You fail as both a troll and a human being.

Zpoope has a valid opinion that I happen to share. I think Cataract probably wanted you to back up your claims a bit more, though.

This was Sony's stab at a FFVII clone, trying to jump onto the 4-disc bandwagon if I remember right. And though I loved it in seventh grade, I played it again my freshmen year of college and it's nothing special. The story is a real mess, dialogue included; none of the characters have any personality; and the combat is really bland. Defending heals you 10% of your life, or something similar, and you can only cast Magic when you're in Dragoon mode (think Limit Break bar filling up over time and going away after just a few turns). I always wanted to save my Dragoon powers for a boss fight, so every non-boss fight literally was constant attacking and defending. You can do timed button presses to combo attacks, like an expanded Super Mario RPG. That kept me on my toes. But you can't change combos within a battle, so you really do watch and perform the same moves over and over and over.

I don't remember liking the music; I remember the same tracks playing over and over again and making me sick.

If anyone does play it, do yourself a favor and don't use Kongol. He's annihilated by magic in every single boss fight, so it's like playing through the game with a party of two.

the final boss is sort of cool but i don't think it makes up for this game, really. it's a big ball of cliches, but i had fun playing it back when i was a teenager. i remember forcing myself to beat it though..and it felt more like a chore than a pleasure. but i like rose.

Waitaminute. You don't find vagrant story boring?

I liked LoD for it's battle system. The addition system made battles more entertaining and exciting. Instead of getting a preset amount of damage, I had to learn the attacks to make sure that I earned the damage. Having a guard action that does more than just make you take less damage the next round was nice, too. I'll definitely agree that the dialogue isn't very well written, but the story is pretty decent if you can look up a story/plot summary. The environments are really interesting to me, and the whole game was very memorable.

And yes, Dart was an awful name for the protagonist. I'll definitely give you that much.

I also like video games and women!
