The Legend of Dragoon
PlayStation Classics That Should be Remade
In the wake of the massively successful Final Fantasy VII, the JRPG was brought into a Golden Age, and countless titles tried to adapt what the game had done so successfuly. Legend of Dragoon is one of those titles that is clearly influenced by Final Fantasy VII, casting you as a spikey-haired swordsman with a tragic past. The game introduced some interesting ideas, such as an active combat system that had you pressing buttons to time your attacks, and the ability to transform into the powerful Dragoon during battle.
More than any other game here, however, The Legend of Dragoon is in desperate need of remake. The game has not aged well at all, the combat feels archaic, the plot twists cliched, and the translation/script is riddle with errors and incorrect grammar. Remaking this title with modern sensibilities could definitely help The Legend of Dragoon realize its potential, and bring a strong JRPG to the PS4.
