Come, let's sit around the fire.

Hello there, name's ChaoticEmerald. You may call me Emerald.

My Legaia craze started one cold, cold Chirstmas over a decade ago when I opened up the best gifts any one person could receive: a Playstation, a copy of Final Fantasy VII, and a copy of Legend of Legaia. Never before had I owned such a system, or either game. Up this point, I was still gaming on a Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and Gameboy Color. Pretty much just Zelda and Pokemon.

My joy was unconstrained. It was actually Legend of Legaia that I popped into that Playstation first. I will never forget the memory of that night, sitting in the living room with my mother, investigating the all-too-looming sound of something powerful hitting against the walls of Rim Elm, and upon Juggernaut showing itself for the first time, saying to my mother "This game is kind of scary, Mom" (at this point, the most intimidating video game character I had ever seen was the pokemon Haunter, haha). Her response was of course "Well, don't play it then!". Ohh, mothers.

I didn't halt my session just yet. I had made my way to Drake Castle by the time I found myself ready to give Final Fantasy VII a run. I remember that night, thinking to myself how Legaia was the coolest game I had ever played..

Fast forward some years. I am in my twenties, and I've since beaten Legend of Legaia over ten times entirely, and even spent obscene amounts of time with completionist files and the like. This game is in my top three, and believe me, I've conquered hundreds of games; I own well over 1,000+ games across every notable system. This game is legendary, and I never get to meet anyone on the streets who even knows what the game is. It's sort of sad to hear, but it also makes me smile knowing such a legend isn't heavily tainted with aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, gamer chicks, bros, and nuns who know nothing about RPGs. And I hope it always stays like that.

This is my story. Let's hear yours.

Nice to have you. Make sure ya read the rules and all that nonsense.

I started with the Legaia demo disk over ten years ago and played that one demo for hours and hours at a time until I finally got the full version. I've beaten the game 15 - 20 times since then and still play it through at least once a year. I'm also in my twenties.

Anyway, the guys with red names are the cops... er, admins. Them and most of the other active users show up in the evening.

Welcome to the site and all that jazz. I started with the demo disc myself and (living in a tiny backwater town) was unable to find a copy of it until about a year and a half later when on a trip Shreveport I stumbled across a copy in a Babbages store. I was ecstatic.

On a side note: With a name like ChaoticEmerald are you a fan of Sonic as well?

Yo wuz gud. I'm bad cop Red. Welcome fresh meat. Please read our rules n' FAQ and alla that jazz. I'm not an old fart (18 years old) but I too began playing about a decade or so ago (got my copy for free ).



Yeah stick around, have fun, and try not to die on us. We probably have about 10 or so active and like 5 semi-active members (that's a hunch--I'm too lazy to count (which I CAN do)).

Well, it's not like this is the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Hello. No, I haven't vanished. Given the tightly-knit nature of this site, I figured it best to wait some days and check back to see if I had any bites.

On a side note: With a name like ChaoticEmerald are you a fan of Sonic as well?

No, Lonewulf. It has absolutely nothing with Sonic, although I do get asked that often. I don't like Sonic. The name has to do with the color spectrum and how green is the "chaotic" color, belonging to neither (or both, depending on your perception) end(s) of the spectrum. At any rate, I'd have chosen a different name entirely (getting tired of the Sonic stuff). Feels like an eternity ago that I submitted an application to this site, and here I am, with the stupid name I thought was a good idea at the time.

Sega owes me a royalty check.

Well, it's not like this is the first time this kind of thing has happened.

I feel things could be done differently on here as far as generating a community and keeping its newcomers. Friends of mine who love Legaia (almost) as much as me said the site is cool, but they're not interested in joining because they don't want to wait many, many months just to join a community, let alone join one that isn't very active. Point is, if two of my friends feel that way, I'm sure there are a lot of others thinking the same thing.

This is just how I feel based on my experience so far. A community revolving around Legaia is something I've been actively seeking for a long time, and I want the very best for it.
