Vanguard Bandits (known as Epica Stella in Japan) is a Strategy RPG by Human Entertainment, released for the PlayStation in 2000.It takes place on the wartorn Continent of Eptina, a medieval fantasy world in which knights and soldiers pilot mecha called ATACs. In the midst of the conflict archaeologists in the Pharastia Kingdom discovered giant armored mecha that they called All Terrain Armored Combatants, that could be controlled by the thoughts of the pilot seated inside the unit's head. The Kingdom used the power of these ATACs to assume control of the entire continent, and then decided to use them to keep the peace in their new territories. Unfortunately as the ATAC technology began to spread, the kingdom lost hold of their place and went from managing the continent to trying to survive. The rebels turned into a superpower of their own and now the Junaris Empire is poised to take over the continent themselves. During the chaos a young warrior named Bastion begins to fight against the Empire and his journey will shape the face of Eptina.Vanguard Bandits has a lot in common with old anime shows; the localization by Working Designs has a lot of Narm Charm with a lot of silly lighthearted moments but still holds the potential for some darker events. It possesses a large cast of characters that cover a range of motivations and attitudes, though most fall pretty easily into identifiable roles. With three separate story paths it holds a surprising amount of replay value.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Causing this is the special power of Faulkner's Zulwarn ATAC. It turns people into mindless slaves to be controlled like puppets, and a thorough ass-kicking is the only way to dispel the brainwashing.

Relationship Values: The game keeps track of the morale of your characters and this often influences which ending you'll get. Though the Empire path really only weighs the values of the two love interests, the Kingdom path weighs the total morale of your group as a whole.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_23cb7c45
comment
So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: There are several party members who leave the party* Ione and Galvas in the Kingdom branch, Cecilia in the Empire-Sadira branch, and Devlin, Zeira, and Galvas in the Ruin branch, and will take whatever equipment they have and whatever ATAC they're piloting with them. There's no way to remove equipment or ATACs from a character, so all you can do is make sure that they don't have anything that you're going to miss. Any EXP they gained will be wasted as well, and since you cannot grind and there is only a limited number of enemies in the game, this has the potential to mess you up if you let a Guest-Star Party Member soak up too many kills.

Awesome, but Impractical: The Altagrave's Blizzard Break attack costs a paltry 10 FP and has a 2.05 damage modifier and 25% accuracy modifier. But it's crippled by an extremely high AP cost of 80, meaning if the Altagrave moves it probably can't use the attack.

 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Turbulence. Enemies are hardwired to Defend against it and two casts of it on an enemy who Defends will make them skip their next turn. A common defensive strategy is to move every unit to a bridge, hallway, or some other narrow place where most enemies cannot reach to protect them, while having the frontline units deal with them.

Bittersweet Ending: The Empire-Sadira ending. Although you've triumphed over Faulkner and ended the war, and the final cutscene ends on a comedic note, Cecilia betrayed the team and died in the final battle, and it's unclear if Devlin, Barlow, Alden, and Melior survived your earlier, completely pointless battle with them.

Xanatos Speed Chess: After every battle Faulkner changes his plan to compensate for whatever advantage the heroes have earned. Enemies recover legendary ATAC? Force them to delay offensive use by dealing with internal matters. Enemies ally with another country? Convince your battle-hungry ally to fight them, then wipe them all out once they've weaken each other enough. And recover all their Excavated ATACs in the process.

Player Mooks: The Barazaph, Haurol, and two Ratatosks in the Kingdom branch. All of these ATACs have low stats and nothing that makes them stand out at all, but you're stuck with them for a good while. In the Empire branch, you get a Barbatos, an Einlager, and two Korbelans. They're slightly better than their Kingdom counterparts, but still aren't really all that great, and you have to wait even longer before you can start replacing any of them with better ATACs.

Ace Custom: Claire and Zakov both pilot Einlagers with a different coat of paint than the standard mass-produced model. Cecilia has a uniquely-colored Barbatos too. An unnamed bandit leader who appears in both branches pilots an Andoras with a spiffy custom paint job as well. None of these are actually any different gameplay-wise from the standard models though.

Super Prototype: The excavated ATACs are examples. All normal ATACs are reverse-engineered off the originals, which can't be replicated due to their unique weaponry and power stone. Subverted in the Ruin Path. The Empire gets a hold of Ultragunner and its power stone, but can't make it work at all. Meanwhile, the brand new unique ATAC Puck builds for Bastion, the TIC-TAC, is as powerful as any of the "legendary" excavated ATACs and boasts the single strongest attack the player can use in the game.

The Power of Love
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_6a696742
comment
The Power of Love: Causes Cecilia to betray Faulkner during her ending of the Empire Branch. As Faulkner tries to use Zulwarn to mind control her against Bastion, the Ultragunner counters and blasts away half of the Zulwarn's meaty 662 HP and severely debuffs its nearly-maxed stats. Don't mess with love when one of the participants has something called the Ultragunner.

Guide Dang It!
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Several. The game doesn't tell you that Morale determines your ending on the Kingdom Path, or that unlockng the Empire Branch requires Bastion to be Level 8 or higher after the third battle (which requires focused grinding and luck). Recruiting Nana's not obvious, either (you need to lose one battle to trigger it). At least the manual helped with finding the Empire Branch.

Just Like Us: Bastion can learn first-hand that the people of the Junaris Empire aren't as evil as he's been led to believe. Faulkner learned this lesson while working for the Empire to destroy the Kingdom. He concludes that both the Kingdom and the Empire are as bad as one another; hence his goal to eventually destroy both and rule over what is left.

Sudden Downer Ending
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_8124e7a6
comment
Sudden Downer Ending: The Ruin branch, despite its rather ominous name, is packed with off-the-wall humor, features a completely absurd final battle, and even has some things going better than in the other branches, such as Thomson surviving when he dies on both of the other branches, and Faulkner not sacrificing hundreds of innocent people to activate the Zulwarn. It almost could have been the Golden Path if not for what happens at the VERY end. Puck has been posessed by the evil spirits inhabiting the Zulwarn, as a result of using his own blood to activate it. Most of the other characters QUICKLY bail out when they realize what's happened to him, but Bastion seems to have begun to fall under the sway of the Zulwarn as well as the result of a Compelling Voice that Puck has gained. The scene fades out and the credits roll before we can see what happens...

 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_8cb1a369

Took a Level in Jerkass: Because of the branching paths, certain characters can react vastly different then how they were before. Sadira on the Ruin Branch is the biggest example, playing up the Spoiled Princess thing to ridiculous heights. At least it is on purpose, as the rest of the party hates her for it and how her Jerkass ways keep landing them in trouble.

Mooks: The Barazaph seems to be the most basic type of ATAC, as they are utilized by several different countries as well as common bandits. Even so, Kamorge is skilled enough to kick some major butt while piloting one. But much more prominent is the Barbatos, which is essentially the Zaku of Vanguard Bandits, being favored ATAC of the Empire's soldiers, and they are commonly used by bandits as well. You'll fight dozens of them all throughout the game no matter which branch you play. The Empire also has plenty of Einlagers to send against you as well. Other countries have their own mass-produced ATACs used by common soldiers as well. The Kingdom and Avalon both use Glaives and Haizurons, Dionne-Lehve has the Dantarius (which is used by the Empire as well) and the Flaros, Hibernia has the Ratatosk and the Eigol, Nordilian has the Rahabor, and Muspel has the Yurangol. Also, the bandits roaming the land are fond of the Andoras (which is also used in small numbers by Dionne-Lehve and Muspel).

Spoiler Opening: With three Openings it was bound to happen. The first is relatively free, other than perhaps the obvious conclusions that the main character and main villain get their own unique ATACs. The second opening however, which doubles as a gameplay demo, shows multiple scenes late in the game and spoils a fair bit. The third Opening, which can only be accessed after already beating the game, is a Gag Opening that can spoil you on the Ruin Branch of the game.

What the Hell, Hero?: In the Empire path, if you pick Cecilia over Sadira, the rest of your companions will call you out for hurting the Princess' feelings.

The Chessmaster: Lord Alden and Milea as literal examples of a chess-playing master and Faulkner as the scheming manipulator example.

comment
Lethal Joke Weapon: The TIC-TAC is mocked by everyone during the Ruin Branch, but is just as powerful as any other Escavated ATAC. The #69, which is a silly looking pink walking head with arms. Its threat is such that it makes the sharkings look tame. In spite of this, Faulkner and a few others are not happy about having to pilot them.

Good Republic, Evil Empire
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_e0f75086
comment
Good Republic, Evil Empire: Subverted; neither nation is "all righteous" as their claim to be and it was because of the corruption within the kingdom that the Empire exists in the first place. Bastion initially believed that the Pharasia Kingdom is good and the Junaris Empire is evil, which led him to clash with Princess Sadira during their first meeting, but he eventually realizes that both nations have their faults, and that the real victims are the civilians caught in the middle of their war. More evident during the Empire's route storyline.

The Power of Blood: Type AB, and a lot of it, fuels the Zulwarn. In the Ruin Path Puck figures out a way to reduce the blood needed to fuel it. He only uses a few drops of his own blood to reactivate Zulwarn, though it still corrupts him.

Dub Name Change
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927
comment
Dub Name Change: Ultragunner was originally named Ursragna in the Japanese version, which is a Japanese transliteration originally referring to the ancient Avestan deity/concept of victory. This may be a case of "Blind Idiot" Translation. Also Bastion was Randy in the Japanese version, no idea why they changed it though.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Vanguard Bandits (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: Getting the Good Ending in the Kingdom branch requires keeping your party's morale high throughout the game. This is harder than it sounds, as being defeated in battle will lower a character's morale, and some characters, most infamously Devlin, have other conditions that affect their morale.

Great Offscreen War: The first war is nothing but a blurb in the manual. The second war has been going on for fifteen years before the game starts and various things reference it. The only shot of it the players get is a flashback. Everything else is word-of-mouth.
