There are also other things that I could get into, but won't (like break arts and magic). That is a very rough explanation of the basic combat system. If you press one of the three buttons which you have a special attack assigned to right as your weapon hits the enemy (kind of like shooting Squall's gunblade in FF8), your special ability (or attack) will be performed. Press the circle another time (after you've chosen which body part and which target you attack), and your character will attack. Throughout the game, you will learn abilities which you can assign to triangle, square, or circle. If there are any enemies in the circle, then you can choose which body part you want to attack, by moving the D-pad. While there are close range weapons, (swords, axes, etc.), there are also long range ones (crossbows). By pressing circle on the controller, a circle forms around the areas your weapon can reach. In this game, you see the enemies, (there are no random battles). I'm not going to explain the whole battle system, but I will give you a rough idea of how it plays. It took me about 2 hours to fully get used to the complex battle and equipment system. To start out, I experimented a little, knowing absolutely nothing about the combat system, etc. There is no in-game tutorial (Ed's note: yes there is, and a very helpful one that does more to explain things than the instruction manual), and the only real directions you have for the game can be found in the booklet which comes with the game. Just after all the opening sequences, you jump right into the game. The intro lasts just over five minutes, and truly seems like a work of art. While there's no voice acting, the sounds of swords clashing and cool, suspenseful music make it seem more like a movie. It has some fancy camera work, and added effects such as blurring in certain parts make it seem very cinematic, giving you the idea that you're watching a movie. Although the cinema is not pre-rendered, that doesn't make it any less cinematic. The game starts out with an opening ''sequence'' (this is NOT a pre-rendered CG cinema like those found in FF8). There've been countless epic RPG's, and Square always seems to add a new twist to the whole genre. Square has been bringing us the most stylish and entertaining games on the gaming market. There is nothing here that's 2D the characters and environments are all fully 3D."
very smooth and life-like animations, stunning cinemas, phenomenal lighting, detailed polygons. "The graphics in Vagrant Story are some of the best I've seen in a while.
