When you realize Legend of Dragoon's creator worked on Final Fantasy VI as battle planner.
Makes sense, I guess. Both games have a battle engine that can display cutscenes.
GUST OF WIND.... DANCE
he also made super mario rpg's battle engine
both smrpg and lod have timed hits
ffvi's opening credits are real depressing to look at today. is takahashi the only one who's released a game recently?
I never understood the hatred that people had for Legend of Dragoon. I blame that Andrew Vestal faggot.

>Hatred for Legend of Dragoon
What? Why? What kind of monster could hate such a great game?
>>2887808
Pretty sure most people are just sick of the fanbase trying to hype up a really mediocre JRPG as if it's some underrated masterpiece.

Yes, I absolutely hate when other people enjoy things. Gotta take those fuckers down a notch.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying things. There is something wrong however with acting like the thing you enjoy is the second coming of Christ instead of just Joe. Joe's a cool dude but he ain't no Jesus.

Around the time Legend of Dragoon came out, the Gaming Intelligence Agency (a now-forgotten reviewing site) published a scathing review of the game that pretty much consisted of the author bitching about how derivative the game's plot was. It was actually written by Nich Maragos, but The GIA had some e-cred around the time since its webmaster was Andrew Vestal, the founder of RPGamer and a very obnoxious beta male type.
