Turn-based RPG where you control Ryu, a dragon-shifter searching for his missing sister across a fantasy world. Combat uses a party of warriors you recruit along the way, each with distinct abilities. Ryu's dragon transformations are resource-limited power spikes for tough fights. The main conflict pits you against the Dark Dragon Clan, an empire trying to resurrect a destructive goddess. Exploration involves dungeon crawling, random encounters, and town-based story progression typical of early console RPGs. Character designs come from Keiji Inafune. The Game Boy Advance version added save-anywhere functionality and updated visuals. Expect a straightforward narrative structure and menu-driven battles—this established the series template before sequels expanded the formula.
