Vagrant Story Confirmed For PSN Release
It's good news time for Squaresoft fans who also happen to be Sony fans! Following in the fine tradition of Final Fantasy VII, Playstation Network will soon see the release of the classic Squaresoft RPG Vagrant Story, easily playable on a PS3 or PSP system.
As the first game to take place in the fantasy world of Ivalice (later the setting for Final Fantasy Tactics and XII), Vagrant Story sets a dramatic pace with its opening cutscene and continues from there, telling the story of mercenary, rogue, and all-around vagrant Ashley Riot as he navigates a kingdom on the edge of a feudal conflict. Its practical elements include range-based action-RPG combat and one of the deepest weapon-fusing systems to be found in a Playstation game. More astute readers might remember that it was also one of the first games ever to receive a perfect score in Famitsu, back when it was hard to do.
It was originally hoped that Vagrant Story would see a PSN release as early this week, but that date has disappeared, so gamers looking to step into Ashley Riot's shoes and get medieval will have to wait at least another week.

Oh my holy crap!
There is a special place in my heart for the scantly clad androgynies of Vagrant Story. (long heavy sigh with doe eyes)
Aw, dangit. i paid a hundred dollars for a physical copy of the game, and now it's coming on psn for what, ten dollars?
damn you, sony.
damn you to heck.
Awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on this game again.
I never did finish this game......
It got really really hard.
I still have my physical copy so probably won't buy the digital version. But it might be an excuse to have another go at it :)
Yes! That's awesome news. :) Vagrant Story was always one of my PS1 faves.
Fun times!
Although, Vagrant story came out close to 3 years after FF Tactics, effectively making it the second game set in Ivalice.
