I've never played either of these classic RPG's and I need a new psx game to play on my tablet.

I'd love to hear from someone who's played both of them.


PSX games I like:

Valkyrie Profile
FF IX (but not as over the moon as many people are about it)
Panzar Dragoon (yes, I know Sega Saturn but it's awesome enough to include here)
Lunar (1,2)


PSX games I didn't like:

Xenogears
FF 7
Vagrant Story

Legend of Dragoon was released to act as VII's "rival" as far as the early 3D/PSX stage went; though having two completely different storylines and Dragoon having a more "experimental" battle system, they still sort of have the same feel. I think Grandia would be a better fit because of your fondness for the Lunar series.

No contest legend of dragoon.
Going to d/l now thx for recommendation.

At first I was like




But then I was like.....



I'll just get em both and play grandia first.

Interesting. From the games that you like, and don't like, it's hard to make a recommendation.

Valkyrie Profile is my favorite RPG of all time, but neither LOD or Grandia really compare in atmosphere. Grandia brings more of a childish perspective to the RPG, but it's done very well. I haven't beaten the whole game, so I can't comment on the entire plot, but that was feel I got from it. LOD is more of a teen vibe, for lack of a better term. LOD is definitely a very enjoyable playthrough, the combat is interesting, the story has a few twists(especially the ending), I'd recommend LOD any day of the week.

I find it interesting you like Valkyrie Profile, but not Vagrant Story though, was it the combat system? I actually thought they gave off very similar vibes(from what I played of Vagrant Story).

Legend of dragoon is one the best rpgs ive ever played! so awesome. reminded me alot of final fantasy 7. worth playing for sure

The Norse mythology, bright colors, and sprite based drawings caught me from the very opening of Valkyrie Profile. I'm not an enormous fan of the combat in Vagrant Story (although I do think it's innovative) ARPG's rely on graphics far more than turn based (or whatever Valk Profile is). I'm typically not one to harp on the graphics of an rpg, but I think it really hurts Vagrant Story.

Now that being said, I should probably give the game another spin as I never finished it in the first place. Perhaps I was a little over zealous in stating that I didn't like it outright. I probably should have said I'm not interested in any ARPG/dungeon crawlers.

Grandia's story is a bit juvenile for my taste.

you dislike ff7.

please dont post about rpgs again.

thats like saying you didnt like super mario rpg

VII's mediocre at best. Godforbid people hold different opinions than your own.
