The ending credits. Does anyone else applaud whenever Matsuno, Yoshida, Sakimoto, or Alexander O. Smith show up?

At 5:04 why is Ashley pictured with Neesa and Tieger?

[Avendasora]

I've heard it rumored that originally there was supposed to be a bit where they join the party and fight with Ashley in a system much like the Snowfly Forest battle with Sydney. The rumors claim it was cut due to time or disc space constraints. I've never gotten any sort of confirmation on that - it could just have been someone's theory on why that picture exists - though the capability is obviously there.

Anyone know the name of the track being played?

[Avendasora]

The music for the credits is the very aptly named "Staff Roll". ;)

Why does HP and MP are extremely high since the beginning of the game?

[Avendasora]

Because this was a file from about my third time through the game. My reason for recording this was not to show off my MAD GAMING SKILLZ or anything, but to show the cinematic sequences to people who hadn't been able to get their hands on a copy of the game, or who couldn't get past a particular tough battle. To that end, I used a powered-up save file just to go through it quickly.

I've been through it like five more times since on the same file, and Ashley's even more overpowered. ;)

Yasumi Matsuno, Akihiko Yoshida, Hitoshi Sakimoto: the dream team.

Alexander O. Smith an unofficial member.

Square at the peak of its existence. NOTHING has come close since this in terms of quality. This epic credits sequence was the finest example of Square's mastery of musical compositions. Its a shame Final Fantasy XII did not quite meet the same level of expectations on the music department.

@stacetheface47 DeS 1-4 is full of dullahan and dark crusaders, and lvl 2 is limestone quarry of course

The reason Demon's Souls and Vagrant Story seem similar is due to the fact that both are inspired by the dark Gothic pulp fantasy artwork and mood of original D&D. Many of Vagrant story's monsters come straight from the original monster manuals. Matsuno is a master with deep respect for the origins. One of my top 5 games of all time I am disappointed that this soundtrack did not make HG101's best game soundtrack at #1 or even on the list. The soundtrack easily surpasses many Hollywood movies.

PSX, the best era of SQUARESOFT. PERIOD.

[stacetheface47]

@kubinskij1 Oh yeah i know both games have artstyles that are very similar to vagrant story and both games are extremely epic. I remember going through the level 2 in demon's souls and thinking how much it reminded me of vagrant story. Hell even the monsters from dark souls and demons souls look like the monsters from vagrant story. I still don't understand why vagrant story doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

@stacetheface47 i can not help to think about Vagrant Story everytime i play Demon Souls, i would dare to say, there are many things inspired by Vagrant Story in this 2 particular FROM games, DeS and DaS.

I remember reading the reviews for this game. all excellent reviews. but the sales, I guess, was disappointing.

I have hoped that Squaresoft would still do Vagrant Story 2. but Squaresoft is gone and so is this games sequel.

@MrDeathnotefan98 I also forgot to include ogre battle and ff12 which are both awesome and I agree FF9 is one the best games ever made and possibly the pinnacle of final fantasy game's since i kinda see 12 as a reboot in ways because of the direction it took.

[stacetheface47]

@Conchobhar Don't forget hiroshi minagawa the art director and the man responsible for the look of matsuno's games.

[stacetheface47]

@MrDeathnotefan98 i take my words back on hating 7. I like ff7 i just dislike the overzealous fanbase behind it. FF7 is damn good game but its not the best game ever there where several games before that were much more ground breaking in story telling then ff7 is given credit for. FF 8 and FF10 don't get me started on the over piece's of shit games. Idk my taste have change i really in to gritty dark rpg's like this, FFT, tactics ogre and games like Parasite eve 1,2, demon souls and xenogears.

[MrDeathnotefan98]

@stacetheface47 i like all FFs except 13, including 12, i also dont understand all the hate, however i still like 7,8 and 10, but i am far from saying 7 is the best, its way overrated, 9 will always be my favorite, but i still like all of them, including the ivilice ones, i just have a strong dislike to 13, as many of us do...
