Not really, it's pretty much the same as Yunica's. She loses her dearest friends while he loses his goddess waifu.

His hair is blue in the beginning of the game (and maybe when not transformed or something). Red when he has the monstrum powers.

It's what I'm using. I've played through Ys Chronicles, 6, Felghana and just beat Origin today. Some user posted a mega with a link to Ys IV with an emulator to run it in one of the past threads but I was too stupid to get it to work so I begrudgingly skipped IV.

Bro, he hasn't had a shield in over ten years, it's time to let go and embrace the agile DEX Adol

Yeah, they don't even have the chad Path of Legend:

>Nickname: Adol the Adventurer
what the fuck, he has always been Adol the Red
why did they get rid of such a kino name

It's still Adol the Red, he's just under an alias in this game to hide from the Empire, as indicated by the prison city setting.

>worst gameplay of all the party based games
Not really? I mean, it's just Seven's but with Flash Dodge (which is bad and should not have been carried over to 8). The only thing I can rag on it for is the lack of bonus weapons for Adol that give him alternate weapon properties (I can't remember if it had them or not, but I doubt it). Also, even though the weapon upgrade system was kinda broken, it wasn't "bad". Though I think it did let you get too OP.
>worst adol design
I'd say both Celceta and 8 tie for being absolute shit.
>forgettable characters
That's a complaint of 4 in general. It's not like you remember most of 7's that weren't the main important characters. Even most of the party members are forgettable and kinda dumb.
>music complaints
I don't hate it but I do prefer different versions of songs across all of the ones I have played.

s-should I refund it?

Eh, might as well keep it just to say you played it. It's bad but it's still a Ys game which means it's better than most other games.

Well, did you like Seven? Celceta's essentially more of Seven, so there you have it.

Dawn of Ys isn't relevant for the overall story or anything but you should really play it someday. It's the best classic Ys game.

i've just started, I played the first two Ys and now I'm playing Oath in Felghana.

You can look forward to the major step-up that is VIII after playing it, at least.

Seems like most games with exploration are getting grapple hook abilities lately.

>A Great Ordeal
now that's some kino right there, the fact that this didn't get into celceta is just yet another negative against the game.
>I'd say both Celceta and 8 tie for being absolute shit.
you're actually not really wrong though i'd still say 8 wins over celceta adol, the reason i forgot about 8 though is because i had adol in his silver armor for the entire game.
>It's not like you remember most of 7's that weren't the main important characters.
ahh but see that's where you're wrong, i didn't actually think i'd remember much of 7 either honestly but thinking on it now i do remember the vast majority of characters, even some minor as fuck ones in 7.
celceta on the other hand i honestly (as in i'm not just saying this to shit on celceta for no reason) forgot about some of the fucking party members.
i remember very little about celceta despite playing dawn of ys and despite playing mask of the sun even though their stories are all somewhat similar.
>Not really?
pretty sure it gave you a ridiculous amount more healing items and res options than 7, as well as being stupidly easy.
the game had more filler and getting your skills leveled took a ridiculous amount of time to the point that i never even bothered doing most of them.

Gonna agree there, it was kinda filler.

It was used on the "overworld", you dingus. The only problem is they put you underground far too soon.

I actually don't understand why there's so much hate for then character switching. I'm playing through Seven now and I actually like it.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZNuIgx7huw8

Nor is it the best track in the game

Dark Fact's theme was so good that I really didn't mind him taking me over 20 tries and dying every 10-30 seconds. A fucking great boss.

8 can be forgiven for having more healing options because it actually refined the party based gameplay to its absolute limit.
>I honestly don't remember this.
well i for sure do, it was grindy as fuck just level skills in celceta, in 8 there was actually a good balance in how long it takes.

Oldfags olding. I've been playing since I and II Eternal and to me it feels no different than switching weapons in VI or Origin

Because you're a zoomer faggot.
Notice how it's always the people who are only just starting who think that shit is okay?
Compared to Oath which gave us tight gameplay and actual challenge the new games are a fucking sloppy mess.

Because it's not nearly as smooth as weapon switching or magic powers. Also, Adol lost his ability to jump for two whole games, which really limited what bosses could do.

Name a more kino boss than Felghana's Galbaran.

>it was grindy as fuck just level skills in celceta, in 8 there was actually a good balance in how long it takes.
I know that in 8 the SP heavy skills take less to level up. It's been too long since I played Celceta, but I will say that 7 was pretty bad about this. Leveling Pentagram took forever, even with the bonus SP rings.

>which really limited what bosses could do.
funny how 7 has better bosses than 8 even if you are 100% right

Eh, I don't hate it myself but I don't really care much for it. I'd chalk up the excessive hate to tryhard Arkboomers and bumpfags.

then you're braindead because you didn't get an extra health bar when you switched weapons / magic in the older ys games, nor did you have 2 other party members hitting the enemies at all times or healing items to spam

Attached: 125326347458568.jpg (723x720, 56K)

I've also always felt that there was more to the Ys games than their difficulty, and that some of the newer games actually feel a lot more like going on an adventure in a new land instead of just trekking through a series of Themed Video Game Levels

Well I finished Origins (which was my introduction to the series) and am a few hours into Ark and I don't really find it that bad. But what do I know, I'm not a special oldfag expert like you guys, amirite?

keep seething boomer Oathfag, the modern games are good

I think it's because 7 couldn't be cheesed with flash dodge. Also, they cared about both atmosphere and engagement. In 8, I can't think of a single boss you don't fight in some enclosed arena. Granted, most Ys bosses are like this, but at least 7 tried to mix things up a smidgen.

Boss health is scaled to having 3 party members attacking them and I generally don't use healing items in bosses. Wonder what multi-post reply/smug anime girl combo we're gonna get next, bet it's gonna be a good one!

Real talk, what's Adol going to murder next? He's gone beyond gods and is just killing concepts instead now.

Another boat, perhaps.

He's gonna kill FALCOM.

Not really. It comes the closest to feeling damage spongey in Seven and even then there are lots of viable options for piling on damage and building up the stun meter in short order. Adol/Aisha/Dogi is a great boss team because they get a really helpful stun multiplier for example

Why is Yunica so FUCKING shit

Oldfags gonna oldfag with their nostalgia-tinted glasses about how all newer games are shit, what can you do.

video related is my second time going against this boss on the hardest difficulty in ys 8 while being multiple levels below him and not even coming close to dying.
the new games are casual as fuck, ys 8 is saved by a kino setting, kino music (literally a return to form for ys music after the shitshow that was celceta), kino story and kino characters.
the difficulty of the newer games has took a significant drop and the gameplay is streamlined shit

Oath is the only hard Ys game to begin with what's your point

Move Dawn of Ys up to Great tier

Ys 7 is considered good? I thought it was shit.
Also swap Oath and Origin.

>even having healing items in the first place
I haven't played it in a long time, but didn't 1 and 2 literally only have like 1 or 2 healing items you could even use in the first place? You had to actually play clean to beat those bosses on nightmare.

Hold on, wasn't one version of that image made by a notorious shitposter

Ark had healing items as well.

I just started this series with origin yesterday due to the steam sales. how the fuck did they get away with ripping off the metroid item get tune?

Any tier list that lumps 1 and 2 together is just lazy

Nigga, they are two parts of the same fucking game.
It is a mystery.

Yeah, and one part is vastly superior to the other. Really makes you think about the credibility of that image and that poster, doesn't it.

Not really, both Ys 1 and 2 are essentially the same except you get fireballs in the second game. I'd put them in the same tier too.

wait a sec there's no party system bullshit ?

Attached: 1532257002654.png (208x205, 84K)

Ys 2 doesn't contain bullshit bosses like Vagullion and Dark Fact, so it's automatically a tier above Ys 1 in that regard. Plus the music tracks are better and more banging

I've only played Ys games on normal and I found Origin by far the easiest. The only bosses I died more than 3-4 times to was the centipede and Darm.

This is literally LITERALLY just an Yngwie Malmsteen song.
This too, although to a lesser extent.
youtube.com/watch?v=h17_m1hJ2wg

It's odd. Every song in MoC that's a remix of a Dawn of Ys song is inferior to the original, but every new original song is awesome.

I wonder how much less insecure you would be if you started framing these thoughts as 'Wow, it's cool that I'm exceptionally good at something most people find really difficult!' instead of 'LMAO everyone who can't do this thing I can do is a dumbass'. If you stopped devaluing the things you can do well you would feel less like you had something to prove in every one of your interpersonal interactions.

Honestly I think it's pretty cool that you've set Touhou records! I know I couldn't do that

CAVE vs Touhou is even worse than FGC vs Melee autism

Based Touhou chad. Which Touhou would you fuck?

Adol is for Isha

Actually Adol the Red isn't an official nickname or title. It was used by the fan translation of Ys 6 when Geis called him "Adol the Red" instead of "The red haired swordsman" and its a name that has only really ever been used by the fan translation.

>Yngwie Malmsteen
You could've chosen A Great Ordeal to make your point better, you know.

Thanks boss

Honestly agree, Adol is nice and all but I would take an actual character as a MC over Adol

as far as we know, he has no descendants -- which is important because literally all of his adventures up to his disappearance at 63 are documented.

There are a few exceptions to the worse than Dawn rule. I think Ancient Legend and Iris are better in Celceta, personally

youtube.com/watch?v=nVVLXCpPAdM

youtube.com/watch?v=4at0OVG58bs

I'm absolutely mad at what they did to The Dawn of Ys though

In my experience most cavefags have an inferiority complex to most other shmups. I never realy got into the cave games personally.

"Die monster! You don't belong in this world!"
>Adol Christin explains that it wasn't by his will that he was given flesh.

This chart doesn't mention the SNES version of Ys 3. Does it suck?

I think people are drawn to Adol precisely because he's a simple character, he's the classic silent hero with a simple goal of adventure. For me, it's refreshing to see what with all these over-complicated JRPG character backstories and plots nowadays.

SHMUP autism, one of the more potent forms of autism since being good at SHMUPs gives you a lot of internet points. Cave are a SHMUP dev team, and Touhou are a popular set of Indie SHMUPs

Cave is a shmup developer, Touhou games are hard, there's an autist who I think has alerts set up to let him know when Yea Forums is discussing Ys because he has derailed almost every Ys thread I've ever participated in. People take the bait, and equal parts hilarity and frustration ensue.

i've LNN'd every game in the series
i've perfect pacified 4 out of the 6 ufo bosses

video related, literal perfect pacifism (inb4 you're a newfag that hasn't seen this, i had to do this entire thing again except with me shooting the piss easy non spells just to fit it onto a video that can be uploaded and even now the size was barely enough and i had to lower the quality just to get it this way)

MaZe started before most people here and he's a hardcore Danafag so no, not really?

Cactu >>> Whoever the fuck you are

I started with Ys 1&2 chronicles and I am a Danafag. I used to be a Lilliafag but Dana won me over.

>We are not the tools of any higher power. Each of us is the very embodiment of free will. Even so, there comes a time in every man's life when he must answer a call to destiny beyond human understanding. How will you respond when that moment strikes you? Truly, nothing is more awe-inspiring than one who unceasingly pushes himself beyond the threshold of his courage and will. I had hoped to embody such an ideal myself. Even now, many decades later, my awe for her remains unwavering."
>— Adol Christin. Preface to "Travelogue of the Gaete Sea"

I like how Dana has moderate to small breasts. It's refreshing.

Where does this ys virgin start. There are so many

I understand that
It's just that after watching the Ys 1 OP(youtu.be/ot3xkyCBwz0) as my first game in the series it made me think that the story would have some kind of overarching story about his adventures to find the lost city of Ys
Instead what I got is a quick and simple plot resolved in 1 game and the rest of the series was just Adol fullfilling a prophecies about saving the world from world-ending shit every day of the week
It just feels like a waste of good setup, even Rance did more that Ys with it and it was a porn parody

Umm, no sweetie, MaZe is the best player in the world.

the real horrifying thing is how feenafags actually exist even if she is not only the worst girl but also the worst character in all the games she appeared in
Dana at least was a somewhat decent character, Feena was an uguu defenseless anime girl all along

What was Falcom thinking?

Honestly, I think it's kind of a blessing, just look at Trails and how it's dragged out its major overarching storyline for how long. At least Ys can finish the plots it starts in one game. Besides, Ark sets up and connects the rest of the Ys series with an ongoing framework of lore of the Eldeen and the Romun Empire, so there's an overarching story, at least.

That is true, I haven't been in one of the threads in a few months now after the spike of rampant fag posting.
People shouldn't be able to identify other posters on an anonymous image board unless that person is blatantly identifying themselves. Being able to instantly identify someone based off of offtopic shitposts is no different than posting in /vg/ threads with a trip.

Sibylline Road really is an incredible track, no need to shit on Sunshine Coastline though bro.

All of the weird gatekeeping stems from the old days when it was impossibly difficult to even track down a copy of any of the games without directly writing to Falcom to special order a Japanese copy. The Ancient Land of Ys crew was super weird about piracy which was basically the only way to play the series outside of a select few games that had English releases, and even finding copies to torrent was a huge pain in the ass.

she has a kanji in her name that can also be read as "reaper" or something like that

I agree, the music and story in Ys 8 are exceptional. I don't mind the party games in general but Ys 8 is a solid mile better than the rest.

All this talk of Ys 8 is making me want to skip 7 and Celcetta and jump straight into 8. How much will I regret it?

Actually based

They'll seem like shit going back to them and it might make them a slog to playthrough. I'd tread very carefully if you were to do that honestly...

I'd say play 7 for a bit to get a feel for what it's like, and if you don't like it, drop it and move onto 8.

Alright enough of this shit, no more fucking around, let's do this.

I'm feeling similar, I just finished Seven the other day and started Celceta recently. I've played basically every game before Celceta and 8 so I should probably push through it to see if it's as bad as everyone says.

7 was quite good though
Celceta was kind of boring but still pretty okay

What will the next gimmick be?

so without trying to just act like an oldfag for the hell of it (i started with the all the bumper games first and worked my way up), when was it that you truly realized that ys was one of the best game series of all time?
for me it was at this fight at the start of oath. playing this on nightmare, the dodging was so fucking fun, i knew i was in for a fucking treat of a game with oath
that's not me shit talking the older games either, they're fucking stellar too, but it was at this point that i was beyond hooked

i think this might actually be one of the better first bosses of all time, i can think of a few from different game series that are good too but dularn is the most memorable

>the dodging and weaving in and out to attack

I swear Adol had the biggest admiration boner for Dana out of all his blue haired bitches.
Every time he talks about her he can't stop sperging.

He clearly does, it's not even subtle. Dana wasn't just some throw away blue haired bitch this time. It was sad as fuck what happened to her and Adol was shuck too.

Didn't mean to quote you, user.

The best part about the old games is that they're less than 10 hours long. You jump in, have a blast and finish before the hype dies down. It's a fantastic format and I don't know why more JRPG don't follow it.

If you're asking about a specific moment, it's probably the final boss of Felghana.

It's something I haven't felt since fighting Dark Fact. I knew I'd love the series the moment I started scaling Darm Tower in Ys 1 and I'm really these threads got me to try it.

After beating Galbalan, the fight is fucking amazing. It took me like 3 hours, but every I enjoyed every second of it.

S a v a g e

PSP versions have healing on their boost modes as well as a few other things that casualize the game but I can't remember what they are right now.

So do people play the Ark-style games with keyboard or controller? While some things are easier with controller, things like Adol's jump dash is super awkward with controller so I've switched to keyboard for Ark.

But Feena is the only one getting wet like the loose whore she is.

It makes the game easier if you use them all on him. Easy to beat most enemies just spamming his force edge and brave charge. You might want to use some hp and def increases on the girls though, and you can grind the stat items in late game anyways.

the character switching itself isn't necessarily the problem, it's just everything that surrounds it

>namely a lot of characters play nearly the same, they may have a different basic attack string, but in the end you just want someone who deals good DPS (at least ranged chars are good for recharging SP)
>every character gets unique skills but a lot of them boil down to the same thing because there's so many fucking skills to begin with, which is then crippled by the fact you can only equip four skills, only the support buff skills are something you want to look out for
>inconsistent enemy hit reactions means getting a juggle combo going (while switching between characters) is a fool's errand so you just spam the skill that deals the most DPS
>basically other characters are just another third of your health bar, you don't really switch for the sake of utility unless forced by the RPS-triangle damage type system in Seven/MoC

Falcom's current CEO is a bad influence on the company and their output over the last decade is just sad. The fact that more modern Ys games are good than bad is astonishing, really.

OH NO NONNONONONONONNOO KISEKI BROS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING

Its a damn shame about flash guarding, parry systems in general are pure cancer but to see a series go from deriving almost all its depth from positioning and dodging to completely disregarding that aspect in combat is just fucking sad. Whats sadder is that this wont change any time soon and people just lap it up because WOW I TIMED A BASIC BUTTON PRESS I FEEL SO BADASS, same as press x to awesome mechanics

To be fair I didn't think Celceta was awful or anything, but it was terribly average. Gameplay didn't impress, Nightmare mode was downright broken, and that amazing soundtrack you expect out of Ys was mostly a no show too. I liked the characters and the feeling of adventure was still there at least. The very abrupt ending was a shame, would have enjoyed a proper farewell to said characters.

Which tourny do you mean?

It's not outright necessary, especially not on Normal. I finished my first run on Normal without doing it because I never even knew about it and got through just fine.

But it will help make bosses feel a lot less tankier because it lets you deal bonus damage and spam skills/EXTRA skills faster
Like, there's NO reason not to always Flash Guard before doing an EXTRA skill attack because it will make your EXTRA do like 30% more damage, which is pretty huge. But actually Flash Guarding can be a bitch to learn because getting the timing right to parry feels like trial and error and the hitboxes on boss attacks are wonky. Also, DON'T try to parry tornado attacks because you'll get stuck in an infinite parry loop until the tornado ends if you don't want to take damage

Ys threads have always been the comfiest in the whole history of Yea Forums.
I'm proud of my fellow adventurebros.

I think if they used anything other than meteors it wouldn't have been that much of a big deal, like if they just used some monster to attack that would have been gay as fuck, but the meteors felt like a more grounded and realistic and made it all the more terrifying.

The actual narratives are so simple there's nothing to bitch about.
Every game has a lot of DEEP LORE/neat details but it's also pretty straight forward so people just talk about things they like.
There were barely even characters until 6, and a lot of the character writing is simple enough that nobody really pays it any mind.
Pretty much every single game either has great gameplay/game balance or a version with that, so there's no real black sheep games, just hated versions, and even then none of them are bad enough to really bitch about.

It's impervious to bitching, basically.

Because JRPG fans want their 100 hours of brainless grind and "comfy" experiences, which Ys arent on the hard modes while being too short and unsatisfying on the normal and below. Ironic how a series that begun as a casual take on the RPG genre has turned out to have some of the hardest RPGs around.

Out of all of the Galbalans that were made, why was the one in OiF such a beast of war? What made him be the alpha chad amongst his kind?

Will we ever return to the land of Ys in a future YS game? With eldeel trancending like alma feena and reah, will we ever encounter another eldeen? Will we ever play the north pole adventure and see what really happens there?

Personally I wish they'd branch out into making games other than Ys or Kiseki games which would follow a radically different gameplay formula like Xanadu Next and I guess Brandish: The Dark Revenant (unlike Tokyo Xanadu and Nayuta no Kiseki to some extent). In fact I'm still waiting for the future Brandish 3 remake so I can get my judo grappler waifu in full HD.

It helps that Ys threads have held a reputation for being chill and the fanbase likes to keep it that way. Ignoring shitposting and taking things as a joke can help a lot when it comes to moderating a conversation.

People who come to these threads also know why they come here and since there is little to no room for other types of discussion (since Ys isn't really a franchise for everyone), people keep the conversation going about the games without interruptions.

Crossbell may have set some pretty bad precedent, but I don't think Falcom had much of a choice BUT to sell out to the turboweebs. Their business was in complete shambles during the 2008-2011 period, with their stock value and software sales at record lows. They tried to maintain their old IPs on the PSP, but stuff like Brandish: TDR, Vantage Master Portable, and even Ys Seven sold nothing close to Ao's numbers. They had to sacrifice creative integrity for the sake of business stability. C'est la vie, I suppose.

You know user, I appreciate that you're at least cognizant that it was the start of the otakolypse despite your enjoyment of them. I wish more people on Yea Forums were able to be reasonable enough to say "Yeah X lead to bad things but I enjoyed it" or "Y wasn't very good, but I think it's fun in its own way" or even "I appreciate that Z is a good game, but I can't stand it."

Avoid PC and Vita versions, if you can

all of the ports are shit in all honesty.
Switch Ys has all of the DLC including the sony and pc exclusive shit but it's 30 fps

It's a shame this is going to be a PS4 only release. They could very well release this on PC the way things are and it could probably bolster the sales a bit considering the rereleases the series has been seeing on the platform.

There is only one way you can seek adventure while adventuring yourself and it's not with the Vita version!
Kind of makes me wish the other Falcom games were released for the Switch as well. I can't deny I was skeptical at first but adventuring in comfort is a joy I won't soon forget.

Perhaps so, their redheads are pretty chad and bro-like. You know, I kinda find it funny that Falcomfags are resorting to using/hijacking Ys threads as discussion hubs instead of using the many more plentiful Trails/Kiseki threads. What's up with that, I wonder?

Only at first, but we all know that the ports will come trickling in sooner or later to get our poor budget-tier company that is Falcom more shekels, as has been done with all previous games so far.

In fact one of my dream games is one where you are cursed into becoming a steel cactusman and end up running into everything trying to kill you in your quest for a hug

The Crossbell arc is like the Resident Evil 4 or Morrowind of Kiseki: games that did a lot of things right and are really good in their own regard, but introduced a number of problems to their respective franchises that compounded as they went on. Hopefully Kiseki takes the Resident Evil route in the long run, and not the Elder Scrolls route.

>implying Chadol would join any organisation
You and I both know if he washed up on the shores of Ruan, he'd then go on to solo all of Zemuria afterwards.

Adol will join the party in Sen the 5th.

dana forever

Adol would have no idea what the do since there’s so much faction bullshit in zemuria, he’d probably end up solo-ing both the dominions and the enforcers then fucking off in a boat before he realizes he is trapped

What's with the north pole thing? This isn't the first time I heard of this
I haven't played a few of the newer games, what did I miss?

Do it faggot I dare you
Go on that first chadventure

There's something depressing about realising that the Zava and Dalles from Ys 2 were just them being revived and brainwashed by Cain. They may be villanous dicks but not only were they manipulated by him and thrown away once useless, but afterwards even denied peace through death.

Your eyes are clouded. Go on an adventure and you'll see clearly again.

Bump your way to greatness!

All his adventures are gathered inside the Earth?

thanks anons

They are some great fun, but if you go for those specifically give them a good chance because the combat system is an immediate turnoff for many. It's weird as fuck but super fun. Stay still to recover HP in the field and grind your first couple levels before you can become the killer bumper car you were born to be.

The games have been framed as retellings of Adol's adventures according to his journals found by people thousands of years later, and it's theorised that he died or went missing at the North Pole at an age around 62-63. It was hinted at back at Oath with that opening narration of his, if you remember it.

Death was their peace. Imagine how it must have been to feel chained by Cain all those years when it could have all ended so long ago.

Where can I get Adol codex from VIII collectors edition? I FUCKING NEED IT

Then make a game like that yourself, you have no excuse not to in this day and age with all the tools available to you, with the right presentation it might even catch on.
>but it's hard!
Man up
>b-but I have a job!
Don't lie

Not if he brings a certain special adventurer's tool/item with him...

No I did not remember it, it has been too long.
Thank you for clearing things out for me though, I appreciate it.

>over one hundred travelogues
I guess we still have many adventures to see. Still 63 is kind of an early age to die and if all his adventures were recorded in his birthplace I'm guessing he went back to tell/write them which could have taken well over 5 years.
We just need to know if he died as he told them or if he wrote them and traveled again never to be seen.

Now the real question is... Where the fuck are all those books? Because this is an adventure I wouldn't mind reading

I'm not being passive aggressive. There's so much ironic shitposting talking in the Kiseki fandom these days that I can't tell when someone is praising any game in good faith anymore.

>I honestly believe this arc was a perfect 10/10, I can't find any flaws in it.
It was the first arc where Falcom really started to double down on the trashy otaku pandering. More specifically, it started in Ao, where you had some light harem elements and a full-blown beach fan service episode in the middle of the game. And this was after two games full of gritty, grimdark themes in their stories.

Never fucking ever. What's not known to many is that Adol keeps his adventures close, but his journals even closer. But I mean, there's the Celceta artbook journal, which is probably the only really good thing to come out of MoC

The first Trails in the Sky game was probably one of the most perfectly average JRPGs I've ever played. It was alright but a couple years later I couldn't be bothered to care enough to go and play the sequel, and I gotta admit the success of this series in general just baffles me.

>Avoid PC
I fucking hate dumbasses like you.

Buddy, this is an Ys thread, in case you haven't noticed. The secret to its success was that the sequel was way better

I'm not keen on the later Kiseki games but saying you only played the first game without playing the second is just retarded. The first game is literally half a game.

Hey, I don't know the configurations for that user's PC, and I don't want him cursing the fuck out of the game just because it crashes many times thanks to the jank NISA port. I'm erring on the side of caution here, though perhaps I should've said to buy and test it before hand.

The first one was just so average that I never felt like buying the second.

shit, oh well

I beat ys 1 and 2 on normal then later in nightmare
But the story captivated me so I sinned and broke my own rules , I played origin and oath on easy to get them over with

But honestly part of me doesn't care I like the story

That being said should I buy celceta since it rarely goes under $20

store.xseedgames.com/product/ys-memories-of-celceta-adols-travel-journal/

It's cheap as fuck!

It's expensive as fuck!

>"But honestly part of me doesn't care I like the story"
>when the Ys series is so chad that it can even get people to play it for its stories over literally anything else it has to offer
Take that, Kiseki.
Dawn exists, you know, but it's your call.

Adol codex from VIII cant be bought without the whole ps4 package and it's fucking sold out T_T
Are those books only related to celceta and Dana avdentures? I always wanted a full journal of the series

The gameplay in Oath and Origin was so nice, though. Although I can understand playing Origin on easy your first two times around, didn't really dig the thing they had going rehashing the whole game 3 different times.

SC's a massive step-up, you should try it sometime.

I recently got a switch and was looking for games on it because it's been collecting dust. I only played 1 and 2 before, how many of the Ys games are on it digitally does anyone know offhand?

Man, what ever happened to the Gagharv artist? His character designs are on-point.

Wait, never mind. It's a she and she worked on Rune Factory. I completely forgot.

It's weird how artists who usually work for peaceful games like Rune Factory or Atelier are the ones who usually make the biggest impact when they come over to games with a slightly more serious tone.

Imagine if Hidari ever got to work on Ys the same way he got to work on Fire Emblem?

Well, White Witch was pretty laid back until maybe the last third of the game or so. Its come to call were comfy town arcs and slapstick humor.
