One of the JRPG cult classics that is looked back on fondly by its very passionate fanbase.

This is a really enjoyable JRPG with a fun battle system that incorporates timing/action elements and the ability to transform into a Dragoon. Its Final Fantasy inspiration is noticeable, but it still has quite a few different ideas that make it worth playing for any old school JRPG fan.

This game deserved a sequel or at least some spin-off franchise. It is a shame that 20+ years later, we still don't have a proper sequel, nor even a remastered version. The only JRPG I've seen that took some of the battle system elements from LoD was Shadow Hearts, but that still wasn't the same.

I'd love to see another game expand upon the Addition system this game introduced... maybe the ever-evolving indie scene will answer the call, because I've given up on Sony ever producing another game.
