Finally, it has come to an end. And what a majestic end it was for Legend of Heroes. Once again, Nihon Falcom pulls up an intricate tale of friendship much deeper than the depths of the ocean. As their last hurrah for the Legend of Heroes series, this was more than apt to say goodbye to one of the best RPGs out there.

The heart of Legend of Heroes is the story. The story of the Song of the Ocean revolves around two friends, Forte and Una, who share a passion for music. When Forte's grandfather, McBain, receives a music book with a power to save the world, the two went on the quest to solve the mystery hidden in the book's Water Melody. Hence, this starts a soulful trail for the lost notes.

According to Siliconera, the game boasts lovely visuals that remind you of the 16bit games of yesteryear. It even has anime FMVs that heightens your game experience. The music ties the player with the game and the visuals that you can find yourself lost in the songs. One can say that it leaves a soothing feeling, as though you were close to an ocean yourself.

In terms of gameplay, the battle system is slightly different compared to other Legend of Heroes series as you can change your characters in the middle of gameplay. More so, as one levels up and gains new spells, he could only use it granted that he equips the necessary stone for it.

But despite the lovely new things that come with the game, there are some things that just doesn't work. The battles are still long and 'useless', as said by Siliconera. There were also some grammatical errors in the game. But these things won't deter a happy gamer who has now sunk into the bottom of Song of the Ocean's reverie. In the end, it's all about the story, right? And what a great story this game is.
