This game was an insanely large part of my childhood. Me and my dad would make jokes about each other saying the other would need a wargod calling to do basic things irl. "You need a wargod calling to open a door" just silly things. If i would have known id be losing my dad this year, I would have definitely tried to play thru this game with him one more time. I miss him so much.

7:23 Fun fact. That item is bugged in german. Once using that item, it asks you to pick a character to use it on, and once used, it crashes your game. Iirc, the game thinks it's either an hp or mp recovery item. sonce, it has a similar name, then either of those healing items, but I can't remember what it was.

I had the perfect method, you take your controller with both hands and put the button you intend to rapidly press on the tip of your nose lightly and then flex your arms extremely tightly to rapidly shake the controller pressing the button on your nose as fast as possible, I usually can reach the 268% on spell items.

ok i' share the tech, put a thumb on each half of the X button, shake the controller from left to right causing your two thumbs to mash the X button as quickly as possible. this ALWAYS gets me a 268% on multis. if i use one thumb i get like 255% consistently, but i need the second thumb to push it to the limit.

@Deathtome. 3 месяца назад

1. Power on your slim Playstation 2 2. Press Triangle twice (select Fast on Disc speed) 3. Insert any PS1 game that works with Fast disc speed (99.9% of games work). 4. Open disc tray once you see Playstation logo 5. Insert The Legend of Dragoon disc and enjoy full speed on any Slim console. Info : If you own any PS2 slim with model number 77000 (or lower) the steps above are NOT necessary. Basically only the new consoles block Fast disc speed.

How the hell does someone realize they need to save over a Megamall or metal gear file to get this to happen? I'll never understand how people figure this shit out. Why would anyone even think that would even be an option?

@Deathtome. 3 месяца назад

There are probably more possibilities out there. Blackdeathdoom bought a used memory card with those saves (copied to another memory card) and noticed it worked. The previous solution was get a brand new memory card never used, but that was not sustainable. Honestly, could have been other game saves on that memory card, doesn't have to specifically be those but those are indeed working (have not tried many other saves yet). Once you deleted those save files the memory card act as a new memory card; which was necessary for that specific category.

@ericmcmanus5179 3 месяца назад

@@Deathtome. but how does someone even know that deleting any save files would do this?

@Deathtome. 3 месяца назад

That part is not even mysterious. You need a brand new memory card (or one that never played Dragoon before go run the category. Removing the saves aren't a necessity just makes saving faster. You just needed to find a way to make the memory card not remember any Dragoon save ever being there. Overwriting enough times until it forgets. I think you just need 1 or 2 saves from another game and delete them for it to work. So this is not optimal at all, but the first and only reliable way found. Nonody tried improving it since to find easier method or different ways. If it works it works.@@ericmcmanus5179
