Description One of my favourite RPG's for the Playstation 1. I always thought it was underated - considering its been compared to Final Fantasy 7 numerous times, but I found both games to be veryyyy different from one another. Pictured are Dart, Shana and Rose.

Thank you!! The shading took quite a while to complete, but it was worth it in the end xD

I agree COMPLETELY. I have played Legend of Dragon several times. (Like 5 times) I never got a Final Fantasy vibe from it. In fact, they are very very very different. XDDD Legend of Dragoon is my favorite RPG game for PS1. Just everything about it was so well done. Including the music score too. Just outstanding.

With that said, I adore this piece! This artwork is my favorite piece from the game! You captured the characters so well! The shading is so outstanding too! Very great job!

Yea, thats true! I just think of LOD as a completely different game - and I think it deserved a lot more credit than it received. LOD was probably my fav RPG for the PS1, along with Xenogears and Chrono Cross! XD.

Thanks so much - appreciate it! I remember spending a while on this piece, but I feel it was definitely worth the time!

XD Sorry for late reply kind of. XD

YES. I love Chrono Cross! Never beat it though. XD My game had froze on me I think right after I was turned back into human. TT__TT I have to go back and finally beat it again.


You're very welcome. It really came out nice!

Yup, Chrono Cross was amazing - especially the OST! Ohhh I see, yea - if you ever get the chance, you should play through the whole game - you won't regret it! Thanks again for the kind words!

Numerous RPGs have been compared to Final Fantasy as if the franchise should be /the/ definition of an RPG. To be honest, I've never really enjoyed Final Fantasy.

The Legend of Dragoon was my first Playstation era RPG. I've replayed it so many times, but you know what else has been compared to Final Fantasy? Xenosaga. I don't get how people think Xenosaga is anything like Final Fantasy. The closest thing I can gather is that movie they made, The Spirits Within. Most people don't even consider that Final Fantasy, and what's more is that Xenosaga is based upon Xenogears. It's a spiritual predecessor, and it came out /long/ before Xenosaga.

I meant to say "/long/ before The Spirits Within". I got caught up in my rant. : x

Yea, I definitely agree! I think Final Fantasy is so well known because its one of the longest lasting RPG franchises to date - but that doesn't necessarily make it the best. I've played through most of the games, and some of them did not leave as much of a lasting impression as some of the other older RPG's that I've played.

I've never actually played Xenosaga, but I've played Xenogears, and if I had to compare it to the Final Fantasy Series - they're both veryy different from one another (like LOD). Because they have such different plotlines and setup, I couldn't really say which I would prefer

However, if I had to choose my all time fav RPG games, they would have to be: Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Final Fantasy X and Super Mario RPG. Best games everrr! XD

Try Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (and not the version they have PSP). That, my friend, is an amazing game.

I've heard so many good things about that game! - that, and Suikoden II Apparantly its really hard to find the PS1 versions of both games, but I definitely plan on playing them sometime soon
