  • I remember crafting 'the bringer of death' and carrying it through the game at least 4 times. I'd kill everything including bosses with one hit. at least for the first couple hours in.

  • Memories...... The future of awesome storytelling and cinematic presentation was starting to show itself in this game..... I remember completing this game and feeling utterly blown away by the ending, like few games these days have done.

  • I mount this game in my pc.

    i am playing it right now

  • @shin7speaty how exactly? no noob, just never installed a ps emulator. but I'd kill to play VS again.

  • @BESTINTACOMA download an ps1 emu: ePSXe is the best one

    then download the .iso of the game from RomNation(.)com

  • 5 years later, i came to watch same video. Today, i'll blow the dust off my PS1 and old tv. I have PS3 and Vagrant Story from PSN but I want to play on my faithful PS1 with awesome black ps1 disc, like 12 years ago, like a child again...like a boss

  • It's clearly visible that this games stretches the boundaries of PS1. Imagine it, PS1 had only 2MB memory! Unbelievable!

  • One of the best game ive ever played. tons of weapons, puzzles r awesome, and i really love those sketchy graphic. too bad there's no sequel...

    i guess square just dont wanna messed with this game as too many failed sequel games these days

  • I've never heard of this game before and I bought it on PS1 classics because Famitsu gave this 40/40 (the only perfect score for the PS1) and I had extra money too.... I play it and I fell in love with it! Why didn't I grow up with this game as well!??!

  • man, i missed this game.

  • If you pay close attention you´ll see a graphic resemplance to Final Fantasy Tactics.

  • @ratking04 They bought the vragrant story team

  • Thumbs up if you've considered that tattoo seriously at least once in your adult life.

  • For some odd reason this game is old, but I personally found it more entertaining than Demon Souls no offense.

  • The only game to confuse the hell outta me

  • this game got the complexity specialy for the gameplay

  • I fucking hate this game...I mean, I like the story, the graphics doesnt bother me, the interface is awesome, BUT THE BATTLE SYSTEM SUCKS!! I just dont get it. Im still on the second fucking dragon boss and its really getting on my nerves. I really want to see how the story goes and I really want to cheat my way through. I dont care about the gameplay anymore, I just wanna know what happens T_T Now I feel like dropping this game. FUCK

  • @darkpheonix168 I just beat that dragon, it is a difficult boss indeed, specially if you haven't figured out the the weapon creation and the affinity setups, the best advice can give you is to go with a good shield and use the spells prostasia and degenerate, aim to the neck and head, get close and try to surround it and if you have the fire defense use it.

    I think the battle system is pure genius, it is an actual challenge and not just some copy paste Japanese RPG like the FFclones.

  • @darkpheonix168 It's a really complex Battle System, but I'll give you a hint. Have all types of weapons, and be proficient with everyone of them! The stats that have the most drastic effects when it comes to damage are actually the type of damage you do, like, Piercing, Blunting or Edged damage. Fighting a golem? Blunt! Fighting a Zombie? Edge! Fighting a warrior? Pierce! (not alaways...)

  • One of the best opening ever

  • simplemente: Magnifico!!

  • The ending to this game left me waiting for a sequel. If you have passed the game you know what I mean. Instead of making more final fantasy games make a sequel to this game. I think besides Metal gear solid Vagrant Story was one of the best games on the PS1.

  • why cant square make more manly games like this and less gay like ffXIII

  • bastards, recently some people say ¨ "thumbs if you re watching this in 2011" in all the videos on youtube !!!!!!!! stop this shit!

  • thumbs up if you're still playing this game in 2011!!

  • From the maker's of FFXII. As if that's suppose 2 mean sumthin Lol

  • @xrustynailsx Of all the games Squaresoft has made, you put FFXII?

  • @lilamah Prolly cause FFXII has some references to Vagrant Story.

  • amazing game

  • great story and complex fighting and crafting systems couldnt even beat it the first time I got it. got it years later and has a permeant spot on my shelf.

  • Sexiest game ever. There's not a character throughout the entire thing that doesn't turn me on.

  • I loved this game. It was really in 3d while other square soft games were 3d models on pre-rendered backgrounds. The story was dark, it got creepy in a lot of places, and there was a mystery to the storyline.

  • Once you realise he is wearing assless shorts its hard to look at him the same way again

  • Wow, the graphics are amazing, great texture and animation work. I never played this on my PSX, but I'll definitely get it on PSN.

  • Heard of this game last year and thought it looked cool, but wasn't sure I'd like it that much.

    When it came out on PSN a while back I decided to give it a go. I'M GLAD I DID.

    Pretty much every RPG out today is copy-pasted, unenjoyable crap compared to this. I was astounded at how original the battle system is.

  • Just saw this at gamestop and decided to buy it (PS3)

  • Defiantly the best RPG I have ever played...sorry FF but Vagrant Story captured my heart whit its awesome.

  • downloaded it yesterday. It's awesome, reminds me of a combination between Final Fantasy (The Yoshida ones like Tactics and XII) and the Ogre Battle franchise, mainly Tactics Ogre. Best of all, it was made during that golden time in the PSX era when they decided to give it a well scripted translation, so it doesn't feel like I'm playing a dated game in need of a new translation.

  • A classic! Begs for a sequel.

  • honestly which square went back to making games like this not mass producing garbage which seems to be their main goal nowaddays

  • my history teacher likes to play video games and he was telling me this is the best game he has ever played. I'm like hm looks like a cool game so i look at the prices of it. I would LOVE to get it if i could get it for under 50 bux! XD

  • @gameboykid11 ps3 store has it for 6 bucks ...but it has to be download

  • I still play this on my PS3. It's really too epic to handle. At first i was like this is going to be garbage. Then i realized i couldn't keep my jaw from dropping as i played the game. lol

  • It looks rather dated nowadays if you just look at specs like texture detail, polygon-count, etc. but why would you?

    The atmosphere is still overwhelming and the game just sucks you in. I'm not one to easily spit out how everything was better back then (it wasn't) but as a matter of fact you rarely get games like Vagrant Story nowadays, with actual difficulty and edges.  Most recent games are so stream-lined into being cinematic they basically play themselves.

  • @Cyrillion In fact it "was" better if you look for games that really catch you in gameplay and story.

    Today you will get less story, more graphics ; but the last i really need is a top notch graphic , its nice to have, but the last that makes a game really good.

  • Playing this on my zte blade(Android 2.3) via fpse! Awesome game :0

  • is this game worth buying?

  • @newworldfool YES. If You are classics fan, You must have it, play it & finish it. Highly addictive for real. "underrated" as they said, but for me the best PS1 game. You will see, eventually...

  • @newworldfool its hasnt aged well, but if you can look past the roughness of it you will find the coolest most looking, intricate menu wading, loot grinding, weapon crafting, combat training, replayable turn based action (yes its action and turn based, weird) rpg of the past decade or so.

    but it is a game that was best experience in its time. i revisted my save file of 5 play throughs and 100+ custom designed weapons (or so) and was shocked at how it looked so... sloppy visually.

  • @nnndddnnnddd Im okay with that, Vagrant Story and Xenogears will be my target for my library of games.

    Dang, i wish they would release The legend of dragoon also.

  • @nnndddnnnddd on PSN (i forgot to write that

  • @nnndddnnnddd What? Visually this is one of the best looking Playstation 1 games. And the animations of the characters are even better than lots of games we see today. Though of course the textures aren't in any high resolution and the amount of polygons ain't that impressive either. But for a PS1 game this has amazing graphics.

  • @Deffpoised oh i know it was incredible for its time. i was just saying looking at it now it shocking how rough it is.

  • Xenogears,Vagrant Story,.and now Parasite Eve all released within a month's time

    PSN is on a freakin roll

  • PSN needs to sell legend of dragoon

  • Now, if Legend of the Dragoon will just go up...Man, I wish SE would go as hard as the old Squaresoft did.

  • I also jizzed after periodically browsing psn, hoping for this title. My ps3 is now the Mvc3 Vagrant Story machine.

  • This gem is on PSN for like 6 bucks!! Go play it now! It's amazing!

  • *Browsing psn, praying that a worthwhile release has come out*

    *See Vagrant Story*

    *Jizz in pants*

  • Very cool PSN released this game just one week after 'Xenogears'

  • This game is on the PSN for 6 bucks, takes like 98 mb

  • it's on psn now. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @darkroxas25 I know! I just ran into it on psn a minute ago and was like =O

    It's downloading on my hard-drive as I type, i'm so happy to have found this :]

    I hope Sony puts Parasite Eve on psn soon too.

  • @JetBlack7000 yeah i heard parasite eve 1 and 2 will be on psn but no release date so far. gahhh!

  • Make it on PS3 please then I'll play it.

  • @UndercoverCracker

    If by that you mean you wish for it to be made available for download on the PSN as a PSone Classic, you're in luck: it'll be available in North America tomorrow (March 1st). If, however, you mean you would only consider playing this if it were remade with HD graphics, you should probably just eat shit and die.

  • @crazymiles Now now boy. No need to get so upset, that is dangerous. Especially when it's over this type of shit. Pst your ignorance is showing.

  • @UndercoverCracker its on the ps store right nown you can buy it

  • this is not the original BGM.the original is FAR more better.what the hell they change this?????

  • one of the best stories Ive EVER played through

  • the only thing i think it's kinda weird is the comic book balloons

  • It is an honour and a privilege to play this game. There should be a part two to this game.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah... I look up to IT.... Vagrant story's really an awesome game...

    a remake would be nice... if that remake comes with smoother graphics or extra bosses from FFTactics and FFXII in full 3D... LOL... :D

  • The sequel to Final Fantasy XII and Tactics. LOOK IT UP.

  • one of the hardest games ever made >.>

  • i spend my time between this and Front Mission 3 in the golden years of PS1.

  • @JuStViCtoR Creepy I just got back into FM3 and was going to go back into VS XD is it me or dose it seem that all good rpg's were on PS1 :3

  • @monkeyman123321 yep, psone rps are the best

  • after 8 years of searching i found it again.

    I didn't knew anything about this game even the name and now yeah i found it :)

  • That dancer priestess Mullenkamp needs to play with my scimitar...

  • I wish that I could play this game again ... but on ps2 or 3

  • @nightgoblin29 The game has just been put up on the US PlayStation Store. You can download and play it on PSP or PS3.

  • Very atmospheric game,with a very original combat system.

  • THE BEST RPG FOR PSone EVER!!!!

    It even beats some of the PS2 games (my opnion)

  • @tnttnc In my opinion it beats most of the PS2 games, simply because better graphics do not trump better gameplay in most cases.

  • remake in HD ^^

  • Best underrated game EVER!!!!!!!!!..

    I played it on PSX and till today its one of the games I have come across.

  • super underated by the masses, super overated by noob fanboys. I dunno where this game sits :s

  • @jimmicrackhead12 you serious man?

    This game, along with Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics, is one of the BAD ASSES!

    This is old school, fuck the fanboys, this game sits on the squaresoft heaven (a place that does no longer exists since the join with enix lol)

  • @pippiculo there still atlus making great games there is Strange Journey and Dark spire ;p

  • definately in my top 3 games.

    fucking brillliant, creative and powerful.

    very underground surprisingly, despite for me being squareSOFTS best game.

    has replay value also.

  • remake this for PS3!

  • EPIC EPIC> this comes close to my Xenogear with sheer epicness cmon PS3/ 360 make a sequel!

  • this is a really good game. ps3 please remake this with voice actors!

  • Bought it today. Hell, I love it!

    But I'm stuck now so I gotta figure out something...

    Who'd think a couple of boxes would be a turning point?

  • I LOVE this game! Sure, I love Final Fantasy, but those games totally veered people from this excellent game of the same company. The graphics are superb considering it's a psx game, too.

    And the difficulty is rather high too... -is stuck in it-

  • dude, hella wish i still had this game...and a psx to play it on....one of these days i swear i'll cosplay mullenkamp <3 hottest video game character evarrrr

  • awsome graphics for psx

    

  • just like FF, had really good graphics and enjoyable gameplay on the PS ^^*

  • Most underrated game in history along with The Legend of Dragoon..

  • @ildiodelmetallo OMG! I only got to lay LoD once and loved it! If only I could get my hands on it again.

  • @ildiodelmetallo

    what? Vagrant story has 91.97% on Gamerankings!

  • @ildiodelmetallo i totally agree

  • @ildiodelmetallo Dude thank you...... Legend of Dragoon...well let's just say that legend was awesome

  • @gruggrg No offense, but I thought The Legend Of Dragoon was cheezy as hell.

  • I almost have certanty this game has the best graphics of PS 1!!!!!

    Duuuuude... This game is simply AMAZING!!! *_*

    Strange it not be so comented when we talk about good games on foruns, blogs etc.... sorry about my poor English! ' -__-

  • @AndromedaBeta ff9 has better graphics, so I guess I have to disagree with you there :D

  • @Crashandburn999 Apples & Oranges. FF9 has pre-rendered backgrounds.

  • @Crashandburn999

    Oh man... it's true! I have never see or played FF9 (PSX) and is a shame, I know, but I checkout here on YouTube and now I believe in you! lol FF9 have the better graphics for PSX, but a think Vagrant have the second best graphics! XD

    In third I choose Alien Ressurrection.

  • 10 years ago I rented this game from blockbuster in Clifton....it was pretty good. Graphics were pretty, the script was pretty good...why can't they make a sequel was based on sales. This should be on psn!!!

  • @kascnef82 This game is on the PSN for 7 bucks. You can't miss it

  • when fighting wyverns hit them on the tail!!

  • They should re-release this on the Nintendo DS, like they did Chrono Trigger.

    [C:

  • PS3 REMAKE PLS

  • The PsX era graphics were the greatest. There's just something far more memorable and fun about the games like this where not everything looked photo-realistic and glorified; it was just right. RIP good games.

  • This game right here, when I bought it I didn't like it at 1st cause I was too used to final fantasy, after a while tho it turned into one of my favorite games I could never beat...then as if by magic it disappeared from my collection and the face of the earth back in 2000 this and threads of fate were my favorite 2 games

  • This is my GAME!

  • if playstation would have kept releasing games like this i would have never upgraded

  • i had problems finishing this game, but it was worth it. Too bad we never got the sequel Squaresoft promise us. This game, Xenogears, and chrono cross kicked ass for story, gameplay, and music.

  • man this is my only rpg game i never beat... i made id through the forst and killed the dragon but after this I stucked...okay this is like 5 years ago and i never tried again...i think if i have enough time i will give this game a second chance...

  • Will SquareSoft re-make Vagrant Story ? Hopefully YES!!!

  • oh my god!!!! capcom's idea for the freaking nargacuga is an exact rip off of the dragon in this trailer 0_0

  • Hands down one of the best games I have ever played.....I played like 4 times over...

  • just looked at this on psn and i might buy it, only 5pounds lol ;D

  • hey does anybody know where on playstation network this game is available for purchase I've been wanting to play this game for hella long and i've been looking for it on the playstation network but it doesnt show it

  • FFVII looks like shit compared to this.

  • FFVII is much older so it's not really a fair comparison. FFVIII and FFIX didn't look any worse that Vagrant Story, though.

  • Graphics-wise, obviously FFVII is going to look out of date but that's no reason for it to have a weaker plot. Vagrant Story is perhaps the best game I've seen come out of Square Co. Ltd. with not only good graphics for it's time but great artistic visuals and the most in-depth, diverse and compelling storyline I've ever witnessed in a game.

  • i will agree, Vagrant Story is possibly the most under-rated game of all time. Could possibly be squares best. The most compelling and diverse storyline hands down has to go to Final Fantasy Tactics though in my opinion

  • Just bought it on playstation network!!, apart from the graphics this game seems way ahead of its time!

  • @xxxstitchxxx personally i thought the graphics were very impressive when i bout it on it's release

  • one of the most underrated games in the world.

    its simply epic.

  • I agree

  • @Kornburger

    underrated? i don't see why it's underrated , this games scores a good score on gamespot

    Legend of dragoon that game is underrated ! 6.1/10 damn

  • @sonikk4eva he would mean underated in general by the gamers. How many people do you know that even know this game exists? very few? yeah thought so.

  • Best thing is, it's now out on Playstation Network!

  • serious crazy! gonna get mgs1 and this :D

  • this game is a true masterpiece, one of the greatest gamesever made and the replay value was amazing, once you beat it, you got new levels and weapons to use, it was simply amazing.

  • one of the best games I have ever played

  • This is one of the coolest uderrated games Square ever put out! I too saw it in an old video game magazine and rushed out to buy it. I think I got stuck on the Golem boss and stopped playing it. I just now started playing it again after 8 YEARS! Why did I wait so long? This game ROCKS! It is so original! It's like the perfect blend of Final Fantasy and the Gothic themes and locale of Castlevania!!

  • I think the biggest problem with the game was the fact that you needed to level the weapons to fit diffirent monster types. It was really annoying to get those 1-5 damage per hit strikes.

  • Yeah, that WAS the only downer for me about this game...It took me forever to kill the troll boss 'cause of that very reason. If you are lucky enough to find a weapon suited to your needs you're all good, but usually you have to have a healthy stock of cure bulbs and roots to get by....

  • Yea, that was the main reason for me to stop playing. Was getting rather frustrating at some point. :)

  • It DOES do that, my friend! Imanaged to get my hands on an old Vagrant Story strategy guide. The ones on-line are terrible. The book outines EXACTLY what to do in step-by-step instructions! I'm convinced it is probably the only way to go tho beat it properly and find all the weapons, armor..etc.....Still LOVE this game!

  • @rang3r34 Where the hell is the fun in playing when all you do is follow step-by-step instructions? Casual.

  • Uhhh..What the HELL are you talking about?

  • @skulduggerous i agree, turning a game into a roboticly structured procedure is no fun at all

  • the best RPG

  • Best jRPG I've ever played.

  • Oh my god, I remember this game. I used to watch my dad play it. He got stuck on it a long time ago, and now, I finally got the storyline moving again after five years of walking around aimlessly.

  • Your dad played it? How old are you?! No, wait, how old is your dad??!!

  • Well, he's over 35... Lol

  • vagrant story is now available in japanese store!

    guess we ll get in soon in eu and us

    YEAH!

  • oh man times are changing

  • I thank its funny how the only Final Fantasies that are based in the same world that's not a compilation is FF tactics FF tactics advance FF 12 and somehow vagrant story is in the same world as 12 :D.

  • She should seriously make a remake on the PSP, I would DEFINITELY buy it.

  • Why remake it when it's already-- OH.... "buy"... Ok, nevermind.

  • Why a remake for psp? You can get it for the PS1.

  • @DJD3M0N1C4 They did in the PS strore, it's only a few dollars

  • @DJD3M0N1C4 they have

  • @DJD3M0N1C4 buy the game on psn =)

  • @DJD3M0N1C4 dude i fthey did i would be ready for it i play this game hmm mabye every 2 munths

  • i got this game for like £2 the other month(about 3 dollars) in good condition , was that a good deal?

  • for sure it was lol .. got mine for 10€ :D

  • really this game was kind of unik the difficulty the environment still i couldn't finish it and i just remember the things now

  • hi there! i have question

    sometime ago playing this i killed one of those birds whith a face on the abdomen

    thing is that the bird droped griomoire banish

    (that magic that kills u in1 hit)

    ive found that grimoire only one time

    have somebody else found it??

  • I have the new Parasite Eve 3 Trailer in my profile! I promise you that I will not disaapoint! Just go to my profile and you'll see it there! It's a video of someone shooting Aya in her wedding dress!!! Check it out!

  • yes i found it to,i loved this game and i played it several times,i gathered all grimore spells and find all parts of damacus armor silver armor,afther you finish the game once you start over again with all your powers and the blood sign tatooed on your back wich allowes you to enter the dors wich require blood sign and in wich you could not enter the first time

  • I found it too. The harpy at "Arms Againts Invaders", in Undercity East dropped it. You must try.

  • I loved this game back in the days but now I hate it. Why? Because its unplayable. Why? Because my left and right has become inverted and you cant change that in this game. Why? Ask Square...

  • Vagrant or FF?

  • looks fun

  • I am playing this game right now, as i type. i still own this offical game since the day it was released, its the best rpg action style yet since chrono cross. pretty good graphics for ps1 if you compare it to a NDS.

  • yes... a comparison from ps1 to the NDS makes much sense...

  • seeign as you can emulate it on the psp, yess

  • a comparison from ps1 to psp would make sense... but not to the ds.

  • he's comparing an emulated ps1 game on the psp to a game on the ds, saying that old emulated games still look better than newer handheld games

  • Fucking luv dis game and i read in sum square website dat vagrant story and ff 12 are both in the same country of ivalice u can c the resemblences between da 2 lyk da chain system and at da beginning of da game ashley was fighting a wyvern

  • I love this game...I got it when it first came out and still have it...I should play it through again.
