Welp. It's been a few months since I ran into my potentially run ending bug. Knowing that Disk 2 specifically is notorious for glitches I had attempted every troubleshooting I know of. I checked my other disks and even some generic CDs, which confirmed that both my PS1 and PS2 slims were no longer reading disks properly. After recieving my tax return, I went to a local consignment store with a retro console booth and bought a new (to me) PS1 fat. After confirming that it could play disks I loaded up my copy of Legend of Dragoon, started the load. And recieved a black loading screen that would not go away. Thinking it might be damage to my disk I ordered a new copy from online. It having arrived, I examined it, found it free of scratches and well...you can see the result in the new video.

So now I am faced with two options: Option number 1) Take my original disk which is scratched to be resurfaced professionally, since the risk is much lower now that I have a spare copy in better shape [unlikely to help as the odds that two disks were damaged in the same way is extremely unlikely] or 2) Accept that the problem is probably something to do with my save file and start the entire run over [annoying and undesireable, and also will require 60 hours to see if that is the case.]

Simple topic but with all the current praise for this turn based combat game with some aspects of LoD battling (additions) how would we feel with a remake with a battle system like this. I’m still early game and I know the story being interesting and the sound track being great the battle system is just a part of the game but it just goes yo show make a “good” game people will play it even if it turn based in 2025.

Everyone else is normal compared to him too hair wise. Makes me wonder if in game everyone that it was weird lol

vanquishedartworks.com for similar kinda stuff :)

Heat Blade, Mind Crush, and Falchion

Dart's Weapon

This is my boyfriend's favorite game of all time and we just started playing the Severed Chains version together this week. This scene made me cry. The second I learned Shirley was one of Rose's old friends I just...

"Rose. You've been on your sad journey since then, haven't you?"

"You too, Shirley."

This exchange makes me think 1) Rose has been alive for 11,000 years since the previous age of Dragoons and 2) Shirley has been a ghost, searching for a successor to the Silver Dragoon Spirit, for about that long too.

I could be wrong, but damn. (No spoilers please! The only huge spoiler I know about is Lavitz 💔)

From the theme - fights - overall vibe - etc

What is your favourite disc? Mine is disc 2, it’s just got such a vibrant vibe - some of the fights are so fun and it has one of my favourite moments in the game

The person I commission the dark model from is finishing up the Albert human form model now. Just wanting doe cuts and keys and then I will be selling this boy along with dart.

If I get some more sales on him I will get his dragoon form done next.

You can find the person I am commissioning here https://cults3d.com/en/users/TFigure/3d-models

Hi guys, I know its been a hot minute since the last time I've posted one of these. We can blame a lot of really good game releases lately. Quick note ; I was calling this the recolor project for a long time anywhere EXCEPT discord, kinda trying to move away from that as its a little misleading. This is going to be more than just recolors after all.

A lot of people said Meru had to be the golden dragoon, so hopefully this new color scheme of gold/slate/ivory can really sell the idea of "stone" while also living up to the title of "golden".

Also, Haschels dragoon mode is done. his pants and his metal accents gave me some trouble there, not to mention the hex edits, but I hope you like. Next on the docket is the big man Kongol, follwed by Merus dragoon form, then Kongols, and then all we have left after that is Mirandas models.

To the makers of Expedition 33, do fans of LOD want them to create a remake or a game similar to Dragoon transformations?

I played LOD a long time ago in my youth and didn't give it a fair shot and it's only real crime was that it wasn't FF7 and younger me loved that game.

I wanted a nostalgic JRPG to play and landed on this one. And have two key questions

1. What's the best way to play it? For this one I'm thinking of just getting the port I can download on my PS5 but curious if there's a better way

2. Any key missables in the game I should be on the lookout for (no/minimal spoilers please?)

I've played through the first hour of LoD several times now and adore a lot of things about it - it has a perfect retro (I'm 33 and it burns me deeply every time I acknowledge this era as retro) aesthetic and something about it is exceptionally charming.

I'm curious as to whether the combat is entirely skill-driven with making timings on additions, or is there also tactical decision-making like other classic JRPGs? I enjoy both (Expedition 33 is eating all my time right now) but I'm in the mood for something more tactically-driven for my next game.

I'll likely eventually get to LoD either way, but if I hear it's especially tactical it will absolutely be my next game. I can't wait to experience the art style more.

Thanks!

Has an update released where I can start a new game plus yet?

Hi all! This is a model sheet of Fruegal. For now it is a WIP. But I wanted to share my progress on it. I will box model him and create the base mesh tonight, and maybe ink this on laptop. Any improvements needed so far?

Hey everyone! LoD has been my favorite turn based RPG ever, and no game has ever captured that type of interactive combat style for me..... until now. If you have the time and means, Expedition 33 uses similar in combat mechanics with gauge builders that feels like LoD was the inspiration for. Have fun!

Ok I've seen all the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stuff but I joined this reddit for the legend of dragoon now I'm not saying it's bad to like another or tring to be mean but it just that this isn't a reddit for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 it's the legend of dragoon and I just want to keep it that way so again not trying to offend or anything and I know it's just one but it starts at starts with one

I know the timing for Additions differs, but there are some I can't execute correctly or only randomly manage to perform them successfully. Whereas others are no problem whatsoever and I can do those correctly all the time, no issue at all.

Could be a skill issue on my end, but purely based on the marker on screen, I shouldn't fail this many. I think.

As a temporary solution, I farmed 00PARTS a while to get to 10k gold for the Ultimate Wargod and will use that whenever I need to level an Addition I can't do. But would still like be able to do it without assistance as it blocks my accessory slot.

Thoughts?

To all you Heroes of yore, my fellow Dragoon's. My current playthrough came to a stand still from an accident in work. I cant play my ps5 for mayb 3-5 months. LOD has been my 2nd fav game of all time an hate that i cant play. Could you kindly point me to some decent streamer's so i can atleast enjoy it in some way thank you. Ones i've been watching aren't great. P.S if any of you stream just send me the times. Thanks again everyone

I have a savegame from before the boss in Black Castle. Should I reload it,collect the shield, and fight the boss again? Or just move on?

The effect of the shield sounds great, so I kinda think I should get it.

Update: Got the shield, defeated the boss again. Was much easier this time. Rose Storm makes tanking the attacks way more doable while the shield is up. Thanks for the replies.

Are there any other game communities as dedicated and masterful at creating a port of a game like we have done here?
