- 11,000 years ago, a harsh war was fought between Winglies and Humans. The Winglies were well versed in the ways of magic and oppressed all other races on Endiness. However, the anger of both man and dragon turned to a flame of fury. Like a wind blowing throughout the lands, spreading flame to a blazing fire, Dragons and people stood together against the Winglies. Thus, the Dragon Campaign began in earnest.
In this video, I delve deep into the history and lore of the Dragon Campaign.
This video contains spoilers for The Legend of Dragoon which was developed by Japan Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

People of culture are about to gather here again..
Dang straight. 😎
Hell ya! ❤❤
Yessir
It's almost criminal that Legend of Dragoon was a single title and not an ongoing JRPG series.
Or at least a re-release. I would love a remastered version of this.
I would literally buy a new console just to play a remake. Imagine fully recorded dialogue? Epic. I'm happy with it being a standalone game, but I would seriously kill for a remake.
I'm still mad the sequel got cancelled
It’s available to play on the PlayStation 5
There were not many loose ends.
This guy not only covered Legacy of Kain, one of my favorite series, but now hes covering Legend of Dragoon, my favorite game ever?!
Absolutely amazing that people still discuss this game in 2024. Makes me smile.
One of my all time favorite games. "You are free to sever the chains of fate that bind you."
Now there's a name of a game I've not seen in a long time. A long time.
Welcome back.
Are you gonna give it another playthrough?
Is so incredible you are doing a deep dive in Legend of Dragoon lore, beginning with the most important event in the game: the Dragon Campaing
This was a nostalgia bomb. One of the first games my mom got for me when I was really little, I had no idea how jrpgs worked, but man it captivated my child brain. I adored the game as I got older and it's one of the factors in what made me love dragons and fantasy to begin with. 🤟
If there ever is a remake, This video should be a necessary watch.
And left in the hands of original creators and writers. Creators that'll show only the utmost respect to it.
This was the game that actually hooked me on JRPGs (Legend of Legaia left a bad taste in my mouth before that).
I would even go on to do an art project for a college course based on LoD. It was Inca History, and we had to make our own quipus (Inca record keeping devices, with certain information indicated by the weft of the fiber, color of thread, pendant threads, and number/types of knots). I was replaying LoD at the time the assignment was issued, and inspiration struck. My quipu highlighted the seven playable characters in the game, with knots and pendant threads detailing particular stats on my save file at the time. Had to deply, reply, and dye the threads myself (took about a week). Got an A on the project, and I think I still have the quipu in a drawer somewhere.
My first PS1 game when I was 5 and later Soul Reaver. Cant believe someone would go balls deep into those lores of my childhood games. Appreciate you
I was just listening to the OST today! Was not expecting my go-to Legacy of Kain lore channel to delve into Legend of Dragoon.
This is exactly what I subscribed to this channel for.
This is S tier content. Thank you for this 🙏🏾
I love how you added the sickest vid in the entire game.. the OG dragoons invading the castle. My god what a great video you made! ❤
the best cut scene never disappoints!!
It’s incredible that to this day, this game connects so much with a lot of my love for gaming since I was a child. I remember finishing the game over and over to hear the ending credits song. ❤ Thank you for this!
This game is a relic of my childhood my big sister and I used to play it together it was one of our favorites it’s nice to know people still remember and appreciate it.
I see The Legend Of Dragoon is gonna get the Legacy of Kain treatment....AN IM HERE FOR ALL OF IT. This. Channel really goes deep on its researchs and story and lore I LOVE it. And knowing this game is gonna get that treatments gimme goosebumps.... Can't wait for the rest of it 💪🏽.
Belzak holding a collapsing building up with an arm through his chest. The story still fire.🏢🏋🏹💥
Such an awful way to go out.
@@gjtrue Yea but Shirley seemed like she was worth it. Noble endins.
Legend of Dragoon was one of my favorite games growing up. I had no idea this game existed
I really enjoy the games you choose and the way you tell the stories 🙌🏽 keep it up
Very glad you decided to cover this game, please keep going with it!
I've enjoyed your content for quite some time, not sure if I've ever commented, though.
Keep up the good work, sir!
There are so many great memories with this game, and I can't wait for more lore.
Glad to see a gem of a game get even a spec of more attention. Thank you very much!
I love this Game soooo much!!!
... and this Video is such a great work! Thanks so much ❤
So glad you made another...ugh...I missed it
I played this game as an inattentive teen. Thank you for making it digestible. :3
Can't wait to watch this later. Also first comment
Ty for talking about this lost gems! Games like Legacy of Kain and Legend of Dragoon, should never be forgotten. I wish we had games like this for this generation. 🔥
Tgank you for the LOD series man, i love it. There is way to little content on youtube about this little masterpiece. You did a great job!
This game deserves a remake.
We should probably wait till _after_ DEI/ESG/BRIDGE is no longer an issue. Otherwise, we'd risk them tainting the IP, like everything else these days.
@@Xbalanque84 True, I meant without all that in it.
Be very careful what you wish for.
Look at what happened to FF7.
@@lucascoval828 What's wrong with FF7? I've heard only good things about it.
@@jeggsonvohees2201 I enjoyed it myself but I'm very divided on the Remake outright altering events from the original. That and changing story, character, and in-universe things due to possibly being "problematic" for modern audiences and other nonsense. For example, read up on the whole Honey Bee Inn thing with Tifa and Aerith. Really is some eyerolling stuff.
I had been all nostalgic over this game again and busted out the PSX to play earlier...And here I find a fun video detailing the Dragon Campaign?
Love the video, nice presentation, and a decent pacing allowed for it to be a comfortable listen in the background. Keep up the good work.
Kongol bro. His ass was NEEDED on some of those boss fights. Merlu was super useful too
"I had a dream that I could fly..."
That song is amazing.
Great job on this!
An absolutely fantastic listen! And on a game that deserves to have more eyes on it too.
Well done
One good thing about this game is you can buy it on ps5 for ten bucks
Need to see more of this. Loved this game back in its early days
It's amazing that the Divine Dragon was so powerful that even the Winglies of old, whom magical power were FAR more potent in the past, could at best seal the mighty beast away. As it was one of the very few entities that could threaten Melbu Frahma's rule. And even then it seemed the Winglies magic and the Dragon Block staff just barely kept it in check over the millennia. Also seeing Michael literally rip apart a Virage and annihilate several others with a single attack of his laser really emphasizes how extremely formidable dragons and the Dragoons were alike.
I'd love to see a new game set during the Dragon Campaign and the former Dragoons, and possibly others during that era we don't even know about, as the main characters. But no, not yet given how much of a mess the gaming industry is at the moment. Maybe wait another 10 to 15 years when hopefully everything/enough as course corrected and isn't a inflated, censorship-happy "politically correct" mess. For now, just please leave TLoD alone...
Amazing video, thank you for making it!
I can't give you enough 👍 up's. I enjoy your content. Keep it up! Thank's alot!
thank you for your service
when the lore is so fleshed out that the game itself is a sequel, God bless i miss these days. Nowadays it's "bad man gained power, kill bad man, game over... oh also there's cool tech"
thx pal, really good video
Omg thanks for this!
Loved it! You got my sub
Keep up the good work bro.
I know nothing about this title but you make it sound fun. I'll be waiting to learn more about it :)
Play the game! You'll thank yourself for it.
Such a criminally underrated game. It's funny. I love the classic Final Fantasy games, and the Dragon Quest franchise. But there's just something about obscure JRPGs that always caught my attention. Skies Of Arcadia Legends was another one.
nice video!
I really hope if they ever make a legend of dragoon game based on the dragon campaign, the ending includes Damia's father accepting the moon gem, as a nod to Alberts story that he said only members of the royal family of serdio know.
Heyo, thanks for making the video! I've gotta provide one correction to keep the lore straight: Platinum hair is rare among Winglies. Lloyd and Meru have it, but most Winglies have white hair.
I always been a legend of dragoon fan this game is legendary
Loved this game as a kid. Wish it had got a sequel or a prequel at some point back in the day.
Fascinating as always. I would venture a slight disagreement regarding the Gigantos; judging by Kongol's general behavior, I tend to think the third person stuff is more an incomplete mastery of human language, and he is more intelligent than he appears.
That aside, it never occurred to me that the Dragons were humanity's willing allies, as opposed to extremely powerful servants. In retrospect, I should have thought of it, if only because a Dragoon Spirit chooses its master. Which raises the question, why DID the Divine Dragon recognize Dart?
Can't wait for the next installment.
Well, Dart IS the one who defeated it.
@@barubary436 Only partially; it was Lloyd who finished the job.
@@1Tekkaman Indeed, he jumped in and got the spirit first. Dart got it once he was beat by the final boss. Does the Divine Spirit always side with the strongest perhaps? Maybe it also had something to do with Dart already having the Red-eye Spirit at the time.
Minintos have a quick wit? Mr Pelpee was a bit thick getting scammed into buying an over-priced ticket in Lohan. I'd say they are genial and amusing conversationalists if he is anything to go by when we see him next in Donau.
this video is good.
Great video! Thanks as always. Would really love a remake or remaster of this game, as of right now I don't think there's any way to play it besides emulators.
Would you consider creating more documentary type content for underrated games like Dot Hack?
We are marching again
Taking about Nupraptor a character from Legacy of Kain
Best game of all time!
So why did Kanzas kill his own dragon and where was Damia and Emperor Diaz during the Battle of Edessa? This is why we need a prequel. Or a remake.
Love this game, the thought at time Final Fantasy killer.
to me it was. I never got into final fantasy until the ninth installment.
I forgot how bad the voice acting was in this game. Still...tons of details I missed. Very fond memories of this one.
Where did you get this HD video??
well well well...
if they remade Final Fantasy, they need to redo this as well
VOLCANO!
I wonder what the other 102 species born from the Divine Tree. I know about the Humans, Winglies, Gigantos, Minatos and Dragons. But what about the other species? Were they the Orcs, Goblins, Merfolk, Gargoyles, Dark Elves, Gnomes, Fairies, Trolls, Feline like Centaurs and other forms of wild life such as chipmunk raptors, giant aardvarks that are called horses from some reason, six horned rhino bull things, mammoths, wolves with a unicorn horn, birds, fish, manticores, triceratops, unicorns and other mythological creatures? What was the 96th species that went extinct? Most of all, how is the Virage Embryo or God of Destruction consider a species at all? It’s just a giant embryo the size of a moon meant to birth the God of Destruction and regenerated the world of Endiness after its destruction. What about the Virages themselves? They seemed like a species despite the fact that they were born from the Virage Embryo. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the Virages to be the 108th Species and the God of Destruction as their leader and the Virage Embryo itself is on giant fruit? Speaking of which, how could all of the races, including the Humans, Winglies, Gigantos, Minatos and Dragons be born from a simple fruit?
I take the whole 108 fruit creation story as I do all creation stories. Sort of like a parable to make something known that is otherwise unknown. There's probably a lot more that species of this world are simply unaware of, like how even today in our world are not 100% sure how we got here, and so invent creation myths to explain it. Somehow it would correlate. We see the literal tree in game, so there's some truth to it, but obviously not every species can be out into a mere 108. So maybe there's a lot more to be explored.
@@sambarger3339 If this game's sequel wasn't cancelled. we could have known a lot more about the other 102 species as well as the 96th species that went extinct. There's also the lands east of Endiness, the lands that Dart has travelled to during his search for the Black Monster. There's also some landmasses that's west of Endiness that are connected to the islands of the Rouge Tribes.
if you were on the moon, notice that there are individuals of the same species in the eggs and outside moving about.
@@RoseNZieg Eggs? You mean Fruit?
Most all the other fruits are the monsters in respect to their species, seen throughout the storyline.
This game needs a remake more then any other game from the past.
Choose happiness every day. 😃
