The first ''Legend of Legaia'' takes place in a world where a mysterious substance called "the mist" has changed a good percentage of the population into monsters, caused by [[And Man Grew Proud|the symbiotic creatures (known as Seru) they were reliant upon fusing with them and hijacking their bodies]], and caused civilization to completely collapse. The game centers around Vahn, a blue haired [[Kid Hero]] from a small village, one of the few areas of the world not shrouded in Mist thanks to a giant wall, and also with no Seru there. After a servant of the mist attacks his village, he ends up merging with a Ra-Seru (A sapient Seru that can also absorb the essence of other Seru, and is also immune to the effects of Mist) named Meta that was hidden/resting within a dying tree that lay in the center of his village, known as a Genesis Tree. Upon being prayed to and infused with power, the tree grows again, banishing the Mist from the immediate area, and Vahn leaves his home to attempt to find others, in order to remove the Mist from the land. Eventually, he meets up with two other heroes - Noa, a feral girl raised by the Ra-Seru Terra, and Gala, a monk who eventually gains the service of the Ra-Seru Ozma.

The second game is based in a completely different world, with nothing carrying over from the first game. It centers around Lang, one of the exceedingly rare "Mystics" that have the power to summon elemental spirits that they contain within themselves. In most places, Mystics are shunned due to their strange powers, and strange tattoos that mark their bodies. Lang's friends and family don't have this prejudice; on his first day of work, the [[Cosmic Keystone|Aqualith]] is stolen from the village, and he is warned to be careful in the outside world, searching for it in order to restore the village's water supply. Along the way, he winds up gathering a group of fellow Mystics to himself, and begins finding the way to save the world from Avalon, the man that stole Aqualith.

 

 

Both games sold moderately well, and are examples of [[Your Mileage May Vary]], accused of being dull [[Cliché Storm|Cliche Storms]], or enjoyed for their combat system.

* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]] - After a couple hours of gameplay as Vahn... hey, where did he go, and who's this Noa person? Fortunately, it's only a short while before the two meet, and then you're controlling the party of both of them.

* [[Awesome Yet Practical]] - Miracle Arts. Their damage output is extremely high, and unlike magic, does not drain MP. Miracle Art spam is one of the best ways to defeat late-game bosses

* [[Boring but Practical]] - After you unlock Noa's [[Guide Dang It|final Ra-Seru evolution]], her Ra-Seru punch strikes twice with each punch. Spamming her Ra-Seru punch outclasses every other attack combination, including her Miracle Art.

* [[Boss Rush]] - The Delilas siblings, and then Koru- three one-on-one fights, and then a final timed fight, which if you don't win in five turns, you die, and the save point's at the beginning of the dungeon. Time to level up. Thankfully, you can save before the timed fight as the timer doesn't start until you approach it.

** A lesser example in Rogue's Tower, where you must fight two upgraded forms each of Caruban and Berserker before then fighting the head Rogue.

* [[Bragging Rights Reward]] - The talisman you get from defeating Lapis, not to mention [[That One Sidequest|the Juggernaut spell]].

* [[Calling Your Attacks]] - Several arts, most notably Vahn's Tornado Flame Hyper Art

* [[Classy Cat Burglar]] - Cara

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]] - The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Fire Path]]. You travel over lava by riding on a small rock.

** In the sequel, you have to travel inside the volcanic isle of Drokonia.

* [[Degraded Boss]] - Viguro and Kemaro.

* [[Demonic Possession]] - {{spoiler|Cort, being a [[Mad Scientist]], managed to uncover a piece of Rogue ten years ago, and promptly got possessed by it.}} Everything went downhill from there.

* [[Big Guy]] - Ayne

* [[Bishonen]] - Elliot

* [[Combination Attack]] - Variable Arts.

* [[Cool Big Sis]] - Sharon

* [[Graceful Loser]] - After being defeat by the party, Bubba admits his defeat, and goes into an impressive speech about how [[That Man Is Dead]] and that he'll [[Walking the Earth|wander the earth]] to find his own path. Then he hangs a [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] on it when he inner monologues that his speech was probably sufficient to save some face and that he should skedaddle now.

* [[Guide Dang It]] - You ''could'' keep randomly pressing combinations of three to six buttons until you stumble on a new Art by process of elimination. Or you could just look it up in a guide like everyone else does.

* [[Harmless Villain]] - The bumbling hunter duo Phanta and Balzac. (Made funnier by how Lang can actually make Phanta ''fall for him'' [[Relationship Values|if he treats her nice]], despite Balzac liking her.)

* [[Hot Springs Episode]] - Complete with peeping.

* [[Summon Magic]] - Origins.

* [[Then Let Me Be Evil]] - Torture Avalon long enough, and he'll decide to [[Kill All Humans]].

* [[Tsundere]] - Nancy towards Lang. She can be more on the dere dere side if you choose to be nicer, or she can be more on the tsun tsun side if you choose to be an asshole.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] - Nancy, if you choose not to be nice to her. Though {{spoiler|in the end she still ''is'' one, because Lang decides to go off on more adventures and not return to her}}.

* [[White Magician Girl]] - Maya is the primary source of healing in the game through Rivas.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Lang
