After a stunning debut on the Sega CD with Lunar: The Silver Star, Working Designs set about finding another epic RPG to appease the new and old fans. In this they were successful and acquired the rights to a Japanese game called Vay, and published it with another of their unique translations. Now we get a chance to revisit the game 14 years later.

This is a good start for the new 2.0 OS, but this game has serious game play issues.

I have been waiting for an app like this to come out - I even thought about writing my own since I am a Developer as well, but the time involved in coming up with the storyline, characters, items, animations bla bla bla would take forever from scratch.

Great for something that came out so soon after 2.0... I just wish there was a way to see item stats. Besides that it's my favorite game so far!

As a proud owner of the Sega-CD version, I was floored this game was remade at all! So far, it's a very faithful port and a blast to play. The control scheme works well once you get used to it, and works best in battles, which zip by quickly. My only true gripe is that no item or armor stats are listed in shops and unlike the Sega CD version of the game, the game never lists a monsters name.

Worth every penny. Best game on iphone/touch ever. Buy it!!! :]

It is really cool to have an rpg on the iPhone/iPod. I have noticed some spelling errors though. Also when you speak to shop keepers, I would expect a portrait or something, but it is a black screen. I hope a free update comes along and adds polish to the game. Still a much appreciated and commendable effort.

How am I the first one to rate this? It's absolutely awesome. For final fantay-esque entertainment, this is the way to go.

For what is essentially a launch RPG for the iPhone, I'm quite impressed with this outing. It's a port of an old school RPG from the mid 90s, and it shows somewhat with the cliched story and old style controls and gameplay, but it's still enjoyable. The control scheme is interesting and can be annoying, but is manageable. I hope to see more games like this in the future.

This game is awesome for the iPhone and it works great with the touch screen. My only complaint is that when I updated, I lost my saved game and my backup save!

I like this game, but the only problems I have with it are the controls, they are kinds of a hassle. I'm not suggesting accelerometer or anything like that, just maybe in that space to the right with your characters and everything you could add a d-pad or something like that, that would make this game a lot better...the only other thing are the graphics...now that we've seen some amaIng RPG's, the old ones are a little out dated...I understand this is a port, but could you polish things up a little bit...maybe even get it looking more like the classic RPG Pokemon, or zelda...any of these would be amazing changes...And I would also like to see the shop changes with the buy then learn what it does issue resolved...I would reccommend for now, but as soon as a more polished RPG is released, like the rumored panphobia (google it), then this one will not be played unless they polish it up...

This game has good interface ( automatic & manual game save, smart combat system, etc. ). It is a lot of fun to play. I wish we could have more RPGs like this one.

If you enjoy the old SNES style RPG then this is for you! I was very sad when I beat it again! I think SoMoGa should create "Vay : Part II" - I love old school RPG games!

Vay is a pretty simple game to get into and play. The entire game is controlled by the touch screen, obviously. Movement isn't exactly precise, and it can be rather annoying at times when you want your character to move a certain place and you can't get him to go there. Maybe for the next update, it would be possible to add a D-Pad on the touch screen? Combat is the traditional turn based combat you would expect from an RPG. Nothing really innovative or new, but hey, you get your money's worth. As an avid RPG gamer, I did find the menu to be rather poor, especially because when you buy or equip items, it doesn't show what characters can equip them or how their stats will be affected. Overall it's a great first effort for an RPG for the Ipod, and one I would recommend to anyone who likes traditional RPGs.

 With all the games that are on the app store that are more than $5 and are complete junk, it's great to see a full fledged RPG come out that could easily to for $10 - $15 for only $5. I love this game, it bring the Final Fantasy feel to the iPhone with hours upon hours of gameplay. SoMoGa, I want more of what your dishing out! 

If you like classic Final Fantasy you will enjoy this game. I'm hooked and the interface is really easy to use though you might get a little tired poking your finger at the screen so switch 'em up a bit. Let's see more of this for the iphone!

I love this game, I only wish that the menu were better than just a plain iPhone page. Maybe adding some colors might help. Also the game has a few glitches.

Certainly an excellent start for RPGs on the App Store. While the game is superb in story and gameplay, a few things needed are descriptions of the weapons, clothing, items, etc., how they affect your stats, description of the monsters/baddies, possibly a map, and a start screen to begin new or load a saved game, etc.

Title says it all. Now gimme Final Fantasy 6.

The only true RPG for the iPhone at the time of this writing.

.. some polishing up of the interface would be nice, and more detail with inventory. Love the old school RPG style games - always my favorite. The ability to play for small amounts of time easily is fantastic and I hoping for more of this style. Oh how I wish I could move my little guys around using the tilt functionality; that would be awesome.

the creators were right on when they designed this game, it has game play and graphics that could rival playing it on the gameboy color. also i was very excited about the price, its a steal when compared to the kind of crappy games you could buy at 9.99

I never thought I would play a game like this anymore. But Vay is a lot of fun. Its not considerable hard, no challenge for real experts. But for casual gaming its great.

This app is great. The controls are suprisingly easy to use, and so far the story is awesome. I was wondering if RPG's were going to come to the iPhone or not. This has answered that question. It makes me want to start designing one of my own. Great Job!

Looks like i'm not getting any sleep tonight...Finally, the first "real" rpg for the iphone....Great game and provides hours of fun....take it from a hard-core gamer...you'll love this one!

So there's a certain amount of novelty with this Final Fantasy clone being on your iPhone/Touch. It's cool that someone brought his kind of game to the device, I rather like the genre and am a big Final Fantasy fan, as well as a fan of some of the other games of the genre. And hey, the app works, it has a few crashes every once ina while, and I don't really like the touch interface (it's kind of a pain really), but as an app it works.
