Never played this game. I heard it takes place in the same world as Final Fantasy XII

I will say again: best game of the 32-bit era, and proof of Square's lost touch.
Don't let the complexity deter you.

I can't wait to get home from work so that I can buy this and then not play it!
Must finish playthrough of Xenogears first.

One of my all time top 10. Games don't get better than this people, so take your time and enjoy it. If you get stuck (most likely the Snowfly Forest) Zy Nicholson's guide will save your arse

Never played this game and I am happy to see what all the fuss is about now.

This is one of my favorite games ever. I love the story. The game's fighting mechanic is rhythm-based. I was well into the game before I realized this. I never did finish the Iron Maiden.

I missed out on VS back in the day. Will download, looking forward to playing it.

Crazy how I'm spending more time playing old PS1 RPGs on my PS3 than anything else these days. Arc the Lad, Front Mission 3, Xenogears, now Vagrant Story.

Anybody want my 50% off Vagrant Story code that came with Tactics Ogre?
Bear in mind this is for the Euro PSN store. I already have the game from when it originally went up in Europe.
Edit: Thought I'd just add. I found it much more playable to customise the PSP controls as such. PSP controls on left, PSOne on right.

Down - L2 + R2

Easily one of the greatest games ever made. I'll buy it off of PSN, but I've already done everything you can possibly do in this game.

yup. I didn't see it under new releases but I found it when I did a search.
Bought it last week with the voucher despite owning it since release. I should have probably waited for the superior NTSC version but oh well.
Also, Type>>>>>Class/Affinity. Class is mostly unimportant compared to the other two and it's incredibly tedious not only to level but also to carry SIX weapons at all times. A different weapon of each type is more than enough to finish the game with ease. I did it again from scratch this January!

Ah, Vagrant Story. Bought it upon initial release (still have my pristine copy on the shelf), couldn't wrap my young mind around the mechanics, quit at about three hours in, went back a year or so later, decided to be patient and learn the game, finished it and fell in love. For six bucks no one has an excuse to not try it.
So someone please recommend me one. I bought Xenogears and now Vangrant Story and eventually will play both. But with which one should I start?
I've always seen Xenogears to be compared to a FFVII type of game, but I have never plaed it.
I played a bit of Vagrant Story back in the day, I mostly watched my bro play, but I liked it.

Considering the image and guide posted, I understand this is a difficult RPG not for the beginner?

For anyone playing the first time thru, an FAQ on the game mechanics is REQUIRED READING. Seriously. If you don't study up on at least how to properly train your weapons you WILL get stuck.
