Game Review:: The Legend of Dragoon

Reviewed by,

Yeah, I know, this is an old game. So, what? It is one of my favorite games.

     The Legend was born 10,000 years ago...and began with the Divine Tree. Nothing could compare to its mystical powers. It is said that this massive, yet graceful entity gave birth to all living things. One after another, races of plants, animals and unique beings fell from its branches and life spilled forth over the land.
     The 105th race born of the Tree was the powerful Dragons. These towering winged destroyers would strike terror into anyone who beheld them. In time, their Dragon Spirit would be revered and worshipped.
     The 106th race was the Human race. These peaceful beings lived a quiet agrarian existence in harmony with the world.
     The 107th race was the formidable Winglies. These flying conquerors set out to build great floating cities and gain dominion over all living things. In time, their aggression enslaved the Human race with little resistance.
     The spirit of the Divine Tree coursed through all its offspring. The races took their places on earth, filling the desolation with lushness and activity.
     But the beauty of the tree could not hide an ugly blemish in the land of floating cities. The Winglies reigns supreme. The humans were enslaved. Divided by hatred, a battle for freedom would ensue. Both thought their very survival depended on victory over the other. According to legend, the Humans enlisted the help of the Dragons. Drawing on magical forces, the Humans became Dragoon warriors harnessing the savage power and soul of the Dragons. Dragoons were supernatural warriors who attacked with fierce combat skills and deadly magic. They overpowered the Winglies in a bloody confrontation. The humans prevailed. And they learned to co-exist in peaceful harmony. But beneath the tranquility, lurks a mysterious prophecy. Love. Revenge. Death and destruction. A Black Monster. The emergence of another race. No one knows what its presence will bring. Eternal peace and happiness for all? Or the darkest evil imaginable?

The past and the future are about to collide.
Behold your destiny...

For a PS1 game, this game has an excellent story and great characters to go along with it. This game may not be as good as Final Fantasy 7, but it deserves a place on every RPG gamer's bookshelf! I give it two thumbs up!
