I myself believe this game to be above most RPG's. I myself don't normally play them, but this one caught my eye. I just loved the Dragoon transformations and their magic. In my opinion, I'd have to say that this game is better than any Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Parasite Eve game. I've played them all, and they are very boring. I'll admit, LOTD is kinds corny, but look at games that are coming out now. Super Mario Sunshine???? What kind of bogus game is that. They need to retire Mario. In all, this games is one of the better RPG's to come out.
