[Review] Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds

For 8x and 9x generation gamers, JRPG is an old game and is the bird wings for their dreams. JRPG first entered in Vietnam in the same period with PS1 or NES, and with the games such as Final Fantasy IV and VI, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger ... These are games that are considered "legendary" and forever being the childhood of these generation gamers.
​

Recently, SEMISOFT developer has launched the game Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds, which is considered a perfect hyphenation of JRPG games from the late 90s and early 2000s. A game makes all 8x generation feel fret when they first see it because it evokes all the feelings that seem to be oblivious.

Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds lets gamers role-play the character Finn, a slave forced to play as a gladiator in the arena, becoming the laughing-stock of the ruthless slaveholders. After a tense match, Finn wins, but his freedom continues to fall into the hands of a mysterious old man. From that time, the adventure of Finn begins.

​

The graphics of Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is classic, and it’s where the value of the JRPG is blossoming on the PS1. Of course, SEMISOFT also has to customize its game to fit the preference of modern gamers. Thus, Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds will be sure about two criteria that reminds the past, but still brings imposingness and satisfaction to the current players.​

​

The characters are shaped in the style of the Final Fantasy but still present the bravery of the ancient gladiators. Not as magnificent as Final Fantasy, the game's setting makes the player immediately look back on the chattel slavery system. However, Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds still bears a slight resemblance to the jungle, the mysterious mountain, where the player has to face up extreme hardships.

However, the squad flexibly changes in battle, allowing gamers to adapt to the actual situation.

​

Overall, Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is a perfect JRPG, from the plot, graphics to gameplay. Especially this product gives the player strong feeling of beautiful childhood memories.
