Recap of Legend of Legaia (RECAPitation) 

First time playing this one, and its a popular request from many of you, so thank you for the suggestion. The unique combo battle system is easily the most stand-out and enjoyable part of this game, and one I see very rarely in any game outside of fighters. I have to nitpick two things though; their ages are listed as Vahn (14), Noa (12) and Gala (21) and their models Really make me think they're 6 years older each (20/18/27). Also, the game states Vahn is the leader and implies Gala is the muscle and Noa is the face .... but really, based on the writing and in practice, Gala is the leader, Noa is the muscle, and Vahn is the face of the party. Shoutout to a good fishing minigame, I do enjoy those a lot.

Anyone else remember getting hooked on this game after playing the demo that I think came in a PlayStation Magazine or something?

I audibly gasped when seeing this.

I loved this game as a kid I hope one day it gets an HD remaster

Seeing this makes me happy beyond belief. Legend of Legaia was the game that got me into JRPGs and is one of my all-time favourites - yet remains strangely obscure in this day and age despite honestly being one of the best JRPGs of all time.

This was my first JRPG... and my first game ever. It deserves much more love than it gets. It is a cult classic, at least.

"Vahn, what's a pimp?" - Noa.

I love how the armor sets change over the course of the game, as well as the ra-seru. Skins before they were a thing.

A Golden Sun series recapitation would be fantastic

Something interesting the Legaia Wiki states is that in terms of stats, Noa has the highest speed and agility, Gala has the highest intelligence, attack, and upper defense and Vahn is the middle for everything but lower defense, which he has the highest in. If it's true, then that's amazing. His father lost the use of his legs, so he would work them twice as hard, even if he was doing it subconsciously. I don't know if it is true, but it would be amazing if it is!

this was during the golden age of JRPG... gosh i missed this era

I'm so happy my favorite game of all time is getting the recognition. It deserves. The sequel is good, try it out

My childhood right here! A great game and extremely underrated. THIS deserves the same HD remake treatment Final Fantasy VII is getting. Good music, story, characters, lore, and unique gameplay. Legend of Legaia deserves way more love and I hope Sony feels the same. 😍😎

This was my first game ever !! I loved that when you got new equipment it would reflect on your character and change their outfit in those days it was rare a game did that ^_^ super nostalgia attack.

The delilah siblings was such a unique fight -- I don't recall anything like it in recent games. Miss this game.

Always nice to see Legend of Legaia get the attention it deserves. Nice recap video.

I love this game so much. Very close to being my favorite game ever!

I never played this as a kid, but playing it at age 30 takes me all the way back to the 90s. There's no feeling quite like it

one of my "first" RPG that I played alongside FF8, Xenogears and Suikoden. I pretty much love the battle system. I also played the sequel in PS2.

Literally playing this rn, never realized how Gaza was the magic user and Noah is the physical fighter when I was a kid

An HD remake of this game needs to happen. This is one of my favorite rpgs on the ps1

Thank you, thank you, thank you. So many memories and nostalgia from this game. Thank you for your hard work 😍😍😍

Thank you so much for shading some light to this wonderful game that brings back so many memories! Quality content as always!

Omg!! I'm so glad you did Legend of Legaia! That's my childhood right there. I started playing Legaia 2, and I wish this wasn't so overlooked. Thanks for another great recapitation!

34:19 Now this party, whew. This character recap and seeing how they have grown through this game is just AWESOME! Thank you for including a part like this, it really shows how much we learned about these characters and seru at first glance and how much they have grown!

Definitely one of the more unique stories i've played when i was younger. Thanks for covering it

The beginning part reminded me so much to Attack on Titan. It's a really cool story, I always enjoy these recapitations.

Holy crap, I was just searching for this but to no avail, then you suddenly release omg thank youuuu for your awesome work! Keep it up!

I have never watched you before, but the first video of yours in my feed is my 2nd favorite game of all time. Bless you, have a sub

Gala isn't 21, he's 18.

This is one of my top favorites on my list of JRPG games. Thank you so much for spreading awareness of the game to people, this is a underrated masterpiece. The story, the characters, and the gameplay are just amazing. I REALLY wish for a good remake.

I remember picking this up in a bargain bin, not knowing what it was and what I had in store. Great time! What blew my mind is that they had all this content on just one disc!

It's amazing how the Ra-Seru take care of the protags like they are their own kids

This is my favorite Jrpg. You just got a new subscriber, I came into here to watch a video of Castlevania series and just saw this one. Thank you!

Trails/Trials of Cold Steel RECAPitation?

This was hands down my favorite game on ps1! Thank you for covering it

I finally found the game I was looking for since I was a kid. Thank you random youtube recommendation

Whoa your back thanks for this retrospective enjoyed it

I've never played this game, and despite playing a lot of jrpgs, this plot seems so convoluted my head is spinning

That moment when internet is not a thing back then and just suddenly discovered a miracle arts for the first time.. Oh boy, my excitement at that time was unmeasurable..

This was amazing! Hoping for a Duel Saga next!

I cannot tell you how happy I am seeing you posting this.

I was so happy to see this! I end up replaying this every year or so. Ahh.. nostalgia!!

My first JRPG. Truly a masterpiece. I really wish we’d get a remake/remaster of this and Legaia 2

I had forgotten the name of this game for so long. I got it randomly when it first came out and loved the story line and gameplay. Thanks for helping me remember such a great game.

oh man, first time i see such a freshly uploaded vid from you, i've loved watching your recapitation series over the years ^^ Also i really love legaia

Thanks for this! Recently played through the game again! This game has been my childhood favorite!

I really enjoyed this video! thank you :) Brought me right back to my childhood. I was happy to read in the comments that my memory of every boss being enormously difficult is accurate. I remember grinding for each one, and when I finally overcame them, the feeling was fantastic. Kind of like a more difficult, RPG version of souls games.

Awesome video! This is one of the only games i finished as a kid.

Loved this game happy you enjoyed it bro. Thanks for the audio book 🥰

Im playing this today thru an emulator and I'm already at Dr. Ushu research center. Hoping there's part 2 because the story is so wonderful.

I always saw this game sitting on the used game shelf of my local Electronic Boutique way when I was a teen picking up an extensive collection of PlayStation RPGs, but I never ended up buying it for some reason. There were always other new or used RPGs that looked more interesting, so I always overlooked Legaia. It's good to finally know the story I missed out on.

Thank you for this! I never finished it as a kid but remember it being awesome.

Oh my god you are forever my friend for this. I have been fantasizing for years for them to remake this very underrated rpg

Hell yes! So many fond memories of this game from my childhood. Any plans to do Legaia 2 as well? Loved that playing that game too

That was a nice hidden gem, I'm glad I played it back then.

This game is darker than I remember! Also thanks for covering this! It’s been AGES

your recaps are so good

This is my favorite game of all time. I grew up playing it, and still play it to this day. The story line is amazing, and still captures my imagination to this day. I really wish the sequel would have followed the same storyline/universe. As much as I would love an HD remake of this, I highly doubt it will ever happen. Will have to see what happens with the reddit remake.

Absolutely love that you covered this. Fantastic, unique rpg that not enough people know about.

My mom bought this game in a yard sale for 25c for my little brother back in 2001 but he didn’t even play games lol. I never liked RPGs at that time until I was bored and decided to try it out. This became my favorite game. Then I played Guardians Crusade and finally I moved up to FFVII and FFX and pretty much every RPG there was out. I was 13/14 then and now I’m 36 🥴. I still play it when I get a chance on my phone through Emulation.

One of the first few games i enjoyed when i got my playstation back 20 years ago... 20 years.. Damn i'm old..!!

I never knew about the light novel! I'll have to take a look around, see if I can't track it down. Our disagreement aside, I'm immensely pleased by the quality of your RECAPitation of this game. I remain surprised that it took 35 minutes, since this was a relatively short RPG compared to other releases in the PlayStation era and most of this game's run-time is used to grind levels and currency. Legend of Legaia met my 'Gain my interest in the first hour' with a wonderfully done prologue with the revivification of the Genesis Tree. One of the most effective elements of this game is how it shows you the effects of the Mist on the common people. Being possessed by the insane Seru is never shown to be anything but horrific and painful for the victims. I also enjoy that not all the story is explicitly stated, but rewards astute players with the early revelation that the Ra Seru are being used to create the Mist. What happened in Vidna is also foreshadowed by a civilian within the town who states the magma is what powers the windmills. Just lovely bits of writing like that, I think, helps make this game stand out. :D Conkram... God, that place. The environment went above and beyond the horrors of possessed existence by the Seru shown in every other city enveloped in Mist up until this moment. Supremely done, if you ask me. It's only going to get worse when Rim Elm is taken by the Juggernaut. Fun fact: If you visit Octam while your entire party is Level 99, you gain a new spell that enables the summoning of an evil Seru: Juggernaut itself. It's a massive grind that I've never undertaken, but it is a neat reward. Fabricated the Time Space Bombs, huh? I guess you enjoyed a certain game you streamed recently. ALSO YEAH! I love those role calls that you do! :D Anyways, a beautiful RECAPitation as always. I'm on my way to meet you on the next battlefield.

I'm currently playing it, in the beginning I was a bit sceptical but it's quite fun, the story is solid and the characters unique. I do love noa, with the seru named terra. Her reactions and ways of seeing life and the willingness to do good is heart striking.

Oh finally it's here! My very first RPG on the PS.

so nostalgic watching this video, its been 20+ years alr since I played this game..

This, is quality content. I remember first playing this at my friend's house in elementary school. Begged my mom to get me a PlayStation that Christmas and got this as my first game along with a purple mad catz memory card. Top tier game.

God, I love this game! It's the first RPG I've ever played. Such memories!

My favorite JRPG of ALL TIME! So good to see someone doing such an awesomely detailed video about it. I thank you.. from the bottom of my heart.. I thank you. Also check out my Legaia Let's Play if you want! A lot of people seem to like it. xD

This game needs a remaster.

Another amazing video! I'm always impressed on your dedication with making long and well researched videos Keep up the incredible work ^.^

Oh my god someone actually remembers this game. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

Man the nostalgia. They need to bring this back

Wow..I just started replaying this a few days ago I haven’t played this game since it released what are the odds

the most rewarding game I played so far. I still remember playing this for the first time and with a very good walkthrough from a friend that showed me the best way to play it with all the miracle arts and getting the final form of Meta, Tera and Ozma and getting all elemental summon well, except for juggernaut because it requires you to be level 99.

the first jrpg that i've played, i really love it like i will never forget it until i get old.

I had totally forgotten that Tieg was also Rem. Now everything makes much more sense! Thank you for this video!

This is wild! Great job man. My favorite RPG on the PS1. Funny enough, for as much as I played it, i completely forgot about the part that starts around 11:30 😂

I really love this channel, my childhood all in a single awesome channel 🥰😍😘

game of my childhood...made me cry.... and game that got me to play jrpgs in general

I always love the part where you cleanses a region of the mist and in turn revitalises the towns

to anyone reading this, you are unique, you are special. You are special and unique because you played this game. This game taught me many moral values throughout life. It also showed me that life can be a little bit more Grimm when you are nothing but kind-hearted and sweet. to anyone who has played this game, you are a blessing to this world and you would be my best friend. However, Nothing pisses me off more than when Mei ends up with ixis in the end. Pick the right responses throughout the game from Van to Mei, and she will choose to travel with you in the end.

Before watching: Thank you so much for doing this wonderful game, and yes, I do agree that ages mentioned in game do not fit at all.

I loved this game, bring back great memories.

loved playing this as a kid. frustrated the heck out of me how though the bosses are, but extremely fun!

Quite possibly my most favorite video game story of all time.

My game save on my Playstation's memory card was right before the last dungeon. But life happened and I never got to finish it. Thanks for the recap!

Man, I remember sitting on my bedroom floor playing this on a 13" CRT while listening to the first 2 Marvelous 3 albums. It's a very specific memory. Haha. Anyway, great game even if you end up using the same attack combos over and over towards the end. Thanks for the recap!

I loved this video I hope you do more underrated RPGs. Have you gotten any request for Alundra yet? That would be awesome if you did. Keep up the food work!

i love this game i like how your armor progressively change tru the game

Fantastic game, great music, good characters, and had a good, but hard time fighting each of the bosses after the 1st Mist Generator. Great video dude, wished we could take Songi's Ra-Seru!

I played this game so much as a kid and never was able to get further than brion monastary... this game ended up convoluted as all heck but I still love it

LOVED this game. Can’t believe you did this. So happy. The sequel wasn’t bad but wasn’t nearly as much fun for me.

At 8 years old this game did so much for my reading comprehension.I also really enjoyed Noa; particularly her interactions with the Delilah siblings.

Great video!

As soon as I saw it, thank you bro

Would love a remake and/or re-release of this one it was pretty cool.

Love this game, thanks for doing it. Any chance for the Shadow Hearts series?

What a blast from the past!

this game is my all time favorite RPG!
