The Legend of Dragoon Update Fixes Major PS4, PS5 Problems
An emulated version of the PlayStation classic The Legend of Dragoon that became available on the PlayStation 4 and 5 for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers last week has been patched to fix a number of problems that, according to fans, rendered the game unplayable. JRPG fans that were eagerly anticipating the chance to play The Legend of Dragoon for the first time in over 20 years were dismayed when they were greeted by a series of game-breaking bugs.
The Legend of Dragoon is a turn-based JRPG made by first-party PlayStation developer Japan Studio, which has been responsible for some of the most influential games ever made, including PaRappa the Rapper, Gravity Rush, and the legendary Shadow of the Colossus. Japan Studio released The Legend of Dragoon in Japan in December 1999 and eventually released it in the United States in 2001. While The Legend of Dragoon never quite captured a wide audience, it still developed a small but passionate fan base that had been itching for a legal way to play the game on their modern PlayStation consoles. The recent PlayStation Plus Premium release made that dream finally come true until technical issues sullied the experience.
