This is one of the absolute best gaes I've played on PlayStation since "Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain"

This game is a must have for any FF.VII/VIII player. it plays as good as either game but you only control one player. This allows more control over the player with a greater choice of actions and monsters. Amazing graphics and gameplay. A Must Have!

WOW What a game!

This is an excellent game. Great graphics, well developed battle system. It might seem hard to learn when you start playing the game but before you know it youll be taking Ashley against dragons, phamtoms, undeads etc. I love the special effects when Ashley uses the break arts, magic, or drinks a potion. They are beautiful. I already finished the game once but Iam still playing it until I reach the level of Master Riskbreaker!For those of you who enjoy good graphics and special effects you got to buy this one! I also suggest that you buy the strategy guide. Hint, You MUST develope a weapon for each class of monster, i.e. dragon, phamtom, elementals etc. I dont want you to go through to what happened to me. I started playing the game using mostly the same weapon, I got away with it for some time (consuming most of my health and mana potions)until I came face to face with one dragon, there was no way I could harm him, I cast the spell of strength on me, prostasia (equip up) and nothing, I got stuck there. So I asked myself what is going on here? Thats when I decided to buy the strategy guide and oh boy! what a difference! without it I think I would not have been able to finish the game. But its a great game and Im still playing it! Go buy it now!

Best ingame graphics around...

This game for starters is one of the best games for Playstation. I love the graphics, the rich textures add a lot to Lea Monde, and the speed of play is incredible. It is truly amazing that these guys are running the PS with a 66 or 75 mhz CPU and I not sure but I know that that is pretty incredible. The best part of this game is that it is fit all onto one little disk. But really that is a lot of space. Zelda:Ocarina of Time was fit onto that 64 Megabit cart and it is pretty awesome. Want to experience the Sixth Sense of Video games first hand? Buy this game. You will not be sorry. I find it not only challenging but incredibly addicting. This is one of the more interesting titles I have ever purchased. But one of the best also.

Square has out-done itself this time!

This is one of, if not the best, blend of many genres into one game ever. Theres action, RPG, strategy. The story line is deep, dark, and involved. The plot, though great, is quite confusing. It takes alot of time and patience to play this game succesfully, but I would whole heartedly say it is worth it. Plus it has great replay value, you'll atleast want to go through twice, more if your a perfectionist. All in all this is one of the best games I have ever played.

It's good to be a Vagrant

Looks like Square finally stopped paying too much attention to how the game looks and has focused on the game's story. This game has the most well written story that I have ever seen in my decade of game-playing (which stems back to the Atari). The dialouge is beautifully written and seems to be genuine Old English scripting. The musicis kinda bad though. I really didn't care for it as it sounded more like etheral background music with no real melody line, just chording. The weapon and armor design is a nice touch too. You can make your own weapons and armor by combining blades and armor pieces to form stronger (or in many cases weaker) weapons. This coupled with a simple Risk system and battles become a lot of fun to try to master. This comes even more into play with bosses. The bosses in this game are very difficult, but their difficulty can be slashed if you have the right weapon to use against it. The game plays very much like the game Brandish (for those with SNES). You are Ashley Riot and arein a giant maze-like area and you hack and slash your way after the evil Sydney who has kidnapped the Duke's son. You travel from area to area gaining treasures and defeating bosses and that pretty much is it. I would get the game if I were a veteran RPGer who is waiting for a game with a strong story instead of a bunch of pretty pictures then get this game.

Best Game by Square for Playstation and PS2

Of all the games Square has made for PS this tops them all. It has the best replay value of any game I have ever played and the story is better than that of all the new Final Fantasy games for Ps and the ones that will come out for PS2. The game has the cool idea of being able to make your own weaons and giving your weapons class points which make them more efective against certain monsters. If you are a RPG fan and have some patitence GET IT but dont waste your money on the Final Fantasy games (except for 7 that was okay)

Patience is a virtue...

Ok. I played this game when it originally came out and sold it back because my annoying roomate kept bothering me, hence hindering my playing time with it. So I stopped.

I bought the game from Amazon a year ago and have picked it up recently. This game has very innovative character sketches which are among the best I've seen in any game. Art is the correct word for it along with a great/creepy story. These are only details though.

The first time I played it, I didn't fully understand the weapon system which is the integral meat and potatoes in this game. If you don't align separate weapons to specific Affinities/Enemy Classes, you will not get far at all. You will find yourself battling enemy bosses and only blasting single HPs of damage due to mal-alignment of weapons. It is trial and error. It is frustrating. Playing it now is REWARDING knowing this information. VS is a dungeon crawler no doubt, but it is also a quest to find specific creatures that will help create a devious arsenal of weapons that will only progress Ashley further in the game. This aspect of the game is a steep learning curve for newbies but it is rewarding when the weapons get stronger.

My ranking of Square games (that I've played):
1. FFVII
2. Front Mission 3 (A MUST OWN!)
3. Vagrant Story

Atmospherically beautiful...but slightly lacking...

Storyline-wise..this game is very atmospheric and at many times, dark. I enjoyed the story and atmosphere highly, but the game seems to stretch on and on into dungeons that highly resemble the previous ones, thus making it very monotonous. The weapons configuration also is very lacking, there are many weapons and other equipment, but it really gets on your nerves and many times, is quite lame. The difficulty level, while hard, is actually very good, although I find myself constantly battling to defeat bosses, and the whole risk facto system is constantly getting on my nerves. If the developers cranked out some of the faults in this games system this would have potential to be a very great game. However, this game would be a good investment for an RPG if you are able to look past its faults. But otherwise, I would suggest 'Final Fantasy Tactics' which is made by the same developer...

Top Ten, at least

I've honestly got to put this game in my top ten for the playstation, if not top five. It ranks up there with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as far as the gameplay. The graphics are quite good for the PS1, and the fighting system is excellent. Being able to combine and upgrade both weapons, and armors is almost a game in itself, trying to find what will give you the most bang for what enemies dropped. The storyline is intriguing, and will have you rooting for Ashley, and ultimately longing for the final confrontation. Replay value is sky-high with the 2nd playthrough allowing access to previously locked areas that are actually quite extensive and fairly difficult. Armor and stats continuing over into each new game make you more and more unstoppable, as you seek to complete the 30 tasks given on the options menu, some of which are extraordinarily difficult to achieve. You won't finish them all, but they do add to replay value. Overall this game gets a 5+ from me. Better than all but the most exceptional games.
