Hope he makes more documentaries about other classic games like Dot Hack IMOQ - these titles really deserve remasters, remakes, or at least digital ports on new gaming devices.
I absolutely love this game. Rose was my usual go-to party member with Kongal as the other. Her story is tragic, yet instrumental to the game. I would've loved to see a return of the world of Endiness and maybe see a new generation of Dragoons be born. Maybe take on Soa (the god who created the Divine Tree) in a bid for survival. As it stands, Rose's dragoon spirit is the only one to have never changed hosts, so another plot point would've been finding a worthy successor to her stone.
It is. It's a very deep and long game. It's clear that it was very carefully made. It's just hard to understand it all in context. Also, there are so many spelling errors in the game which I wonder why they would be so careless about.
Yeah i always wondered how they would attempt a sequel as the story is so wrapped up. I think making Soa the creator come in personally to try create the 108 seed is an decent option.
@nateblanche2551 and I just learned that the 108 people concept is from Japanese lore, which doesn't surprise me that they use the same concept for Suikoden.
I swear man, you voice and narration are PERFECT for fantasy like and all the alike sotries legacy of kain elder ring medievil it's just a gift from youtube algorithm
*SIGHS* and yet again another masterpiece that DIDN'T appear in my subs feed thanks for making this SF! I'm so happy that everyone is seeing just how good this games story and characters are
If she just point on the target, So is reasonable. But the way she done at Neet not understandable. She seem fine to kill everyone not just the target MoonChild. I dont like this, It was an excessive, over her duty and unprofessional.
@Locke9611 The people who witnessed the Moon Child were "hypnotized" by them. It was explained in the video - if the people lived they would work to ensure the next Moon Child would not be killed. Rose was living an eternal tradgedy.
This game was so amazing. Rose is still my favourite character in gaming. I resonated with her loner persona and that feeling of loneliness that I could only imagine as you touched on in her story. I also love how she's right at the beginning of the game journey and stays mysterious for so long, even as you get insights to her inner thoughts and feelings and she always seems to know more than we can even think of. She ends up being one of the most crucial characters to the entire story and it unfurls so naturally. Also loved her Dragoon elements and character design. I had never encountered anything like this game before I played it, and I had never encountered a character of her depth and resonance in gaming before that point either, all while tying the story and overall experience together in so many ways. So awesome, great vid!
I love this game, and Rose was my favorite character. Glad to see you covering this in depth. With how well you've done with the Legacy of Kain series, I expect some great deep dives.
I would personally like to thank you for your time & passion spent making a great prologue to my Favorite Character from one of my favorite stories!!!!❤❤❤❤
As always thanks for such amazing and wholesome content. You never disappoint. Rose backstory was tragic but at the end she found peace and the man she loved.....
@@strictlyfantasyhe's my favorite character. Please tell me did the video. Gonna go raid your uploads. Just found you for the first time today, like five minutes ago.
I certainly wasn't expecting a lore video of The Legend of Dragoon. There's a LOT you can do videos on. Like the plot holes I'm aware of. For example, why was Shana and her late twin Louvia on that royal ship out at sea to begin with in another city anyway? Why was Queen Theresa not present with her daughter on this voyage? Who and where was the king, their father? Regarding the latter, the only hint we possibly get is the *crowned* skull of a victim onboard the Ghost Ship in a cutscene. 👑 FUN FACT @8:30 for ya: That is the voice of late actor Tony Todd (Candyman) you hear in these scenes as Minister Noish and Librarian Ute. Also I never noticed during that cutscene of Zieg fight Melbu Frahma, that his Dragoon Spirit was vanishing and reverted back to his normal attire. Couldn't really tell with the original PS1 quality. And as for you theorizing Claire Feld possibly being slayed by a Melbu-possessed Zieg would is very interesting. Would be a VERY dark and tragic moment. I never even considered that possibility. I, like many others, just assumed she died from Rose's assault on Neet but that's certainly a sinister likelihood. And also, there's just something very haunting about Melbu Frahma and his Winglies even desiring to control souls and their fate upon death. I'd love to see the machinations, politics, and division of Melbu's faction of Winglies and those among his sister Charle Frahma who were disgusted by his actions. Same for Rose's mindset during her awful task and living for over 11,000 years. As well as being the only survivor of the original known Dragoons.
I believe Princess Louvia and Shana were separated at birth; twins in Mille Seseau were considered an ill omen, so those attending the royal birth separated them and sent Shana away. Queen Theresa wasn't even aware she'd given birth to twins. I can't remember WHERE I found this lore, so don't take it as 100% truth. If I find where I discovered it I'll post an edit.
It's possible the king was there, which was the skull on the ship with the crown. The Queen didn't know she had twins and as stated above, were a ill omen, also it's natural to separate royal twins, so they don't both try to get rid of the other for the throne. The death of princess louvia was also what inspired Queen Theresa to create the sacred sisters, a way of coping with the loss of her only child[that she knew of] Edit: should mention that, if the royal family and knights knew Louvia was the moon child, anyone with two brain cells would know the black monster was on their way, and the best bet, is too keep the queen away from her daughter, to avoid her being slain as well
I remember playing this game when I was 14 and watching this an I'm 34 brings back memories not only that listening to you talk and explain about the black monster and the moon child is great love your video keep it up❤❤
I love your work. Your video essays are real gems. Thank you for your analysis, it's great to revisit this game and I'm so happy your channel found me 🫶🏽 God bless ya 🕊✨️
It's a common tactic in JP storytelling to have the player/audience character not be the story's main character. Dart is the player character but the story itself revolves entirely around Rose. She is even the first character we see in-game. Without her, we have no story and we have no Dart.
I would love to see a remaster. Game mechanics, controls, and story unmolested, but given a major facelift. It would sell hundreds of millions of copies I bet.
I don't know why these videos were suddenly recommended to me, but damn if these weren't a blast from the past. I'd actually almost completely forogtten a good chunk of this game's lore.
Rose's choice too take on a task that is kind of awful, was an inspiring part of my childhood. Someone had too do it. And even when the world turned on her, she kept going. It's something I think about a lot when I'm making decisions. Having willingly made choices too do things that most people wont or refuse, because of the toll it would take. Obviously its not as serious as in the game, but it's still formed a part of myself that I dont think will ever leave me.
Unlike The Legacy of Kain and Medievil, both series that i played to death back in ps1 and 2. The Legend of the Dragoon is something that i regretfully never heard off. I liked the first video as well as this one and I'm looking forward to more, i will try out the game for myself of course when i found the time. I really like it's FF-esque atmosphere I'm getting. Plus, Rose is hot, she certainly dragoons my dragon hehe.
I wonder if the other 107 moon children were either humans, gigantos, Winglies, minatos, merfolk, dark elves, gnomes, goblins, orcs, trolls and the other species born from the Divine Tree. Oh and if Rose didn’t sacrifice herself to slay Melbu Frahma, she could have married Zieg and been Dart’s step mom
@@gjtrue I think the reason why the God of Destruction didn't use the Winglies as it's host is because the Winglies were the ones who separated it's soul and flesh in the first place. Why would the God of Destruction not want a Gigantos or Minatos as its host? Also, I want to know if Rose has been east of Endiness if a Moon Child is born in one of the countries in the Far East. Or she's been slaughtering every Moon Children in just the Kingdom of Tiberoa, the Kingdom of Basil, the Empire of Sandora, the City State of Funri, the City State of Lohan, the Rouge Tribe within Endiness?
@@samflood5631Since Dragoons can fly so fast from the cutscenes, Rose probably traveled like a vagabond listening for rumors when the time was close. The Super Virage can manipulate whole towns so talk would travel like light,then she's x'ing everybody in that city to be safe.
@@samflood5631 No. The Super Virage "Is" the moon that never sets. All the virage that come out of it are the versions winglies created by the thousands, still weaker than dragons btw. The soul(moon child) forces anyone around it to protect it until it can go back to its body, The moon that never sets. We now know it would take Melbu instead of Shana as its soul in the end to make the abomination.
no, dart was inlove with shana, but she had a nack for geting in truble constantly 😂 lol so he would travel to ends of world to save her from peril thats why dart did it
Something I often ponder is what was planned for next? If this game was meant to compete with Final Fantasy, a multi-game saga, then what were the sequels lore going to contain? How are they set up in this game? This game's lore is surprisingly self-contained.
What Rose went through in her long extended life, gotta say the pain is unfathomable and she was pretty much an invincible killing machine. If Zieg wasn't possessed by Melbu and saw what Rose had become, oh boy.
I'd never really though about exactly how Claire died, it actually makes a lot more sense that Melbu posessed Zieg killed her and not Rose. You see, I have to imagine that Claire and Zieg came to know each other because of their respective talents in battle. So its most logical that Claire would have sought Zieg to team up with him to defeat the Black Monster. However, upon finding Zieg possessed by Melbu, he likely would have just killed Claire so he could go about his business. This is now my headcanon.
Dart: "We are here to ask you about the Moon That Never Sets." Fester: "Oh! About the Moon That Never Sets! Wait here for a minute. Let me get some materials. You are interested in a weird matter. Of course, I cannot make judgements about other people. Please take a look at this. In astronomy, a Moon That Never Sets cannot exist." Dart: "Cannot exist?" Fester: "That's right. Stars travel the sky by catching the winds of time. But, this moon is not affected by time. It never moves, day or night. That's why it's called the Moon That Never Sets. After counting 108 years, when the Moon That Never Sets glows red, a moon child descends upon the earth to fill the world with holy bliss. A poem of war, telling the fate given by the Moon. However, what we really get is the spawning of destruction and fear, that is the Black Monster.
Miranda’s “favorite” party member and her name being a painful reminder of her own past. Rose is indeed one of my favorites from LOD and well developed. Rose literally had killed every incarnation of the moon child 101 times. That’s a lot of baby killing including the people influenced by the moon child. 😰
I infer as well that the main reason she took on the job was because she and her friends fought so hard for a better future but she found out that there was a fate worse than being wiped out by the winglies.
I think that rose meeting dart was a turning point in her life. all she had done was kill and kill. he showed her a different path that would absolve her of her duties. I wish the game ended a little differently though.
LOD is one of the best games of all time. Roses black gate, or whatever It's called where she literally goes into a menstrual cycle to suck all the enemies into a void of darkness, which is hilarious.
I think that dart made the right choice in letting rose go free when he found out the truth. he needed her and her expertise in retrieving shana from "emperor diaz." some people had criticized the game as being too forgiving but I think that in a life and death matter when your love ones became your enemies and your enemies became your friends you're bound to make hard choices.
From what I remember was that whenever the moon child was born the poeple around the village begin to worship the moon child as though the child was the messiah. All Rose need to do is fallow any information of people worshipping a child and she will eventully find the vilage that the moon child is living. As the reason why she failed once was simply because Shana new home and village they didn't know that she was the moon child and so they didn't worship her.
This was the biggest lore that really blew me away. I truly didn't see it coming. Bravo legend of dragoon! EDIT:rose killed about 102 babies in 11000 years after rounding off. WTF
i must push back on this idea that living forever would be mental anguish. you cannot know how it would feel to be immortal, so it's silly to assume you'd know how much mental anguish you'd be put through
Don't be dumb. Humans are not meant to exist forever as all things naturally decay. The mental strain alone of seeing the world change around you while you stay the same would be enough to drive most people insane
In most cases, the circumstance of immortality (like here) is that there's a lone immortal surrounded by mortals. There's this concept where the longer you're alive, the faster time seems to pass. (Vsauce has a great video on this) So as an immortal who has lived over a thousand years, regular people only living a hundred years at most would seem like dogs seem to us. Except that, rather than being a bit sad or maybe bittersweet only after their death (as we regular folk have other regular folk to rely upon) it would become a source of despair. You can have no true companions, as it is 100% guaranteed that anyone you might lean on, trust, or love will perish long before you. In the first thousand years this might not seem too bad, but after the 300th lover or friend dies, do you really think that's not going to have an effect on you? I lost my best friend nearly a decade ago and it still hurts, and that's just one person. After a thousand years you would have lost dozens of people. Accumulating that much grief and loss is practically guaranteed to make a person go insane. Which is why Rose's choker also stops her from feeling. You notice that she never speaks of anyone besides her old dragoon friends... even just the loss of those few was too much. It took her over ten thousand years to begin feeling again.
HA. Yes. The one thing that frustrated me is the reason why I ended calling this game “The Legend of Dragoon: The Game Where Your Super Power is Completely Useless Against Bosses” Don't get me wrong. I loved playing that game. Having to press buttons to counter, to counter counters, to get higher damage and more crits. But every freaking Boss in this game had power against your Dragoon power. Either a power that lowers the Dragon power so you could kill it, an Impenetrable Magic Shield, a Sacred Blade made specifically to slay dragons. And since the Dragoons are basically powered by the dragons themselves (I could be wrong, I played that game last before 2002, so 22 years ago), whatever hurts the dragon can hurt a Dragoon.
There is a cheese for the Lloyd fight that requires you to use a Dragoon, a talismen acc. Equip that and transform, Lloyd will spend more time trying to One shot said character with the Dragon Buster and it not working. If you equip it to Dart you will know when you won the fight as Dart will revert.
Am I the only one who thought many of the dragons looked more like machines than dragons? And the Virage's resemblance to mechs is quite apparent. Not this any of this is a bad thing, just an obsevation.
I remember there being a lot of hype surrounding this game prior to it's release. But when I got to playing it, I found the combat to be really underwhelming. I generally found the game to be pretty mid, but maybe that was just because no game can live up to its own hype.
It is mid if that, I’m not trying to throw shade. The story is decent, lore is cool. Combat is boring even with action buttons. You have a limiting item bag and can’t really use magic unless you’re a dragon. Really great concept but really behind in gameplay, considering how many great rpgs that are around in the PS1 era.
This was really good. Brings back memories of my fave ps1 game. we need a remaster
It's nice to see that this game inspired so many that they still remember it 10+ games after. What a golden age for creativity.
It's 24 years passed!
Hope he makes more documentaries about other classic games like Dot Hack IMOQ - these titles really deserve remasters, remakes, or at least digital ports on new gaming devices.
The legend of dragoon is one of my favorite games of all time!
This game was a cornerstone of my youth. Such memories.
It's amazing to see this game still has a fan base.
Hands down this an FF7 was my favorite ps1 RPG GAMES
Definitely need way more LoD content from ya, man! I love the deep dives! Keep them coming!
Story lore, Land lore, Character lore, all the lore!
I absolutely love this game. Rose was my usual go-to party member with Kongal as the other. Her story is tragic, yet instrumental to the game. I would've loved to see a return of the world of Endiness and maybe see a new generation of Dragoons be born. Maybe take on Soa (the god who created the Divine Tree) in a bid for survival. As it stands, Rose's dragoon spirit is the only one to have never changed hosts, so another plot point would've been finding a worthy successor to her stone.
Rose is favorite my character in legend of dragoon.
The lore in this game is actually pretty interesting. Shame we will never get a sequel or a remake. Sony should licence it out to someone.
It is. It's a very deep and long game. It's clear that it was very carefully made. It's just hard to understand it all in context. Also, there are so many spelling errors in the game which I wonder why they would be so careless about.
@@NoHomerS Translation errors were pretty norm in the 90s early 2000s
Yeah i always wondered how they would attempt a sequel as the story is so wrapped up.
I think making Soa the creator come in personally to try create the 108 seed is an decent option.
@nateblanche2551 and I just learned that the 108 people concept is from Japanese lore, which doesn't surprise me that they use the same concept for Suikoden.
I think we'll get a remake ...someday.
man i love LOD, it's a crime this game still has no sequel, prequel or a remake
This game needs a full remake!
Wait until _after_ the DEI plague has passed.
Thank you so much. Sincerely. Please keep the content coming. We love the legend. Never let it die
I swear man, you voice and narration are PERFECT for fantasy like and all the alike sotries

A video dedicated to the very woman I'm named after? Yes please!💜
Absolutely legendary. You're officially part of the main character party, nice.
When you do the math of 11,000 years and the moon child being born every 108 years. Rose had to slaughter babies and innocent bystanders 101 times….😢
If she just point on the target, So is reasonable. But the way she done at Neet not understandable. She seem fine to kill everyone not just the target MoonChild. I dont like this, It was an excessive, over her duty and unprofessional.

I would love to see a remaster. Game mechanics, controls, and story unmolested, but given a major facelift. It would sell hundreds of millions of copies I bet.
I like the Theory of Zieg being the one to kill Claire. never heard that idea presented before
I don't know why these videos were suddenly recommended to me, but damn if these weren't a blast from the past. I'd actually almost completely forogtten a good chunk of this game's lore.
Rose remains in my top 3 favorite video game characters of all time.
So do I
Loving this LoD lore exploration, I need more!
I didnt know how complex this was. Didnt know english back then. I am going to give it a try.
I just found this video and I’m already excited! You got a subscriber!
Time for more Dragoon Lore! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rose's character arc is by far one of the best.
The music, the cut scenes, the story telling....hate that it never got a remaster
I got this game when it first came out. I still have my copy. Like LOK, I revisit it every few years.
Rose's choice too take on a task that is kind of awful, was an inspiring part of my childhood. Someone had too do it. And even when the world turned on her, she kept going.

ah one of my hidden gems that i play when i child . just hoping it will get remake one day
I loved this video. Replaying the game right now
This video was done really well. I enjoyed it very much
One of my favorite games. I always had Rose as one of my mains.
Please keep making LOD videos - it keeps the game alive for people like us 🙏🏽😭
I wonder if the other 107 moon children were either humans, gigantos, Winglies, minatos, merfolk, dark elves, gnomes, goblins, orcs, trolls and the other species born from the Divine Tree.
Oh and if Rose didn’t sacrifice herself to slay Melbu Frahma, she could have married Zieg and been Dart’s step mom
I think any species on Endiness was fair game for the soul of the God of Destruction. So long as it had a body to assimilate, it likely didn't care.
@@gjtrue I think the reason why the God of Destruction didn't use the Winglies as it's host is because the Winglies were the ones who separated it's soul and flesh in the first place. Why would the God of Destruction not want a Gigantos or Minatos as its host?

@@samflood5631Since Dragoons can fly so fast from the cutscenes, Rose probably traveled like a vagabond listening for rumors when the time was close.
The Super Virage can manipulate whole towns so talk would travel like light,then she's x'ing everybody in that city to be safe.
@@OGRio-de4gn You mean that there were Super Virages buried deep underneath the cities and towns of the many nations of Endiness?
@@samflood5631 No. The Super Virage "Is" the moon that never sets. All the virage that come out of it are the versions winglies created by the thousands, still weaker than dragons btw.
The soul(moon child) forces anyone around it to protect it until it can go back to its body, The moon that never sets. We now know it would take Melbu instead of Shana as its soul in the end to make the abomination.
Rose is so cool, i love this character design and her dragoon
I'm so missed we haven't got a good reboot or sequel.
Now we need a video on the moon child herself. With the lore dropped here, does this mean Dart was just a thrall under her spell the entire time?
no, dart was inlove with shana, but she had a nack for geting in truble constantly 😂 lol so he would travel to ends of world to save her from peril thats why dart did it
The thing is that the game is called “the legend of Dragoon”, which practically makes Rose the protagonist.
Something I often ponder is what was planned for next? If this game was meant to compete with Final Fantasy, a multi-game saga, then what were the sequels lore going to contain? How are they set up in this game? This game's lore is surprisingly self-contained.
What Rose went through in her long extended life, gotta say the pain is unfathomable and she was pretty much an invincible killing machine. If Zieg wasn't possessed by Melbu and saw what Rose had become, oh boy.
We were playing with a friend. Everyone chose a character and one was common.
Moar Dragoon content plez
Wonder if they would ever make another one
"If youve had thoughts about Rose"
Dude. If only you knew
I'd never really though about exactly how Claire died, it actually makes a lot more sense that Melbu posessed Zieg killed her and not Rose.

God I want a rerelease of this game. Not even a remake just a remaster.
I reach this channel and begin mi Lets play of this Game again we need a remake of this Game
No more video about LoK franchise, Strictly Fantasy? I guess there's no more topic left to discuss.
The next three vids will be on LOK. I just needed a small break to keep ideas fresh 👍
Will you do a video based on the Ghost Ship portion of the game? Best part imo.
Ironic that Rose as the Black Monster, wiped out over 100 towns filled with people..right after spending years fighting for humanity as Dark Dragoon.👿
With great power comes great responsibility.

fate given by the Moon. However, what we really get is the spawning of
destruction and fear, that is the Black Monster.
Hey, thanks for the lore. Your awesome.
So any chance kongal or his people can get a video?
Miranda’s “favorite” party member and her name being a painful reminder of her own past. Rose is indeed one of my favorites from LOD and well developed. Rose literally had killed every incarnation of the moon child 101 times. That’s a lot of baby killing including the people influenced by the moon child. 😰
I infer as well that the main reason she took on the job was because she and her friends fought so hard for a better future but she found out that there was a fate worse than being wiped out by the winglies.
I think that rose meeting dart was a turning point in her life. all she had done was kill and kill. he showed her a different path that would absolve her of her duties. I wish the game ended a little differently though.
LOD is one of the best games of all time. Roses black gate, or whatever It's called where she literally goes into a menstrual cycle to suck all the enemies into a void of darkness, which is hilarious.
I think that dart made the right choice in letting rose go free when he found out the truth. he needed her and her expertise in retrieving shana from "emperor diaz." some people had criticized the game as being too forgiving but I think that in a life and death matter when your love ones became your enemies and your enemies became your friends you're bound to make hard choices.
What are you using to replay this game? The backgrounds look so crisp!
god danm what a trip.
the moon children devoured by the black monster represent mustard seeds that fell on the thorns.
I like the way you say "smoke & Fire" makes me thirsty
Cant wait until he does a video for the best bro in the game Lavitz
I always wondered how did Rose track the Moon Child? Somewhere in the world a baby needs to die, that’s so vague and she only screwed up once.
From what I remember was that whenever the moon child was born the poeple around the village begin to worship the moon child as though the child was the messiah. All Rose need to do is fallow any information of people worshipping a child and she will eventully find the vilage that the moon child is living. As the reason why she failed once was simply because Shana new home and village they didn't know that she was the moon child and so they didn't worship her.
0:02 what a way to be taken seriously
This was the biggest lore that really blew me away. I truly didn't see it coming. Bravo legend of dragoon!
EDIT:rose killed about 102 babies in 11000 years after rounding off. WTF
She seem fear the Moon Child too much. Despite she never face it.
i must push back on this idea that living forever would be mental anguish. you cannot know how it would feel to be immortal, so it's silly to assume you'd know how much mental anguish you'd be put through
Don't be dumb. Humans are not meant to exist forever as all things naturally decay. The mental strain alone of seeing the world change around you while you stay the same would be enough to drive most people insane
If you afraid of immortality, then you will never reach goddly hood!
In most cases, the circumstance of immortality (like here) is that there's a lone immortal surrounded by mortals. There's this concept where the longer you're alive, the faster time seems to pass. (Vsauce has a great video on this) So as an immortal who has lived over a thousand years, regular people only living a hundred years at most would seem like dogs seem to us. Except that, rather than being a bit sad or maybe bittersweet only after their death (as we regular folk have other regular folk to rely upon) it would become a source of despair. You can have no true companions, as it is 100% guaranteed that anyone you might lean on, trust, or love will perish long before you. In the first thousand years this might not seem too bad, but after the 300th lover or friend dies, do you really think that's not going to have an effect on you? I lost my best friend nearly a decade ago and it still hurts, and that's just one person. After a thousand years you would have lost dozens of people. Accumulating that much grief and loss is practically guaranteed to make a person go insane. Which is why Rose's choker also stops her from feeling. You notice that she never speaks of anyone besides her old dragoon friends... even just the loss of those few was too much. It took her over ten thousand years to begin feeling again.
My favorite is Meru, Rose and Miranda!!!
HA. Yes. The one thing that frustrated me is the reason why I ended calling this game “The Legend of Dragoon: The Game Where Your Super Power is Completely Useless Against Bosses”
Don't get me wrong. I loved playing that game. Having to press buttons to counter, to counter counters, to get higher damage and more crits. But every freaking Boss in this game had power against your Dragoon power. Either a power that lowers the Dragon power so you could kill it, an Impenetrable Magic Shield, a Sacred Blade made specifically to slay dragons. And since the Dragoons are basically powered by the dragons themselves (I could be wrong, I played that game last before 2002, so 22 years ago), whatever hurts the dragon can hurt a Dragoon.
There is a cheese for the Lloyd fight that requires you to use a Dragoon, a talismen acc. Equip that and transform, Lloyd will spend more time trying to One shot said character with the Dragon Buster and it not working. If you equip it to Dart you will know when you won the fight as Dart will revert.
cool to see LoD love! But maybe don't put a spoiler in the title itself >
AHHH thay purple marshal arta maater character is dart's grandpa i forget his name hatchel ?
More Legacy Of Kain please!
Dragoons and Suikoden 2 had better stories than all Final Fantasies.
It cannot be!
Yo, the titlecard is basically a spoiler alert.
honestly I wonder as well if claire had died by her husband's hands instead. I think we would know if her soul was found in mayfil.
No, thank you!❤
I beat it again on ps1 emulator so many memiors
Im in my thirties PLEASE somebody remake this game b4 i die PLEASE
No Lloyd yet. :(
Am I the only one who thought many of the dragons looked more like machines than dragons? And the Virage's resemblance to mechs is quite apparent. Not this any of this is a bad thing, just an obsevation.
How can a like video 2000 times?
I think rose is very pitty to me her excuse to kill humans was because her lover was turned into stone. So peace on earth was no matter to her.
I remember there being a lot of hype surrounding this game prior to it's release. But when I got to playing it, I found the combat to be really underwhelming. I generally found the game to be pretty mid, but maybe that was just because no game can live up to its own hype.
It is mid if that, I’m not trying to throw shade. The story is decent, lore is cool. Combat is boring even with action buttons. You have a limiting item bag and can’t really use magic unless you’re a dragon. Really great concept but really behind in gameplay, considering how many great rpgs that are around in the PS1 era.
I want this game on IOS man
I love all your videos, but the IA art turned me off a little now...
Wth is this game
