My mom bought Legaia for my sister and I when I was only 8 or 9. I remember absolutely loving it, but getting destroyed in the early game at Drake Castle. It was the first game like it that I had played and had no clue what I was doing. Years later I revisited it and played it through to the end. The characters and monsters you see along the way make it unique and fun. I continue playing it every year on an emulator on my phone and laptop. It is a game that I would love to see in modern day graphics. What a great game.
My parents got me this game when I was around 8 or so and from the moment I put it in my PlayStation I was captivated. It was unlike anything I had ever seen or experienced at the time. I even remember setting my alarm at 3 in the morning so I could get extra play time before school. This game is the origin to my journey into JRPGs and my interest in Japan. Without this game I never would’ve aspired to travel and work there and subsequently travel the world. I recently beat it again and still think it holds up well. Would LOVE a remake! I still have the original discs and will never sell them. This game is a GEM and one of my favorites of all time!

Bought the game because the Kid in me Loved Rpgs and it had multiple disc so I assumed it would be great. One of the best turn based rpg's I've ever played loved every moment of it.
Was lended this game by a friend for a few days and loved the battle system so much I had to go and rent it from Blockbusters! The system was unique and hasn't been replicated since, it's a shame the creator died because another game is yearned for.
One of the "golden" entries in the golden era of RPGs. Also quite possibly one of the most fun I had playing an RPG back then. To stand out amongst the other titans was a great accomplishment for this little game. The combat is by far the greatest appeal of Legaia for me, the incredible world-building and settings. A perfect combination of things that made kid me enthralled with every little detail. Of all the games of the era this one is most memorable for some reason. The combat, the music, characters, environments. Another classic I sincerely hope gets preserved and maybe remastered!
This was a classic I had to chase down. I first played it when my oldest brother was renting it from a blockbuster. Got to the end of the first village's story and then we were done visiting that night. From there it was going to local game stores for months until I finally found a copy. And this became a favorite. A phenomenal story. Extremely well designed. And a game that truly deserves permanent status as an archived classic. I still have the PS1 game CIB. Sadly, it's too old and skips. So, it's just for the memories now. I will play it, stream it, and just keep the nostalgia alive. [A graphics patch wouldn't hurt. But I will take what I can get.]

Bought a PS1 off of a classmate that was selling it for w33d money, and this was one of the two games that he gave me for it. This was back in 2000, and to this day it remains my favourite video game of all time, and deserves a full remake.
My mom and dad used to play it. Not that often, but often enough for me get hooked on it's awesome art style and mechanics. At around the age of 8 or so I started playing myself, but I didn't know a word of English so it was challenging. I got stuck at the Dr. Usha research center because i didnt understand the fact i had to input the secret code in the pipe 😭 couple of years later i finally understood and could finish the whole game and cried at the end

Finding this game and its Prima guide book in a bin at a store my mom was shopping at when I was just a kid. It started a lifelong love of RPGs of all sorts that persists to this day. Hell, I've designed and published RPG material now and I've got more WIP. This game was so fun, so uniquely engaging, and amazingly still holds up nearly 3 decades later.

The game changes large parts of the storyline in Episode 1 while following the elements established in the original game. This includes adding new characters and changing how some scenarios play out. Changes in Episode 2 were much larger as the main character perspective of the game was switched from Jr. to Shion to match up with Episode 1 and 3. Some characters are removed from the story or have their fates changed or revealed. Some dungeons are removed, edited, or replaced. It also answers some questions that the original did not as you follow a different path through the same overall story. It also changes the combat mechanics of Episode 2 to match Episode 1.
