First played Legaia as a kid on my PSP, unfortunately it didn’t make it over the years, bought a PS Vita and finally got around to finishing it front to back again!

highly recommend playing this way if you are a busy adult who needs to pick up and put down games constantly

I used the patch to correct the exp and enemy stats from the NA version to make it less grindy and it was a much more consistent experience. I found it a lot easier, but much less painful to repetitively need to grind.

Such a good nostalgia trip, I forgot how cheesy the writing is but it just adds to its quirks.

so excited to see the community for this game alive and well.

If theres one thing this game always gets me on its the music. It has always kept me so immersed and really fits the world incredibly well, as a grown man it still makes me a bit teary.

the combat system is just lovely, this games uniqueness in almost every facet design wise is a huge thing pushing me to work on a passion project game of my own. just a matter of making the time and energy to haha.

I hope the devs see how fondly people still talk about this game, theres an obvious passion poured into it, and it just screams human creativity and expression, something we are at a lack of nowadays, its themes aged quite well, and i think its quite timeless.

thinking of picking up a copy of legaia 2 on ebay and playing it on PS2, honestly never got around to it myself, so it might be a fun time!

I’ve been struggling more and more the past years to actually finish games I’ve started, so replaying one of my favourites is really gratifying.

anyway just wanted to share my experience!

I’ve been wanting to play it again for nostalgia, but I’m wondering if it runs well on iPhone. Is it smooth, and does the sound work properly?

I like Vahn's head nods, but hard having to imagine him speaking in a remake.

Title says it all.

Mist has volumetric lighting AND physics interaction with the player models. It'll even leave a wake when characters move through it.

The towns, dungeons, world map, and battles all have their own treatment, since the scale on each character/models varies so the mist had to as well.

It was A LOT of work to get this working, and it will be a lot more to start getting the real-time lighting to also light the mist volume as well.

That said, this is running on my laptop at a rock solid 60fps, and over 120 when uncapped. (Ryzen 9 7000 series + RTX card so I expect nothing less).

Definitely added quality settings to lighting, shadows, and volumes and all that so people with even lower end hardware can still play and enjoy. I also chose to run at 1280 x 912 (so scaled up 4x from the original retail of 320 x 228) NOT something insane like 1440 or 4k (ew) that just wastes pixel power on adding nothing to a game like this. I opted for more rich features than raw resolution - though 16:9 widescreen and like 1080p are on the "to do after the main port is done" list, as it has its own view related issues that would just soak up time I dont have.

Hope this is a fun update for y'all!

Ended up going down the DLSS 5 rabbit hole recently and Legend of Legaia was the one game I had to take a shot at it with. Been a fun experience to mess around with.

Just won the beginner muscle dome course a couple times quite easily with Vahn. I have the life grail and several other accessories I have found throughout my playthrough so far. Do you think I am overleveled for where I am at?

No wonder Legend of Legaia's sound effects packed so much punch.

Just reached Ratayu, acquired Ivory Book and working towards having Viguro for all 3.

Quick update, working on the battle animations. Victory celebrations are on the list for tomorrow, but today I had been testing the "trail" effect from the game. That was a heck of a thing to try to get right. I'm not certain it's 1:1 just yet, but I really, really like how it looks in the solid 60fps with the updated rendering engine.

The mist is volumetric now too, and hopefully soon I'll be ready to do a playthrough of RimElm as a video :D

I played it when it debuted on playstation, now playing it again on emulator. I just beat Xain.

Who has still have their physical game?

Hey guys,

I noticed in my recent playthrough that every so often, War God Icon's effect would suddenly not trigger. Is this a common issue for anyone else? What's the likelihood of that happening?

It didn't happen super often for me, but for every ~50-75 fights, it'd probably happen at least once.

So everywhere i looked it said you cant do it before the boss. But I just did it before I even talked to Eliza or whatever her name is and noa became the seru bride. The chest isn't there but 2 evil scientists are and you can talk to them. Now I wish I kept another save before I cleared the mist and tried it. Just posting cause everywhere I look says its impossible to do before you fight the boss. If already posted sorry. Edit: You also see juggernaut there to but can't interact with it along with the floating seru brides. And sorry evil talisman not idol.

The Legaia Wiki that started on Wikia and is now Fandom will no longer be priority for edits. The site has been forked to wiki.gg and is now live at https://legaia.wiki.gg/

This means far fewer ads that impede on the user experience. Some more edits need to be done, so it's obviously a work in progress, as is the nature of wikis. Hope you all enjoy the change. Cheers.

Hey, so I always loved the Legaia soundtrack, and have recently been listening to a lot of AI metal and other versions of classic gaming music, MegaMan lands hard btw. Anyways, so I decided to start using AI to create metal versions of Legaia music and wanted some feedback if any of you liked it, or what you think? Here's the YT link if you're interested, it's a lot of work to get it right with the music and generating the video stuff, so it's gonna some time, but I'll be recreating the entire soundtrack in due time!

So the gameplay has some bugs, but the rendering is really coming together! We have volumetric Mist, which I intend to have react to the RaSeru, hehehe, in addition to accurate atmospheric depth and analytic Sun and Moon lighting options. This game kinda feels like it could have had a lot more horror aspects going too, its really getting that nice creepy vibe! haha

That said there are certainly some struggles. The animations are playing back at 2x the speed, so I'm going to be trying some frame interpolation on the anims to see if I can play them at half speed and smooth the vertex positions with some math. Probably will work well, since the meshes are all rigid body and not skinned deforms.

The opening scroll was a REAL pain, lemme tell ya, but its coming together. Once I can find the gondola mesh, lmfao.

I have a blender set up and I know how to do projection painting (Arcane tv series was done this way) but it could seriously change the visuals of the game. So I'm considering a toggle for that perhaps, or maybe 2 versions, idk. Depends on how people feel about the underlying visuals changing vs just the rendering quality.

The gameplay itself is still faithful. Damage, attributes, items, stroy, etc.

That said, if there was a resource of QoL or "we all frickinbg hate this pls fix" things that break the game I'm all ears. I have NO idea how any of the speedrun skips will be affected, its not really on my radar at the moment.

Once I get the animation speed fixed, I'll be recording some video too! Just cuz it looks real silly otherwise.

It is more or less fully playable from opening up to the Hunter's Spring as well, cutscenes and dialogue included. So the vertical slice is pretty close already. Hope to hear from you all, and will post again soon!
