is a well-rounded combatant but has a rude and questionable demeanor. Kinsey or Mintz is the Captain of the Pirates of Exeter Village. She allows the party use of her ship at a key point in the story. Otto is an elderly but wise wizard. He offers advice to Sandor frequently throughout the game. Antagonists Jeal or Zeal is the ruler of the Danek Empire and Vay's secondary antagonist. He lusts after the power that the Vay Armor is rumored to bestow upon its pilot. Sadoul is Jeal's/Zeal's adviser and Vay's main antagonist. He seems to have Jeal's/Zeal's best interests in mind, but seems to have an unhealthy interest in the Vay Armor as well. iPhone Edition On July 11, 2008 a version of Vay was released by SoMoGa, Inc. for the iPhone and iPod Touch platforms. This version includes a new voice cast and content which was not released in the original Sega CD version as "extra" content once the player finishes the game. Some names in the iPhone and iPod touch vary between the other one. The software was updated on September 26, 2012. Reception Game Informer rated the game 8.25 out of 10. GamePro commented that the story, stylistics, and general progression of Vay are generic and forgettable, but that the game is overall worthwhile for the sole reason of its intelligent dialogue. They elaborated that "you actually look forward to talking to people - not simply to see what they have to say, but how they say it. ... It's not really literature (you wouldn't buy it if it were a book, and you can't really quote it without sounding silly), but it's mature and serious enough to acquire its own urgency, and funny in a way that even adults will appreciate." Electronic Gaming Monthly also criticized the story as generic and unoriginal, but concluded that the large game world, numerous playable characters, and "excellent" cinemas would ensure that the game appeals to RPG fans. They gave it a 5.4 out of 10. VideoGames selected it as the runner-up for 1994's Best Role-Playing Game (below Final Fantasy III) and Best Sega CD Game.
