Jumping back into Legend of Dragoon will require a PSP or a PS3 though, as a number of the PlayStation Classics haven’t been ported to the current generation yet. With a new generation emerging in a year’s time, it’s likely that an update that would make the game playable on PS4 likely won’t be coming anytime soon.

At the moment, the only ways to play Legend of Dragoon is to either find an old copy and some ancient hardware, or to purchase the game to buy on the PSN: here. The game is available to purchase for $5.99 USD on the PSN to be played on either the PSP or the PS3, the previous generation of PlayStation handheld and home systems. At this point a PS3 shouldn’t be too hard to find, but with even PS Vita discontinued, it’ll be hard for players to get their hands on a PSP.
No matter which console players choose to return to Legend of Dragoon with, it is well worth the effort, especially for first time players. It may also be a good idea to get familiar with the game again before the reboot, remaster, or remake is announced. At the moment, a future release is still speculation and alleged rumors, but considering the fan outcry to bring the game back, with a petition earning 14,314 signatures at the time of writing, Legend of Dragoon may be returning soon.
It is possible that the vague tweet from Bluepoint could mean any number of games coming back, from Demon Souls to Castlevania, so the original version of Legend of Dragoon may be the only way for players to enjoy the game again. So pop out those old systems and boot up one of the best JRPGs from the PS1, and maybe introduce some friends to the world of Endiness. Hopefully, the hotly requested remake will see the light of day sometime in the future, because if Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 & 3 can do it, then so can Legend of Dragoon.
For the sake of full disclosure, it should be mentioned that it is possible to emulate Legend of Dragoon as well, but that cannot be suggested for legal reasons and for the health and safety of player’s computers. Stay away from sketchy downloads.
Legend of Dragoon is available on PS1, PS3, and PSP
