This game has unique visual aesthetics, especially with architecture and some of the creature designs, that help it stand apart from other fantasy games. The story is rich in history, and the world building is excellent. This game expanded the idea of timed hits beyond the simplicity of games like Mario RPG. Sadly, this game has some unfinished concepts and some rigid design that set the player back in choosing a suitable party. All characters are defined almost exclusively by statistical extremes, with some characters holding glaring advantages over others. Everything can be mitigated with proper equipment, but some characters require a lot more effort to reach their potential. A number of magic spells have such low efficacy that you may as well ignore them, which is sad to see in a game that makes such a big deal about magic. While this game is praised for its addition system, some characters have lots of additions, while others have almost none. This hindrance shows us a game that clearly suffered from crunch time, a poor scope of the project, or both. Despite its mechanical downsides, there is a very user-friendly and challenging experience here. I encourage you to give the story a chance. The progression is extremely straightforward, and the player is always given exactly what they need to progress efficiently. The rest is determined by skill, and how much you enjoy the addition system. Some of the longer attack routines can make combat feel a little cumbersome, and I think the developers could have refined the game by spending more time refining their idea. Adding more isn't always bad, but experimenting with the functionality of your initial concept is always better.

The localisation is a little wonky and I don't think it would hold up if I played it for the first time in the 2020s but this game is close to my heart

This game stands as one of my favorite games off all time, and likely my favorite RPG ever. Solid unique combat, great soundtrack and a very interesting story set in a very crazy world makes this RPG stand the test of time.

The Legend of Dragoon is a hidden gem of a game that is definitely worth checking out. The story is well-written, following the journey of a group of characters as they battle against a powerful evil force threatening their world. The characters are well-developed and each one has their own unique personality, making it a joy to get to know them and see their arcs play out.

Not the best RPG on PSX but probably the hardest one to look at. Not even a CRT could save this one back in the day.

Good cult classic. I have a lot of nostalgia carrying me through. Basically the Dance Dance version of a Final Fantasy game. Turn based strategy with active combo input. Grinding can make the game overly easy, fortunately to make use of grinding, you have to do lots of it.
