The Legend of Dragoon Bugs Acknowledged by PlayStation

Hopefully a patch will come sooner than later.

UPDATE (02/27/23) – PlayStation has released a patch fixing most of if not all of the bugs and glitches introduced in the PS4 & PS5 release of The Legend of Dragoon.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE –

After more than a decade of silence from Sony regarding the IP, the PS Store release of The Legend of Dragoon for PS4 and PS5 has been celebrated by JRPG fans. Previously only available on its original release platform, PS1, and later PS3 and PSP, this latest re-release makes the game available to 145+ million PlayStation users. Gamers who purchased the 2012 digital drop even get this new one for free! Unfortunately, there's a catch. Though it's playable from start to finish, there are a number of newly added bugs in this version of The Legend of Dragoon.

Fans playing the game have been making their voices heard across various forms of social media, and on the game's Reddit page, a mega-thread has compiled and listed users’ issues. Here are the bugs the PS Plus Premium classic suffers from:

While it could be worse, there's no denying it: this sucks. Superfans revisiting the game officially for the first time in over a decade feel understandably let down. It's also a shame that new players have been introduced to The Legend of Dragoon with the least functional version thus far.

While the slow rollout of PS Classic content and the lingering issues with playing PS2 games on PS5 might lead you to believe these titles aren't a priority, there's good news. A dedicated PS Classics employee at PlayStation maintains a thread over at the PlayStation trophy capital of the internet, PSNProfiles. In this thread, the employee keeps up with fan feedback, announces the release of PS Classic patches, and helps users whose licenses haven't properly transferred from PS3 to PS4/PS5.

In a recent post, they stated that the information on the new The Legend of Dragoon bugs has been passed on to their team. While there's no word on when a patch will come, we now know that Sony is aware of the glitches plaguing the first-party headliner of February's PS Plus Premium releases. While Sony's dedication to Premium and their Classics program didn't seem promising initially, post-release patches for several classics that even go as far as to add trophy support after launch seem to indicate an increased focus on this area of their business.

Whether you’re planning on powering through and playing through the bugs, or if you’ll be checking out The Legend of Dragoon after its (hopefully) upcoming patch, we’ve got you covered with guides for the game here at Final Weapon.
