I'd love to see some companies remake the PS1 era JRPGs. Like don't remake them and modernize them. Redo the graphics, give us better load times and some maybe few minor modern improvements. And that's it. LoD is one that I would gladly pay to get again with better visuals.
@@paiprguy So basically....bluepoint games who worked on shadow of the colossus, demons souls remake, hinted to be working on metal gear solid 1 remake, and they hinted that they're interested in legend of dragoon aswell.
If I'm honest, it kinda would need a remake The translation was kind of atrocious It also kinda felt like they rushed the story a little in Disk 4, and just did everything they could to patch all the unresolved plot holes on the Moon Also, I feel like the battle system could use some improvements, mainly giving the player access to all of their Additions in battle, instead of just one, and removing the MP system, instead having each spell consume Spirit bars. And maybe refresh the menus a little, the equipment menu was kind of a mess.
If anybody but me is the creative director, i promise they'll fuck it up. So imagine, LoD Remake comes out. It could be either a completely new game with new gameplay and story elements. It could be an HD update to the original. Sony isnt gonna want to do both. And the old fans wont like a new game. New fans wont like the old gameplay even with modern graphics. So what should be done? Simple. Treat it like Halo CE Anniversary, where you can press select to change the graphics on the fly. The difference between Halo Anniversary and LoD R, is that LoD would have 3 settings versus Halo's 2. LoD would have the OG game. You press select and the graphics change to UHD PS5 graphics, but with the original game's systems intact. Press select once more and it updates to a modern ARPG with side quests, a semi open world, and extra story elements and narrative details. Press select once more and you're playing the OG game again. Sure you could miss out on various aspects of the ARPG version's story or world etc by switching too often/for too long. But that would just add to the replayability. Now how would we fit essentially 3 games into this 1 package? Why not just make the modern ARPG version? Why not just the HD remastered version? Well.... what we'll do is release this game on 4 discs, with the same original disc art, that end in the same spots as the originals. That'll hit the nostalgia factor right on the nail. And with such quality content we could sell it for an even $100US. This is the only way to not fuck it up for the fans (old or new), and still get Sony's approval/prevent their corporate meddling.
This game went from giving me joy as a child, to sorrow and grief after finishing it, the sorrow and grief is because it's such a unforgettable experience and will always be attached to my childhood.
This game could have made HUGE, capitalized on both a Prequel feat the dragon campaign, as rose as the main, since the audience is familiar with her. And a sequel, as we all want the original characters with maybe Loyd as a new character…possible for the first time not having to use dart as a main 🤭
I can 100% confirm using the glitch to retain stats and spirits will prevent progress in disc 2 because Albert keeps telling you to open the dam but the gate is shut. You can't open the gate without talking to the guy on the roof nearby and Albert refuses to allow you to pass. Progress blocked.
whaaaaa? how though, make a video? i never even heard of this glitch for a game+ but even without the blocked progress, a hell of a lot of good it will do when enemies have like 3 hp and you deal like 1200 damage, also most bosses from disk 1-2 probably be KOed with a single final addition
About that, I did on my first play through. Of course, I suffered a lot of fails and then did a lot of grinding for levels, but it did teach me how to beat all the pots and most of the birds.
I think you overestimate kickstarter or underestimate the cost to make a modern graphics RPG. If I had an extra $50 million to throw around though, I would definitely try bringing back a remake and prequel.
@@ZanderX10 LIES! LIES! BRING BACK THE POWER OF THE DRAGOON! DO IT! DO IT AND DO IT NOW! they're trying to kingdom hearts 3 this fucking thing, but they never even made any backstory convoluted other system game's yet, they are totally KH3ing this shit, fucking ass, lols, i still haven't played KH3 yet though XD
@@ZanderX10 You underestimate the amount of money a writer and graphics designer will demand, while putting forth shoddy work. I recognize that some companies make decent games while Crunching their staff so badly, they turn their office into a revolving door of interns who can barely handle 1/4th the work load. That said, Toby Fox made a whole functional game, with multiple endings, basically by himself.... It can be done. stop making excuses for those idiots.
And then the story would be absolute shit. What would threaten the world? If there there ever was a sequel, the final boss would be very predictably Soa himself. That's boring because we already know.
This was my most played game next to the Final Fantasy series I grew up with. As a kid and being exposed to FF first, I never realised Angel's Prayer was a resurrection item because I associated resurrection items with Phoenix downs. So as kid I beat the game without ever reviving my characters and when I came back to the game as a teen and actually read the descriptions of the in-game items I was like, "Son of a bitch.... Angel's Prayer is a resurrection item"? Needless to say, that made the game substantially easier. Lol
Ahh LOD... one of my all time favs. So much so I bought that manga and it’s apart of my manga collection. Rose, Dart, and Meru were always on my team, what about everyone else?
Great vid! Proud to say I knew most of these already but a few in there that were definitely new! The original sword still being present in the DD transformation blew my mind, as if I never caught that!
Great seeing Know the facts back with such a great game! That's lame excuse to cancel a boss fight (the impossible one). Just tone it down to 50% health regeneration or something, don't cancel it outright!
would you become homeless and sell your organs and genitals for it? would you...........would you cut off............YOUR HANDS!???? this game does need all three of those though, so please do so i can experience it
alright, not only does she totally have the hots for Darts Father, but much more importantly this game had a totally different approach to love interests, did you not notice in the second disk Dart actually friendzoned Shana? how fucking often does that happen in a game? THE GUY, FRIENDZONED, HER! he said he thinks of her as a sister, probably wanted to tap Meru's ass, she's a freakin wingly, who the hell wouldn't want flying offspring?
@@blockhasher7957 I realize this is 2 years ago and I'm Hella late but, dart literally kisses Shana at the end of disc 2 as well as stating he doesn't think of her as his sister when Shana pronounces her love for him. Sadly though there's not really much more of their relationship after this since maybe 1-2 hrs later she loses her dragoon and later kidnapped.
If we saw a remake for this game I would love a hard mode to include the original difficulty but I would also make sure the strength of the Dragoon form was always stronger than any attack. Having the best additions outmatch the Dragoon transformation is kind of counter-productive. Still though this game was so good from beginning to end and would love a remake or prequel or sequel. Oh heck all three please.
it's true, but by the time you get the most powerful addition it's the games reward for you performing those additions all 80 times, which takes almost the whole game to get those final additions to 80, which appropriately and very well calculatedly makes you perfectly prepared to kick the final bosses ass, but those additions are challenging to pull off and you're natural human abilitys seem to transcend even that of dragons, or dragoons, so you get to use items and still do more damage, not that it's needed, i actually beat the game the first time with only using the first addition because i didn't care for or understand the addition system, as i skipped the tutorial, which probably made the game much, much harder at times
Checking the internet for new legend of dragoon news became an annual tradition for me Immediately after beating this game. Honestly think a dragon campaign prequel was a no brainer.
Hey look closely at 3:20. There are other sprites being reused that you missed. For example there is Atlow, Greham (in the center) and the bald guy near Greham is the same bald guy you encounter in Imperial Capital Kazas, the guy that wants to be recruited for the army, but then his brother comes up and this bald guy changes idea. Overall this are all great! :)
I loved this game. It actually holds up well for the test of time even graphically for the time it came out. An Earth shaker of an RPG for anybody that discovers it. 3 best of all time for me are Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, and The Legend of Dragoon.
This was the first video game I remember playing. Saying that it got me into just video games is an understatement though. This game got me interested into video games, which then got me interested into computers, then into video/audio. Now I'm doing video editing work. Without this game I could easily be a completely different person than I am today.
If I remember correctly I believe a large portion if not all the development staff would actually move on to make Shadow Hearts. And they were on record for saying gameplay wise it's a "sequel" to LoD.
I wish I would've put my effort into the game when I bought it back in the day. I was a kid and didn't know the true value of RPG games and I never played them correctly, so I just let a friend of mine have the game.
Here's a good fact: (PAL gamer here) Some game copys seemed to have a glitch/error which prevented you from progressing further. But the glitch only occured in 3 boss fights - and only if you transformed into dragoon form. The solution was easy, if you had a og PS1 you just opened the lid (with the eject button) and closed it back, then the game continued. The problem became 'awesome' (...because challenging) if you only had a PS2 ! The trick didn't work anymore since it restarts your console, once you hit the eject button. So your only way to progress was to beat all the 3 (hardest) boss fights in human form without transforming! This was a lot of fun and really challenging. That's why i keep my glitchy version of the game, and don't keep looking for a fixed, later release ;-) A really memorable game. Great memories.
My favorite towns were Basil and twin towers , I loved hanging out there, as a child and even now I would imagine living in those towns , having a awesome life , going to the shops or bazaars , roaming the city Streets at night ohh so much excitement and fun , this was the magic of this game you can fully immerse yourself in it.
This is one of my absolute FAVORITE games EVER!!! I actually knew about most of the things you talked about but not all of them. Hehe. I'd love to see a sequel that has a limited edition version that comes with part 1 on the disc, a full color character art book, a sound track for both 1&2, a metal box and maybe an in game item or two for pre-odering it. Maybe even a statue of Dart too. I'd easily pay $100-$200 for that! It could be the Fan Appreciation Bundle!! OOOORRRR, could you imagine if they made it an offline/online game like White Knight Chronicles and you could make your own dragoon and get your own dragon with full customization where you can join clans and wage massive wars against each other or team up and do missions in and out of the story 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Sorry to be the necromancer commenting a year after, but I have something you might find interesting for Rose's demon gate. Obviously they censored for the western release, but while the red IS blood, its not from where you may think. The original idea was that Rose stabs herself to open the gate, they just couldnt fully put the scene in.
My favorite JRPG of all time. Great video, about half of this stuff was new to me! I still hope that someday, somehow, we'll get our Dragoon sequel. Or prequel. Or remake. I'll take any of the 3.
honestly wish this was on steam so we could have upscaling mods it be dope to have the upscaled textures, players and npcs i miss this game i beat it so many times when i was a kid
My catalogue of games (most of them already completed) makes me cry every time. This game is no diferent, just to remember the awesome games of my youth... no DLC, no pay to win....
The idea of a sequel brings me joy but I think the game is a masterpiece in its own right. It does need a remaster on current gen tho the graphics looking at it now are aweful lol except the cutscenes those were mindblowing back in the day.
Shuhei Yoshida stepped down as sony interactive president last year im guessing along with the hope of a legend of dragoon remake maybe Tetsuya Nomura might take the mantle if were lucky after they've finished with final fantasy
If I ever win the lottery or fall upon a wealth of money, you guys better believe I'll buy the rights for this game from Sony, remake it staying true to the canon story and game play premise, and then make a Dragon Campaign prequel. This is my favorite game of all time, and 23 years later I still feel the same.
A masterpiece... one of my favorite games of all time... a good remake would be nice... but leave it the way it is, just new graphics and fix some of the problems or mistakes... oh and plz don't make it easy to beat, cuz nowadays that's what they make with the remakes make them very easy, and an easy jrpg is the worst...😁
There have been fan petitions for a remake or a sequel but I feel like it just doesn't have enough demand that Sony will authorize the funding to develop it.
One thing the video missed is the final boss music is bugged. Each time you push him to another phase it's supposed to go to the next part of the track(like Dancing Mad in FF6). Unfortunately it just loops the first phase's music for the entire battle. I don't know if the full non-bugged version exists somewhere.
I would pay literally a thousand dollars for a remake, sequel or prequel. If it ever does get released, I'll buy it for $60 and give $940 to the first person that tries to call my bluff.
When talking about the warriors of furni you missed touching on the fact that in addition to the sprites from the tournament and drake. Greham was there as well.
They made the Rose spell be weird by changing the camera angle. She stabs herself with the sword, that is where the blood comes from. For some reason the did not want to show that and we got the "per*** gate" instead.
