Vagrant Story for PlayStation 1

Pros: Beautiful graphics, music, and story
Cons: The gameplay can be very repetitive.

Pros: Graphics were decent....for its time
Cons: awful gameplay, and annoying sound

I had never heard of Vagrant Story the video game until my friend bought it. He kept fairly quit about it, and when I asked him how it was going he said, “Just borrow it.” I had absolutely no idea what this game was about, (I assumed it had to do...

Pros: Hardcore, innovative and nicely addictive.
Cons: Underrated.

During the past couple weeks the world has slowed to a crawl. I was in a weird psychedelic state, a weird funk I couldn't shake myself out of. I was jobless, bored, since I had so much time on my hands. In fact I spent a while contemplating the point of...

Pros: Nicely shaded levels, creative story and characters, Endless Gameplay
Cons: Gameplay CAN be tedious, but not usually, The sound is horrible

A while ago I was looting through my game vault looking for something I hadn't played in a while. There lie Mega Man Legends and Vagrant Story. I played MML too much for one lifetime so guess what? I'm stuck with Vagrant Story.

...

Pros: Engrossing story, VERY atmospheric because of great graphics, wonderful sound, and a lot more.
Cons: Might get a bit "samey" after a while. But not to me.

I could have summed up this review in three words: “buy Vagrant Story”. But then you would have had to take my word for it, so I’ll explain why.

FFT meets MGS

Vagrant Story can be considered the mental...

Pros: So much to do, never gets boring. Very challenging.
Cons: Very Very Underrated!!

I first bought this game shortly after it came out. It wasn't what i expected to see. But I wasn't disappointed, at all! This game is a nice break from the everyday, same old RPG style games like Final Fantasy series ( which are a great series and I'm...

Pros: Great story, fun game, and excellent real-time cut scenes instead of CGI!
Cons: Not for everyone (but who cares?)

...A puppet which bends to the soul’s tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it return to the dust whence it came.
Therefore, must the soul
Deceive, despise, and murder men.
-...

Pros: An incredible game.
Cons: This game isn't for everyone.

This game is perhaps one of the most perplexing I've ever played in my entire life, and I finally conquered it after FOUR YEARS, beating out the original Resident Evil at about a year and a quarter (thanks god***n Doom Books). To tell of how awesome and ...

Pros: So addictive that you play it even when it aggravates you.
Cons: Extremely long gaps between story cutscenes.

Vagrant Story is a game that got mounds of praise and never quite became a well-known game but will always be an underground classic. The story of Vagrant Story (VS) is somewhat of a sidepiece to the story of Final Fantasy Tactics. Both games feature...

Pros: graphics, gameplay, music/sfx, something different than your "run-of-the-mill" rpg
Cons: confusing story at the beginning

I remember what got me hooked on RPG's. The days spent at the old Nintendo playing Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Ultima, and Crystalis. The swords and magic and mythological creatures. The music that always seemed to stick in your head for weeks...

Pros: Beautiful character animations/ great story with awesome characters and fantastic dialogue
Cons: A tad repetitive after a while

While Vagrant does quite the number of things right, Squaresoft would've
had their entire library < yes even the almighty Xenogears > put to shame if only a few simple problems had been rectified prior to it's release.

For one...

Pros: NEW UPDATE 10/23/00! Deep, interesting battle system, nice graphics, interesting storyline.
Cons: A tad on the complicated side, graphics a little chunky, no pause.... it's REALLY complicated...

Pros: Very well done overall
Cons: Menus are intimidating

Overview: You are Ashley Riot, an enigmatic member of an elite corps of Knights called Riskbreakers. The Riskbreakers exist to infiltrate heavily guarded areas and carry out nearly impossible tasks. Early in the game you are told that the elite...

Pros: Very interesting plot, catchy character designs, very good english translation, superb gameplay
Cons: a little redundant dungeon crawling

"from Square, you say?" I then dug into my pocket as the saleslady handed me the demo disk bundled up with the Japanese Legend of Mana. I took it as a real bargain to have a game with demos... real cool.

But when I popped the demo disc...

Pros: Battle System, Story, Cinematics, Graphics, Sound,
Cons: The majority of the game is Dungeon Crawling

Vagrant Story is one of the most innovative games in a long time and it's made by the best game making company in existence (SquareSoft). With those two things on it's side it is no surprise that it is an excellent game. You had just better be...
