Description
Legend Of Dragoon
Sony PlayStation PS1
Take Dart, a brave young hero. Add an eager band of fellow adventurers, a mysterious evil force, fierce monsters, mythical folklore and amazing battle sequences; play for 80 hours across 4 disc's and the get the epic RPG that you've been waiting for - The legend of dragoon."
The above quote is on the back of the case. Some may think it's a bit presumptious on sony's part there, but there is no denying dragoon is amongst the best RPG's ever.
Long ago I thought that final fantasy was "the" RPG to have/play. I got this not long after it was released back in 2000. I played it through and traded it in. About 2 years ago I managed to get it again off ebay.
In the game you play Dart and are on a quest to find the black monster. And yes as most people do, there are some notable comparisons with the FF series. Instead of GF's (guardian forces) each character in dragoon morph's into a dragoon warrior and uses magic and physical attacks. Unlike the GF's though you can choose which magic attack to use based on how many enemies you have on screen as some magic attacks are individual and others are group attacks. Each with their own special abilities and attributes. Some even heal the team or give bonuses.
Graphic wise the game is great to look at with all pre-rendered backgrounds and the detail on the towns and cities is outstanding. 10/10
Sound is fairly generic with noises that suit the attacks of your team and also the enemy. But the battle music is what really sets the tempo. 7/10
Gameplay/story, the game is very big and can take up to 20 hours sometimes longer to get through the first disc. The level up system is done very well and easy to follow. The addition system is a nice touch giving your character's additional strikes after the first one lands. However you do need quick reflexes as you will need to time your strikes with the button press on screen.
The game also utilizes a block move which is done well. When you use the block move it does 2 things. First it gives you back 25% health each time you use it, and the other thing it does is halve any damage received from all attacks. It also nulls out any abnormal statuses like petrify or fear etc. (This also happens when you transform into a dragoon as well.)
This is a must have for any avid RPG player, though dated by today's standards Dragoon still holds it's own.

Grading
Please Note: Every disc is tested and guaranteed to work, with professional resurfacing applied where needed. Excellent and Very Good grades both include the Original Jewel Case, Front Booklet/Manual, Back Cover Inlay, and Game Disc. Our Excellent grade is our best available, not "as new" — if you're after a pristine, professionally graded copy, we'd recommend sourcing that through a dedicated grading service instead.
| Grade | What's Included | Case & Disc Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our best available grade. Hinges operational. Case may show small cracks, light scuffing, minor marks, or the odd retail sticker — we mix and match the best plastics we have, but this isn't a mint or graded copy. Booklet is in top shape overall, with minimal dog-ears or creasing and no tears; may occasionally show faint watermarking on the white reverse side. |
| Very Good | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our standard pre-owned grade. Case may show heavier cracking, scuffs, chips, stress marks, broken hinges, or old retail sticker residue. Booklet is fully complete but shows more noticeable wear than an Excellent copy — dog-ears, creasing, and more prevalent watermarking on the white reverse side are all expected. |
| Good | Disc + Case (NO MANUAL / BOOKLET) |
The players' copy. Comes with the original jewel case — front and rear artwork inlays may be included, but aren't guaranteed at this grade. Expect the case plastic to typically be cracked or broken; it's done its job protecting the disc, just not going to win any beauty contests. Disc is fully tested and working. Perfect if you just want to play the game and aren't precious about how the case looks. |
| Disc only | Game Disc Only (NO CASE / NO BOOKLET) |
Our budget option. Disc only, no case, booklet, or rear inlay. Shipped securely in a protective sleeve inside a rigid mailer. |
