Not content to merely have built the world's leading consoles, Sony has thrown its hat into the RPG developers' ring with their ambitious new project titled The Legend of Dragoon.
Featuring a cast of nine playable characters, Dragoon immerses you in a world where mankind's very existence is threatened by numerous factors, ranging from civil war to the return of a mysterious race of beings that threatens to unleash a devastating evil force on the populace. The story focuses on Dart, the young hero on a quest for revenge who ends up pursuing loftier goals as he learns of his role in ensuring the future of humanity.
Yes, we know--it's certainly not the most inspired story line. But Dragoon has plenty of other intriguing elements to capture the fancy of RPGers. Take the battle system, for example. Fighting centers on 'Additional' attacks, which require you to nail a series of carefully timed button presses to trigger a powerful finishing blow (see sidebar). Precision is a must, as the slightest misstep will throw off an attack. Adding to the challenge is the fact that enemies will occasionally counterattack, which requires a quick reaction in order to avoid being blown back.And then there are the Dragoon attacks: Throughout the game, your party members gain the ability to harness the power of dragon spirits. Build up enough special points during battles and you'll be given the choice to transform; you'll then have to pull off a different series of timed button presses to pummel your foes with furious power.
As a Dragoon, you'll also have access to a range of magic attacks, which vary greatly depending on the character.
- Hop on and head to Vellweb by way of Deningrad, Kashua Glacier, and the Snowfield. You might want to stop by Lohan on your way and pick up a Legend Casque for everyone, as well as some Legendary Armors. Visit the merchants in Vellweb if you need to and make sure you save. Head up to the Dragoon Towers and go around counterclockwise.
- The Legend of Dragoon for PlayStation game reviews & Metacritic score: A peaceful beginning. The legend was born 10,000 years ago. A violent uprising. A civilization of flying creatures enslave the human race.
When you're not fighting, you'll be treated to a gorgeous world composed of CG backgrounds that rival those found in Square's Final Fantasy series. Details abound, including nifty visual effects like dancing flames, running water and billowing fog.
I think Project Siren and Team Ico were parts of said studio, but they might have just been people they co-developed with. If they aren't a part the only big things that are soley the Studio's i can think of is the Legend of Dragoon, the Ape Escapes, and Knack. And we got an announcement of Knack 2 at the end of last year.
Spanning four discs and promising some 80 hours of gameplay. Dragoon may be yet another premier RPG for the PlayStation. But does Sony have what it takes to rival the likes of Squaresoft? From what we've seen so far, Dragoon holds plenty of promise--but we'll know for sure when we get our hands on the reviewable version next month.
Legend of Legaia
'God created the heavens, the earth, and the seas. After creating all things in the universe, god created humans to rule over the world. Yet, while possessing the wisdom of god, humans were physically weaker than the wild beasts, and impulsive in spirit. Many times did the humans come close to dying out forever. Concerned about the humans' future, god gave them a mighty force with which to aid them. It was the Seru. Since the dawn of human memory, known as history, humans lived together with creatures known as Seru. The Seru lived together with humans, always obeying them, and making the humans many times stronger than before. When not worn by a human, a Seru looks much like a stone figure. However... Upon touching a human, a Seru changes form and gives that human secret abilities. With a Seru, a human can lift objects heavier than itself and even fly in the air at will. However, that era came to an end. Appearing from out of nowhere, the Mist covered the land, bringing to an end prosperous symbiosis between humans and Seru. After the thick Mist came, the Seru, who once obeyed humans, rebelled against them. The Seru began attacking humans at will. Seru that attached themselves to humans controlled their minds and turned them into evil beasts. As if forsaken by god, human civilization collapsed. It was the twilight of humanity. Those who escaped the Mist inhabited the desolate areas and protected each other. Now, their faint hope is their only source of inspiration.'—Prologue
Legend of Legaia (レガイア伝説 Regaia Densetsu) is a PlayStation action role-playing game developed by Prokion and Contrail.
About me
When I started this project, I had two reasons to develop it:
1 - To learn Unity and put it as my portifolio
2 - We need a Remake of Legend of Legaia
But for now, I'm doing it just for the love of the game, and it became my hobby since I've started. So, here we are.
Remake and Copyrights
Since I've started, many other developers had starting their own projects, and it does not bother me. Every point of view from the game is welcome, there is some remakes that will bring new features, others are doing with their own stylized way. Mine will focus in the original mechanics of the game with a modern aspect. So, I don't want to innovate or create anything that doesn't exist in Legaia.
I cannot, and I will not develop it for commercial purposes. It means that when the demo comes out, it will be free.
But of course, donations are welcome :)

Hey there !Fixed it, make sure you are looking into the “game-info “channel ;)
I don’t know if you guys are still working on this or not since it’s been a while since your last post but just letting you know I would be willing to pay for this game even if it is just beginning works. I made an account to cheer you guys on as well and let’s just say this game defined my childhood(as well as final fantasy games) and if there is anything I could do to help support just let me know.
I hope the project is making progress, I'm looking forward to it!
