This game is a masterpiece. I sometimes turn on just to watch the 10-minute interactive intro of game. The cinematography, the music, the dark atmosphere, the incredibly literate script (bravo Alexander O. Smith).
"I say let the Lord be our shield!"
"The only shield I see is the one covering yer eyes!"
"Swine'll take wing before we use Magick!"
"Maybe so, but with a Grimoire yer fattest sow could outfly the swiftest Falcon."
I recently packed away all my games. All I have is a PS2, Vagrant Story and bunch of new PS2 games. I#m playing through it again with the PS2 Smooth Texture mode enabled to improve the graphics which it does quite a bit.
I'm searching for a interview I read back a while with the creators. They talk of "organic game devevlopment" and not working to any specific marketing plan. This is clearly a game by fans for fans. This is no conveyor belt title. This is a gourmet meal to other games McDonalds.
