In addition to Chain Abilities, Defensive Abilities allow Ashley to reduce or reflect damage or avoid status ailments. This is done by pressing buttons in timely succession, making combat resemble a rhythm game. The battle system involves the player chaining different attacks known as Chain Abilities to achieve large combos and deal damage to the enemy. Individual body parts within this sphere can be targeted. In Battle Mode, when the player taps the attack button, a spherical gride appears around Ashley. In the field map, players may engage the enemy as soon as they enter Battle Mode, which uses a pausable real-time combat system, much like Square's Parasite Eve (1998). This stage is optional and can be turned off from the menu. Players must reach the end of the room in the shortest time possible, after which they are ranked. When the player returns to a completed block puzzle room, a time-attack mode called "Evolve, or Die!!" begins. During the game, the player must sometimes solve block puzzles to advance the story. Navigation is in real-time, and areas accessed by the player are stored in an in-game map menu.Īshley can run, jump, and push crates and cubes to navigate around obstacles, adding puzzle and platforming elements to gameplay. Characters and sprites are proportionate with each other, and the player navigates Ashley on a three-dimensional field map.
The player may also switch into first-person perspective to allow for a 360° view using the START button or right analog stick on the game controller.
Vagrant Story is a solo action role-playing game, in which the player controls Ashley Riot from a third-person perspective while exploring Leá Monde and the catacombs underneath.
