  • final fantasy 12, ps1 version D:

  • This game was so fuckin great, it was difficoult i never play it through.

  • WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE STORY? They totally overlooked it's strongest part

  • They already remade this, its called final fantasy xii....

    Haha jk just cuz i still own my copy of VS and wgen ffxii came out it reminded me of it, if you think about it.....final fantasy xii could of just been named vagrant story 2

  • PSX PLAYASSS THUMBS UP

  • this game is like a gay rip off of hybrid heaven for the N64

  • @xConxArtistx Except this game is renowned for being great while Hybrid Heaven is a pile.

  • @SupermarketZombies I've never played this, but i did like Hybrid Heaven. It's not a great game, but it was a very different play style than any game I had played before it.

  • This game was pretty tough to figure out though. Once you figure out how to play, I thought the game was manageable but definitely not one of those games you can just casually play and beat. That dragon that owned Matt with fire breath isn't even that far into the game. I'm guessing Mark didn't play all the way through.

  • This game utilizes the limited hardware masterfully. The graphics are technically inferior, yet the game looks stunning. The art style, and perhaps in particular the lighting, not only saves it but elevates it above the norm.

  • @SiGhast Yea. The graphics are quasi-PS2 quality. Honestly, at this day and age PSX and PS2 don't look that much different and it's even harder to tell with this game.

  • 2:37 Rofl look at the names.

  • Best game of playstation one!!!

  • This game does have a sequel, its called Freakin Final Fantasy XII

  • BEST GAME EVER... really really good story besides the innovating battle/blacksmithing system

    still wondering how is it possible that so many crappy games get sequels and such a master piece....................

    by the way if you liked this game check out Demon Souls while square keeps going the easy way with FF13, some companies are making owesomes action rps

  • favorite ps1 game ever no final fantasy turn based can match VS, i im still wondering how is it that so many crappy games get tons of sequels, and such a master piece... i mean.. the battle system.. the story is so intriging.. people getting stab.. come into the next room see some weird blonde guy with sharp nailed steel hands clapping at you.. you pretty much dont remember a think from your past.. for gods sake you the fucking BOURNE of medieval age..

    BTW check out Demon Souls,

  • woof~ smexy belly dancer is smexy XD

  • woof~ smexy belly dancer is smexy XD

  • original and excelent masterpiece

  • You just got your ass kicked by the lead singer of WHAM!

  • This fucking masterpiece should get a sequel, thumbs up if you agree.

  • not bad for 2000!

  • They need to remake this game with better graphics :)

  • 2:36 - "bitch slapper" lol...

  • @SilentStalkerX Sorry to take your LOL time, but the weapons/armour/etc can be renamed.

  • Battle system never seen before.....

    My rebuttle is Parasite Eve. Attack system was damn near exactly the same and PE came out before hand.

  • @CJRyzer totally unique indeed -_- not

  • Reminds me so much of ff12...

  • Is this review or are you just making fun of the game?

  • naming weapons its always fun. you just got bitch slapped foo

  • Hey you can name your weapons in patapon 3. Also that attacking system where you choose a specific part to hit seems similar to the one used in fallout three.

  • Yes... Squaresoft is pretty good company actually.

    But Square-Enix is...

    Assume that we're all know...

  • You guys have awesome radio voices, but please god don't show yourselves.

  • @88Infinites You can see the faces on some videos, check the ps3 vs atari review

  • just like fallout with vats

  • @TheMak185 Get off of youtube and get laid lmao troll

  • +PLEASE HELP+

    i have an epsxe emulator, but no matter how I changes the plug-ins I still cant played it, nothing goes wrong on other games though.

    +PLEASE HELP+

  • @reynoldricardo buy a playstation

  • favorite review ever

  • Ashley USED to be a man's name...and Leslie and Marion and Kelly...

  • Ashley was typically a man's name until recent years, believe it or not.

  • I love this game. One of the best games on the original Playstation. I would pay very, very good money for a PSP port.

  • @andoc This is on PSN and you can download it for your PSP. :)

  • Bought it on PSN, really fun game. My only gripe is that the game only explains the mechanics and weapon system very vaguely.

    So it requires a little trial and error to know how to play the game properly.

    Other then that, super fun and great story.

  • Where are all the Final Fantasy reviews?????

  • @WarpPal My thoughts exactly, im wondering which one to buy on PSN and i value CGR's opinion, as i only have enough money and memory capacity for one on my PSP.

  • @Macaca91 SERIOUSLY, the most popular RPG in the world and I dont even see one reviewed on CGR

  • Totally unique until 9 years later >:D

    FALLOUT 3 anyone >:3

  • @darkninja0200 You're a FUCKING IDIOT. Oh my god, I am raging so hard the world will turn on fire; Fallout 3 is NOTHING like this game at all. Medieval adventure action RPG with a brilliant story vs a free form post apocalyptic shooter with shit story and freedom of choice? You're FUCKING STUPID.

  • @AlastorGX

    Take a look at the VATS system in Fallout 3 is what I meant.

  • @darkninja0200 I've been telling people for years that the VATS system was completely ripped from this game! I wish they remade this game or at least made a sequel...

  • @thecursedmark

    Vagrant Story came out in 2000. Fallout 1 was made in 1997. Vats system was created in fallout and not ripped from Vagrant Story.

  • @DrkPhoenix15 Really? wow I didn't know that! Too bad the V.A.T.S. system was first implemented into the franchise when Fallout 3 came out. Knowledge is power and Google is your friend! You might want to brush up on your Fallout history before speaking of matters you know nothing about!

  • @thecursedmark

    It was officially called VATS in fallout 3 but the gameplay mechanics for aiming and disabling specific body parts with a percent chance to hit displayed near the limb has been around since fallout 1. Ive played fallout 1 man..

  • @DrkPhoenix15 That doesn't even begin to resemble the VATS system, nor the system Implemented in this game, It had percentages I'll give you that but not really a lock on feature. By your logic I guess even crono trigger had a primitive version of VATS and that was like 1994!

  • @DrkPhoenix15 It's still not VATS

  • I like the style of your show. Looks like something from local TV, in a good way.

  • how is this game only like 60 somat mb's big?

  • how much MB does this game take on the PSP?? plz tell me :D

  • @MrSmexiiPanda621 It's seriously like under 100mb. I think it's 97mb or something. Very small file size. =/

  • Some one spare me with the cheesy music!

  • too complicated for my current gen mind what else is out there.

  • The original VATS system :)

  • @CougarMagnum1978 Yea. I totally picked this game up not too long ago and that's exactly what I said. Not sure how much I want to play fallout so I'll give this game a playthrough before I pick that up.

  • THIS GAME, MAN! So awesome.

  • Many modern games do not have CG cutscenes as good as the ones in this game.

  • @illustriouschin Doesn't Vagrant Story just have 1 CG cutscene that's like 30 seconds long?

  • @yoyoyo88665 Ok you got me, I haven't played the game but the cutscene shown here was much better done than a cutscene from Elder Scrolls IV for example.

  • @illustriouschin Yeah too bad it's the only one, though :p

  • worst game ever. 

  • @truthwillbetoldjig Even trolls have standards. Simply unforgivable.

  • it's on psn. FINALLY~!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @darkroxas25 I know!!!!I just got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I can't tell you how much I played this back in high school when I broke my arm lol

  • @TheTragic66 sadly, i never get to play it. and it's hard to find. but now i can play it. lol and what is the game like for you? XD

  • @prstud15 It's a blast sadly my chain skills are so rusty that I'm embarrassed to even say I once was pretty good at it lol

  • You guys ramble way too much. I couldn't even finish your review it's so annoying.

  • @scoress6 lol same, i made it to 1:11 then i stopped. cgr is way better with just mark

  • @Maiku2010

    Totally agree. I made it to 1:30 and stopped. Thank goodness Mark grew up and left the other guy alone. This video SUCKS. But CGR now rocks!

  • @scoress6

    This is the old Classic Game Room. These days Mark flies solo and has grown up a bit, and his reviews are very good.

  • Comment removed

  • This game's coming to PSN on Tuesday.

  • @PsychoTomHoang wow is it really? thats fucking awesome. didnt know that

  • @PsychoTomHoang

    I bought Metal Gear Solid yesterday, FFFUUUUUUUU

  • @PsychoTomHoang got it...beatin it...replayed it...

  • Bitchslapper lol

  • Come and catch me Ashly Riot

  • lol, the other guy didnt listen to the guy talking about george michael.

  • Just bought this of psn.

  • This would've been better on Dreamcast.

    But it is near perfect.

  • @smileifulovemebaby please explain

  • @smileifulovemebaby

    I kindly disagree. I think the roughness of 3D engines on the playstation actually works to the advantage of Vagrant Story's atmosphere. It looks more stylized and abstract. I couldn't imagine it with high-res textures, anti-aliasing, higher amount of polygons, etc.

  • They're discussing clothing so much it makes them sound hypocritical about the gay stuff.. Who's gay-er?

  • ORGANIZING YO SHIT!

  • Watching a classic like this, with so much artistic creativity and depth of gameplay, reviewed by these mouthbreathing retards is depressing.

  • @stripedhyenuh you must not have watched the whole thing. they really had nothing bad to say about it other than the males outfits and names were a little "off". have some respect, sir. this is classic CLASSICGAMEROOM. these niggas is real. dont mind me, im just breathing out of my mouth. we use just your nose when you have options? sometimes i breath through my anus just to pass the time

  • @stripedhyenuh Then do yourself and all of us a favour, and walk away rather then telling us your life story.

  • I remember gettin so disgusted by the game just for the fact that the girlnamed dude walks and makes beep sounds with each step, that single thing pissed me off so much I couldn't play the game -_-

  • i wish i wasn't such a graphics whore :(

    also lol it's VATS

  • @simonx49

    "lol it´s VATS"

    Know we know where bethesda ha its ideas from xD

  • This is one of that really rare times when I thought "this game is much more complex than it is deep". After playing for, like, ten hours, I had spent more than half that time just in the menus (you have to switch weapons, items etc. all the fucking time). I'll probably give another chance to the game any of these days, just because its artistic direction is so nice, and the story seems better than the usual Final Fantasy formula.

  • the best of square enix it may be mother series ;p

  • Great game, terrible reviewers.

  • this is on psn for £4.79

  • I'am ashamed of myself.. i have seen Vagrant Story almost every gamestore.. but i never interested that much to even take a closer look.. now i want to play this badly.. really does look great!

  • organising yo shit Lmao

  • Yeah this game is really good that is why there are so many sequels to it, because people loved it so much they couldn't get enough...They packaged the game to look like a Final Fantasy. I bought it and gave it away it was so bad.

  • You can't have a lion as a soccer mascot. England already has a lion. Three of them in fact! Riot!

  • man i swear to god that mark is like my long lost evil twin or something. he looks SCARILY like me

  • They forgot to put Final Fantasy in the title. VS is set in Ivalice.

  • @aquapendulum That explains the open ass pants.

  • @aquapendulum This game came out before Ivalice became a Final Fantasy staple.

  • @sethisawesome Nope

    Final Fantasy Tactics: 1997

    Vagrant Story: 2000

  • @aquapendulum I know. I meant that Ivalice had not become an "official Final Fantasy world," or whatever. It had appeared in one game, a spin off tactics game that was only FF in name, really. That's all I was getting at. Smart ass.

  • @sethisawesome Nope, they still forgot to put Final Fantasy on the title. Even some games that are FF only in name (Dirge of Cerberus, Dissidia) have the words etched on 'em. That is no excuse.

  • This was Marc and Dave's most in depth, accurate review of the nearly 80 or so they did together in 1999-2000. Good job going into detail about the battle system. This was one of the few rpg games they reviewed also, outside of perhaps Front Mission.

  • FF12 feels more like Vagrant Story than a FF,thats why it's better than all the other FFs combined!

  • The attack system reminds me a lot aobut the VATS system in the Fallout games.

  • This was rated #1 Most Underrated Video Game on G4's Filter.

  • wow 10 years old classic game room vid, awesome

  • 4:52 = whitest kids you know

  • @skugglerthrash actually, no

  • parasite eve-ish? but looks a lot more complicated xD

  • The Japanese and their need to put men in women's clothing scares the ever living shit out of me...

  • does the equipment u put on show it on your character?

  • This video doesn't become a review until 3:57

  • Quick Ashley, use the bitch slapper!

  • I heard that the creators of this gamer were looking to either reboot this, or make a sequel to this.

  • @astaroth99 It's on PSN

  • did anyone else notice the names of their weapons at 2:36 LOL

  • It annoys me when reviewers focus more on lame humour and trying to get cheap laughs rather than actually reviewing the game

  • @leviathan1987 Totally, those guys are lame as hell. If you're not naturally funny, don't try to be. Of course it's a pretty cruel thing to say to somebody in person, so they were probably never told that, but seeing as this is the internet, there ya go. You guys are not funny. No...not at all....pfff, actually I think I might be sick now.

  • haha bitch slapper XD

  • Square WAS good. ;(

  • @skyninjabot I still believe Square is delivering some quality games.

  • @SolBuster Well... they where GOD to me after I played FFVIII... even while IX and XII where not perfect they where REALLY good. (I hated X and X-2) as for XIII just looks not interesting, but yeah... the graphics are phenomenal, but what do I need them for? I wand a proper world dammit... OPEN... I go where I want... and NO they did it many times in FFVII, VIII, IX... and before. Besides I want proper cities and better characters... than in XIII... they look like bunch on whiners...

  • @skyninjabot How does one not like FFX 0_0?

  • @SolBuster Well... if you have been a fan of older games... you'll see how. It was a HUGE disappointment. :(

  • @skyninjabot Also,you gotta give it to them that they use different systems and come with new kinds of gameplay every time.

    Pretty much EVERY single final fantasy game,big or small,had their own set of changes/upgrades and gameplay.

    Every single FF is different from the last.

    People would complain if they were all the same.They gave us open world a billion times before,so they decided to head in a different direction this time.Not everyone will like it.Just like u didnt like FFX..<-open world.

  • @SolBuster So true. I appreciate Square working their ass off into their games, I really do! But the latest FF didn't do it for me. FFXIII is enjoyable, but it doesn't deserve the FF title, cause it looks like a complete different game. It has so many Action RPG-elements, and its so linear, it really isn't the FF we used to know. Square made the biggest mistake by joining with Enix, they were the best in their Squaresoft time...

  • @38GencFenerli Dude it's not Enix's fault that FF13 ended up like it did it, look at the Dragon Quest series before the merger they were far from linear affairs. It was the choice of the team in charge and the project leads who since Final Fantasy 7 been wanting to take the Final Fantasy Games into more "Film" like territory guess part of that means making them more narrow and linear so they can focus more on story and cut scenes.

  • @Evilmonkey66699 Dude, its not just FFXIII. FFXII sucked ass as well. It kept most of the FF things in it, but the gameplay was like Freddy Kruger as a stand-up comedian. That stupid! Even other games like Kingdom Hearts 2 totally changed. People moaned about the fact that KH was too hard, and then came KH2 and it was like a breeze. Beating the game blindfolded was THE challenge. All I gotta say, R.I.P. Squaresoft. They gave us the best RPG's ever!

  • @38GencFenerli I agree but that's not just happening to Squaresoft it's just how things are in this day and age look at say Fallout the first two were well done complex rpgs where you had to think carefully about how you picked your stats as they truly mattered yet Fallout 3 you can have low numbers in everything and still finish the game(I done that) Same can be said of TES Oblivion which had alot of features toned down or simplified from Morrowind and Daggerfall to apeal to a more casualcrowd

  • @SolBuster No

  • @RobbieTehRabbit Nice reply.

    Now make one that I can actually get.Thanks.

  • I loved this game when it first came out. Its too bad they never made a sequel cuz if any game deserved one it was this.

  • I thought this game sucked ass and im a huge RPG fan

  • mice weapon names

  • this game iskewl anybody that hates this game can lick my balls

  • Does this game work on PS2?

  • Yes.

  • thanks

  • No problem.

  • cause every PSone game does!^^

  • which ost tracks would you recommend?

  • I've downloaded it and played it since yesterday, one tip: read the short manual ^^ So far I had a f-ing amusing time (it's wintereenmas everybody!). The combat system is something I've never seen before and the graphics aren't bothersome at all, plus the music and sound effects (with the vibration) really give me the creeps from time to time. I'm glad I spend my 6 euros on it ^^

  • Just disregard the reviewers attempt on humors on this game, but speaking of the actual gameplay, is just simply mind blowing. This is by far THE MOST perfect RPG game you will ever play. Sadly it was on PS1, which is a console at the era that had seen so many good games like FF:VII, FFVIII, and FFIX, etc. that this black ruby just went under noticed by many. Also, the music will prickle the back of neck and raise those hairs.

  • I wouldn't say the most perfect RPG but it does deserve to stand amongst them ^^ I agree on the music, I'm not through the first dungeon yet but when that Minotaur and giant walking cuirras came walking towards you I was thrilled ^^ plus the combat system really made my heart beat

  • waaaaaa!!! Fallout3 ripped of VATS from this game.... @_@!!!!!!

    Then they say that Jrpg need improvement while their games ripped of stuff of jrpg's damn!

  • fallout series had vats from the beginning and vats isn't that original at all...

  • @pirosoffaireyes VATS was in the original Fallout games, way before these. Vagrant story uses the same system as the earlier Parasite Eve which uses a system similar to the VATS in the ORIGINAL Fallout games.

  • oh noes Vandal Hearts, sorry.

  • they should release suikoden 2 *sigh*

  • hmm... debating weather to get this on psn or not... i liked ff7 and grandia and such but i'm not too sure about this one.

  • dude this game is a underrated hidden gem :P

  • @Faarao69

    "Underrated" and "hidden" to whom, exactly? This game is the fifth highest selling PlayStation game of all time.
