Piece of gaming Trash

There are some items that you buy that you feel that you wasted your money on. I've been playing the Final Fantasy games since I was 7 and I pretty much know what a good RPG game should be. In this game you assume the position of Asley, a bum with no plot of a convincible life. The story makes you feel that you're playing this to see the CG movies or fight. The enemies in this aren't even that cool and the animation is choppy. You just see the same attack move every time. Even in FF8 you got used to the characters in about 12 hours but, man, the characters are ... you just love to hate!! I would recommend Final Fantasy 7 and 8, Dragon Warrior, Teletubbies over this game. I feel like I wasted my money off of a Final Fantasy RPG stereotypical clone. If you want a good RPG or gaming experience, do not buy this unless you want to feel the great feeling that you've wasted your wallet's hide again and again for sapless RPGs.

please excuse my traditionalism...

this is undoubtedly one of the best games for PSX yet. every intricacy, every mystery, everything short of the game bespeaks of something wonderful. yet what i am about to suggest may seem contrary to the above depiction. this review will be passively helpful at best for most gamers. for those few of you who share some sentiments as myself, beware: this game represents the most complete and utter deviation from traditional RPGs ever. i managed to play for a few hours without buying a copy, and i am all the much more glad about it. between Phantasy Star III and FFVIII (the first and as of yet last RPGs i have played), there as followed a logical pattern among the myriad games i have played. all that i truly have to offer is the following: if you appreciate the turn-based and command-entry oriented systems of more traditional RPGs, play this game before you buy it. if, however, you find yourself appealed to the action/RPG genre which is currently emerging with great rapidity, then this is the game for you.

Waiting for the next great rpg, but cant wait for chrono trigger or parasite eve 2? Well, this is the next big game.

If you like complex action-fighting systems....?

Vagrant Story is a quickie action fantasy game that allows you to play as Ashley Riot, a warrior that has lost his memory and gradually gains it back, along with certain abilities, during the game. While the story idea was good and the game moves reasonably fast for expert players, Vagrant Story turns out to be a dissappointment.

Vagrant Story combines a somewhat complex fighting system with an environment meant for exploring. The player controls only Ashley throughout the game and spends most of his/her time exploring rooms for more powerful weapons, potions, and keys to other doors. After about three hours of exploring and fighting, I began to forget that there was a plot to the game.

I also began to get frustrated with the fighting system that changes whenever you fight a creature. As the game is designed, you have multiple weapons, each with a different blade and hilt, which can be dissassembled, combined, assembled, etc., to form new and more powerful weapons. Great! But! Depending on what you use the weapon against (Dragons, Undead, Humans, Beasts, etc.), the weapon will raise in attack ability towards whatever you just attacked, but will lower in other areas. This requires that you keep multiple weapons on hand for combat with different creatures in order to have a good weapon at any moment and that you keep track of them. Another added idea was Chain idea, where you can designate three buttons on the control pad to certain abilities and, by pressing them at the appropriate time, have these certain abilities added to an attack. I won't even go into the Risk explanation of the game, which was added in to make is somewhat realistic with getting tired during a battle.

If you enjoy a game where it requires you to keep track of your weapons and their abilities, this is a great game for you and offers different endings and options dependant upon how you play the game. Otherwise, like me, you will probably find yourself wondering why you are wasting your time with repetitive attacks on creatures for hours on end and end up losing the idea of the plot.

The total time to complete the game is approx. 8-24 hours and there are no FMVs throughout. Game is on one disc but comes with a bonus disc with the demos of Legend of Mana, Threads of Fate, Chrono Cross, Front Mission 3, SaGa Frontier, Chocobo's Dungeon 2, and Chocobo Racing on it.

Sorry guys and gals, but its a big bomb!

I rented this game after stumbling upon the squaresoft sign at blockbuster....i was dissapointed. I put over 10 hours of my time into this game only to stay in the same boring dungeon. The game play system was very innovative i have to give it that, but it lagged greatly in the amount of interesting things that happen. Sorry Square, but this one is a bore. For alot of fun, i reccomend a 3-D game called Brave Fencer Musashi. It is really cool.

OPVerall this game is good although im only 7 hours into the game but you stayin the same place all the time. Im a big fan of the ff series 5-8 and thought this would have been better. This game is like Granstream Saga with parasite eve and a liittle rpg involved. if you liked those games you will like this.

Excellent, if you are a dungeon crawler...

This game is an excellent game all around. It has flawless graphics, beautiful backgrounds, nice music, and the best battle system since Final Fantasy VII. The story is dark and mysterious, which is really intriguing because every few hours you come across a large twist in the plot. The character's designs are awesome, and the medieval tone of the whole game tops it off. But with the excellence comes the flaws. First of all, about 7 hours into the game, the endless dungeon crawling will most definetly get repetitive. But if you are a dungeon crawler, you will have no problem with that. The characters' costumes are not the best...you can see their B-hinds when they are facing backwards. (i.e. the peach colored spots on Ashley's pants). There are also steamy love scenes from time to time which may not be appropriate for younger gamers. The fact that to get 100% map completion you need to go through the game 3 times is too much. There is no replay value here, mainly because of the box puzzles that appear in every other room. If you want to get Vagrant Story, rent it first. If you dont like it, launc for Legend Of Dragoon!
