I have fond memories of playing Legend of Dragoon one winter in high school when we had a lot of snow days. SCEA hasn't made the best RPGs, but they certainly weren't bad. I'd imagine Legaia plays very similiar to other Sony games. I can't really claim a favorite RPG, I really love the genre. I have played everything from NetHack to Final Fantasy 12 with equal enthusiasm. Chances are, if you name an RPG I've either played it or at least heard of it.

From what I've played of Legaia and Dragoon they are really differant. The combat system in Legaia is much better, and you can actually walk around the world map. The graphics are similiar I suppose, though I guess its to be expected. I'm also playing through Final Fantasy VII, since I haven't in many a years and my friend let me borrow it. I just got Tifa.

StYoung Forever Posts: 2,608 Group: God Member #17 Joined: July 13, 2006	Yup, I noticed the avatar It is a great game. I'm still yet to see watch Advent Children. And my friend has Dirge of Cerberus still in unwrapped, so I might have to convince him to open it up soon. But I heard it wasn't that great anyway...

Level 1 Scholar / Level 10 Wizard Posts: 2,851 Group: Member Member #29 Joined: September 20, 2006	I didn't really like Advent Children, FF7's story was fine without elaboration (and if you remember the ending to FF7, it sort of makes Advent Children not possible), though it was cool to see all these characters in ridiculously detailed graphics. Dirge of Cerberus... sucks. When I first played FF7, I played for like hours upon hours until I got to the end of disc one -- what happened made me so sad I actually didn't play for a few days. Those snowy fields were so lonely

And Dirge of Cerberus seemed iffy. Not to seem publisher-racist(?) but Square-Enix should stick to RPGs, not shooters... And Hydronix, what did you like about FFVIII? When I played it it didn't really catch my interest. Its laying around here somewhere, so I suppose I'll give it another go once I finish my current game backlog (which is a LOT)

I don't have the instruction manual and can't tell... Characters to the left are in the front row, characters in the back are in the back row. If the weapon is described as "long range" (or if you have the long range materia equipped) it'll do the same damage from the back row. Watch out because not all of Barret's mid-game weapons are long range. FF8 wasn't that bad, though the junction system was really easy to abuse. Once you know not to level up until Cactaur, how to abuse limit breaks, etc the game gets both cheesy and tedious.

Gemini Squadron Posts: 3,014 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: April 5, 2006	Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I and II were awesome. Even a non-Star Wars fan would probably enjoy them, assuming that they were playing Darkside. Fable was pretty good too, though way too short.

When I played it it didn't really catch my interest. Its laying around here somewhere, so I suppose I'll give it another go once I finish my current game backlog (which is a LOT) I loved the Junction system(regardless of the abuse, but it helps training), as well as the Guardian Forces. True, Diablos wasn't the ultimate one, but until then, he quite ruled at Level 100. I also liked his ability to ignore battles, which explains the ability of training. I admit, the Drawing to get Magic was a tad annoying, but with the Junction system, it was rather fun. Blinding the T-Rexaurs was pretty sweet. The characterization did suck somewhat, but it was still fun, and that's the key point. I thought its storyline was fairly linear(but not entirely poor) too.

The developers clearly had some great ideas but didn't quite pull them off. It was by no means a bad game but I just thought that it wasn't the groundbreaking experience that it was hyped up to be.

I agree. The combat was alright, and the character development (story-wise) sucked, but (level-wise) was pretty good. The level up system blew, and the environments, while pretty, weren't varied enough. The overall game was too short, and left me wanting more. The end sucked. The story sucked overall. "Your village and parents got killed! Go get revenge!!!!!" Your character sucks. Fable 2 looks awesome.

Well, it's been a long time since I beat the game, so I can't remember what happened during the credits. After the credits finish, I think there is a brief scene involving King Micky, Donald, Sora and Goofy, but I'm probably wrong.

Minsc was so funny. In FFVII I just got out of that jail like place in the golden saucer or something. I really didn't enjoy FFX much either and also gave up pretty early on. Maybe I should give them another go. My favourites would be Chrono Trigger, Might & Magic VI, Ultima VII and if you count it Heroes Of Might & Magic II.

Did you finish the first disc yet I've been playing Dawn of Souls recently. It really breaths life into a game I've already played to death. Currently defeated the Lich, upgraded my classes and gotten the airship. Up next is the volcano.

I've done one run through 3 or the 4 optional dungeons. My characters are basically walking gods, though my play clock only reads 15 hours. I have saved the dungeon with Omega and Shinryu for last -- they should pose a challenge!

Level 1 Scholar / Level 10 Wizard Posts: 2,851 Group: Member Member #29 Joined: September 20, 2006	Omega and Shinryu were sadly disappointing. The temper spell proved very broken, making the game way too easy. Not to mention having multiple rune staffs that could be used by any member of the party via the item command. Oh well! I started FF2 just for the hell of it. Currently up to the part where I get Joesf in my party.
