WATCH NEXT: Parasite Eve Retrospective: Square's Resident Evil RPG youtube.com/watch?v=BBokBXQ2GVo
The Legend of Dragoon was Sony's attempt at capturing the magic and success of Square's late-PS1 Final Fantasy games. Sometimes hailed as a "Final Fantasy Killer" before release, Legend of Dragoon received a middling reception by critics and is still an incredibly divisive game online. What is it that led to Legend of Dragoon being so beloved by many, and so maligned by others? Today in this 20th Anniversary Retrospective, I'll break down why Legend of Dragoon was the game that made me fall in love with JRPGs, and why those that hate the game are probably right too!
