Watching people do blind playthroughs of Legend of Dragoon makes me so happy. I get so giddy to see them react to:
-the return to Hellena
-the Dragon Campaign flashback fmv
-the optional Vellweb sidequest

For the most part, Legend of Legaia’s graphics are very charming. I prefer the look of the battle models to the wandering-about-towns models but it’s similar to Final Fantasy VII in that regard. So, no big.
However, the cartoony (by choice) and clunky (by hardware/software capabilities) models really do some of the plot’s darker elements a disservice.
Spoilers for anyone who hasn’t played the game but is thinking about it…..
The Conkram part of the story? Super dark and would be creepy as hell with modern day graphics and more realistic models. Noa (and CO) rolling up into the town where she’s been told her parents are to find not just them but anyone still alive is actually fused with a monster that has taken over the town?
The pulsing walls, the intentionally unappealing color palette, everything. Especially the moment where the soldiers who are guarding the basement (and are basically conjoined because of the Seru that has taken over the town) realize the queen said you could pass and they split themselves. The rest of the NPCs will still talk to you as long as the town is still there. They don’t, once they do it.
Shit like that is impactful anyway, but with modern visuals? It’d be wonderfully awful.
I know the game wasn’t nearly popular enough to warrant a remake—probably not even a digital remaster, sadly. (Legaia 2 being a dumpster fire didn’t help). But damn. It would be awesome.

YOUTUBE BULLSHIT: a channel I'm subbed to made a really awesome video essay on the retro game "Baroque" made for the Sega Saturn in 1998 -- but because he used the word "murder" in it, YouTube decided to age restrict the video which removes it from searches and recommendations. Basically, YouTube killed any reach his video might have had, and as such he's been forced to reupload it with a sprinkling of tiny audio edits.
Dungeon Chill put a lot of time and effort into this really well crafted video and it must be sooo sore to have YouTube unfairly rip that away -- SO, maybe if cryptic surreal games are up your alley, or if you're into obscure/forgotten games in general, OR if a thoughtful retrospective on Baroque (1998) sounds interesting to you... perhaps you could watch the video, throw in a like, or a possible sub 👉👈🥺 etc.
I'm watching it a second time anyway, because it's genuinely just that good!

thank you for your time and consideration

I love how everyone in Persona 1 just sorta flounders around until their Personas kick in, meanwhile Eriko just immediately busts in with a whole-ass sword
