Considering it's been a little over a month, I'm finally back with another review for the masses! This time it's on a 'semi-underrated' PS1 RPG from over 2 decades ago, THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON - by Sony, in collaboration with its already-defunct JapanStudio division (merged with Team Asobi)...which took 3 painstaking years to complete thanks to over 100 members under the deft, unswerving direction of Yasuyuki Hasebe.

While it's about more than just a lone wandering mercenary on a 5-year-long search for a rumored "Black Monster" that did away with both his parents and his birth city during childhood; a myth spanning 11 millenniums involves an ongoing war between humanity and a civilization of flying creatures referred to as Winglies, plus other dark-hearted humans & armies in league with them. In a last-ditch effort for freedom & victory, they're left with no other choice but to harness their inner spiritual abilities by transforming into half-dragon warriors by the name of DRAGOONS (hence where the title lies). While tranquility and harmony exist between these all species, the past & future have yet to cross paths with each other.

Quoting the game's tagline, "The journey that seeks the past ends. And the journey to discover today begins. Unleash the spirit of the Dragoons. And discover your destiny." What better way to sum up and/or elaborate THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON than just that?
