Legend of Legaia

Sony does a good job at making Legaia a success. Which is a perfect mixture of the old with the new. The Innovative Battle system will allow you to forget the lengthy play. When you think the game is beat you'll be surprised to find out there's more. This is one of the best qualities, that adds to the excellent gameplay. The only gripe is the music gets repetitive, and the bosses are hard as hell.

From the makers of Wild Arms, Legend of Legaia brings players into a world that has been consumed by a mysterious mist that threatens to end all of humanity. It's up to you to control three would be hero's on a quest to rid the world of the mist and return things back to normal. In typical RPG fashion, LoL weaves a complex story that has you voyaging above and below the land fighting all sorts of weird and magical creatures, talking to everyone in sight and then finally discovering just what is going on and who is behind the world's misfortune. LoL features decent graphics, a truly triumphant musical score and a unique battle system that will challenge and delight you. If you like RPG's or just want to see what the fuss is all about do yourself a favor and check this out…just make sure to set aside a LOT of time because this game is looooong baby.

In the end, I have to say I found this game to be very enjoyable, with a few new innovations to your typical RPG game. With approximately 50 hours of play, you can also rest assured that you will get your moneys worth if you buy it. I found this to be one of the better RPG's I have played in the last while, and have to say it's a definite smart purchase for any hard core RPG fans.

With poor plot, graphics, sound, and gameplay, Legend of Legaia comes up short in the fun department. There is really nothing here to elicit even a second glance from any gamer, and unless you're a die-hard must-have-every-RPG-on-earth type person, I seriously suggest you rent before you buy.

Legend of Legaia is een hele aardige RPG in de stijl van Xenogears die een heleboel gamers in Japan aardig bezig heeft gehouden, tot Final Fantasy VIII uitkwam.

Despite the flaws that keep Legaia from being the world beater that it could have been, it still remains an engaging RPG for anyone who likes to play RPGs. After having obtained all three characters, you'll find yourself entertained for hours upon hours. Point blank, this is an ambitious RPG. Unfortunately, with all the RPG attention being paid to Square's Final Fantasy VIII, it seems as if Legaia might get swept under the rug, much in the way Wild Arms was overshadowed by FFVII. That would be a shame if it turned out like that. The Legend of Legaia is a worthwhile way to spend your time.

Avec une réalisation moins inégale et surtout un scénario de meilleure qualité, ce jeu aurait pu devenir une référence. Dommage que toutes ces bonnes idées (notamment le système de combat) tombent à l’eau à cause des trop nombreux défauts.

För de riktigt rollspelshungriga spelarna kan Legend of Legaia visa lite nya influenser och idéer som ännu inte har applicerats på andra spel. Legend of Legaia är visserligen långt ifrån spektakulärt men det har ett par innovativa inslag som det inte går att bortse ifrån. Som van rollspelare finns det saker som jag gillar och vissa som jag ogillar. De bra och dåliga sidorna väger dock så pass jämt att betyget blir ungefär samma som andra spel i den här kvalitetsklassen får.
