Vagrant Story out on PSP and PS3 this week [Update]

vagrantstory

Did you know Vagrant Story was releasing for PSP and PS3 in Europe this week? We didn’t. And yet it’s true. It’s a crazy world we live in.

The dungeon-crawling RPG was first released in 2000, and is a bit of a classic. You’d do well to give it a waz.

Thanks, Spiral.

Update: Bad news. We’ve just been told by Square that the date – taken from the company’s newsletter – is actually wrong. The game’s coming to PSN soon, but not this week. We’ll let you know as soon as the correct date’s announced.

    I bet this’ll look great on the PSP!

    Shame I could never get on with it. It was a fabulous-looking game in its day.

    I knew!

    What do I win?

    where is my Vagrant story? This better be released for the states. If not I guess I will make a Europe account

  4. Domo said:

    Wonderful game. Still has the best final line in a game intro ever. :)

    I’ll give this another go.
    I had this with my PS2. I got stuck early on and gave up.
    I think it deserves another chance.

    I never got to play it the first time round. Couldn’t find it in the shops. Quite looking forward to it.

  7. Spiral said:

    Aww boo. Oh well.

    Absolutely wonderful game. Deserves a sequel, or even a remake.

    Damn them.

  11. Quiiick said:

    “Vagrant Story” is one of the best games I ever played.
    Spent more than 200 hours with this gem.
    Go get it, when available!

  12. The Hindle said:

    Will have to buy this me thinks

    @ Suikoden Fan

    But isn’t this is Square’s mistake, releasing the wrong date in their newsletter?

  14. Quiiick said:

    … still hope there will eventually will be a “Vagrant Story 2” some day!

  15. Suikoden Fan said:

    i’m talking about general there, everything seems to get delays and whatnot when it comes to the eu psn.

  16. Detale said:

    Fair enough, can’t argue with that.

    OH MY GOD! THIS IS AMAZING! OH GOD! OH GOD! I’M GOING TO HAVE A BIG WANK IN EXCITEMENT!!!!!

  18. Gekidami said:

    Never played it. Going off the name though i’m guessing its about hobos?

  19. It’s about a “Riskbreaker” (some sort of elite military unit, think Soldier from FFVII) called Ashley Riot who has to hunt down and kill some dudes from an evil organisation in the ruins of an ancient city.

    It had an awesome combat system that Square would do well to revisit, and had a cool system for building weapons too.

  20. dirigiblebill said:

    …and it has some of the best writing and most true-to-concept-art visuals of any game ever ever ever.

  21. DrDamn said:

    It comes to something when the tipping point which will convince me to pick up a PSPGo is the prospect of having pocket friendly PSOne classics to play.

  22. Dr.Ghettoblaster said:

    DOH!

  23. Still have my original copy of this. *dances*

  24. Blerk said:

    Me too. I’m almost tempted to have another pop at it.

  25. Raises hands for “got the original” club.
