Vay (pronounced "Vī") is a role-playing game developed by Hertz and published for the Sega CD by Sims Co. (in Japan) and Working Designs (in the US). It was released in North America in 1994, a few months after the other big Sega CD RPG of the time, Lunar: The Silver Star. An iPhone port was released in 2008.A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... a large suit of battle armor crash-lands on a distant inhabited planet called Vay, its guidance and vital systems severely damaged from fighting in a large-scale war. Although its pilot was killed during the conflict, the machine rampages across the battlefield, destroying everything in its path. It took the world's five most powerful wizards to subdue the machine and seal its power away in five magical orbs, which were promptly scattered and buried across the world.Many years later, the young Lorathian prince, Sandor, is prepared to marry Lady Elin, with representatives from the four major kingdoms in attendance. Unfortunately for Sandor, his nuptials are cut short by a fierce attack by a swarm of robots from the rival Danek Empire, who kidnap Elin in the chaos. These mass-produced robots bear a striking resemblance to the battle suit that razed the planet long ago. Sandor, determined to rescue his betrothed from the Empire, soon learns that the suit is the only weapon powerful enough to strike back against Danek and its ruler, Emperor Jeal, and finds himself in a race against time to find the suit and the magical orbs needed to unlock its true potential.NOTE: Many of the characters' names are translated differently for Working Designs' Sega CD version and SoMoGa's iPhone version. The names listed below are for the Sega CD version. | |

Uriah Gambit | |
| Vay (Video Game) / int_229c2ec8 | comment |
Uriah Gambit: After Sadoul's betrayal, he reveals that he led the Emperor to Marwick Castle with the false promise of finding one of the orbs. The real reason he told Jeal to come to Marwick was so that he could kill him far enough away from Danek's borders to avoid a rebellion while he continued his own Evil Plan. | |

Forced Level-Grinding | |
| Vay (Video Game) / int_26a98394 | comment |
Forced Level-Grinding: The difficulty curve scales so quickly that it's necessary to grind before every dungeon in the game, or you'll get massacred long before you reach the dungeon boss. The game's high encounter rate doesn't speed this along, as the enemies give very little EXP compared to the amount needed to gain a level when you fight them. | |

| Vay (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: One of the NPCs in the town of Vaygess is guarding a chest that supposedly steals money from greedy adventurers. If you ignore his warning and open it anyway, it does just that - all of the GP you've earned up to that point is lost for good. Again, however, this only applies to the Working Designs version. In the Japanese version, it's a joke chest that the game initially claims is empty but (after some waffling) reveals there's just 1GP in the back. | |

Fartillery: A Mundane Utility version, no less. The Wind Fairy Sirufa was cursed with seismic flatulence, which you use for rocket propulsion across the continent at one point. Try it without everybody wearing gas masks, though, and you'll succumb to the poisonous fumes, playing the trope quixotically straight. Note that this only applies to the Working Designs release; the Japanese game simply had Sirufa controlling the wind, without the curse, flatulence, or game-ending element. | |
