Hey WTF? The Legend of Dragoon is the most awesome RPG ever! WHAT ABOUT THE GODDAM OTHER CHARACTERS, STORY SUMMARY, DRAGOON MOVES, ADDITIONS, AND ALL THAT?!?! Grr...this is highly offensive to me.

I know, you have to be a complete screw head to not like this masterpiece. Oh yeah to the ass hat who keeps on vandalizing my beloved LOD - you can go straight to hell. Starzaz 08:55, 19 October 2007

Then you're welcome to add informaton to the article. Although, given your previous statements, that information may not conform to NPOV...

I have to agree with the above person here. I love LoD as much as the next person, one of my most favorite games, but you don't go raving over it. It's not exactly a very popular game, sadly. I would expand on this if it weren't for the fact that my 1st copy of LoD is broken and my seoncd copy is lost somewhere. Also, I still don't know how to really make nice, big edits anyway. But I can fix spelling mistakes and such. Also, I don't know how to do it, but could someone please move the spoiler alert to the very top of the article? I believe that things like the death of a main character, betrayals, conspiracies unvieled, that sort of thing, are things that shouldn't be spoiled. I'll see if I can change it myself... Also, it would be most joyous if someone could write a little summary of what the game is exactly about, the plot. I haven't played in the longest time(I hadn't been able to play any PS games in a while, our PS2 broke and we just got a new one on Christmas, and between that time my new LoD got lost X.X), so it's a bit fuzzy, I keep thinking up side-plots and only snippets of the game and the like, I can't piece them together at the moment.

Well, I've played the game and I have set out to improve this article. It's going to be a while before it's perfect, but hey, it does need some work.

Thank you, I hope you do a nice job! But please leave 4 tildes(~) at the end of your talk-things, unless you don't have a username. I just like to know who it is posted, you know? XOSAF 22:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Uh. I was wondering. The name "The Legend of Dragoon", I've heard used like that many times before but I thought it might be wrong. Before I always pronounced it "Legend of the Dragoon". It may seem silly, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight on this. As the case's cover title may be a little confusing.

If this article is to be expanded, I think a mention of their horrific dialogue is in order. While it was an otherwise decent game, the translations of the game's script became laughable at best (ie, "YOU MAKE GOOD WIFE."). --AWF

All video game entries should have information on the reception, status etc... Anybody that may be working on this page should add that. - Helgunn

I found a story summary, but unfortunately, the author doesn't allow distribution on a site w/out permission. If you want to read it, go to the following site: The Legend of Dragoon FAQs at Gamespot and click on "Story FAQ by Greatest One". 71.198.181.226 02:00, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bugs in the game

According to the GameFAQs Message Board on Legend of Dragoon, there's a frequently reported bug on the Greatest Hits version where it freezes up during or after the battle with Lenus and Regole if played on a PS2. Various remedies are given for this, including not using Dragoon mode during the battle or putting toothpaste on the disk. According to the Message Board, this actually works. I'm not sure if this would belong in the article, due to the non-completely-verifiable content, and I'm not sure if this belongs in Wikipedia... could someone please comment? 71.198.181.226 02:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it's best to leave it out if you can't find a good source for it. (I do think that happened to me, but it wasn't a Greatest Hits version, and, well, my PS2 does freeze up a lot anyway.) Ravenwolf Zero 19:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure a saw a source for this, let me look around. This did happen to me, best way around it is to just use a PS1 to get past that point and then it works fine (this solution was in the article I mentioned, so let me look for it). Darkelfpoet 20:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Can someone provide a link to those bug remedies? I'm having that problem as well. 74.67.134.250 13:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
This has happened to me before, but it would freeze up throughout the whole game after certain scenes. Although the game was used, it wasn't scratched up at all. As far as using toothpaste to clean disk, I've done this and it does work. All you have to do is make sure you wash it all off with water and it'll leave the disk surface shiny in near-new condition.darkdemon90 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes

I'm not an expert at Wiki, but i am at LoD i might have missed something, but hey i've been trying, Tell me what anyone who reads it thinks-HK

[edit] Referenced in Tales of Symphonia?

I have recently been replaying LoD, and have noticed 3 things that remind me of Tales of Symphonia for GameCube a lot. However, I can't remember one of them...D'oh! Anyway, in LoD the woman you give all the Stardusts to is named Martel, who is the main goddess in ToS. And, a big villan in LoD is named Lloyd, which is the protagonist's name is ToS. As I play, I will see if I can find more references, but for now, I don't think two references warrant a mention Hypernova2121 06:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I think they're just coincidences. Lloyd is a normal name, and I know I've seen Mertel elsewhere, too. The games were made by two different companies, and probably by completely different teams of people.Ravenwolf Zero 19:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Martel is actually used in Tales of Phantasia which has appeared 5 years before LoD and is also the goddess...I believe it would be a coincidence anyhow--Kedren Raziek 08:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I think they're just coincidences also. It reminds me of the same things people say about the game having things in common with Final Fantasy VII, which is completely rediculous. darkdemon90 2:07, 22 Nov 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The List of Locations shouldn't be mergeed...

I'm going to work extensively to get this article on the map, and the List of The Legend of Dragoon Locations will be MUCH more detailed than it is now, and will take up too many kilobytes to be merged. it's appropiate to keep it as its own article.Johnny707 02:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Winglies in a whole section? Please think before you edit...

If we made a section like that on every race this article would be WAY too long. Make a section explaining the races or something, but not one whole section on JUST ONE race.Johnny707 01:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I currently see nothing about the races in the article, but it definitely should be there. If there's enough information for a whole section on each race, maybe there could even be a separate article for LoD Races (Final Fantasy has about fifty pages, after all). Ravenwolf Zero 19:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title of the game

I could see where one could think that the title is "Legend of the Dragoon" but the spine of the game's case clearly says "The Legend of Dragoon."

[edit] Shana's last name

How is it known that Shana's last name is "Deschain"? Was it in a version other than mine? Petronia 13:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds to me like a bad joke on The Dark Tower series by Stephen King - the name of the main character is Roland Deschain. I could be wrong... heck, I thought that Zieg was the only guy with his name mentioned, and only indirectly (i.e. as a boss, his name appears as Zieg Feld). 169.229.121.94 20:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unencyclopedic?

A lot of this article is awfully opinionated. For example, "...the brave and skilled swordsman Dart Feld, the young and confident teenage girl Shana, the friendly but serious Lavitz Slambert..." Not that I don't agree with most of what's said, but is there any concrete evidence that Lavitz is friendly but serious? The whole article seems awfully unencyclopedic to me. Ravenwolf Zero 19:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Very large story section

The story section needs to be deeply condensed, and hopefully we can get some other information on the reception or other aspects of the game? Andrewcarreiro 04:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It's pretty poorly written, as well...I understand I should fix it myself, but it's 3 in the morning, so I'll try to remember tomorrow. Lots of grammar, spelling and sentence construction errors.

I agree that the story section is too long. its one thing to explain the story another entirely to tell the entire story. It takes up alot of space and doesnt make the page any better, spoiler tags would help but it really needs condensing. A Music should have a proper section== A few things here.. Actually, a lot of things. ==

One inssue is the amssive writeup of the entire story, and from what I recall, there weren't correctly used Spoiler Tags. That needs to be fixed, but I don't really knowhow to use Spoiler tags(Yes, I just can't figure these things out).

Also, there's no mention of the music, or who composed it. I'm not sure where to place it but in these things I got, it says all the soings were written up by Dennis Martin. There is a total of 50 songs on a site which carries only game music, though. I will not name it due to it would probably get me in trouble. There's a new world map song for each disc, each character that's somewhat important has a theme, and there are seperate themes for most areas in the game.

So yeah, I know this information should be added, but I don't think I should be the one adding or editing it. comment was added by SBKT (talk • contribs) 16:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

Could someone try to move the story to its own article? I don't know how....169.229.121.94 20:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

The plot summary seems about the right length to me so I've removed the {{plot}} tag. --Tony Sidaway 11:12, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
