Vagrant Story PlayStation

You must always activate background options to use spells and special abilities in the middle of a fight.

Certain options in the menu will only appear if you're in a certain mode (ie. battle mode) or in a certain place (ie. workshop).

Bats are most harmless and simplest to defeat creatures you'll encounter.

Only in workshops can you assemble and dismantle weapons and shields, and repair stuff.

Zooming out the game may prove useful when in combat or for noticing something.

Changing weapons, shields, armour, upgrading stuff, using magic... learning quick navigation through ingame menu is a must.

In menu you may check your health status and condition.

Beside ingame mini-map, you can check every corner in detail of already explored areas on bigger one.

You can also be in first-person mode, but cannot move while in it.

This blue lights are the only places you can save your game at.

Even after you strike, you can use certain ingame option for some extra doings.

Fighting is very similar to "Parasite Eve", where you see the radius your weapon can reach.

All the cutscenes in the game look like this.
