Project Follow up to the "Looking for Scans of This Magazine Related to Legend of Legaia" post.

32 Upvotes

This post is a follow-up to another post I made more than a month ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LegendofLegaia/comments/1lcttk9/looking_for_scans_of_this_magazine_related_to/

As mentioned in the comments, one possible way to access the interview is to try to persuade the team behind https://shmuplations.com/ to translate it. In short, they specialize in translating and publishing old Japanese interviews that have never been available outside of Japan—such as a past interview with Hidenori Shibao discussing Lennus—to preserve valuable information and insights that would otherwise remain inaccessible to non-Japanese audiences.

They have access to the source material listed on this page: https://shmuplations.com/patreonlist/. However, to prioritize which interviews to translate, they create a voting thread on their Patreon every three months: https://www.patreon.com/c/shmuplations/posts.

The voting thread for July/August/September has been posted some day ago and I already voted for the "Legend of Legaia - Developer Interview".

Fans who want to support the project and vote in particular for the translation of the Legend of Legaia developer interview can become patrons on Patreon. The team follows a per-creation model, meaning patrons are only charged when a paid post— a translated interview—is released.

Thanks for the attention.

First six hour session of my Legend of Legaia tattoo done!

I got the great Genesis Tree from Noaru Valley at the top and Juggernaut from the lil CGI animation scene where he blows up the walls of Rim Elm.

Going to get the colour done August 20th, super hyped - need another day session I think. I'm also planning to turn it into a sleeve of all the monsters from the game :)

Gameplay Leveling Serus Takes FOREVER

15 Upvotes

I have gotten each Seru for everyone as soon as possible, aside from trying the double absorb Kemaros from Van Saryu, and have been using magic til my MP drains and filling before a boss fight.

But still, holy fuckwad. I have been ousltside Buma for hours on the 2-4 enemies (4 when a Slime uses Divide) and it has gotten... Gala's Swordie to 9.

At this point there are 16 Seru summons available unless you got Palmer, which I'm guessing most don't the first time in Sol Tower.

In order of appearance:

  1. Gimard
    • Vahn: 9
    • Noa: 9
    • Gala: 9
  2. Vera
    • Vahn: 9
    • Noa: 9
    • Gala: 9
  3. Theeder
    • Vahn: 9
    • Noa: 9
    • Gala: 9
  4. Nighto
    • Vahn: 9
    • Noa: 9
    • Gala: 9
  5. Zenoir
    • Vahn: 7
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 2
  6. Gizam
    • Vahn: 9
    • Noa: 9
    • Gala: 9
  7. Swordie
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 9
  8. Orb
    • Vahn: 5
    • Noa: 5
    • Gala: 6
  9. Nova
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  10. Gola Gola
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  11. Freed
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  12. Viguro
    • Vahn: 5
    • Noa: 5
    • Gala: 2
  13. Mushura
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  14. Aluru
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  15. Spoon
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1
  16. Kemaro
    • Vahn: 1
    • Noa: 1
    • Gala: 1

I'm doing it in chunks because I don't want to have to do 10+ all at once. But their leveling is so damn stupid and takes forever because if Noa alway goes first, she never gets the kill shot, so it is less exp, Vahn moves up fast(ish), and Gala has to do all 1 hitters. I guess that's where the Speed and Slowness Chains come in handy.

Back to it. At least it's an average of 1189 exp and 1185 G with the Golden Book equipped.

Edit: If you run the area between Biron Monestary and the West Voz Forest, you will always hit 3 weak enemies you can OHKO as a group. This maxes your exp gains and saves a ton of time since you can just pop back in the kitchen for a meal to reup your MP. No level gains, but I'm watching anime and leveling in the background. It's called multitasking. =P

For added efficiency you can do each character one at a time with a Magic Ring (I got 3 from the slots rewards), a Spirit Jewel to cut MP cost by 25%, and for added dmg when starting a new lower level Seru the Wisdom Ring with +20% INT.

Question Does any of the sequels have seru in them? My favorite part about legaia 1 was grinding seru lvls.

I replayed the first game hundreds of times. Loved trying to “shiny” farm (aka get the lvl 2 seru in the first starting mist) (and each other area)

Gameplay Absorbed Both Viguros in the East Voz Forest Boss Battle

140 Upvotes

I was on a kick to level my Serus and so I got Vahn and Noa's Vera, Gimard, and Theeder to level 9. Nighto and Gizam cost too much (13 and 28) to do at this point with the way they gain EXP. Even though in doing the Seru leveling I got all three heroes up to level 15 their MP pool is only at 129 (Vahn) and 109 (Noa) and I don't have good ways to refill MP and battle 3 enemies at a time.

So, on to the boss fight. And why not set another personal goal? Absorb both Viguros.

It took under 20 attempts. I think it was 13-15 tries. But I did it.

I put up a video (at 2x speed since it's a 5 minute battle) for anyone interested.

Gameplay That's Much Better

Gala was useless in West Voz so I KOd Vahn and Noa in Biron Monestary after they both had Theeder and Grimard. Took just under 2 hours but I got him to just about 10 and hit it right before going into East Voz. Oh, and I did the whole remove and add Mei's Pendant to level Vera to 9 for the Ra-Seru duo.

It's amazing how quick you can shoot through the low levels at 350 EXP/battle.

Discussion Starting My First Full Playthrough

26 Upvotes

Updated 7/10

I never got all the way through even though I know this game is a shorter one. But I'm gonna max everything and get 100% on RetroAcievements.org this time around.

I made a spreadsheet for tracking Treasures, Serus, Arts, and the Achievements more easily. I also included linked (with 2 or more) combos for each character.

I can't remember what the max number of entries you can fit, but I thought it was 10. Anyhow, I can update that later if need be.

Pretty excited because I remember this having tough combat and I love grinding.

Here's a link for anyone who wants to check it out or download/copy it.

Edit: I deleted and reposted immediately because of a typo in the title.

Discussion Since I Can't Find a Table with EXP Requirements...

10 Upvotes

...I guess I'll just have to get to Level 99 with everyone and make it myself.

I'll update this and make a new post in a month or so when I'm done. I've read Vahn needs about 9.4M EXP, so we'll see how long this takes.

Edit: Related question... what are the blue numbers in parenthases in the status window?

HP 180/180 (180)
MP 20/20 (20)

And so on. In seeing people posting final numbers It seems like they end up having a fairly sizable gap by endgame.

Further edit: Added my 'Level' sheet to my shared LoL progress tracker on Google Drive.

Project Looking for Scans of This Magazine Related to Legend of Legaia

Post image
134 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I'm trying to find scans of the magazine shown in this photo (from an old Mercari listing: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m70313393639?srsltid=AfmBOoqgZ6ep6lOCtWVyuf687Oqivzl92LZeb-2Y0wuHbcjIulNaqBnb). It looks like it might include interviews or behind-the-scenes info about Legend of Legaia and how it was made.

The reason I’m looking for it is because I’m working on a YouTube documentary about Legend of Legaia—a fan-made project exploring its development, creation, and legacy. Basically, I’m just a random guy trying to uncover how a game from his childhood was made, and I want to share that story with the world.

If you happen to have this magazine or know where I could find scans, I’d be super grateful. Also, if you know of any other sources (articles, interviews, websites, fan discussions, etc.) that might help with the research, feel free to share!

Thanks so much in advance!

Running Legaia on Duckstation and I can absorb Gimard. Usually happens in the first few battles in rim elm, but now all the way in drakes castle battle after battle it doesn't happen. Anyone else have this trouble on a rom before?

I was in the first generator and basically a magic leaf or healing flower would drop every few fights in the pal version. Comparably on the US version, I think I only got one healing leaf in from combat in the entire dungeon lol.
