The Legend of Dragoon
The Legend of Dragoon is a Japanese-style RPG, visually reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII (pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D characters and battle scenes, CG animations to advance the story). Battle mechanics follow the traditional turn-based prototype, with a few additions such as critical attacks dependent on precise timing, and "dragoon" transformations, which allow access to powerful techniques. Game progression is largely linear, with the "world map" replaced by locations represented as connected dots.

About This Game
A peaceful beginning. The legend was born 10,000 years ago. Then came a violent uprising, as a civilization of flying creatures enslaved the human race — and a bloody war, in which humanity harnessed the spiritual power of Dragons to win its freedom, ushering in an age of harmony among all. But now the past and the future are about to collide. Dart, a brave and loyal swordsman, has sworn to avenge his parents' deaths by destroying a mysterious black monster. When the Sandora Empire burns down his village and imprisons his childhood friend Shana for reasons unknown, Dart sets out at once to rescue her — only to discover that her kidnapping is merely the tip of a far grander and more sinister plot, one bound up with ancient spiritual powers and the destruction of humankind itself. Unveil a fantasy of magnificence, deception, and magical combat, and unleash the spirit of the Dragoons to discover your destiny.
