it was a fucking test map

Oath fans aren't actual Ys fans.

Woooow, just like every Ys game since Seven, which had PS1 graphics. They've reached PS2 era graphics now at least.

>liking anything new falcon makes
All they make is trash these days.

Who cares about that, the combats still probably flash guard spam party cancer. I could tolerate shitty graphics and designs if the actual gameplay was good but they keep fucking it up.

Yskek cope lmoa

>nu-falcom tranny thinks I give even the slightest fuck out kiseki
Oh I am laffin'
Not an argument.
Oath fans are actual fans. Casual trannies like yourself who couldn't handle the previous games are the main reason why the series has degraded so heavily over time.

It's already confirmed for being party garbage. Flash guard spam is to be expected too but no comfirmation yet.

>Watch video
>It runs at negative FPS
What did falcom mean by this?

>tfw have played all Ys games except Celceta and love them all, but think Ys VIII is the best one of them all

I am incredibly excited for Ys IX, you sort of have to view the series in different eons like classic, 2000s, and party Ys.

Ys may have recycled assets from CS3, but at the least they have enjoyable gameplay and a plot that is finished in the same game it's started.
Meanwhile the Trails series is nothing but cash grab after cash grab of generic shounen games that seem original because by the time anyone cared to localize them the tropes that permeate them will belong to the last decade.
Filled with padding, each single story has to be split in multiple entries because whoever who's in charge of adapting shounen jump latest hot take into a mediocre rpg with mechanics stolen straight out of Persona and Fire Emblem believes that you can't do a good plot without having to traverse each modern fantasy town over and over again with a goody two shoes master of all trades protagonist, his harem of dumb bimbos who apport nothing and his background male companions.
A sad corpse of a series with even a more tragic fanbase, who cling to it either because they think niche is cool and because they spent years learning japanese just to play a literal fan fiction of a retard who played Suikoden and Xenogears and thought that a long lasting series in the same universe would be good, with political themes as understood by a 11 year old and mechas. Literally everything that Kekseki ever did has been done by literally any other jrpg series, but better and ten years before. It's no wonder why this shitshow ranks lower than the most cancerous weeb games in japan, even when the series has become a shittier parody of itself.

How fucking stupid do the devs have to be to sabotage their own games by removing almost all elements of spacing and dodging and reducing it to a glorified rhythm game, its like they saw the worst aspects of iframe abuse VI engine games like via earth magic and decided to make it even worse and base an entire combat system around it. Simply yikes

>Nobody mentions Kiseki

Ebin shitposting dude. Are you the tranny poster as well?

I'll wait and see until it actually releases. For all we know, it was just a test

Same, my top 3 Ys games are VIII, Oath, and II in that order. I definitely recommend Celceta too, it starts off slow but the second half of the game is 13 hours of some of the coolest level design and most rewarding exploration in the series.

I'm not super impressed by the initial videos we've seen but I'm excited to see what they end up being able to pull off.

I'm pretty sure it was inspired by Arcturus.

It's a gook RPG made by the Ragnarok Online devs and translated and published in japan by Falcom.
Apparently it got translated recently.

Whatever, I'm an OG Ys fan who doesn't go past Ys Origin and has Ys1 and Ys2 as his favorite.

*sips* yup, Adol exploding people by running into them was truly the best, they don't make them that way anymore

Sky and Crossbell games are good go heck yourself you motherhecker.

Why is Falcom so incompetent with graphics anyway? Even indie games have higher poly and more detailed 3D models.

YS fans are even more embarassing than KYSeki cucks, absolutely disgusting.

Monstrum Nox needs some work but it's going to be pretty alright. If it's better or the same as VIII then that's fine.

Whether you like the party-action from the new Ys games or not, this track lives and breathes adventure

Ys VIII's soundtrack suffers from a lack of volume, too few unique songs for how many areas there are in the game. IT's also clear that their recording budget was going to Cold Steel 3 at the time since there are very few tracks recorded with a live band. That said the standout tracks are phenomenal. This is my favorite in VIII, it feels very Mega Man X5/6

youtube.com/watch?v=t0ZevcTmLuc

I agree
Also Ys 8 has
>literal Old Ys OP style music like youtube.com/watch?v=SiB6tFInblc
>great music like
youtube.com/watch?v=xogTY-BvV6s
People can complain about "NuYs" all they want but the music sure feels like good old Ys and so does the sense of adventure
After so many years of quality games I don't know why people suddenly start doubting Falcom out of nowhere
Hell, Ys 8 was one of the best selling Ys games if not the best, I doubt they will be retarded enough to make 9 so different it's shit instead of Ys 8 but more polished

Cringe. Nobody gives a fuck about sales. High sales of a niche game are just another tell tale sign that they've dumbed it down to appeal to braindead retards like yourself.
Why don't you go tell old Fire Emblem fans how much their old favourite series new games are selling and see if they think that indicates quality you fucking pleb.

I appreciate the feeling of having nails hammered through my dick on a Nightmare playthrough of Oath or Origin as much as the next guy, but I feel like Celceta and VIII have done the best job yet of feeling like you're on a big adventure in a cool place. Ys has always been about more than just the combat for me, so even though it's not quite as tight in the most recent games, I still love them for being cool adventures.

>I feel the placement of this song is pure genius. The vibe it gives off is one that kinda makes you question why you're going through this dungeon after clearing the story. There's little to no story left at this point. Dana has said her farewell and your business on the island is complete. But you're likely going through the dungeon because you enjoyed the game and this is all that is left for you. The song makes you feel calm yet sad while you push through the last dungeon in the game. Even the name (Vanishing Trail) is just right.

Which version of brandish do you guys recommend?

The whole Valley of Kings sequence was very good. It's just after Oceanus which was the boss the game built towards from the beginning, and there's still this one unexplored part of the map.

And if you pay attention in the Eternia chapters, the place's true purpose is hinted at. But not much.

Shouldn't Adol breeze through the game then? He's stronger than all of Dragon Ball by this point

Sorry Ysincel but Xanadu is here to stay !

not played the cold steel games yet but as far as i'm concerned Falcom alongside Atlus (and maybe Monolith Soft) are the only jrpg developers who are making genuinely good games still

based and adventurepilled

PSP. Play with PC-98 music.
youtube.com/watch?v=sNMNcOXl-wI

A lot of the doubting really comes from the fact Sen and Celceta were so close to each other, and outside of Ys 8 we haven't really seen a true A++ tier title come out of falcom since Sen and Celceta. But to be honest a lot of that has to do with the initial screw up of Sen 1 and them kind of writing themselves into a corner with the series, no matter what they did it could only be mediocre at best. But since they did Sen has been most of the titles that Falcom has put out in the last while, the only breaks have been Ys 8 and whatever expansion/revision they do for tokyo xanadu.

I definitely feel like Falcom is back on the upswing now that they can free themselves from Sen and with how good ys 8 was. I look forward to see what 9 brings.

9 Adol looks way better than his borderline school uniform from Celceta and 8 so it's likely they will unJUST Dogi

Not quite. Boss design, even disregarding flash guard/dodge and party members/healing weren't necessarily the best.
Think of the boss in the Tower of Baja, which is reminiscent of Origin and Oath, and how little the other bosses were like it.
And the story overstayed its welcome a bit, but your mileage may vary on that one.

I missed this kind of sync, it was only present in 1&2 and Origin

That is just poor boss design, if anything the boss you mentioned proved that good bosses like the ones in older titles are still possible in the new system but they don't make more of them for whatever reason
I agree on the story part though, it's not exactly bad but it certianly feels too long for it's own good, and the fact that they start throwing random ideas around like the ghost ship part doesn't help

Exactly. So if we had more of those, you could maybe rate VIII on the same level as Origin and Oath, but not quite before that, even if you remove or disregard flash guard/dodge and the party system.

nah fuck adventure, you get generic anime bullshit now

Have fun waiting another 20 years for the next one.

Star Ocean actually isn't quite dead yet. The phone game actually gives me hope that they'll make another game soon.

Nobody who actually plays all the Ys games could rate 8. Garbage setting and flash guard cancer is at its worst. The most casualised Ys to date.

Why the fuck is it so popular in anime games nowadays to have the same generic cutesy youthful art style... BUT EVERYONE HAS NEON BLUE LIGHTS SLAPPED EVERYWHERE

Yeah dunno what the user is smoking, those games are from the same dev and now forever lost to the mobile shit.

What are you talking about, Xanadu: Lacrimosa of Dana came out 2016

/fg/ is the other way, Kisekifag.

I meant it more like "if they remove those things the new system would be better than Oath's system"
I still think Origin is the best game in the series and Oath is right behind it, but 8 is close to them too even if the gameplay is directly worse just because it did so many things right

>Ys 1 has you going through already-built villages and a tower already explored in Origin
>Ys 8 has you adventuring on an entirely unexplored tropical island area
Yeah okay

That's just cheating, user. I & II are in a league of their own.

Dana could never even dream of accomplishing the brilliant moment where everything youve learned about the game changes when you enter Darm tower, let alone all the build up up to that point

>not him but Origin has bossfights and thats it
Oath is the same though. Oath probably has the worst story and settings in the entire franchise. At least Origin was a lore and fanservice fest.

Oath is a happy medium between napishtim and Origin which is why it is the best

Cant argue with Origin having good lore, my favorite part was when Yunica was the only one who was so stupid the bbeg cant harm her. Or about how Hugo wanted to be evil but then decided he didnt like it but then wanted to be evil again 500 years later

I also like instead of just telling the story about how the tower first rose that the other games reference they instead decided to make a bunch of convoluted bullshit about how its rising agian when they couldve just told the actual origin story, instead of this 2nd episode featuring characters related to the main characters of the 1st.

and thats the problem w/ origin is that none of it fucking matters or has a reason for existing because everyone in it is just a descendant of an actual character. The story of Ys is completely unaffected regardless of if origin was ever made or not, it adds nothing

I ultimately found them easier than 1's due to having magic as a tool. But it's been some time since I even played the first two games so I am not sure how I'd rate them.

You are retarded. I bet you are a fucking discuck tranny too from fg or reddit too.

definitely underrated bosses, they really explore everything they can with such a simple combat system

okay fag, be retarded somewhere else
There is a reason always leaves the sluts behind and boards a ship at the end of the games
Hint: it's to EXPLORE new lands and have adventures
Have you even played any game past 1?
Because this is brought up a billion times by everyone, how Adol loves exploring the world he leaves in a finding places nobody has seen before
Adol is the literal first "official" adventurer in his world and the word Adventurer was created after him
When Adol dies, his ADVENTURES start an age of EXPLORATION
Notice the conincidende?
Not a war aganiost demons, sorcerers, whatever the fuck Adol killed, because that isn't what peopel liked in the journals

This

Exploration is the essence of exploration. I dont feel like im going on an adventure in skyrim looking at every single unrelated corner of the map.
Adventure is the sense of a journey. The feeling of going on a quest, the characters you meet, the artifacts you find, the problems you solve. All these combine encompass the singular feeling of adventure.

You just completely misunderstand the series and want Ys 9: Skyrim but only on beach maps with shipwrecks

Based and redpilled

>explore
>adventure
Kinda wish they didn't add Thanatos in VIII and call him an explorer.
I think the party even talks about how the two are supposed to be different, but it cheapens the whole "Adol is responsible for an age of exploration" kind of thing. Even if he was the most influential or whatever.

Only casuals disagree with this but it's 100% true.

you can actually damage him in quick succession if you time it right and run parallel with him as he crosses the field. This means that less of the ground will disappear since the crumbling ground will overlap

>My first question was kindly answered by Hashimoto: where did the concept for Ys come from?
>Hashimoto: Recent RPGs have been very difficult, and it takes a lot of willpower to finish them. So eventually we came to have our doubts: was this really “fun”?

What does knowing he is cain fact add to the story other than "Yea see, origins is related".

That he's related to hugo? Hugo only exists in origins and is completely irrelevant too. Origins Lore is a vacuum and they only made it vaguely related to the other games by reusing last names.

How to spot a fake Ysfag. Adol was a furry since the start.

There isn't a single game in the series that is hard aside from Oath. Origins is mildly challenging if you don't pick Hugo first.

And this is why oathtards should hang themselves

Doesn't matter what he said you deluded faggot, the games people liked most are the hard Ys games and it's what the series is known for.

>something that would be accessible
Well looks like they found success with Dana.
Still doesn't make the game better.

Ys has simple RPG mechanics, that doesn't mean the games shouldn't be challenging.

>all games have easy and normal(normal is called "the way meant to be played") in multiple
>both are insultingly easy
Ys is only hard at hard difficulties, and even then Hard is not even that hard, it's just challenging enough to be fun to beat

I do not disagree. For me it's also the challenge that is most appealing to me about the series. And I don't know if the guy who said this was even involved in the series at the point where the games started to get much harder.
It's just funny, is all.

>>Characters are teleporting all over the place, sprouting wings, running up buildings like some cringy naruto character
>>Characters are all dressed up like edge lords
this is normal for ys

I feel Ys games are designed with Nightmare in mind.

Ys has weird difficulty (at least earlier ones not played memories or viii yet) because one item upgrade or one level can make a boss go from very difficult to very easy.

Cain Fack didn't exist until Origin. Even Chronicles still follows the original lore. Darm in II is the personification of the Black Pearl itself, not some power-hungry cuck.

Careful, your opinion isn't edgy enough and contrarian enough to be accepted here.
I, too, have played all Ys games except Celceta and feel the same way. I enjoy the very original Ys a lot too, despite bump-combat. The newest Ys was a great step up for the developer and really showed a lot of overall polish and talent they have lacked for a long time. I'm not a huge fan of flashguardspam like everyone else, but I don't fret too hard. I'm glad to see the series stay alive and until they release a game I actually dislike, why should I overly complain?

Makes you a steambabby.

This is the first Ys game that was party based and Adol always had an entourage at his side and the villains thought the rumors about Adol were overstated.

Big issue all around with Falcom recently is that they only have two core composers when they usually have 3 or 4 and the contractor they regularly use fucking blows. Definitely seems like they trimmed the music department to save some cash. Cold Steel 1-2 are the last games that really went all out OST wise.

Ys 8 had a great soundtrack though?

Isn't the gameplay identical to the "Complete" version from 2001 or something, though?

2 is my favorite, but Chronicles made more bad changes than good (some of the characters look horrible) and the gameplay is older than Origin.

>it's impossible to like more than 1 thing
Ok dude

I didn't say it had to be universally terrible. Falcom OSTs are still pretty good and the two remaining composers (Sonoda, Unisuga) are great. You can definitely tell which tracks were done by the contractor (Singa) and the big aranged guitar and orchestra tracks (Jindo) arent as good as they used to be.. My claim also encompasses Sen 3 and 4 and Tokyo Xanadu. Falcom also doesn't make arrange albums nearly as often, although we're getting an Ys VIII album later this year which I'm looking forward to.

No it's not. You're just using Yunica.

I kinda get where you're coming from. Hopefully JDK gets more varied (But good) composers again

Oath is when the games got in a whole other level of good. I went back and played the older games after playing Oath. They're good games, but they don't compare to the masterpiece that is Oath. Still recommended though.
The new games however? They're low quality garbage and a complete departure to what makes a good Ys game.

>no adol in cover or promo art

>time have the characters do different things concurrently but their actions all affect one another.

Yea. Instead of Yunica just being stupid.

Ys was easy long before they were ever hard

oath is the only game that matters ysbaby

When did that actually change? There's this quote , but then Ys V was lambasted for being too easy. So much that they felt the need to release a harder "Expert" version.

>get a flash guard
>mash attack while spamming flash guard since you're invincible and can still get more flash guards without having to time them
>repeat for 5 minutes shove the bosses are HP sponges

How can anyone think this garbage gameplay is good?

Based

Seems like the usual Ys garbage except with some good art now at least.

>get a flash move then immediately flash guard
>spam both ad infinitum
>still takes 10 minutes to kill the bosses because they turn into damage sponges at endgame
fixed

Reminds me of that one user who BTFO people who were saying Ys 8 was hard by going into a fight he had only done once previously and fucking the boss up effortlessly while being underleveled
youtube.com/watch?v=j85MVULobXk

It never changed. They just added Nightmare modes for a challenge and the systems in the ark engine just inherently made them harder than the others (until you figure out how op earth magic).

>jumps into attacks rather than dodges them just to get more flash guard/evades
god nu-ys is so bad

This is gonna be the new worst game in the series guaranteed. Literally everyone agrees that it and the reat of the nuYs games are Sonic 06 tier shit. This is gonna be Ys's TORtanic.

Danacels literally cannot debate this. Their game is factually shit.

Based and redpilled. Danashit is the most hated YS game for a reason.

Cope harder danacel

I wan 2 fuk dana

Most 8 bosses are 1-3 minutes on inferno, if you take 10 minutes to kill any boss you are just bad mate.

Fuckin tell us about it. Dana is unironically one of the worst games ive ever played. Glad its universally hated here.

Shit waifu shit game. Cope.

Go back to your dakis nigger. You're the reason why Ys is dead

PC and Switch ports will come a year after PS4.

>RIP actual Ys fans, this is your future now.
I lost interest when I played 7.

I don't like party members.
I don't like the long boring generic story.
YS was quick fast paced fun action with short charming generic story.

it's just a few shitposters samefagging and looking for (you)s, just ignore them

This shit looks laughable. Falcom cucks truly are subhumans who like Vita assets rehashed to infinity.

Is Ys VIII worth playing for a newcomer to the series?

Attached: YSVIII.jpg (616x353, 56K)

Only Oceanus and the literal final bosses should take more than 5 minutes and definitely under 10.

mostly smugposting and contrarianism. i wish i was as good at parrying and dodging as they claim they are.

no its for zoomer cucks play oath instead

What are you talking about? Did you even read my post? I'm literally praising the part you don't have a party.

Not really. Play VI and Oath if you want to experience what made Ys good.

absolutely. it's a terrific jrpg on its own right

Without using buzzwords, can anyone explain why the party system is bad? It's not really what I wanted, but I don't think it's terrible.

Y I K E S

If you can get it for cheap or pirate it, sure. The story is shit though and so are most of the characters so don't expect much from that.

I've been living my life incorrectly.
That stun is so long, though. What gives?

the empty areas really bothered me. other than that, i can live with the edge.

Are you fucking kidding? That's MaZe's video, he was shitposting when he made that video and I'm pretty sure Ys VIII is one of his favourite Ys games now.
One good player doesn't mean everybody else is going to find those bosses easy.

Oath is the best game in the series, play that instead.

literally you get to (have to) play other characters than just adol

also, if you die it's not instant game over, you can use revive items on the remaining two

Not inherent to a party system per so (though all the party games have it), but the whole weapon weaknesses thing enemies have lacks any depth and ultimately just forces you to switch to characters you don't want to play as.
It also gives you a larger HP pool which makes battles more forgiving.

I like Ys 8 but there's not much arguing against this. Some bosses make it super simple to abuse the iframes.

it is and getting that good with the iframes is also satisfying

Based taste

MaZe has decent taste for a shitposter desu

Let's put it this way: A newcomer would think that VIII is a fantastic modern ARPG, but that's probably because they haven't played Oath or Origin beforehand.

This shit is even more braindead than KH.

I'm a complete shitter than sucks at getting flash guards and I managed to cheese that boss too, its hitboxes were just retarded and it was very easy to chain flash moves

Based on your post, I'm guessing you haven't played it. At a glance, it looks fun, but then you find out that you do this for every single boss (and enemy). Then you get used to how easy it is to figure out the telegraphing and timing and it becomes dull and repetitive.

I think it's fun because I am shit at this and therefore the battles are still a challenge even with flash guard.
Anyway, I think this is most egregious against single enemies. Bosses that have adds just rape me on Inferno.

No it gets old quick as you realized the fastest way to kill anything is to purposely jump into attacks while doing a flash dodge/guard and the timings on them are actually pretty fucking generous. Literally the only good thing about the game is how cute Dana is, if you wanna be a complete waifu shitter go ahead though

RIP Ys

Danashit BTFO

We all abandoned the series after 7. 8 and Celceta are some of the worst games we've ever played. 9 will be even worse.

cope

It's the Sonic 06 of the series, see .

Everything about 8 is dogshit. It's the worst game in the series. So glad everyone ITT agrees.

>Ys VIII is one of his favourite Ys games now.
He was infected with shit taste. He's cancelled as fuck.

Move 7 8 and 9 to below dogshit tier. They are the worst games in the series.

Danacels literally cannot argue against this.

MaZe is cancelled

Depends on how good is your ability to notice when a boss is attacking, I suppose.

When did he change it? Wasn't Ys 8 in the same tier as Celceta a while back? Was he just meming?

>I & II being anywhere under great
It's shit just for that.

Yeah because he didn't play it yet back then

that's if you're a god at video games, which is fair enough. if hitting the timing every time is routine and dull, what can you do.

but the average Yea Forums poster isn't that good.

Friendly reminder that the reason MaZe came around on Ys 8 is because he's a hardcore Dana waifufag and got pussy whipped hard by her.

But I'm shit at video games

Explain

I replayed Oath on Ineferno and I gotta say, the first few hours fucking blow. I hate pretty much every early boss aside from Chester and the harpies. But once you get earth magic, the fights get a lot more fun.

he triggers hollow knight fanboys

dunno about metroidvania threads but i know he goes into platformer threads and beats hard games just so he can shitpost about how casual everybody else is since they can't do it. the guys an autistic shitposter but he's fucking good at games and uses that to fuel his shitposting from what i've seen

Why do touhoufags ruin EVERYTHING?

A week or so after hollow knight released he started making at least 3- 4 threads per day saying "BUY HOLLOW KNIGHT ITS THE GAME OF THE CENTURY" and sounding as obnoxious and as much as a shill as possible to make people hate Hollow Knight
He kept this out for months at the very least until the hivemind of retards known as Yea Forums actually hated Hollow Knight until it got a switch port
He always appears in metroidvania threads to post his tierlist of games and on the top tier he has La Mulana(one of my favorite games too, the guy might be mental but he has good taste) and a game called Marrow that nobody except him has played and it's very likely he is the dev
Somewhere along the line he played Hollow Knight and finally stopped shitposting about it
tl;dr he has unironic autism and anyone who does anything but dislike him has brain damage

Literallly why does it exist
You have no impact on how they are gonna act

>When you meme so hard that you get a world record in a fucking SHOOT EM UP of games just to shitpost
How many levels of shitposting is he on? I couldn't even get past the red haired bitch in Touhou 6 on normal mode.

Now that's a most impressive piece of art if I've ever seen one. Then again, I've always like the artwork from the RF artist, and now that I know her name, I can properly give her mention.

Holy fucking shit, based.

>that shitpost amidst the moonrunes
That's what makes it so amazing. We're seeing the aftermath of weaponized autism at work.

They need to make the blocking work like royal guard. You get way too much invincibility in VIII.

She did the character portrait art (and some other art) for the Gagharv PSP remakes. Too bad the PSP Gaharv remakes were butchered version of the Windows versions or something.

And most of all, not reward you for it. Walking into enemy attacks just to block them and getting some benefit out of it is kind of stupid.

Playing through 8 now, do adol and dana get alone time or is it always group sessions with the rest

Adol never fertilize her aching dino womb if that's what you're hoping for.

Aside from Ys8, what was the last good Falcon game?

Oath in Felghana.

Oath in Felghana is the only good game they have ever made

Ao.

I dont get it. even if adol is adventuresexual he could at least be nice and give them a pity fuck since he'll never see any of the heroines ever again

they get some alone time :3

Were you here when Dana's game came out. Fucking so many threads and I had to avoid Yea Forums altogether for two weeks while I played it.

>V
Who? No such game exists. Falcom skipped V for some strange reason.

It's a mana clone and mana is shit.

It's not bad, per se, but as the clone of a Soul Blazer game with not as bombastic music, the most memorable thing that it's got going for it is a cool story. Oh, and this track
youtube.com/watch?v=AASleixtEIA

not released in the west

We're all waiting for that inevitably kino Ys V remake, bro

sorry but only us oathboomers will understand...stay seething danacel

Its not bad but its painfully average

I dunno, looks fun to me. Ys games have always been A-AA affairs

When Dana's game came out, Ys threads were infested with XSeed vs NISA bullshit. Maybe you personally had one good thread about game, but whenever I looked inside, all I was seeing was standard-issue schizophrenic sneedposting, and when it wasn't this, it was Trails vs Ys bullshit, which is kinda same, really.

>Gliding through open areas
>Running up walls
Do the developers want to turn Ys into Zelda Breath of the Wild or something?

youtube.com/watch?v=H-NymFN7nJo
>that solo

I'm thinking by the Gothic architecture that they want to draw in the Soulsborne (and Sekiro, by association) crowd, which is a very large crowd nowadays.

also i wish they released the PCE version of Feena without any voices

Stylistically, I can sort of see that, but gameplaywise it looks nothing like that.

Ahem, attention thread.
I LOVE Falcom and there's nothing you can do to change my mind or stop me.

I mean, Dragon Quest XI did pretty well, so that's alive. SMT's supposedly alive with the one announcement of V on the Switch two years ago, as well, but we'll see.

it depends on why you found it boring. the gameplay is largely the same through out, but personally I really liked dana's and the whole eternia story. It did drag on a bit but it was good.

I don't quite remember why. I defeated the big dinosaur and didn't really feel like playing it. But I never got to a Dana segment and it might pick up the pace a little bit

Dragon Quest is older than even Ys, so that would invalidate his main argument. Still based for driving Yea Forums into a spiral of depression over their lost childhoods, at least for one day.

Where do all of these happen?

I know about feeling up a girl in a dark basement, but thats about it.

1) dragon quest isn't dead
2) dragon quest is older than ys
3) dragon quest isn't good
no reason to mention it

Here's my guess:
>First one is brainlet-tier, so that never happens in the games except for the non-canon Dawn of Ys
>Second one is Ys VIII with "that" Laxia scene
>Third one is the bump games in general
>Fourth one is Ys I with the Darm Tower
>Fifth one is Ys I where you can feel up Feena
>Sixth one is Ys II where you can feel up Tarf
>Seventh one is Ys Seven, with the solo fight against the giant Titano
>Eight one is a gross exaggeration of Adol's tendencies to shipwreck and go on adventures
>Ninth one, and the best one imo, is Ys VI's final boss, the Ark of Napishtim.

Will adol finally fuck in this game?

He'll fuck off to adventure in a better land that's not a barbaric, monster-infested prison of a city at the end, that much is for sure.

Dont you get a sword in that Titano fight?

Or does thats because of the fact they give a weapon with none of their magical powers, in a way to intentionally get you to die?

I think it's supposed to be an exaggeration as well. I mean, a sword is technically a metal stick.

When will we finally get adol in Tokyo? Only falcom can make FFXV right.

But isn't there mention in Trails of how there are lands to the far East of Zemuria and how Calvard is just a nation build by them and the local Zemurians?

Imagine going through danaland as an explorer and you find her sleeping in this position on a tree, what do?

It will never happen. The only game where it was even implied is now non canon.
