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.
You have very valid nitpicks. Glad you got to play this one though.
It really has a heavy Nostalgia hold on me.
Coulda sworn Gala was 18. Oddly, Gala was the mage for me; if I recall correctly, he has the highest intelligence/wisdom. But yeah, it's interesting how they break tropes in that sense. Noa is a beast.
Don't forget the ability to tame Seru to fight for you.
Please do the recapitation of legend of heroes trails of cold steel
I think I requested this, thx alot
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
Anyone else remember getting hooked on this game after playing the demo that I think came in a PlayStation Magazine or something?
I mom did. She loved it!
@@gjtrue It's the reason I ended buying it. Awesome game and was looking for a new PlayStation jrpg after FFVII.
yeah that's how I got it.
Hell yeah I played that demo for hours! Lol
PlayStation Underground. I'm getting old...
I loved this game as a kid I hope one day it gets an HD remaster
That would be awesome. I doubt it will happen though because even the original wasn't very well known. How about that FF7 Remake though? Im SO excited for that.
i agree with mazda, prokion already dead. if ever someone make remaster/remake of this game. i bet someone from prokion/ someone related to them gonna sue the maker (yeah it's all money again).
@itissillygucci I feel you but I would just like to see it on a modern system
@@dtownhammer They did make a second game with better graphics. Nowhere near what it is today but still.
Me too. Altough even a port would already make me happy as fuck.
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.
Im the same. My first game ever. I remember being so scared by those boxy enemies. Hahaha
@@Pichipieify Mei was so HOT haha crazy how real this looked when I was little. I guess the imagination of a kid is pretty powerful.
It was my first-ever video game.
It wasn't my first video game as I had a desktop computer before I owned a Playstation. (Windows 95, anybody ? ... Original doom ? ... No ? ) It was one of the first titles I bought when I got my console, though. I absolutely loved it. I think its relative lack of popularity is due to timing. FF7 was out too and probably overshadowed it because the FF series was already well established and had an incredible fan base, so most people bought it first. I was able to replay it a couple of times before my Playstation died, and then once more on my computer with an emulator. It would be really fun if Steam or GOG picked it up and re-released it. Would definitely buy it again.
My first JRGP I played from start to finish.
I audibly gasped when seeing this.
You ain't the only one, friend.
I did too!
Same, high pitched squeal mighta been included, too.
all four of you are now my friends because ALSO ME.
Same!!!
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.
Same here, I played this so much till I found final fantasy. Bought this game 4 times cuz it would always get stolen by a friend lol
@@Foul_Evol funny you should say that because that ALSO happened to me? we needed better friends back in the day. haha.
Same here bro!
It and legand of dragoon
Far from the best JRPG
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!
Very cool!
The damage Noa dealt was pretty average until she got her miracle arts. Her bird step attack was absolutely killer and the one I relied on the most. Her high agility made her meter fill faster so she could use it more often, too. Vaughn and Gala's miracle arts seemed lackluster by comparison, and I usually stuck to their higher end attacks or strung a couple of their mid tier attacks into a combo of sorts. Loved this game.
"Vahn, what's a pimp?" - Noa.
An HD remake of this game needs to happen.
This is one of my favorite rpgs on the ps1
Heck yeah. It is still own of my favorite games of all time.
I'm so happy my favorite game of all time is getting the recognition. It deserves.
The sequel is good, try it out
I didnt know there was a sequel! Sweet!
Jordan Stewart yea it was on PS2. It’s a sequel in name and combat system only as midway during development the OG team left so another team picked it up to finish and changed to story around so it wasn’t linked to the previous game. It’s called Legaia 2 Duel Saga it’s still really good.
That sequel was beyond TRASH lol.. only cool thing was that female character weaving Naruto signs
@@nike9009 Is not that bad.. It just lacks a little in the story area but the gameplay is still pretty solid
Confession time... I prefer the combat of Legaia 2 over Legaia 1.
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.
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.
And with moderate amount of detail too. Some of Noah's outfits had wicked calligraphy
Always nice to see Legend of Legaia get the attention it deserves. Nice recap video.
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. 😍😎
The delilah siblings was such a unique fight -- I don't recall anything like it in recent games. Miss this game.
Literally playing this rn, never realized how Gaza was the magic user and Noah is the physical fighter when I was a kid
If you mean Gala, he will surpass the other two heroes in pretty much everything at higher levels
Nah Noah is always the fastest and her unlocks miracle arts first
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!
I found a copy at a flea market. Became one of my favorite games. I still play it from time to time.
I love this game so much. Very close to being my favorite game ever!
I've never played this game, and despite playing a lot of jrpgs, this plot seems so convoluted my head is spinning
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So many memories and nostalgia from this game. Thank you for your hard work 😍😍😍
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..
The internet was a thing back then. I remember looking up the arts on Gamefaqs quite clearly
@@etherealessence not in my country.. in 2000 only rich people can access to the internet..
@@gyrenrockz fair point
Thank you so much for shading some light to this wonderful game that brings back so many memories!
Quality content as always!
The beginning part reminded me so much to Attack on Titan. It's a really cool story, I always enjoy these recapitations.
I've always said this
Definitely one of the more unique stories i've played when i was younger. Thanks for covering it
Gala isn't 21, he's 18.
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!
This game is severally underrated.
One of my absolute favorite games growing up. Thank you for the stellar recap.
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.
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!
A Golden Sun series recapitation would be fantastic
Majuular just did one for Golden Sun 1.
Oh my god you are forever my friend for this. I have been fantasizing for years for them to remake this very underrated rpg
I'd buy a remake of this masterpiece. Hope they don't mess up the music though
Same!! I'm still playing through the game, but I've know about it for a few years. It's SUCH a great RPG, it shouldn't be as underrated as it is.
@@TurtleBug8643 if they do all i ask is for xbox port
Trails/Trials of Cold Steel RECAPitation?
I did the same thing
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.
There is a 2 but its not the same universe, same battle system, different magic and gameplay.
Yes, unfortunately, the second part followed the trends and did what every other JRPG was doing. It really didn't stand out. Wasted potential, in my opinion.
It's amazing how the Ra-Seru take care of the protags like they are their own kids
This game needs a remaster.
Legend of dragoon too... That was an awesome game, very much of the time though.
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!
Cyndril89 does a good let's play of this game. Incase your into those =)
Switching between this and Legend of Dragoon made a bitchin childhood as a gamer.
I finally found the game I was looking for since I was a kid. Thank you random youtube recommendation
My first JRPG. Truly a masterpiece. I really wish we’d get a remake/remaster of this and Legaia 2
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
One of the first few games i enjoyed when i got my playstation back 20 years ago... 20 years.. Damn i'm old..!!
so nostalgic watching this video, its been 20+ years alr since I played this game..
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.
I always love the part where you cleanses a region of the mist and in turn revitalises the towns
That was a nice hidden gem, I'm glad I played it back then.
Wow..I just started replaying this a few days ago I haven’t played this game since it released what are the odds
Same here! I started playing it the same day as the video post
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
the first jrpg that i've played, i really love it like i will never forget it until i get old.
One of the few JRPGS where you have no useless party members.
That is true when you think about it
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.
Oh my god someone actually remembers this game. Definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
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
3:51 “before he can answer”
Lmao gotta love silent protagonists
this was during the golden age of JRPG... gosh i missed this era
game of my childhood...made me cry.... and game that got me to play jrpgs in general
I cannot tell you how happy I am seeing you posting this.
Would love a remake and/or re-release of this one it was pretty cool.
TORNADO FLAME !!!!
god i love this has a kid this and Star ocean second story are my first game i played like crazy
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.
After watching: Thank you, great game. You are awesome Oni. I still have the ps1 disk for this.
I watched this since I suddenly remembered this game and had forgotten what the motivations of the villains was. Turns out it was complicated enough that my teenage self probably didn't understand it anyway. Anyway thanks to this video I can move on with my life.
Man the nostalgia. They need to bring this back
The demo that was put out for the game was just the first city but they changed it by adding the two other party members to the village allowing the player to use all 3. They also break the 4th wall a few times.
Where did the demo come out at? Ps magazine?
@@MikeVideos327 I still have it, it's a Toys R Us demo disc. Has a comicbook dot style woman's face on the front screaming "Attack Of The Killer Demos!". Don't know if this helps but the disk has "SCUS-94397" and "PSRM-013720" on it.
Edit: Also, thanks to your asking, I now know where my copy of Riven is.
This game is one of the best top 10 best jrpg of psx era, tbe story,gameplay,music was way ahead of the time
This game is MY CHILDHOOD. Such ambition to it.. such life this game has. A remake wouldn't hold up to the original we just need a remaster.
This was amazing! Hoping for a Duel Saga next!
Guess I'll finish this game again for the 13th time.
This is honestly one of the most underrated PS1 games ever.
So many memories playing this game with my brother :)
Imagine if they remade this via kickstarter or something similar. I'll back this up in a heart beat.
Follow a lite version of what theyre doing with ff7 make it beautiful and flesh out the established locations. I'd very much like to see a semi-deserted drake kingdom outside of drake castle. Instead of just a hunting ground and rim elm.
I had totally forgotten that Tieg was also Rem. Now everything makes much more sense! Thank you for this video!
who is Tieg?
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!
This game deserves a remaster or a sequel deserving of the name.
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.
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.
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!
This was hands down my favorite game on ps1! Thank you for covering it
Absolutely love that you covered this. Fantastic, unique rpg that not enough people know about.
i love this game
i like how your armor progressively change tru the game
This game is darker than I remember! Also thanks for covering this! It’s been AGES
Best part of this game was its completeness. Everyone of the heros had a fully fleshed out story. I cannot think of any lose ends.
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.
I haven’t finish the game itself, but I so want to see this get a kickstarter of having the game be remastered to HD level.
While I loved many games of this era, FF7, FFT, Metal Gear, so many others, Legend of Legaia has always held a strong place in my memory, especially that moment when we find out the seru vlillage is just gone and all the people are lost, such a deeply painful moment. Would love to see this game rereleased in a similar way to how Saga Frontier recently was, something that just bring it improved graphics and a few new features, not changing things, unlike FF7 not actually remake alternate timeline.
This game and the legend of dragoon, best games ever made, and very under-rated, the stories are amazing, the artwork, the music, the idea of it, the specialized battle systems, sure your literally going back and forth but there's just something nice about it, and there's more input for/during attacks than other games, I wanna see these 2 games updated but keep battle systems and pretty much everything these games are, I just wanna see the art come to life
This is one of my first JRPG games 18 years and played it non-stop memorizing all the routes for optimal run without stopping to grind... Heck I can still input all the super-arts and Miracle Arts.. Such a shame that the sequel didn't do well..
This is such a fantastic game and one of the few I think is 100% deserving of a modern remaster. I love it so much.
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!
Quite possibly my most favorite video game story of all time.
Awesome video! This is one of the only games i finished as a kid.
Oh finally it's here! My very first RPG on the PS.
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
You can lock you progress if you accidentally sell a key item that you need in Sol Tower and you can't finish the game without it 😭 I had to restart the whole game because of this one time 😂😂
Thanks for this! Recently played through the game again! This game has been my childhood favorite!
Whoa your back thanks for this retrospective enjoyed it
Not gonna lie. I've seen this video like 10 times already.
