Heck even a remake of this with some things cleaned up and polished and tweaked here and there. Would be great. As well as a prequel and a sequel. I wonder why they never jumped on that.
It would make total sense as the main story is about the dragoons being chosen by the dragon spirits to fulfill their purpose. To reassemble a new group of dragon knights and finish off what the original 7 started. Rose is the only one alive and one of the protagonists of this game so her being the main prot in the prequel would make so much sense! Imagine going back 11000 years in the LoD universe and visiting the wingly cities and battling with the original dragoons! 🥰
@@diegofonseca6708 and it is rose. Rose is the protagonist. Doesn't mean that dart is just cuz he's the hero. The story is about Rose and her "sad journey" as quoted by Shirley. Dart is just a guy saving his girl and doing the hero stuff.
I feel like there was supposed to be a lot of deep symbology in this fight, but nothing is really explained, so his forms are just... I mean I love how bizarre it is though. Really freaky designs!
Lol yeah I think the same. They left a lot of unanswered questions in this game. Didn’t bother explaining certain things. Like I feel they meant to explain but probably ran out of time on their project. And they probably meant to answer other questions on a prequel perhaps. Before making a sequel.
1st generation: is meant to represent The book of genesis in the Bible, it’s supposed to be the first day of when creation set with God saying let there be light. 2nd & 3rd generation: is when the energy from the world begins to make Soa landscape, the divine tree, and life itself. We then see the storm produce water which is the key essential to life and sustainability. The mountains move and form to make landscapes for all living things to have purpose in living on earth. 4th generation: (no living thing has been here yet, this is Gods fourth day of creation) This depicts the formation of stars and galaxies, as the world is fully formed, without life. The fourth day of Genesis once again sums up the generation quite well: "Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to distinguish between the day and the night."…. Notice this is the battle where frahma takes after a space ship like thing, where he has orbital stars and rotating spheres around him that can control the Night and Day, which plays a role in the boss fight 5th generation: the Divine Tree finally sprouts in this generation as the land becomes inhabited by flora and fauna, replete with life. Soa's plan starts to move fleetingly as more species start to thrive on the lush world. Per Genesis, day 5 depicts it as this "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." Sixth generation: shows events that take place as mankind inhabits the world, through photos of camaraderie, innovation, overcoming species of old (dragons), sorrow and death. This depicts the growth, the thriving and their end as the Virage Embryo is soon born. The sixth day is described by Genesis as being the day mankind was created: "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so." Seventh generation: The finishing of Soa's creation and plan, after which Soa finally went to rest, along with the rest of life. The environment shows a dark barren world ravaged by apparent destruction. All that remains of life now are their bones and skeletons piled up in mountains, making up the very ground itself. The once nourishing bodies of water forever replaced by oceans of blood and lava. It can be assumed that this what the world was destined to become had Soa's plan gone through without interruption, allowing the 108th species to be born. It’s basically the Bible lol
My biggest gripe is the water dragoon of the war is a teenager. She didn't trust anyone but rose and she is half mermaid. She is also opposite of meru. While Meru was more extroverted, but it was to hide who she was. The original water dragoon was an introvert and was also ashamed of who she was. So there is a race of mermaids in this world but we never met them to understand her. The older dragoons should of had a sequel game but we never got it. Also technically rose killed darts mom and people he lived and they kinda just glossed over it
@@BountyRogueCinemax It's been 11,000 years since the dragon campaign. The mermaids could be extinct for all we know. Winglies are near extinct themselves and barely surviving in exile, and they have insane magical powers that allow them to find from humans. Who knows how easy it is for mermaids to seclude themselves. Hell, if it is easy for them to seclude themselves makes perfect sense we never see one. The ocean, in the real world, has only had 5% of it explored. We know more about space and the stars than our own ocean.
I used Albert and Rose. I've done two playthroughs of LoD and used those characters damn near all the way through both runs. The first time was difficult, I'm surprised I beat Melbu at all. The second time I had no idea what I really did differently but Melbu was a little easier to fight.
One of the hardest challenges is using Albert and Kongol. Lol. Physical damage is top tier. But good lord. No healing and little utility. And Kongol just gets absolutely wrecked by any magical attacks.
Albert cannot handle Magic Attacks at all! I've noticed that in both playthroughs I've done. He takes some serious damage. I never used Kongol but I can imagine it's worse than Al.
I used Albert and Rose too on my first playthrough. I almost lost to his final form because I didn't know he had Dragoon Block. I panicked because all of them were in their Dragoon Form. And it got worse when Dart got taken over by that damn Shadow Monster. But some miracles, we were able to survive the onslaught with a small amount of HP left once they've reverted back from their Dragoon Forms.
I think I was over-prepared. Took Albert and Kongol. I never healed once in the fight. Everyone had legend armor, legend casque, ultimate wargod and max final addition. I was doing more damage in normal mode rather than in dragoon form except for Dart's divine magic. What a long fight... Got my platinum trophy.
I thought it looked more like flame shot. you can see a ball of fire hitting melbu. in final burst, the dragoon goes with the flow but in this scene you see that zieg was still far away from melbu.
She’s my waifu. When I was first introduced to her I couldn’t stop laughing. I was like who’s child is this what’s going on. She’s a lotta fun to use in battle, all you really need to do is fix her low Hp which can be done with an accessory
I more so interpreted as him going through the phases of how the humans evolved into what they are today to what they would become should he not intervene. Remember, we're in a giant moon that takes snippets from time. Hence the shop.
😂😂😂 WTF was that?! This game needs to be remade and cleaned up and polished up big time. As beautiful and great as it may be. It was a great game for its time but man some of the voice acting bits throughout were hilarious.
Definitely feels like they ran out of time with this last part of the game. Personally I wanna know why the shoulder on the sword arm grows into... Whatever that is when he goes to pick up Shana.
still to this date I want a sequel. Yea they finished this story up but they can create a new one how like FFx-2 did. Or a prequel/remake would be cool.
Yeah but the first time she truly spoke in the whole revelation scene with the whole “I am your father” shindig I was like “Why…ok earth is she talking like an ostrich haha”
GAWDDD This ending cinematic just hits differently. It’s like we defeated God now let’s fly the fuck outta here before we become part of the earth, like literally
He never did that to me either, though I never used my Dragoon forms while he was in his last phase, first time he did so he used the Dragon Block and nerfed my guys and got them killed. Next time I fought his last form as humans, thus he never summoned his underlings or used Dragon Block, which made the battle so much easier.
My go to crew was always Meru and Rose because of their magic capabilities and defense with maxed out additions. Geeze I miss this game so much. I have it in storage somewhere that needs to be dug up. Quick question, if I have the original 4-disk PS1 game...would it work on a PS5? Haven't played on a system in ages (mostly PC).
@@the13thjoker funny thing is I don’t know if they just recently did this but if you have a ps4 you can digitally purchase it for like ten bucks on the psn. I’m working non another RPG but I might break and get into this. This is my childhood and by GOD Square Enix really doesn’t wanna give this game any recognition whatsoever. I mean at least hook us up with a remaster, like not even a remake just give it a touch up that it needs cuz well this game has NOT aged well lullllllz
Ok. So. This battle I remember playing it as a kid (9years old) and would literally not turn off the ps2 cause sometimes I'd be there for 3+ hours trying to fight. But i have so many questions. Wtf do the generations mean? Till this day i still dont know but from the imagery and symbolism it sorta represents like the evolution of life from birth to end. In a way it kind of reminds me of the seven days of creation from the bible in Genesis... idk if it's got anything religious to do with it but 7 generations and 7 days idk. What do his different forms represent cause that 2nd and 3rd form are just wild! And i dont remember him having so many unique abilities haha
i know this is old, but in case you still haven't figured it out, the generations are the stages in which soa created the universe/world. and the last generation is what the world would've looked like had the winglies not interrupted soa's plan, and the 108th species was successfully born
How come whenever the final boss fight references the Creation Myth of the Bible, why does Melbu Frahma change forms? I mean he’s a giant tumor in the second part, a giant space ship in the third part and a giant floating horseshoe crab in the fourth part.
I made it untill the ending then the boss did the music note attack which infected 2 chars. The bosses plus my characters then killed of my only non infected char and from then on they kept hitting eachother untill death. Most bs attack ive ever seen. Got him the second try just go all the way back buy max potions mp etc. Nice game tho. Love oldskool.
Probably armor of legend of legendary casque. They bug the hell out of your evasion and give a huge buff to defense. Pair them with phantom shield and you're basically unstoppable
