i was just browsing random threads then noticed a guy had ashley riot as his avatar, which immediately made me think, holy shit that guy would be perfect, vagrant story has a deserved reputation and is reveared by lesser rpg chumps, so putting his face on the cover gritting his teeth at mitsurugi could potentially arouse the interest of the thousands of people that have played it and loved it, some of the 100,000 people that bought it within the first 20 days of release? and that was a game that people tended to remember as it looked and felt so different from from anything else.
i can just see him sticking a sword in lizardmans gut and then punching him in the face before kicking him off it sending him to the ground and finally stomping on him just to be sure :)
ashley riot is both brutal and graceful, he has everything a guest character needs.
i reackon the fans of vagrant story would definitely pay to see their hero come back in modern graphics and this way namco could net alot of hardcore rpg players that would normally not have much interest in SCV
