Freeloading With Tactical RPG Vantage Master

Posted by simoniker on Friday July 23, 2004 @06:03PM from the load-em-up dept.

Thanks to 1UP for its 'Freeloading' article discussing Falcom's freely downloadable PC tactical RPG Vantage Master Online. According to the author, the title "surprising balance and depth of play", even though it "took rather a while to make, and by the time things were nearing completion it was showing its age pretty badly and was practically unmarketable. The usual course of action in that situation is to just ditch the project and cut one's losses. In Falcom's case, they wrapped it up, put it up for free download at their own expense, and even went so far as to make an English (sort of) translation."

You could show your them your sympathy and good heart by donating some pocket change to them.

Or you could buy their products, since they're a for-profit company. The Ys series is coming out for PS2 and PC.
