An early [[Turn -Based Strategy|tactical RPG]] made by Squaresoft (now [[Square Enix|Square-Enix]]) [[No Export for You|released only in Japan]]. It includes much of the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' feel and characteristics, including spell names and the names of the dragons: Bahamut, Alexander, Leviathan, and Valefor, to name a few. The battle system is an early example of a Tactics-style game, and is well-loved for being practical yet [[Nintendo Hard]].
 
The game is set in the sky world of Orelus, and follows [[Heroic Mime]] Byuu as he leads the [[La Résistance|The Resistance]] against the [[The Empire|Granbelos Empire]]. Along the way, he rescues his childhood sweetheart, Princess Yoyo. The princess, a summoner, has the ability to communicate with the Holy Dragons and use their powers in battle. The heroes attempt to collect their power to use against the empire, while Emperor Sauzer attempts to gather them for himself. Their battle against the Empire and the greater threat it unleashes range all across the sky and even into the world of origin for the dragons themselves. And Yoyo's experiences with the Empire weren't all negative...
 
The game directly influenced ''[[Final Fantasy X (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X]]''. The plot structures and several key characters of the two games are very similar. This link between the two games was lampshaded with ''FFX-2'''s airship, named Celsius -- the airship in ''Bahamut Lagoon'' is called Fahrenheit.
 
''[[Bahamut Lagoon]]'' is also notable for having very pretty graphics, being one of the last Squaresoft games to be released for the Super Nintendo. It's ''also'' notable for having quite explicit sexual content (though primarily in dialogue) and an openly gay old wizard as one of its main characters.
