I got this about a week ago, it's actually a pretty good game. It's for the PS1, it has a lot of similarities to FF7 in terms of story...the main character has spiky blond hair; the female lead has random mystical powers and shit; the main enemy (so far) is a mysterious silver haired dude with a super-sword thingy; there's these old weapon-creature-things called 'virage' that resemble jenova; the main character's hometown got burned by an evil thingy (probably another party member)....that's all I remember right now.
But it's fun nonetheless. The dialog is pretty crappily written/translated sometimes, but the story seems pretty good overall. The fighting system is pretty interesting, the characters all have these combos, and one so far is actually pretty hard to pull off. You can also transform characters into dragoons, dragon-human hybrids (or, your characters in flashy colored armor) with magic and stronger attack combos and shit, using SP gained from your combos. So far there's only been one fairly difficult fight, but I only just beat the first disc (I think it was about 8 hours of play, give or take a few).
The voice acting is actually fairly good, though it's mostly just for the attack combos, magic, etc.
There's this dude named albert with a spear, he's pretty rad.
Recommended, sorta, since it's a really cheap buy.
:o
:D
Yay! Someone else who has this game! I got it for Christmas the year it came out. It's awesome. Dart, Albert, Rose. Hells yeah. Lavitz was cool...but alas. Get to disk four! Go!
DUDE! My second fave rpg ever. Dart/Albert/Haschel in my team rocks. Even though Lavitz > Albert.
LoD > FF7
Seems better nao that I got into it more.
Even though I've gotten tired of RPGs this one was good enough to get me playing. I just got the reward for 50 stardust (truth is I did use FAQ for that) and I'll prolly fight faust next time I play.
I killed the first 2 dragons in Mayfil, then backtracked. I beat them in about 4 rounds, is it possible I'm at least close to taking faust?
