Really a big fan of Brigandine too! played Grand Edition recently. I used to play Legends of Forsena. For me this game is way better than latest games today even with great graphics.
That hidden ending was really surprising, the final boss was hard, took me 2 tries to beat it, with most of my monsters not at max level, because didn't anticipate that after conquering all the castles haha.
It is good to know that you are a fellow fan too. Do you still have your PS1? You can play Brigandine: Grand Edition (English-patched) on it too by "burning" the game rom on a CD using free software. That is if your PS1 is modded to play pirated discs.😃
My PS1 is already broken, I have the ISO file of the game, and I am using an emulator to play on my PC together with a USB Playstation Controller for the full experience :).
That's convenient. You got that USB Playstation Controller from Lazada? Mine was bought online from there cheap.
The PS1 laser lens was pretty weak. It only lasts for 2 years after constant 4 to 5 hours daily use.
