There is no way in heck that LoD is better than Grandia, much less Xenogears. I have played and finished the 3 games, and LoD is clearly the worst title. LoD had its shot at greatness and had the advantage of being a late gen PS1 game and a freakishly large budget. It still ranked as an average RPG when it released, because that is what it was. You are not the first person I have met that loved the game, I had a neighbor that thought the game as awesome, as it was his first and only JRPG that he had played. But for those of us how played every RPG that there was to play in the 90s and early 00's, LoD just felt mundane. It's best character was Rose, but everything else was cliched and copied from other games that came before it. Save for a few tracks even the music was pedestrian.

I think you quoted the wrong person.

Anyway, as I said several times I was never discussing which game was better than which, to me LoD would be better than the whole Final Fantasy franchise, that's pointless to discuss, the same way you think otherwise.

What I'm pointing from the beginning is that The Legend of Dragoon is a classic weither someone likes it or not, as it sparks as much if not more interest as those other games people point me as classics.

Please tell me what is pedestrian from its soundtrack, or its story as you mentioned before, that I can't tell you the same about a game from that era that you consider better than it.

Its fun to see people judge LoD as an odd egg when the same eggs at layed all out their basket.

LoD story progression quality is rarely seen in the FF from that era, for example, FF7 as the major candidate of a story that is all over the place and very confusing, even for itself, it needed several other games and medias to try to explain it better, not because it was so good, but because it was so confusing. And don't let me get started about FF8 story.

Then we don't see people pointing I can't say FF8 is a classic because its story was a mess, or its gameplay system was extremely confusing, or its main chars are nit the brightest. But it has a 90 MC score because its Final Fantasy 7 sucessor, so its fine.

Final Fantasy games from that era have outstanding soundtracks indeed, but LoD went for a very different kind of OST, instead of grandiose it was grounded down.

I can for sure understand why would most people preffer FF music, its undenayable extremely good, that doesn't mean LoD is pedestrian, tho.

Fun fact, my favorite FF is 12, which OST is probably the most overlooked from the franchise, and its full blown epic focused. All over it.

But if LoD does something similar to some other game its pedestrian because its too much FF (as if all games don't do something similar to other games), and if it does something different its also pedestrian because its not FF enough.

Its ok if you think its average or even bad, and if I think its the better game ever made, people have different tastes afterall, but that's not what I'm disputing here, at all.

Its also ok if one don't think its a classic, a good bunch of other people do and are still interested on it after 20 years of it going radio silent from just a single game.

I would say the two most impressive facts of people still talking and remembering this game is that it isn't a series but a single release and the studio didn't keep making JRPGs. So it must have be very deep in the heart of several fans.
