Evaluate Draggy based on his character design, combat usefulness, and Tilt factor -- which can mean anything, from how much he strikes you as cool to how important he is to the plot.

Character Design: Draggy is...a dragon. A cute, anime-ish baby dragon, but still a dragon. Not much to be said here about that. As for how he speaks...he has an "accent" that says he's just learning to talk, which can be annoying at times.

Combat Usefulness: Having never actually used him, I can't rate him here.

Tilt Factor: How can you not like that cute little face?! It's a baby dragon! What's more awesome than having that on your team?! And cool thing is, unlike Might and Magic 8 where you could get full blown dragons on your team, it doesn't break the game!

Final Grade: B.

Character Design: He looks a bit too much like a puppy for my taste.

Combat Usefulness: He is one of the few characters with a double tech, so he's got that going for him, but other than that, he's nothing special.

Tilt: I'll give him a bit of a boost for having a double tech, and being left-front-pawed.

Final Grade: C

character design: Draggy is a run of the mill dragon design.

combat usefulness: Seeing as he mostly hindered me in battle, I have to dock him a few points.

tilt factor: Okay, what other RPG let's you play as a fucking dragon, huh?

Final Grade: C

I rated C. He does have a double tech, and gets SOME plot development, though he's still sort of on the lower spectrum.

nightmare975, I believe those lines indicate shadows and if you have pubes that look like that, seek medical treatment immediately...or share your shampooing secrets, I guess...

anyways...

Character Design - Draggy is a cute little dragon character in a-literal-sea of other dragon characters (most of which look cooler than Draggy). He's supposed to be a stupid cutesy character, but I don't like stupid cutesy characters (the CC cast will suffer). Plus his wings look like they belong on a stupid cutesy fairy character.

Combat Usefulness - The other fallback CC weapon, the gloves...I don't understand why a dragon who can breathe fire would put on a pair of gloves to fight when he obviously has claws or something...Did they have to special-make his gloves? Did he wear two pair of gloves for all four feet?

Tilt Factor - One of the many underdeveloped characters. Basically he's an orphan who lubs his dead mummy. In a game that focuses on dragons so much I was kind of dissapointed that Draggy was just another nothing character. Coulda been cooler. At least his name matches his stupid cutesy character design, I guess. One of the characters I'd like to see a future version of if a fourth Chrono game were made, though regardless.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot he was one of the characters with a stupid accent! Grade go lower now! Oh, wait, we don't give lower than Ds? Oh, fine! V_V At least his accent was one of the less annoying ones, I suppose...D- it is!

Final Grade: D

Sorry, Draggy, you're not even on Doc's level.
