Yeah, he just said that. He's a badass.
Callo Merlose, Ashley's partner.
Another example of Vagrant Story's superlative use of lighting.
Syndey Losstarot, the antagonist of Vagrant Story. Cult-leader, murderer, prophet, bad choice for a
He's not one to mince words, this Ashley Riot.
Vagrant Story's lighting effects were extremely impressive for their day and remain so.
Ashley faces off against a dragon in a cathedral, in one of the game's earliest encounters.

Vagrant Story Original Sound Track
"Are you saying that Junpei shouldn't be fucked?"
"You honestly thought you could just kill character design this badass? Think again."
I think I had a joke for this, but JUST NOW realized that I'm playing as Reyn from Xenoblade.
"Big bad wolves are people too."
"This podcast ain't gonna record itself."
Oh. Now that faerie tale line makes perfect sense.
Gotta love it when games start things off with completely fake quotes to establish credibility.
That's how you know it's in the Ivalice universe.
"Can he..."....Oh, fuck. Sharla's here, too? How much longer until I meet a zombie robot lady?
"Being mostly poor peasants, they don't have a lot to offer."
I THOUGHT I PUT THIS BEHIND ME.
"We're gonna fish-eye the FUCK out of this door!"
He's talking about a floating rock.
REACTION SHOT, MOTHERFUCKER.
That doesn't make a lot of sense.
"THAT'S where babies come from!?"
Did Nietzsche ever go on some huge Japan-wide tour that I'm completely unaware of?
"First order of business: no shitty-ass motion controls."
For context: Sydney asked what this guy thought of his drawing.
"And with your dark powers, cure me of the glossolalia that plagues me so."
Still no idea what black and white ghost children are doing here.
It never fucking becomes night in this game.
"It's self evident from the term. Do I really need to explain this to you?"
"Wait, shouldn't you know that? You were just explaining what undying means, weren't you?"
Her name isn't Sydney. That's not even a girl's name.
"Christ, and I thought MY speech impediments were bad."
I'd make a believer258 joke here if I was sure that he was on GameSpot back in the day.
"I shall be his angel of death."
REACTION SHOT, MOTHERFUCKER.
This is why I don't want to discuss religion with you. It always goes bad.
That hair covering his eye just bumped his anime rating up, like, 20 goddamn points.
Just in case you doubted that this is an Ivalice game.
"But Fallout 3 to-" "FORGET WHAT FALLOUT 3 TOLD YOU."
"We'll have to amputate."
I spent so much time on this screen before realizing it was dialogue.
Even without the weight of the Ivalice universe, that sounds fucking dumb.
WHAT A BADASS GODDAMN FIGHT.
"Last time I turn SafeSearch off."
"SOMEBODY has to be the responsible parent."
"It's liquid sunshine in a bottle! It makes the pain of living go away."
"Why did I think that hair style looked good?"
"Tell me, Ashley, what's today?" "July 5th....OH GOD!"
"A recollection of facts or previously experienced events?" "Fucking smartass."
"So now you understand just how bad an idea a tramp stamp would be."
Those pot brownies are JUST starting to kick in.
"His springy tail will be of immense help in summoning the undead."
This would be the place for a dick joke if not for that thing on his lip. The hell is that?
Still not sure what that crap on his lip is.
"The inside of the Moon is no place for a picnic."
Somebody Photoshop a medieval Law and Order.
Racism is a rampant problem in video game land, apparently.
"I didn't know it was possible to fuck up losing."
Oh god, Onimusha's blending into my Vagrant Story!
For some reason, he still looks like a 2D drawing.
"And to bring others with him."
That's not his name. That's an actual word.
Must....resist....Persona....references....
OH GOD, WHAT IS THAT FUCKING THING!?
"Aren't you cold, Ashley?"
"They will specifically come to this area to sing of how you died before your Reyn time."
What a strange question to ask....ever, really, but especially now.
"(My speech therapist sucks.)"
What a completely non-ominous name.
So just another Tuesday, then?
"It" prefers to be called a he. Dick.
"The Ant Lord commands you!"
Yep, that's a wall you're looking at.
"So can you do that?" "Not at all."
"It takes a lot of courage to sit there, blurring gender lines."
"I killed him with my telepathy. You shall soon share his fate."
"That my name isn't Silence, for one."
The deed is almost done. None can stand in Joshua's way.
And this is where the quality takes an obvious nosedive.
"Did the levies break around Lea Monde? What's going on around here?"
"We're supposed to be parodying Wind Waker. There's no room for Kingdom Hearts references."
Or whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.
"I just said it was a test. Were you even listening?" "Damn it, man! IS THIS A TEST!?"
I think we can pinpoint the exact moment of his stroke.
Like on the....I know it's associated with something in this game's art.
I don't even know what to do with this screenshot. A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING.
"A heretic at prayer, in a church? Passing bold, ten year old Ramza."
"A here-"-damn it, I already used the Final Fantasy Tactics joke.
Wasn't this a joke on American Dad? Is the Duke going to become a Satanist by the end of this?
"He's kind of an idiot like that."
Continuity references. Huzzah.
Didn't you lose them in a dumb alchemy experiment when you were ten?
The offering that I don't think ever happens ever.
Reaction shot the cardinal numberth.
"I will murder you instead."
That's how high the ceiling is. A work of....something. Not entirely sure.
No, seriously, what the fuck is this?
No, I just realized that this is a dumb design mechanic.
Like I have any clue, either.
"Help me remember the last time I actually mattered to the plot!"
He's not magically flying through the Cathedral. Yes, I thought that at first, too.
Did Marik Ishtar and Edwarc Elric crash in a high speed collision?
I don't think it's ever made entirely clear.
This is how Nazis are born.
Except in this case, when Ashley comes in to beat the hell out of him.
"They're juggling pineapples, and one of them has my mother's face. No idea what to make of that."
"But I can't fly, Sydney." ".....This complicates things."
"I wasn't paying attention. Could you start over?" "....Goddamn it, Hardin."
You sure are uncertain about these major things a lot of the time.
I like to imagine him saying these words as he performs the action.
Yep, it's still awesome art.
Yep, this game looks fantastic.
"Why won't you let me get a tramp stamp, but you get an entire fucking back tattoo?"
"Tell me when you've come, though. I can't hear a fucking thing."
There's a lot more to the situation than THAT.
Well, if it isn't a truth, then he didn't commit the sins.
"Join us in the glorious future of obvious artistic choices."
Not sure how that would work. Wouldn't standing in one place prevent you from moving forward?
Wait, are there any users with Darkness in their names?
"You don't remember my name, do you?"
So Ashley's technically homeless. We're just going to ignore this major revelation like it's nothing
"You still have a couple of bosses to beat down."
How badass and ripped from the beginning of Kingdom Hearts.
"Let me hold you in my loving embrace."
Reaction shot the too manyth.
His first words, and they're horribly depressing.
"My name's Joshua." "Why didn't you tell me?" "..........."
"I'm a doctor, now, apparently. I pronounce you dead. Cause of death? ME."
Leave what? Lea Monde's in ruins. There's not a lot left for him to cover.
"How do you even stretch them that far?"
I think that's as close as I could ever get to his smug fucking smirk.
Nothing to say, really, other than this is a good screenshot.
Goodbye, Ivalice. Hello, Matrix.
Or Kingdom Hearts II. Whichever works.
"Is that a Heartless I spot?"
The real twist: Lea Monde is French for Outer Heaven.
Seen here, in all his badass glory.
Now you know who to thank.
"Taku, you handle the programming. Yoshiki, get to work on that logic."
BOW IN WORHSIP OF YOUR NEW GODS.
Makes all the sense in the world.
Um, why did he need a motion actor? I don't remember too many complex action scenes or anything.
They translated the FUCK out of this game.
And they edited the FUCK back in.
I like to imagine Jeff walking in each morning, shouting "I'M BRINGING THE LOVE!"
"We must credit our customer service hotline AT ALL COSTS."
WHAT? WHERE WAS THE DOG IN THE GAME!? THERE WERE NO DOGS IN VAGRANT STORY!
Like a horrible combination of Quartz and Squirts.
"Our American Friends can piss the hell off."
"OK, you guys, which one of you put the Dentsu in my car? We're not leaving until this is sorted out
