![]() Good news about EA doing preview packs on FIFA. GC: You’d do well to wait for the review. How the hell have they allowed this to happen? Sure, they want to make the game as accessible to as many people as possible, but why not simply have an auto shot like before and let the experienced players use manual accuracy? What a complete and utter travesty of a decision. You simply set the shot power and the accuracy is randomised! ![]() ![]() Well now I appear to have talked myself into dusting off my copy and… aww why has my PS1 turned tobacco stain yellow in the loft…?Īfter writing in begging Inbox magic for a new Mario Golf (which was answered) and then replying with dismay at seeing there was no Birdo (which has probably been answered with the free DLC) I have noticed another shocker has been confirmed – there is no accuracy bar. To my knowledge the game has never even been re-released as a download in its original form, making owning a PS1 and a copy the game the only way it can still be played other than illegal emulation. Although it was nice that Final Fantasy 12 was set in the same world and had some references. To this day Vagrant Story remains my favourite Square game after Final Fantasy 7 and I’ve always been gutted they’ve never returned to the franchise. The atmosphere of Dark Souls always reminded me a little of Vagrant Story anyway, with the one character gameplay, lonesome feel, rock hard combat, and very few other characters to interact with. In response to Cubby’s Reader’s Feature on Sunday about the Stranger Of Paradise demo, if Square Enix really want to dabble in Dark Souls style game play then a Vagrant Story sequel, or even remake or reboot, would be a perfect way for them to explore this. We could easily see them do just one game at a time for the rest of the year. GC: That’s a good guess about having another small Stare of Play. It’d be a real shame if this were the case, as E3 is a time where gamers look forward to the big announcements for the year and for the console industry leader to completely separate itself from this celebration of gaming would be very disappointing.Īnd I say this as someone who particularly enjoys Sony’s first party games and will most likely buy a PlayStation 5, once I’ve gotten through my PlayStation 4 backlog and PlayStation 5s are more readily available. And yeah, I’ve tried a couple of times with Square, now Square Enix, saying, “you’re not doing anything with it we’d love to have a go at that one.” Yeah, that’s a personal favourite, so I’ll keep trying.If Sony doesn’t produce an E3 showcase-esque State of Play within the next week or two, then I can only put this down to arrogance on Sony’s part, where they believe they don’t ‘need’ to be at/around E3 in any capacity. In fact, I think I’m right in saying that it’s a game that got ten out of tens through quite a number of sites. I have tried twice, to no avail, with Vagrant Story, which was a game released by Square at the very end of PlayStation One era. To this, Struthers revealed his great love of Vagrant Story and desire to see it return, saying ![]() Speaking to Australian publication Well-Played, and their interviewer Adam Ryan at PAX Australia 2022, Graeme, one of Devolver Digital’s co-founders, was asked about what pre-existing franchises he’d love for Devolver to be involved with, considering the recent success that they’d had with the revival of the Monkey Island IP by pairing with Ron Gilbert and Disney to bring the franchise back in the form of Return To Monkey Island. It turns out that Graeme Struthers is a big fan of what 1990’s and early 2000’s Square was working on, Vagrant Story, the company’s second last original title on the PlayStation. It did some incredibly inventive things for its time, and was critically acclaimed for it, but sadly we’ve never seen any more of it enter Graeme Struthers and Devolver Digital, who want to find a way to revive the long-lost IP. Vagrant Story did some fascinating things in its day in that it features no shops and no player interaction with other characters, it included a first-person, 360-degree view. ![]() Devolver Digital and Vagrant Story don’t seem like a logical pairing do they? For those who know of the beloved year 2000, PlayStation One JRPG from Square then you’ll likely agree that the franchise and the publisher don’t really fit together, but for those unaware of the IP you’re likely all at sea right about now. ![]()
