Should you play Legend of Legaia?

Pros & Considerations

Battles

Entering directional strikes discovers Arts, turning a command-based JRPG into something closer to building fighting-game strings

Normal Arts generate AP while Hyper and Miracle Arts spend it, creating a clear rhythm between setup and burst damage

Systems

Seru can be absorbed and summoned as magic, so enemy encounters also expand the spell collection

Story

Restoring regions by clearing the Mist gives progression a strong visible impact on towns and NPC life

Music

The subdued field music and heavier battle themes reinforce the game's strange post-apocalyptic atmosphere

◇Consider

Encounters: Random-battle frequency can make some dungeons grindier than the battle system itself deserves
