The Characters in Vagrant Story are amazingly developed - Sydney(the villan) is probably one of the coolest bad guys since Sephiroth. But be Warned - You will spend the entire game following him around through the same dark and danky dungeon fighting extremly annoying little monsters. There is only one town, Lea Monde, and you only see it (and the light of day) a handful of times throughout the game. I was very thankful for Electronic Boutique's 10 day return policy - because after about 6 days I was ready to throw the CD's out the window. I respect it for it's interesting spiritual/political storyline ... but Vagrant Story hardly stands up to it's SQUARE predecessors, in summary - A waste of time and money.

What is this???

awful. Absolutely awful. I am 13 and spent 2 months allowace on this .... the game looks great and the characters move smoothly, until you find out there are about 40 different character animations. This means that ashley does the same thing while attacking. He attempts to stab a 40 foot tall golem with a sledgehammer. Pathetic excuse of a story: play for two hours having no Idea what you're doing, and some nameless character comes up and tells you what happened. ultra repetitive gameplay: run in a dungeon and kill stuff. wwwwweeee. 'nuff said there. The programmers decided to leave out character customization. Want to be a mage? too bad, computer says to be a fighter. don't bother. I have more fun in math class.

This game is HORRIBLE! Shame on you Square!

Guys, do yourself and favor and DO NOT get this game.

This is what you do....

CONSTANTLY running around in a very large and tedious dungeon while pushing boxes, killing bats, solving little puzzles, etc! There is absolutely no fun in this game. You are in the SAME dungeon practically the whole game.

How is this an rpg???? It ISNT!

Wheres the exploration? Your in the same place all the time.

Wheres the variety? Same monsters, same areas, same same same!

The only good thing about this game is the cool scene at the beginning of the game, and thats it!

Please Please, by all means do not buy this game. You will maybe play it for an hour or two and never play it again. Trust me

Shame on Square Soft!

I can't believe Square Soft put out a game with game play and a storyline as lame as Vagrant Story. The battle commands are unwieldy and time-consuming, and the dialog balloons are rather childish and distracting. Granted, some of the effects and characters are neat, but I have to say the best thing about this game was the opening sequence. After that, it's a disappointment for experienced gamers. I played the game for about three hours until I couldn't stand it anymore, thinking I would get used to it, but I just didn't like it.

Just terrible

Just a terrible game. If you enjoy pushing boxes around for hours, by all means buy it. The gameplay consists of alternatly pushing boxes, jumping on boxes, and killing 35,000 bats and other generic monsters. Interspersed are story sequences that move the story very, very slowly. I played for about 6 hours and just couldn't take it anymore. I would literally rather be at my job, where I can at least earn money, than play this game.

Vagrant Story is not one to buy

I give my props for coming up with an excellent villian.(Best one since Sephiroth) The battle is decent since you dont have to wait for a time bar to fill. The worst thing is unlike FF7, is that you stay in one city for the entire game. The graphics are not all that great either. If your one that likes games that you have to go to other cities this isnt for you. I am also very disapointed in the story line. The bosses were way to easy. And anyway the puzzles are kinda lame to.

If you like games that have very easy enemies and like staying in one place this is for you.

DONT believe the HYPE!

HI, I fell for the hype of the game, I thought it would be like FF8 but with a game play like Tomb Raider and Zelda. I was correct in that was how the game played. BUT, the graphix in the game were not that great at ALL.... NOT what I had expected. They were NOT CLOSE to as clear and fluid as Tomb Raider or other games like that. I LIKE to play games that have action right off the bat. ANYWAYS, I bought the game and went to a friends house to play it, with many other gamers. We stuck it into the psx and expected the best. After 2 hours or more of playing we fought a LAME dragon(WEAK) and a couple bats and a knight or 2. We were like (OHHH WOW its battle system is like Parasite Eve) too bad the graphix stink compared to those of PE. And we could select parts of the body to attack. I was like YESSSS gonna have some fun. Attack the legs, and they simply die after some hits, attack the arms and they simply die.... etc.... WEAK is all I have to say, they dont fall off, effect the monsters fighting at ALL. No blood, etc. Anyways I WAS LET DOWN. I went and returned the game the very next day and bought Saga Frontier 2. Was MUCH more happy with it.... Alright happy gameing and please look before you buy.

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.

Boring

I 'm not one of those people who think that if a game has the name Squaresoft on it, it's a good game. While Squaresoft does make a lot of great games, they also manage to churn out some pretty boring ones, too, like both Saga Frontier games and this one. The graphics are ok, nothing special. The colors suck, pretty much the whole game consists of different shades of gray, black, and brown. The battle system is also not much fun. I don't know, it just didn't interest me. It's a good thing I only rented it. I suggest you do the same before you buy.

Worst Game
