Vagrant Story

In the latest newsletter that was sent today Square Enix has announced that Vagrant Story will be released on the European PlayStation Network soon.

"Way back at the dawn of time (better known as the year 2000), a certain video games company called SQUARE made a game called VAGRANT STORY, which stormed the charts, became a genre-defining classic and, amongst other things, garnered a perfect score from Famitsu magazine - so pretty much business as usual for character design god Akihiko Yoshida. But the great news is that SQUARE ENIX are bringing it to the PS3 and the PSP - no confirmed date yet, but it'll be soon!"

At first Square Enix said that the game will be released tomorrow, but it seems the date was wrong.
