I did end up looking at the Vagrant Story walkthrough on Gamefaqs, but it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know (like, oh, DON'T LET THE END BOSS DO HIS ONE-HIT KILL). So I don't really feel very guilty about it. I was busy today at my brother-in-law's graduation and dinner and then spent a bit of the night playing Asheron's Call, but I'm sure I'll beat VS tomorrow sometime.
