Anyone who played Final Fantasy XII will instantly recognise that Vagrant Story had the same director, Yasumi Matsuno. Sights, sounds and everything else in between. He’s the reason you can pick up Vagrant Story today and still see a beautiful game, despite how pixellated textures can appear. Remarkable for little touches like how the mouths actually moved when people spoke during in-game cut-scenes. Even if they were speaking with comic book speech bubbles, it’s hard to think of another PS1 game that animated the mouth movements, generally opting for head bobbing instead.
