Well I like the music for the music. I love how many of the tracks are orchestral; it sets a very pleasant mood... not sure how to describe it. It's definitely different than your normal game soundtrack, and it shines because the composer does it well. The tracklist is a tad short (they keep reusing songs over and over) but I still haven't gotten sick of any of the tracks. Unlike most RPGs, I enjoy listening to nearly all the tracks when not playing the game.

Perhaps it's because I play classical piano that I can appreciate this type of music a bit more... I loved Symphonia's orchestral opening, but the majority of people complained that they wanted Starry Heavens.

I really dislike the orchestral opening for Legendia though. It's BOOORRIIINGG.

Would be nice if they could redo all the ToP musics the symphony orchestra way... since a majority of tracks in there are string based...

I wouldn't say I dislike it, but it does get a little tedious when its on for too long. Too bad they didn't bring over DAI's TAO theme.

The music has its moments though, like Legaia 2: Duel Saga. Some pieces are awesome and just good to tune in with.

If you ask me, some FF music are repeated over and over again with some minor variations. Now that's something I can't really stomach.

Now currently at Norma's quest. Yeah, "bubbles" would be appropriate.
Spoiler:
Never even crossed my mind that she was a polar opposite when her master Sven was alive.


And could somebody clarify for me Will's story?

Spoiler:
So he came to the Legacy and took Amelia with him and has ben branded a criminal, Amelia and Will at field of flowers and name a flower on their daughter. Did I miss something very important?

In response to your question about Will's CQ:

Spoiler:
This is off the top of my head so not sure if I remmeber everything correctly. Will falls in love with Amelia, but her father tries to seperate them. He tells her to run off with him to the Legacy. She agrees and her father (who is apparantly a very rich and important man) wanted will to be punished, and I think executed because of "kidnapping" his daughter. Somewhere during this time Amelia gives birth to their child too. Amelia asks her father not to be too harsh so instead Will gets exiled to the Legacy. Amelia eventually dies, and will blames himself a bit because he thinks taking her to the Legacy was one of the things that led to her weakened state. The flower field was their favorite place, and I guess they just wanted to name the new flower they found the same as their daughter. Not really much to explain about the field scenes actually. Either way this is from pure memory of about 3 weeks ago so I could be wrong about some things, but I believe i'm close.


I would say Chloe had the best CQ if it weren't for:

Spoiler:
Stingle (who was a bad ass boss fight) ending up being a complete good guy, and Chloe just forgives him, and acts like they're friends. This is just as stupid as Mauritz's 360 personality shift.

Thanks.

Now I'm in Norma's quest and so far, I see is melodrama. Seriously, this needs to go. The melodrama thing.

Spoiler:
I also bought the artbook for Legendia. Hooray for more computerized imaging than actual artwork! Why in the world are there more polygons than pencil shades? WHAT IS THIS ARTBOOK?!

Edit. Norma's giving up.. "hay guyz im givn up alrdy cuz i cna fnd it. d evrlyt i mena" thing that's grating on my nerves. Hooray. I hopes this picks up. Really.

I've had this game for quite some time now, but i dont know it didnt do the same attraction as ToS, I've rather play Shadow Hearts 3 but i was just wondering how is the ending of the game? is it good? is it epic?

Manny Biggz Mar 26, 2006 11:57 PM

The game is quite epic in itself. The ending I wouldn't call Epic, but it wraps everything up nicely, and leaves just about no loose ends. Only thing really left out in the open is:

Spoiler:
Who hired the ninja's to kidnap Shirley? Also the whole tense situation about the lower continents wanting to use the Legacy as a weapon for themselves.

No one did. It was of their own will to give to the highest bidder.

I haven't heard much praise for Legendia, so I'm rather worried about picking it up to play after my final exams are over. Most posts here are supportive of the game (well, what else would I expect?), and well, I will take all your words for it rather than IGN's 7.7 review. I kind of wish I didn't play Symphonia first, as I'm sure that will have an effect on my impession of Legendia - since Symphonia is widely considered to be superior to Legendia in many aspects (although that is still entitled to opinion).

yangxu Apr 11, 2006 02:10 AM

One thing Symphonia can't overdo Legendia is its voice acting... Legendia has SUPERB VA this time around, Namco really hired some good people to do a spetacular job at it. That factor alone boosts up my over impression with the game.

Ashram Apr 11, 2006 07:32 AM

Well, I liked the game a lot more than the other Tales-games released in the US (mind you, I haven't played Symphonia). The storyline is standard-stuff for an rpg, but I found the characters very well developed. That's something a lot of recent rpg's seem to miss. In Legendia, a lot of time is spent on the personalities and the interaction between eachother. Very good stuff.

Rei no Otaku Apr 14, 2006 02:51 PM

I just finished Chloe's CQ and I despise Stingle...

Spoiler:
I'm sorry, but I don't care about how nice of a guy he is now. The man was a murderer, and helped Vaclav kill countless more people. Just because it was for Elsa doesn't magically make it right. He killed Chloe's parents right in front of her to steal their money. So all of a sudden we'll just let him go without a slap on the wrist because his daughter was sick? Pure BS. Chloe had a damn good reason to want him dead, and he deserved to die. I found it very hypocrtical of Senel to say what he said when he made sure he got to kill Vaclav.

Xellos Sep 20, 2006 06:53 PM

Hmm just finished the game, and noticed the soundtrack has a lot of songs missing, and a lot of songs were orchestrated in the OST that weren't in the game. I honestly prefer the ones you heard in the game.

Anyway, is there a Legendia rip somewhere that has everything? the actual in-game version songs and the missing songs?

It shouldn't be too hard to rip, because the guy in the inn who plays the piano can play most, if not all songs in the game.

Any info appreciated.
