MAGE CAST episode #052 – “Respect for Faerie Tales” (Vagrant Story)

Vagrant Story hates the player but we love you! That’s why we here at Mage Cast are making things simpler by tackling just what makes this game such a tough nut to crack. It’s a Vagrant Story podcast! Together with my special guest, Cory the Senior Games Editor of Popzara.com, we cover topics like what makes the game so demanding, how to overcome its convoluted systems, its mixture of genres and postgame content, its disrespect for players, Vagrant Story’s place in the Final Fantasy world of Ivalice, and what we’d fix in a potential remake (U and I both know we’d fix the UI!).
