Is this worth playing at all? There's a patch to restore the original exp/balancinghttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8080/
>>12186234Sure. I tried Vanilla and that hack but personally I never really noticed much difference but I also wasn't paying attention and I grind in these games anyway. The boss music is cool. The battles can be fun for a bit as you discover new moves. I had a good time. Not blown away, but a good time.
>>12186234If it interests you, go ahead. Don't feel ashamed of dropping games partway through.
>>12186267About how long is it? 40ish hours?>>12186871I have a pretty hard time with sunk cost. If I put more than say ~5 hours into a game I feel obligated to complete it.
Also it's supremely weird to me that Sony released two PSX JRPG's around the same time with "Legend of ___" prefixes and they have nothing to do with each other
>>12186234It mogs FF7
>>12187769I never played either so I always thought Legaia was a sequel to Dragoon.
>>12186234It's a video game. It's playable. What more could you ask for?
>>12186234I remember liking it well enough at the time. Third guy took a while to get up to speed though.
>>12186234It's a fun RPG, with a pretty unique battle system.Music is pretty good.>>12187797They are nothing alike.
It's a hideous and boring game.
If you're emulating get the patched version that fixes the exp gain, the western released adjusted the game so it arbitrarily takes longer to level up
>>12186234>original exp/balancingthe game is piss easy you don't need to make it easier. There's hardly a point in the game you would need to grind where 50% gold or 75% xp would matter. If anything getting less xp improves the game since you might actually die a couple times and need to use strategy.
>>12187769Looking it up it seems like the difference is clear in the Japanese titles. Legend of Dragoon uses the actual English word Legend (Rejendo) in Romaji while Legaia uses Densetsu. Probably just a common title due to the success of Zelda.

I remember renting this game and fully expecting it to be garbage because of the awful presentation and primitive graphics, but I absolutely loved it. Equipment being modeled on your character is nice and the party members were simple but charismatic.
>>12186234Game is alright but battles become a slog later on, and the story doesn't know when to end.Having the patch will probably make it more bearable.
