So finished FFXII....onto The Legend of Dragoon

I rather liked Legend of Dragoon.  I'll admit, the first two disks are a bit of a slog, but disks 3 and 4 are really good.  This is one game that starts kinda meh, but ends really well.  http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/The_Legend_of_Dragoon/index.html

Just got on to the second disc and so far this game is awesome. Their is something about it....I mean the story is not complicated which I like and the gameplay is just so fun. I think one of the problems with RPG's of this generation and the last one is that they try to make themselves so complicated that either I have no idea what's going on or they try to be so original and different that it's just dumb. Both gameplay and story wise and the games of the playstation generation and before it were just great. The game so far isn't too difficult except for some boss fights but the game isn't too easy it's a nice balance

My issue with LoD is that the additions are finicky and require hair-trigger precise timing.  And, yeah, some of the bosses can be brutal.  Grand Jewel for example.

Yeah this game was fun in the beginning really started to like it and the gameplay especially. Then my second disc wasn't working at a certain spot so I stopped until a friend let me borrow his copy of the game. Started playing again and it's getting kinda....not convoluted just dumb I guess is the word lol Especially after Dart looses his Dragoon gem thing and the party has to retrieve it. Then all the backtracking through previous visited dungeons....I mean why couldn't they let the character walk over them if he has already visited them. It's like walking along a very long line (Even though I liked FFXIII) the lenus fight just made it worse with her running away after the battle
