    Game of the Month February 2024: Vagrant Story




    Valiant Gamers' inaugural Game of the Month is Vagrant Story! Released in 2000, Vagrant Story tells the tale of Ashley Riot, a Riskbreaker agent investigating a corrupt politician with occult ties in the kingdom of Valendia. The game's setting takes place in Ivalice, the same world first featured in Final Fantasy Tactics and explored later in Final Fantasy XII. The gameplay is a hybrid of real-time action and tactics-oriented RPG elements. The soundtrack, composed by...

    Full Circle

    Before 2001, the Internet looked much different than it does today. Google was still in its early days, and large social media hubs like Reddit and Facebook weren't even a concept. Most online traffic centered around scattered pockets of forums and chat rooms. One such forum, Gamingforce, hosted a user base passionate not only for video games but also video game music.

    In 2001, a handful of Gamingforce users, eager to realize their own vision, set off to make an online space of their...

  • Gaming Valiantly: An Essay by Sarah Valentine
    by Sarah Valentine
    As people grow older, the people and hobbies they identified with as teenagers may fall by the wayside. Gamers may give up gaming for the sake of a more adult lifestyle, or change the kinds of games they play. The people they once enjoyed hanging out with may be replaced by new co-workers, or not replaced at all but simply left behind. For some aging gamers, isolation and loss of identity can set in, leading to mental health issues on top of the physical health issues common to getting older. As...

  • One Year of Valiant Gamers
    by Random Encounter

    When Althena proposed to Selbaek and me the idea of getting our online groove back, I wasn't sure what the future would look like. But in a year's time, we've had a lot of fun and have built a nice little community in the process. I look forward to another year of seeing where this community experiment takes us!

    Tomorrow night at 7:30pm CT/8:30pm ET, we will be getting together on our Twitch channel to discuss what this last year's been like and what's in store. We...

  • The First Descendant
    by Mr Croft
    As of this writing, I currently have 350.6 hours in The First Descendant and the game is currently in the midpoint of its first season. I can personally say although the start of this game can be a slog; the endgame character building, seamless gameplay, and unique and fun characters compensates for a vast majority of its issues.


    The First Descendant as of now has a total of 22 characters to play as; but starts by having you pick one of the three starting “Descendants”. The...

  • Valiant Together and New Features
    by Random Encounter
    It stands to reason that one of the purposes of a video gaming community is to come together and play some games. To that end, we recently held our first site-wide game night this past Tuesday. The turnout was quite good, and a lot of fun was had playing the FPS classic Doom! Our plan is to hold a Valiant Together night once a month, with a different game each event. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please check out the forum for news and announcements for future events!...
