A nice, traditional-style RPG, Feb 11 2006
By Some Guy - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Legend of Heroes (Video Game)
While The Legend of Heroes doesn't make any truly groundbreaking new innovations in the RPG genre, it is nonetheless a very enjoyable game. Considering the PSP's limited game library and the fact that only a few RPG's exist for it, The Legend of Heroes is one of the only options if you're in the market for an RPG.The game contains a simple, yet fun battle system that's reminiscent of the Arc the Lad series or Lunar in the sense that the player's characters move about the battle screen rather than staying in one location for the duration of the battle.
Sound-wise, the game excels. With an excellent original soundtrack and sound effects, the game is simply outstanding in this sense.
The storyline is fairly good and will keep most players interested throughout the game. Although it's nothing we haven't seen a dozen times before, (unsuspecting boy from small country village leaves home and goes on epic adventure and meets an odd cast of characters along the way) it'll keep your attention for awhile.
Visually, the game is also impressive. The environments are incredibly detailed and quite beautiful. Some nice lighting effects add to the realism of the game as well. The characters themselves are done very well too. Large, detailed, very sharp character sprites are used and they look quite fantastic, especially against the game's amazing environments.
My only major problem with this game, however, is that it seems to have been released a bit prematurely. As a number of other reviewers have said before me, there are various small errors that were overlooked and could have been easily fixed if just a bit more time were spent looking through the game to find them. The game is plagued by bad grammar and missing words, and occasionally in situations where the player is given a choice of what to say in a conversation, (e.g. yes/no option) the player will be given the choices before the question is even asked.
Finally, I completely agree with the reviewer before me who pointed out that the rest of the series really ought to have been released in English. The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is actually the fourth game in the Legend of Heroes series and the second in the Gagharv Trilogy, so it would be great if we could see an English release of the rest of the series (unfortunately, I doubt it'll happen). Aside from these issues, however, the game really is quite well-made.

Good game, despite a few huge flaws., Dec 24 2005
By Michael Fagerstrom - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Legend of Heroes (Video Game)
Legend of Heroes is a good game, but it has a few flaws that are just terrible, and really bring it down. If only Bandai had taken the time to polish it a bit more, it would be a great game.While a bit linear, I found the characters engaging and really looked forward to the next bit of the story as I went through the game. Without spoiling the ending, I thought that the last dungeon was done well, and reminded me of playing Final Fantasy IV or VI.
My major beef with this game is the translation. It is just horrible. There are constant spelling errors, sentences that just don't make sense and words that are just mixed up.
Other minor things bugged me as well... some prompts you are given to select an option have the unfortunate problem of being smaller than the border created to go around them. (This happens when resting in people's homes sometimes) Or another minor flaw is often when someone important speaks, the game colors their text blue... but then the next 10 lines of dialogue from the normal characters are blue as well.
Apart from the sloppiness there, I really did enjoy the game... It was better than I expected it to be.

Awesome Game, Wonderful RPG, Nov 26 2005
By Julian Carrera - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Legend of Heroes (Video Game)
I am tired of people saying this game isn't good and to buy Kingdom of Paradise instead. Why would people say things like that? These two are very different games, and role playing games. One of them is an action RPG... meaning for all those impatient people who want nothing but hack and slashing, that's the game for you. I personally love both games, and would never criticize something like this. Both games came out the same day, just because of that you have to compare them to each other? This is, really a great game... It goes back to being as good as any classic RPG that has been made. Everything that is imagined and needed for how a fantasy should be is done here. I recommend this game to everyone. Everything about it is a challenge.
