Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article The Legend of Dragoon:

• Japan Studio has not released any such images to the public domain
• The image is used to demonstrate the game's distinctive quick-time event mechanic; this is an important aspect of the game, as it is used every time a character attacks an opponent. It is frequently cited in sources as one of the defining features of this game. It is also demonstrating the visual graphics for this game.
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
• The image is a small, web-resolution image
• The image is used to illustrate an important characteristic of the game mentioned in the article, which conveys to the reader an idea of what it looks like
• The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of a game mechanic of The Legend of Dragoon, and for no other purpose
• The image does not limit Japan Studio's ability to sell the game
• This single image of a video game respects commercial opportunities because it is an image of ordinary gameplay; thus, it is unlikely that someone would view this image instead of purchasing the game.
• This image is used in The Legend of Dragoon; thus, it is not orphaned.
• This image is only used in the article namespace.
• This image's page lists the source, developer, and publisher, a tag indicating that this image is a screenshot of a non-free video game, and a fair-use rationale has been listed for the article in which this image is currently used.
