Entry #50: In regards to Legend of Dragoon fanart...
8 years ago
Good morning/ evening/ whatever. Here's what I have to say for now.
I just searched up Legend of Dragoon fanart on this site, and I noticed that most artists tend to give their characters the same weapon that the characters in the game used in their dragoon forms. There's nothing wrong with that, but I gotta get something off my chest: That's not the only choice you have. I know the main characters mirror their ancient Dragoon counterparts (except Rose, of course) when choosing their weapon of choice, but that's not technically the given weapon for those dragoon spirits. Why? Because the dragoon spirits DON'T HAVE given weapons. The spirit's user chooses their weapon. How do I know this? Because, Emperor Doel was a violet Dragoon at one point, and he didn't use fisticuffs, like the ancient Violet Dragoon. He used dual swords. Also, Lenus never used a hammer as the blue sea dragoon or otherwise, she used what the LoD wiki calls "razor fans." This likely means just what I said: that the dragoon spirit does not depict what it's user wields; the user does. This also means that the six new dragoons only used the same weapons of the ancient dragoons by coincidence. You may now wipe the exploded brain matter off your walls...
