Vagrant Story 25th Anniversary

True, otherwise folks would rage at its wokeness, what with the dude protagonist's name being Ashley and his asscheeks hanging out instead of Callo's. Also cos of the various men in skirts, corsets and catsuits.
Interesting how different people visually interprete things.....
But seriously the whole belly dancer would likely be cut or blurred out.
And you're right some journalist will say there would be some LGBTQ metaphor in there somewhere.
 
It would if you were worth chronicling 😉
Well, the prototypical response for this joust would be "no worries, they don't seem to be worth reading." But instead, I am going to say that the only real thing worth chronicling and reading about is Vagrant Story. Which is what we can both agree on, I hope.
 
Loved it back in the day though never managed to finish as the combat was brutal, though very engaging - sort of remember that attacking you had to get an enemy in a green sphere-like wireframe.. and also use of targeting of body parts, like Fallout?

Also the graphics were one of the best I've seen on an RPG. And for some reason I remember rats. Though it's all very blurry. But positive memories.
 
PSX era Square was incredible.

I would take a hit in graphic fidelity if they would have this kind of output again
 
I loved that game. No idea how I did it but I killed the last boss by doing some insane combo with a bow. He had no chance to even fight back.

I miss the good old times when we got great games all the time.
 
What a fantastic time to be a gamer.

Just some absolute bangers.

Music in VS was fantastic and the model rendering was a thing of beauty when it first released (still holds up today!!). My original PS1 was in its final days when this came out so I played it mostly with the console flipped over.
