Very belated thoughts on Vagrant Story (see: am actually on the second playthrough now) in no particular order:

--calling a starter weapon 'Fandango' probably was with the intention that the player have Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in their head for the first quarter of the game.... but it probably wasn't supposed to be the Weird Al version.

--"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!" <--doesn't stop being funny.

--HEY EVERYBODY DO WE HATE ROSENCRANTZ? OH BOY WE ALL HATE ROSENCRANTZ. ALSO HE SMELLS. (thank you Sydney) WHO KEEPS INVITING HIM TO ALL THE PARTIES? OH WAIT. WE ALL DO. (i kinda loved rosencrantz.)

--two. hour. final. boss. battle.

--and 'flight of the bumblebee' would have been very appropriate music for it, I think. That thing looked like a giant hornet. Buzz motherfucker BUZZ.

--and I still think this game would make for the best Labyrinth spoof ever. (I mean, seriously. Just take the whole Magic Dance sequence and put in Sydney and Hardin. It's fun for the whole family.)

--( Anyway, have a post-game ficbit... )
