''Legaia 2: Duel Saga'', known as in Japan, is a 2001 PlayStation 2 role-playing video game, a sequel to 1998 game ''Legend of Legaia'' developed by Prokion,〔(GZ Interview: Prokions president talks about the innovations brought to the Legaia continent in Legaia 2 Duel Saga )〕 published by Sony in Japan and Eidos Interactive in North America and Europe. ==Gameplay== The game continues its predecessor's approach to turn-based battles, the "Tactical Arts System." It also does away with traditional magical abilities; except Ayne and Maya (who is a casting elemental magician), party members can only access magic through items, or their "Origins." Also featured in the game are a large amount of mini-games, quests and optional challenges to take on. A guild is present at the town of Kravia, from which players can choose to undertake quests; there's a casino at paradise isle Phorchoon; minor characters in several towns challenge Lang with small dares, such as planting rice and side-jumping. Another one is camping; accessible at predetermined spots in dungeons and anywhere on the world map after a certain event, characters will set up camp to rest. Here, it is possible to get to know characters more and even watch interactions between them and prepare meals, provided they have been learned by characters and there is a stock of needed ingredients, weapons, armor and accessories is also possible here. Hidden bosses in the game are seeking like other ones of the original. In mini games such as Centurion Challenge and Battle Arena are bosses more powerful than the last boss, Avalon. Additionally, the player can meet and fight him before the last battle in the Battle Arena in the semifinal round. First featured in ''Legend of Legaia'', the "Tactical Arts System" is present. The similarities are immediately known and seen. For one, you have to input button commands. Combining these button commands unlock moves called "Arts". Therefore, its system makes the first game system feel more like a fighting game and not a typical RPG battle one. Once you unlock an art move, the combination of buttons is put into a menu. If the combination is valid and unlocked an Art, you can select it by pushing the triangle button when you are inputting your button commands, Inputting battle one is limited to the number of "Art Blocks" a character has; the total maximum for all characters are 14. Fortunately, it is possible to combine attacks together if the last button of the combination matches the initial one of the next you want to chain. There are several types of arts moves: Normal Arts are basic moves that do a decent amount of damage to gain AP. Super and Hyper Arts are more powerful but cost AP. Mystic Arts are combinations of a character's strong attack with his/her Origin powers; they cost 100 AP and MP, and the character must have half or less of their max HP to perform them, but they compensate with their sheer damage potential. Variable Arts are impressive double team moves, executable by any combination of two characters, but must execute its different half. The game also features combining. To combine, you need two or more items which will increase its strength. You can do this with weapons, armor, and tools. To reach the final result of an item you need to combine the previous one with a heaven's secret. Accessory combinations is used to create specific accessories, each with specific abilities. For instance, the Tireless Ribbon contains the ability "Max AP." This is arguably the best offensive ability in the game; however, a default Tireless Ribbon has other abilities that are less than ideal. This is where the passing of abilities from accessory to accessory becomes important. Once a Tireless Ribbon is properly leveled, it is possible to use it to create lower-level accessories with Max AP as an extra abilitiy. Using this new lower-level accessory, it is then possible to create other accessories which sometimes include Max AP as an extra ability that does not appear normally on the given accessory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Legaia 2: Duel Saga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
