About The Legend of Dragoon
The Legend of Dragoon is a 1999 role-playing game developed by SCE Japan Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation and PlayStation Portable, holding a 8.4 / 10 aggregate score.
The Legend of Dragoon is a Japanese-style RPG, visually reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII (pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D characters and battle scenes, CG animations to advance the story). Battle mechanics follow the traditional turn-based prototype, with a few additions such as critical attacks dependent on precise timing, and "dragoon" transformations, which allow access to powerful techniques.
Game progression is largely linear, with the "world map" replaced by locations represented as connected dots.
