Good review and excellent choice of a beautiful title; I'd give it 4.5 stars, but the 40/40 from "Famitsu" (which back then was TRULY reliable and harsh in giving scores) convinces me that this game can indeed reach 5 stars. Unfortunately, I never finished "Vagrant Story": I started it a while ago and was amazed by the visionary artwork, the excellent graphics, and especially the stunning character design (shocking hair and costumes, like Ashley with her rear end exposed), not to mention the finesse of the combat controls and menus (the model of Ashley with the wounded areas), but I must admit it is really complex and so if the player is not very interested, they risk abandoning it after the first dungeon (and fortunately that's not my case; I want to continue as soon as I get the chance). "Vagrant Story" is a beautiful game, and if you have the time and desire to play it, you'll notice it, but the complexity and dedication required to finish it can potentially make it tedious. A note on "Famitsu": until a couple of years ago it was still reliable and sometimes gave shocking scores (40/40 to "Nintendogs"), but logical and justified (if you play "Nintendogs," you'll see), but recently I don't know how much I can trust a perfect score: are we really convinced that "428", a graphic adventure entirely written and photographed where the maximum interaction is choosing A or B, deserves a 40/40 (which the Japanese love so much, yes, but everything has its limits: YouTube video non trovatoMO2ByS0YvrI) And "Monster Hunter 3," which is nice, but 40/40??? Hmm. According to a friend of mine, they lately give high scores to what they need to promote, but it's strange because apart from these exploits, all the other games still fall between 10 and 20 points and between 20 and 30, so there is still a certain degree of objectivity because I can't believe that masterpieces come out every week, can I?
