Is Legend of Dragon good? I always wanted to play it and now i think i will be able to. I know the fighting system resembles xenogear's deathblows so that should be fun. Is this the one thats a terrible dungeon crawler? Could I be any more off topic?
if you've played any of the Shadow Hearts games, LoD's addition system is more akin to Shadow Hearts' judgment ring as it's all a matter of timing to inflict maximum damage. whereas Xenogears' Deathblow is alot like Legend of Legaia's Arts system.
the characters and story are good. it's a pretty length game (heck, four disc's with plenty of game-time on each.), the game also has a fair amount of challenge (
the fight against the Grand Jewel and the Divine Dragon are challenge enough.)
it's not a dungeon crawler; there are dungeons- but they're not of nauseating length.
i couldn't finish Xenogears. the story was too convoluted to understand... then i got to Babel Tower, and said "##### this!" as i constantly fell...

Again, I couldnt play DQVIII once, how can you replay it?
very carefully, and out of sheer boredom. truth be told, i'm not going to actually replay DQ8 unless i have no other game to play. and since i bought Lunar 2: Silver Story Complete, going to be a while before i resort to playing my "sheer boredom" list.
all this reminiscing about my favorite PS1 RPG, makes me want to replay my other favorites-
Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, and possibly even Koudelka.
Parasite Eve & Vagrant Story has replay potential, Koudelka just for seeing th scene inwhich
Koudelka gets possessed by the spirit of dead bride and goes all psycho. that was a damn good scene.
