The Legend of Dragoon

Have you played The Legend of Dragoon?
What are your favourite cutscenes?
Dart is travelling to his hometown when he is attacked by a dragon. He is saved by Rose, who informs Dart that the Sandora army has attacked the town. As he arrives he discovers that the town has been destroyed and his childhood friend Shana has been taken to a prison.

After rescuing Shana with the help of Lavitz, King Albert sends the party to defend the fort-city of Hoax. During a surprise attack, Dart gains the ability to transform into a Dragoon. With the fort safe, the party travels to Lohan where they meet Lloyd and discover that he kidnapped King Albert and took the Moon Gem from him, an ancient artifact held by the Royal Family. The king is rescued, but Lloyd escapes with the Moon Gem, killing Lavitz in the process. The party discovers that Lloyd is gathering similar artifacts held by royalty across the continent and while the party tries to reverse his work, Lloyd obtains all three of the artifacts. Dart and the party defeat Lloyd, who agrees to take them to Emperor Diaz.

Diaz reveals that during the Wingly reign 10,000 years ago a creature called the Virage Embryo, also known as the God of Destruction, came to the world to end all other life. Before it could be born, the Winglies used their magic to separate its body from its soul and cast the body into the sky, where it became the Moon That Never Sets. They sealed the moon with magical Signets placed in each of the Wingly cities to prevent the soul and body from reuniting. The soul of the God of Destruction was originally placed inside the Crystal Sphere, which was worn by the Wingly ruler Melbu Frahma to increase his power. The Crystal Sphere was shattered when Dragoons attacked the Wingly capital of Kadessa.

I played it to like the second disc some years ago. It was incredible but I got stuck and just never finished it. I still would rank it pretty highly among JRPGs.

I don't remember a cutscene in particular.

I watched my friend play some of it while I was at his house in highschool. I eventually bought it a year or two ago with a gift card I was given to a local retro game store. Unfortunately, I still haven't played it. I don't afford myself much time to play video games these days, with the occasional exception for something I'm really excited about playing.

I got this game for surprisingly cheap from a pawn shop in Burbank a few years back. Got around to finally trying it out. Turns out the first disc has some sort of defect. The game will play up to the first fight, but the fight never loads, it just plays the battle music and the camera spins forever and ever. Tried resurfacing, tried playing it in different consoles, nothing has worked.

Sadness.

I'm pretty sure I have a copy. If only because I've got a 'Legend of Dragoon' strategy guide here. Even I am not so diseased that I'd buy a strategy guide for a game I don't own. That would be pretty weird.
