you're slow and boring

>>5318873
fuck you in the ass

>>5318876
your dick isn't even as long as the thickness of my buttcheek

This game was good when you had the whole day free after school. After 18, you just can't invest 30 hours in a slow JRPG full of grind (and boy, does Legaia have a lot of it).

>>5318898
eat dog shit

>>5318898
To be fair,the first time I beat the final boss, the character were at level 37.

>>5318916
The game is still rather slow.

>>5318898
Agreed, that's why stuff like the FF1 randomizer is so great- it speeds the gameplay and xp gain up so damn much, it's like being fed an IV full of progress directly into your bloodstream

>>5318850
First time I see this.

I do suggest this game a lot. Fuck you if you didn't like it, this game is great with great progression.

It is somewhat unique in a lot of aspects, which makes for a good change of pace. Definitely a recommendation, if only for you to at least play it and say you don't like it.

>>5318850
>taking a recommendation for a game named LOL seriously

PS1 RPGs are dogshit. You could even make a similar case for SNES ones overall. Every game was handled by fucktard devs who started out making incompetent "DQ killers" and never managed to figured out what made DQ so special in the first place

>>5318850
Legaia 2: Duel Saga is better.

>>5321057
You have no idea what you're talking about. There is no game developer in Japan who isn't completely aware of what DQ is and it's social presence in the industry and among the audience. You cannot make something like DQ without people knowing that it's like DQ, you cannot make something to subvert DQ without people knowing that it's not like DQ.

When Blue Dragon came out, everybody everywhere in Japan knew exactly that it was "not-Dragon Quest", when somebody makes a kusoge clone of Dragon Quest everyone knows exactly what it is.

When you have a game about a legendary hero born in a small village called before the king everybody immediately thinks
>oh it's some sort of dragon quest reference?

People don't compete with Dragon Quest. Final Fantasy only has a good natured rivalry with Dragon Quest to the point that they are now literally on the same team. People pay homage to DQ. DQ is like mom's chicken soup when your mom probably doesn't even talk to you and dad is never home. It is a part of your family. To think of ripping off Dragon Quest or trying to undercut it is simply unthinkable for a Japanese person. You laugh along with the games and fondly remember it in your own games or you don't like videogames period.

Uh yeah sure, this doesnt change that devs are eternally greedy and wanted a piece of that pie when DQ first blew up. One instance of what im trying to say here is that a ton of JRPGs that came afterwards fail to capitalize on the part of DQ that rewards the players curiosity (looking through jars and barrels, tons of very clever secrets that rely on observation rather than being lucky with a 1/256 drop or easily missable events, etc.) This is how you get games like Tales of Destiny where every town is filled with a ton of huge houses made up of several different maps, that are all completely empty and void of any point of interest save for some old guy NPC telling you about the shit he ate for dinner. There's also huge glaring issues with balance that remain to this day because devs just couldnt give a shit about tweaking the numbers on encounters. DQ's development team is traditionally split like 50/50 between programmers and everybody else because they wanna be able to afford the man power it takes to make the balance right and make sure their games dont veer into too hard or too easy territory. Every other team at the time had one lone progeammer taking care of everything and a few dozen other people working on art direction. Nobody's learned their lesson

>>5321171
Dude the towns in Tales of Destiny are organic places where the NPCs actually live their lives how do you not understand this? They have toilets and kitchens and beds for every member of the family and shit. You're supposed to look at it and go
>oh man I could actually live here what the hell man it's so detailed
not
>WHERE ARE THE LENS GIVE ME YOUR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS

>>5321207
that feel when the toilet says "Plop."

>>5321207
>NPCs shit
just the immersion I wanted, thanks

>>5318850
If you're annoyed that a JRPG is slow, perhaps you've chosen the wrong genre.

>>5321171
You make DQ sound wonderful but it is actually the most stale series I've ever seen. There is virtually no change in combat from DQ3 to DQ6 to DQ11.

>>5321229
kek, this could be the name for an interesting podcast

>>5321062
It's more avarage than 1 in a weird way.

>>5324195
the gameplay is unquestionably better but the story is kind of just not interesting and there are too many characters

part of legend of legaia's appeal is just how bizarre the setting is

Fuck you Noa is my Waifu you cunt.

>>5324947

>>5324949

One of the rare jRPGs of that era that changed your character's model as you equipped new shit.

>Fuck you Noa is my Waifu you cunt.

>>5324971
Noa is pure! PURE!

>>5318876
Fuck your fucking mother!
