You play as a character named Ashly Riot who is set out to rescue his partner who is trapped at the hands of a madman named Sydney. The game is dark and very depressing. You stay in one basic dungeon for a majority of the game. It's 2009 and I pulled the game out to play it again. from Amazon.com I decided that I needed a classic RPG to quench my thirst for gaming recently. I have grown a bit freary of modern games and couldn't deny the mid-90's for their RPG prowess. from Amazon.com The game had somewhat of a comic book feel to it--the character nicely animated and bore many details. The detail really brings a certain feel to the game and the dungeon, despite being a dungeon, actually looks quite nice. This is one of the few games I will say is completed for or less for its story and gratification, not fun. There isn't much fun to be had as there is a lot of backtracking and scouting to be done with little or no deviation. from Amazon.com First of all, I have to say that I am a BIG fan of the Final Fantasy frenchise, I especially find the SNES and PS1 games to be some of the best Rpg's period (if only we could erase FFX2 the world would be a better place) I will not go on detail about the story itself, but I have to tell you that I find this game to be superior in every way. As soon as I saw the cover of this game I fell in love with it. from Amazon.com To avoid writing a 15 page in-depth review, I'll keep it super simple. If you like RPGs with and excellent story line, tons of weapon combinations, a fun & ground-breaking combat system, dark humor and programming that actually rewards you for playing through several times..... get this game. from Amazon.com Vagrant Story is the kind of game that is either love it or hate it. There really isn't too much in between. from Amazon.com Famitsu has only given like 5 games a perfect score... this being one of them. The characters, design, music, story, atmosphere, and presentation are all top notch and beautiful. The story is sursprisingly mature and the characters are all memorable, especially that mystery man Sydney. from Amazon.com This game is about to get a lot of attention, more attention than it's had in the years since its Spring 2000 US release. Final Fantasy XII looms on the horizon, and it's the creative vision of Yasumi Matsuno. Vagrant Story is another of Matsuno's brainchildren. Once FFXII has been out for a couple of weeks and everybody's beaten it, a lot of those people are going to find out about Vagrant Story for the first time and go scrambling over to eBay to get a copy. from Amazon.com Recently on G4 Tech TV I was watching "Filter", and they were counting down the top 10 underrated games of all time, and to my amazement and joy, Vagrant Story was rated the #1 most underrated game ever. There could be no title more worthy, and it saddens me that it has a 4 star average here on Amazon, though it's not really suprising. from Amazon.com I hardly even know where to begin when it comes to an overrated game that turns out to collect dust in my room. I bought Vagrant Story over a year ago. Tried it, like the battle system, and then found myself hating it. from Amazon.com
