Very Underrated.

Vagrant Story is one of the most underrated games and at the same time one of the best games made it in years.

Why not everybody like it?, one of the reasons is having a battle system very different from other games, it´s not easy to swallow at first but after a while you get use to it.

The first thing to make clear is that VS is not fully a RPG, is more a hybrid between various genres, there´s some RPG elements but there´s also action and you can explore like in a plataform game. Saying that don´t expect to visit towns and talk to people like in a RPG.

Yasumi Matsuno, creator of this game and another gem from Square, Final Fantasy Tactics, did a marvelous job along with his staff, including the composer of the music Hitoshi Sakimoto.

The plot is unique, very original, not the tipycal hero-has-to-save-the-world-collecting-crystals-and-stopping-a-villian, the characters are also a lot more complex than many characters from other games, the battle system requires all the attention from the player, if you want to survive you have to know everything that is requirer in order to kill the enemies, avoiding traps and a lot more.

I really liked that you can create your own weapons, that makes every battle different from another, keeping it from getting repetitive, and you have to master that aspect too if you want to have good weapons.

Great game in all it´s aspects, a truly underrated masterpiece.
