Vay (ヴァイ), sometimes subtitled Ryuusei no Yoroi (流星の鎧), is a 1993 Sega Mega-CD RPG.

This is a very straightforward RPG as far as RPGs go, but it has an interesting premise about a high fantasy civilization interacting with a futuristic spaceship. It also has an elaborate English localization by Working Designs.
