. They've got a timed input system that's not quite additions but does offer that same unique feeling. Also it wasn't until about my tenth playthrough that I realized it's full of puns like 'Hell in a Prison' and the 'Get Rich gang'.

Here’s an interesting strat for Faust. Every time he is attacked, he will counter with 2 spells. One of them will be a party wide random element attack. The other will be a single target spell on the character who attacked him, and it will be of that characters element (Fire on Dart, Dark on Rose, etc.) Some characters can get their appropriate Dragoon Armor to equip before the point of no return, which makes them immune to the single target counters. It’s not a guaranteed win, but it does shave off about 30% of the damage you’ll take over the course of the fight, give or take because Faust’s big attacks are also elemental. Wind, water, fire, and Earth(single target with this one). Smart party building can make 3 of the four attacks bounce off(and by smart, I mean Albert and Meru. Kongol’s magic defense is paper thin)

It's crazy to hear that the game gets harder when you transform. It makes sense now why it seemed so tough some times, but I never picked up on that. I transformed any chance I could lol. I almost beat the game too, unfortunately my last disc was badly scratched so there went that. Ive really enjoyed this retrospective, and the cool nostalgia trip. I almost forgot about this game, but you described it so well I felt like I was playing it again almost.
@ZanathKariashi
2 жыл бұрын
yeah, Transformations would've been a lot better if they just buffed you and augmented your normal attacks (like adding additional elemental damage or hitting AOE). (maybe auto-addition while active as well). The fact that they're ultimately weaker vs a properly built up character is a pretty big misstep. Or at least work similar to Knights in White Knight Chronicles where you can use the transformation to eat attacks that would otherwise kill you, with your dragoon armor having a separate HP total from your character so it can soak attacks for you. (WKC has similar issues as while the transformations do have uses (mostly their ability to deal easy aoe damage vs large groups of trivial enemies and the Shield-Knight's ability to soak party-killing attacks during post-game content), in terms of actual dps, properly built and set-up characters can do way more. Personally if Xenogears or LoD ever got a remake IMO I'd prefer if they ripped off the Arts system from Legend of Legaia/Legaia 2. Which is basically the death-blow system from Xenogears except they can be combo'd together as long as you can keep the string going, with characters getting varying art-blocks based on their combat style, so bulky/slower or less fluid characters get stronger base arts but can't combo as readily than a more fluid style (aka Fei or Haschel would have really complex combo potential and lots of art slots, while Kongol/Rico would get maybe one or two combo strings with a little bit of variety in which opener you wanted to use with a powerful finisher but their limited art slots limits their combo potential).

Man, I've watched this video probably seven times the last two weeks while working, and it got me into another playthrough now that it's finally on PS5! This is 10/10 content and I love seeing this game get recognition. This is the first game I ever played, bought it at a Blockbuster for the PS1 when I was just a wee lad and it really has stuck with me.
