Bahamut Lagoon is a story with the sky as its stage. What we take for granted
as the ground does not exist; the world is an endless expanse of the heavens.
There like the cloud it floats, beautiful lagoons. No one knows whether there
is a type of magical force that holds the galaxy aloft. The sun shines from
somewhere, illuminating the sea of blue, while the moonlight makes the surface
white. Floating for several million years, changing position little by little,
people live upon the dragon whose six large scales trail the sky: the nation of
Granbelos of the soldier, the saintly Kahna whose royal family guards over the
God Dragon Bahamut, Dafila, the nation of desert, Hamarl the continent of
miracle and marine, the continent Godrand of magical culture, the lone Orphan
island, and the forest country of Campbell. Now in history, the greatest battle
takes place.
Only in the land where the air is thin in reason, kingdoms have dispatched to
other kingdoms. Each time war happens, the blood of innocent people is let to
flow. Revolution succeeded with the feverish support of the common soldier who
feels dissatisfied in the present condition, and Zauzer became the first
emperor. At the declaration of the emperor, five countries were conquered
immediately. Only Kahna remains to receive providence of the God dragon.
A young cross knight took that pair sword in hand and became captain of the
dragon party of Kahna...

It was thought that it could not sell much, but privately an enormous measure
of admiration stems from the game. The catch phrase simulation rpg is seriously
taken into account. The traditional side view aggressive battle style is
adopted maintaining the rpg feeling. However, there is an indirectness due to
magic and topographical changes. Making a river freeze or thundering apart a
bridge, the user must be ever watchful and develop strategically. Distinctively
is the system of raising a dragon that grows more powerful by giving them
"feed," from ordinary weapons and armor to prized items, depending on which
makes a parameter rise. With change and evolution, combat efficiency is a
factor. As the dragon grows, so does the unit. Each dragon has a self contained
artificial intelligence. Although a dragon can be directed according to three
order commands, it's ability to effectively respond to a given command depends
on the user's conduct, caring, and fostering of the dragon. Furthermore, each
character has their respective personality, there is the flagship "Fahrenheit,"
graphics are clean, and the music is excellent, these qualities a trademark of
Squaresoft.
