Hey guys, once again the newbie creates another topic. It's about Vagrant Story as the Subject suggests Have you guys played it? It's been one of my all-time favorite games in my life. Here's a youtube video of it, it's on the original PlayStation:

Tell me if you've ever played it. It's in my Top 3 for games with the best story.
Vagrant Story, have you played it? Just curious
It is not only one of the best stories, it is one of the best localizations in the history of videogames, right alongside its sister game Final Fantasy XII (and the new version of Final Fantasy Tactics on PSP, subtitled The War of the Lions). Interestingly, these all belong to the same general grouping of games as part of the "Ivalice Alliance" movement, and it must be noted that not all games from Square-Enix have such great localizations, and in fact, very few measure up to the quality of those three in particular. Go figure.
But yes, fantastic game. I actually don't care for the gameplay much and have always had a lot of trouble micromanaging it, yet I still consider it easily one of the best games to ever hit the Playstation. Even if the gameplay isn't entirely my style, it's hard to deny that it works for what it is, and the story, music, and art direction are some of the very best. I really grew to like Hitoshi Sakimoto via that soundtrack, and became an even bigger fan after his work on FFXII.
