Medieval set motion pictures are just not wanted these days. We want blood, violence, guns and bucket-loads of action. LS would need a fairly high budget unless it was to look like Monty Python and the Holy Grail ( ), and I doubt it'd get that. Plus, the stories aren't exactly ground-breaking.

Now that is not entirely true. There was actually an article about how fantasy is becoming more and more popular as opposed to sci-fi. The reason might be that since technology has advanced so much, we are not as wowwed by it as we used to be. So we look to the past for entertainment...which is why movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Popular are opening the door for more fantasy adaptation.
For a good medieval/fantasy live-action movie, I think Berserk (anime) would be excellent. A guy with a giant sword, lots of blood, massive battles....oh and not to mention those OTHER things in movies you don't notice like...uh....brilliant plot and characters...
That's going off topic a bit but the reason why something like Berserk would work and Legion Saga wouldn't is because LS has a plot that resembles Suikoden too much, and is not very ground-breaking in any sense, just as you said CSC

guys i have a secret for u.. I made lord of the rings on rm2k a while ago b4 it was ever a movie or book. and now look at it. JRR Tolkein payed me 1 million dollars to publish a book about my rpg and then they paid me 10 million dollars to have copyrights on the movie. so if my rpg can become a movie then im sure LS can......

You made an rm2k game 80 years ago and a dead guy paid you a million dollars? I somehow doubt that.

Yeah, Tolkein is dead, and his son Chris Tolkein is dead too, I think.
Anyways, I guess that guy was just trying to say LS would be a good movie.
But I think LS would make a great anime series(I got dibs on the voice actings, jk ;D), and a RM2K game with a great story like ABL would make a great movie.

HA! That's the funniest post I've seen on the forum!! So you're saying you wrote Lord of the Rings, and yet you can't even spell "before"?!

Unknown Dude here agian! Kamau, don't hurt pepole's feeling's , I'm not any profetionall at spelling either, and when you can't spell a word, you take something that mean's the same thing. See? I'm pretty sure I made a spelling mistake there too! Or maybe just Mr.Guest forgot that the word before exists... Bad, mean Kamau! Please continue guy's! ;D

I think it will work because LS is so good as a game so why not as a movie....but if Kamau´s really gonna make amovie from it he must be really rich guy

There wouldn't be enough time to capture the game's glory in a few hours...even if it was an anime movie.

Heh, well I wasn't really having a poke at people who aren't very good at spelling there, just saying that someone who wrote one of the greatest literary works of all time would surely be able to spell 'before'.

Well, don't worry about him, Kamau, he probably just wants to see a LS movie.
I guess I might quote that post in my sig one day though.
And he didn't write the book. He said made a RM2k game out of it before Tolkein wrote it.

Which is still a lie, so in way, he claims authorship. The dork...

You must be really old!Considering Lords of the Rings was published in around 1956 and that Tolkien died in 1973...
Now that was one of the funniest thing I've seen!I never though rm2k existed in the years 50!
Anyway,an anime serie would be better.
