More FALCOMKINOhttps://youtu.be/RlV1mmgAzX4?si=LTV2yRXj7wq-HI--Adol speaks now, haha....
>>681519146they are re releasing this again?
Voices sound bad, new drawings look like shit. Typical xSneed slop.
>cutscenes are still in the old artstyleThink this will come as a free update for PC?
>>681519146what is the point
>>681519257looks like it, I honestly got no clue on what's going on
>>681519257>>681519994It's a remake not a port
>>681519146>Adol speaks now, haha....he talked in Ys 8 already
>>681519994It's a new version Falcom made for Switch last year.
>>681520416>remake>looks the same as the older one
>>681520416looks like a port of the PSP game because it has the boost mechanic
>>681519146>Turbo mode>Double the speedExcuse me what the fuck?I want to play that shit, now!Falcom LUDO is back on the menu.
I literally have no idea which is which
>>681519146XSNEED still having Oath confirms they've been sitting on CS I/II when they could've localized their existing Switch ports.
>>681521001Left is the old art (read: itself already a remake).
How are the modern Ys games anyway? Any good?
>>681521001Right looks soulless so it has to be that.
>>681521517Sure, but you're not gonna get obsessed with them. Still fun though.
the fuck are these dudes smoking
>>681521001OH NO NO NO NO
>>681521517i literally just finished Lacrimosa of Dana, amazing fucking gamedon't know about Monstrum Nox yet and Celceta is eh, if you still count that as modern
>>681521001which one looks like generic modern rpg shit? that's the new one
>>681521879Any Ys game from Seven onwards is modern.
>>681521879If you liked 8 there are many things to like about 9. You're also probably gonna hate a lot of things.
>>681522092i hate the premise alreadybut i will get it somewhere down the line40% is not enough of a discount for me, might as well pirate it
>>681519146I played like half of Ys 1 (the remake one) and a bit of this Ys Felghana and i just DONT get the fucking appeal.It's soooo fucking basic and just mashing buttons and jumping shit, with trashy stories.Sell me on this series, when does it get good ffs?? cause it feels like mindless hack n slash and dodge
>>681522291Why try so hard to like it?>>681522209The premise isn't the worse thing about it imo but it certainly doesn't make things easy. The game is a tiny bit more enjoyable the more previous games you've played because it incorporates some callbacks into the story. It's the last game in the timeline but they clearly meant for you to play it with 8 still fresh on your mind.
>>681522640>Why try so hard to like it?Because almost every fuckface out there is shilling the Ys series like it's some masterpiece... where it feels like some 5 or 6/10 at best that a 10 year old would enjoy
>>681523036So?You made your opinion for it, stick with it.
>>681519146>Adol speaks now, haha....Well, into the trash it goes
>>681522291Ys 1 is shit and so is every game with bump combat.Oath, however is excellent. Not because the combat is deep or anything, as you saw it was rather basic. But when you get to the bosses and their patterns that will have you dying again and again, you'll see the appeal. And the normal sections are great too because of that godlike power rock ost.Its just fun vidya gaems, mate.https://youtu.be/i5PLR1bRTQ0?si=Y0YoBmDozNOYD5V6
>>681521879I still had fun with IX, but it's a downgrade compared to VIII in most respects. VIII has great variety and keeps changing things up and evolving as the game goes on while IX is very repetitive and rigid.
Soultards toddlers don't know about Felghana on nightmare
>>681523270Thanks for your honest response anon, i'll give it anon go later, hopefully it just "clicks" eventually. And yeah i agree with what you said about Ys 1...that gameplay was archaic.
Celceta is TRASH
>>681522640>>681523345fine, fine i will give it a shot
>>681523453Ys1 and ys2 are unironically kino
>>681521879Oath in felghana is legitimately really good. Though sometimes it was quite hard.
>>681521517Bloated. The games should never have went past >15 hours average completion time.
>>681523647They will never get it because they can't escape "the clunkyness" boogeyman. But it's ok, not everyone has to share the same taste i guess.
>>681523803dunno why you replied to me, but i agreeFelghana is absolutely amazing
It's exactly the same game wtf did they remake
>>681523920The font color is slightly different, that'll be 40 bucks + tip + tax :^)
Ark>Origin>Lacrimosa>1+2>Oath>=Monstrum>Celceta>Seven
>>681523920You can play the game in speed x2
>>681523647If you're a nostalgiafag boomer, sure.
>>681523647>>681523828Perhaps, but they play like shit. Bump combat is not fun and the bosses are terribly designed.
>>681524273>Ark over Oathexplain yourself right now
>>681519146>Adol grunts every time he jumpsif they don't have an option to turn that shit off, this """"""""""""remaster""""""""""" will get slam dunked into the trash with the force of a meteormegaman x4 came out over 25 years ago and there are still fucktards who haven't learned from it and its constant HOO HAH HOH bullshit
>>681524407Comfier setting, like the characters and story more
>>681524508First time playing a game where the MC constantly grunts and it's always the same two or three voices?
>>681519146>dubInto the trash it goes
>>681522291>>681523270Filtered by bump combat
>>681524726no but i wish it was the fucking last, especially when they're taking an already existing game and adding some shit-ass voice acting it doesn't needi first played felghana on PC well over a decade ago and not for a fucking millionth of an attosecond did i think "man it would be so epic if this game was voiced heehee hoohoo"
>>681524889couldn't be me
>>681524889NOBODY is getting filtered by bump combat, lil bud. It just sucks ass as a system.
>>681524508>he doesn't love the cacophony of zero's hu hah huh and morengmiNo, seriously, do you have any experience with japanese games at all? Fighting games, even?
>>681519146Double boost ruins the difficulty.VA sucks.Not gonna double dip.
>>681520416It's not a remake, it's a port with new art
>>681524398Ys2 bosses are much better due to it becoming a pseudo schmup but also much easier since they're just not designed poorly.Dark Fact alone is peak kino bump combat in Ys1 tho
>>681525067>a ton of japanese games do this stupid shit so it's ok to add it to a game that didn't originally have it, let alone need iteat shit
>>681524508Holy shit taste.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6qMQjTLtj4
>>681521001Left has soul so that's classic.
>>681524407If someone rates Ark higher than Oath or Origin, it's almost always because "muh comfy setting" even though gameplay wise it's a lot worse than those two.
Too many out of the way invisible chests for my liking...
>>681524981>especially when they're taking an already existing game and adding some shit-ass voice acting it doesn't needHahahahah you should see the PSP version of Felghana.
>>681525413PCgamer...
>>681525413I understood the reference.
>>681525427i had no idea the psp version added this shit, glad i never touched it
>>681523828I ask you to explain why you like it. I've seen an anon on this thread saying it's overrated or whatever, i played the 1st and i think i sincerely don't get it. Up until the tower it was just a mediocre RPG, the shrine dungeon and the mines are essentially the same to me. At least the tower changed it up a bit with the mirror rooms and the transition rooms. I really liked how they made it so that when you get on the higher floors, the background actually changes instead of just being lazy and copy pasting it. I need to play origins since i think that one is 100% in the tower so maybe i'll like it.
>>681519725The VA was added as a free update years ago with additional soundtracks from the previous versions. I don't think they'll do anything else with it.
https://youtu.be/GFyUQUIvQOQ?si=fvLc71AWIEOiLyiw&t=93I hate it.
>>681525542You should see the different localization script. PC version is something more elegant while the PSP is your 00s anime dub cringe
>>681525427>>681525649>play oath in felghana>download japanese voice filesyep, it's adventurin' time
>>681521517generic budget jrpgs where you press flash guard and spam your abilities
>remake of a remakeHow void of creativity is the video game industry?
Dana won btw.
>>681525578If you liked the gameplay of Felghana you'll love Origin.Ys I has genuinely clunky bosses but honestly I deeply enjoyed it and II because I expected a simple cheap game and got a simple cheap game. You have to remember that despite being remakes, these games are among the one of the first generations of JRPGs with a semblance of plot. I remember getting a bit annoyed at the lava caves of 2 but overall the low-effort gameplay can be soothing for some people.
>>681525924
>>681519146These games cost like 100k to produce
>>681525904See >>681520587
>>681526008I didn't play Felghana yet, only the very first one and i am still not sure if i'll go through the 2nd book.>I expected a simple cheap game and got a simple cheap gameMaybe that's the problem. I always see people posting 3x3 with ys 1 and 2 on it, and talking about how good they are. I didn't expect a simple cheap game, i expected a solid RPG about a dude that wanted to go on an adventure and just felt cheated. I was fine with the combat, since just wanted to feel like i was seeing new places and making use of items i found, since that's what an adventure is in my head. But it all just kinda melded together, sadly.
>>681525924>>681526049
>>681525578I like the setting and the mystery of the land's history, how the game wastes 0 time and you're always moving forward, how it makes you feel like a badass that manages to beat beings above you with pure mc guffin collecting and sword skills. The bump system is preferable to the turn based system many jrpgs from the 80s had and makes grinding fast and painless. The visuals, artwork and presentation are very nice and the music is godly and sets the mood perfectly. It's a short and sweet game that you can still appreciate today. If not, too bad, who cares. I never said i preferred bump combat to later iterations or other action games but the game is a product of its time. If they somehow could remake it in 3D with an infinite budget and without losing any of the soul in the process it would be extremely cool. And even then i will still be able to appreciate the original.
>>681524398bump combat is fun and the bosses are a great exploration of how to give depth to the simplest of systems.
>>681519146>Xsneedand skipped.
>>681521523>>681522040>>681525359>pleasant to the eyes art = souless>ugly abomination and dated art = souldo tasteless retards really? lol
>>681527450remaketard with no taste, many such cases
>>681527450Retard.
>>681519146>game about Dogi's hometown>only seen for a split second in the trailerThe hate for Dogi even extends to the game's publishers.
>>681527450I find noses pleasant thank you very much
>>681527596>>681527698cry more, grandpa.
>>681527778Ramzabros...
>his name is Dark FactThat is the dumbest name I've ever heard for a villain. It's like calling the Ice Cream man "Cone".
>>681527778ohnonononono
>>681527809That was an artstyle choice.
>>681527915Shitty shading to make the nose's shape. It's not bad if it's all we had but the alternative is better so...pointless.
>>681527841>his name is Adolf Christian
>>681527841Want to see a worse name?Dark Fukt
>>681522291That's why Falcom games are godlike, pure videogame kino with no pretensions of being something else.
>>681519146nordics was so trash that falcom just had to re-release good games
>>681522291Its an "RPG" as an arcade game. They're very video-gamey games. Its not about depth so much is it about simple but fast challenging gameplay.
>>681519146
>>681522291>It's soooo fucking basic and just mashing buttons and jumping shityou can say that about any fucking game ever released dude
>>681528783I think they were made as an answer to how complex jrpgs like dragon slayer and xanadu were filtering many people. So they tried to come up with a recipe that would streamline many aspects. Ys tries to fill a very specific role. Complaining that it feels like a mindless hack and slash is missing the point.
>>681519146So wait, is that a port of that Switch version to other consoles or what?>end splash screen has switchSo no, its another version, after we just got a "new" version?
Thoughts on Sean Chiplock, the VA of Rean Schwarzer from the hit series Trails of Cold Steel, being a groomer?https://x.com/awryval/status/1807872778470560039https://x.com/VAsonicmega/status/1808192521694331091
>>681529160No idea but the other person saying that they are triggered makes me lose all respect immediately.
>>681529160Haha...
>>681529160>dub VAi know i definitely don't because i find cold steel extremely boring, but who the fuck cares?
>>681528749Oof, what was bad about it?
>>681528749Is it possible? Karja seems so cute and has a nice ass.
>>681519146this is the closest falcom will ever come to making a new game with no flash guardits funny, they put so much work into boss patterns but none of it matters cus lol flashguard
>>681529160I could not care less but apologizing like that is kind of cringe.
>>681530220They really should never have allowed you to have iframes after a flash maneuver, let alone being able to stack them. Also put unblockable attacks in or attacks you have to jump etc. That said, the games are kinda balanced around the fact that you're able to do all that so it's not horrible, just a bit of a waste.
>>681525204ngmi
>>681529160Haha... Guess he didn't hold back...
>>681519257Because its one of the best ys games due to its short length.
>>681521879Memories of celceta is the worst game in the series after origin
>>681532225wut? 20 hours isnt really shortits one of the best ys games cause its one of 3 games that arent bump or party shit, and 1 of those 3 games isn't done all that well
I keep forgetting consolebabs don't have access to all of the Ys games, glad they're finally getting this one, it's a great game
>>681532361Oath is like 8 hours tops.
>add voice actingWow, good job ruining it.
>>681532316memories of celceta is the only average game in the seriesrest are great or masterpieces
>>681532435maybe on baby mode... heh
>>681520425And in 9 (Venom Adol still counts)
>>681527450Tasteless retards really do. They think that everyone should wade in shit because they waded in shit first.
>>681529160Literally every dub union VA is a sexpest, their cabal swept it up for a paedophile that has publicly called a teenage boy "jailbait" and started throwing around suicide bait and legal threats the moment the kid tried to talk about what he did to him. Daman Mills was the guy's name, look it up.
>>681533039clueless
>>681529160>Leftoid creature getting outed for being a groomerI'm not surprised.
I fucking loved Origins so I'll get this day 1
>>681532656Anon, you can grind difficulty away on all Ys games but Ys 1.>>681520425Technically Adol had voice since Ys 7, he had voice clips for attacks in Japanese version. In Memories of Celceta they added those dumb pointless "select what to say next" so he had "dialogue". In 9 they added voice for Crimson King and 10 has full on voice acting for Adol.Shits fucked.
>>681533430>Anon, you can grind difficulty away on all Ys games but Ys 1.And tell me how long that takes on nightmare
>>681532316>after originwhat are you talking about? Origin is GOATedfor what it's worth, i didn't hate my time with Celceta, i guess you could say it is the worst of the series but given how good the other games are that is not much of an insult
>>681533545Dunno, after beating Ark on Nightmare I swore to never play Ys games on Nightmare again. Or specifically on highest difficulty since they introduced shitload of new, "higher" difficulties in modern games so Nightmare became basically Hard.
>>681534537origin as toal on nightmare raped me, i had to watch the ending on youtube before collecting myself and forcing myself to grind some levels and try again
>>681534537>>681535087Casuals. HAHAHAHAHHAHAA!
>>681535087>>681534537I kinda started playing the series in a weird order and haven't touched the ark engine games yet. Do you get to pause and heal hp like in the party based games? Because nightmare means nothing there, people can spam items all day even reviving party members. The only people that do it legit also no damage it.
>>681535280No mid battle healing.
>>681535280you can heal mid battle in ark only
>>681535390>>681535446ok thank god
>>681535280In Ark you can get up to 3 healing items that are used automatically if you play the default mode. Other mode (don't remember the name), Oath and Origin offer no midboss healing, you only heal from getting herb drops off enemies.
>>681527841Fact is the name of one of the 6 clans of Ys Priests.and the Fact clan is full of dicks.DarkCainHugoTovalall assholes in some way
>>681519146>Thank you very much for saving meUGh, why do non-union VA talent have so much SOUL! One of the things that have undeniably improved since the Troy/Laura/Liam O'Brien shit era of americafag VA.
>>681519146cant they just release ys 'classic' collection with all the titles prior to 8? they've all been ported and work flawlessly on pc, so porting these to controls and adding some menus wouldn't hurt it. honestly i still haven't played origins myself, and i forgot to finish 7.
>>681535632They also voice loli characters waaay better now. It used to be the number 1 spot to look for cringe
>>681529160He tried to fix a young woman in danger of cutting her breasts off. He did nothing wrong.
>>681534537>Dunno, after beating Ark on Nightmare I swore to never play Ys games on Nightmare againSO THEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT!!!! GET OUTTA HERE!!!
>>681535087>>681534537Fake fans. Ys was made to be played on nightmare.
>>681538000dont caremight do it later
Why are they announcing this before Ys X English release? Just give us the fucking date
man i really hope durante pulls up with 2 player co-op for X, should be even better with only a 2-player party
T_Thttps://youtu.be/fTV0Q0yvejM
>>681541974I didn't feel anything.
>>681519146Good thing it's getting a physical release
>>681537768napishtim requires grinding because the damage formula makes you do literally 0 damage if you're too low level
>>681525047bump combat is great
>>681542120>>681541974the song itself is great and emotional, but the character is whatever lolys story only started becoming impactful with 7 and peaked with 8
>>681536213He really is /ourguy/
>>681524374>>681525578I beat both a few months ago. It's short, it looks nice, sounds great, is fairly challenging, and the bump combat is simple and satisfying. It's a video game at its core.
>>681532361I just played through the game on normal and it took 10 hours.
>>681519146So what's the "lore" order of the series
>>681546548the timeline isOrigin1+210Oath of Felghana (3)Memories of Celceta (4)58Ark of Naphastiam (6)79
>>681546548the lore was abandoned 20 years ago its not like it matters anymore
>>681519146This game is not worth the 40 dollars they'll inevitably charge dor it.
>>681546416yea im aware baby mode is shorter
>>681546915>$40Haha...
>>681546715nothing matters anymore
>>681546548Old race of technologically advanced humans left for the heavens after humans got too greedy with learning their technology. World changing artifacts from that era are still left on the earth and can cause trouble at any time (they do).
It's just a re-release of the same game but with new art. Adol is narrating the trailer. Otherwise the voice acting heard is the same as the old version.The question is, why? Do "modern consoles" not have this game already?
>>681546548Oh order. You'd have to jump around because ancient events that Adol involves himself later on happened at different order than when he visited them or even at the same time.The timeline is just Adol's age, not the lore order.
>>681546703Why are they wasting ~100 bucks sprucing up Felghana when they could be working on a Ys 5 Sands of Kefin definitive Falcom canon remake? Hopefully that's next after Nordics.
>>681545916I raise you fairy butt
>Adol, remember to leave a trail of disappointed, horny bitches wherever you go adventuring.Will she ever return?
>>681548560Good fairies.
>>681548875No. Dana finally won.See >>681525924
>>681548875I hope not, i like the bittersweetness
>>681548949>Feena>DanaTomato, tomato, potato. Adol, do you wanna bang *this* tragic blue-haired goddess lady, the *other* tragic blue-haired goddess lady, or the *other other* tragic blue-haired goddess lady?Man's got a type at least I guess.
>>681549340They are a bit different. For example Reah strikes you as a bitch. Maybe it's just me.
>>681525047Bumplet detected
I feel like him talking is weird, but I guess it had to happen eventually.
>>681519146>Ys will never be this sovlful againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwEYxVhr16k
>>681550068It is. It didn't
>>681550112I don't hate it though. Ok the voices are bad. But hey remember when Ys had openings?
>>681549601I don't remember Rhea being anything except Feena's more musically inclined twin sister.>>681550068He's not going to be talking. This is the same Oath of Felghana as before with the same voice acting as before except with updated art, just so it can exist on PS5. They just had the actor that normally does the "HYA! HAH!" stuff come in to say one sentence of dialogue for the trailer.
ricottas a nigger
.
>>681523382That's because I went straight to inferno.
>>681550767no you didn't
>>681550410https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SPhzt2nS1I
>>681519146Is it just Fe;ghana with new art? Who fucking cares?
>>681550767I don't even remember if Inferno is available from the start in Felghana. It might be. I don't remember.
>>681521517Dana > X > Monstrum
>>681550410Still better than any cutscene in CS1 and CS2.
>>681532225Memories of Celceta sucked, though. It was boring as hell.
>>681523828>>681524398Bump combat is fun. Ys 1's bosses are hot fucking shit though. They're either stupidly easy or insanely fucking hard. FUCK dark FAG and his gay fireballs. Ys 2 is top tier and has far better bosses. The soundtrack isn't as good a the first games
>>681551743>>681532225Aw shit, I read Memoire and thought of the wrong game. My bad.
>>681519146When’s Nordics getting localized?
>>681521517Very influenced by Rean's games it seems.It was a culture shock for me because I hadn't played Haha man's games at the time and now all of a sudden my boy Adol gets slapped from innocently walking in on a tsundere randomly skinny-dipping in monster infested forests. (Lacrimosa of Dana)I still like Ys but it's not the same series it was when I started playing.
>>681521517Flashslop. Still more fun than rollslop
>Feena gets denied that CHADOL dickWhat the fuck is Falcom's problem!?
>>681551868all we know is that it's Fall 2024
>>681551868Fall 2024
lol I like this douchebag
>>681551973She got turned into a statue. If anything Adol is literally wearing a chastity belt since Ys 1&2 because he's so in love with her and none of the bimbos he meets after can compare to her.(Danafags, don't even with me.)
>>681551973He had to learn how to flash move first so he can reach the frequencies of bump combat that a godess needs.
>>681552180Feena is prime virgin pussy waiting in stasis so my man can have his adventures first. Top tier waifu.
>>681552158>best boy has a rivalry with brown tomboy.It's too bad she dies but at least she dies in his arms.
>>681552503not canon
>>681552180>>681552326A literal goddess is fitting for a man of such chad levels as Adol
>>681552585Oh right, I forgot that Toal Fact the Hedgehog is the canon playthrough. Nevermind. Good for Hugo.
>>681552158God he’s LITERALLY me
>>681552503>she diesNot really
>>681553082Yes I know. >>681552896

Why would you put a negative feature on your advertising?
Well, /v/?
I JUST WANT TO PLAY AS DOGGI AGAIN FALCOM
>>681554059I believe this is a complete lie. The game is entirely the same as before but with new art. There's really not any room for Adol talking. In the original there's even a voiced narrator that chimes in with "Adol nodded" and so on. Maybe they're changing that to Adol speaking instead, or something??>>681554420Left but right isn't bad, just more potato-like.
Team Ys > Bump Ys > Mash Jump Ys
>>681521001Fucking soulless
>perky vs natual sagcan't really decide these days
>>681554420Yes
>>681519146>soulless art>they already have English voices even in the old localization>giant mobile game UI>old version already supports high res and infinite framerate and is smooth like butter>old version already supports Japanese voices (just replace the audio files in the folder)There's literally no advantage to buying this. Chances are, they will fuck something up.
>>681556054It's really confusing why they're wasting even a little money on doing this. Literally for what purpose?
>>681556054Japan never got the features
>>681556054>Chances are, they will fuck something up.My nigga in christ, you *just* wrote down some of the things they have fucked up!
>>681554757is this sorted from shittest to best?

>>681551165>that amount of people just being happy and sharing their experiences with the game in the comments 15 years agoToday it would be full of whiny little shits "oblivion le bad!!!" or just copypasting normalfag memes

>>681542120Yeah he was a prick, but he died honorably. I dunno, maybe I felt more bad for Elena.
>>681554420At least they give you the option for the older illustrations.
>>681554420left is stylistic, right is generic
Ys 1 Nightmare is silly, only bat and Dark Fuck are problems, where does the series get shitty and I can jump off?
>>681522291when does it get good ffs??From the very first game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPKDEHFXIc0
Reminder, Sandy is one of us. https://youtu.be/kFZNpT_INmA?si=eeEYcH0nHMuI7iB7&t=908
>>681524289I already could before.I guess now it's native.
>>681558751jump off at memories of celceta and jump back in for ys 8 right afterwards
>>681558751>where does the series get shitty7but 5 is also shitty
>>681541974bros...
>>681558929I kneel.
Ys is the one of the only game series all of /v/ enjoys. It's a miracle.
>>681554059This is kinda stupid sounding too when you consider the fact that in the original Wanderers from Ys III, Adol actually spoke. And if memory serve, they never did that again.
>>681519146Are there jp VA at least? I refuse to hear american VAs in non-american games.
>>681541974For me one of the most memorable moments was getting literally thrown into hell and then this starts playing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxsxevyPuFU
>>681522291Oath and Origins are basically top down Mega Man.
>>681561935*It's Megaman X7 done right
>>681519146I don't like the new Ys. Mainly 7,8 and 9. The dodging feels flakey and innaccurate. The hurt boxes from enemies linger long after they swing. Oath in Felghanna is still the best game in the series. Attacks are pixel tight. Counters, limited healing so you have to play smart and no long interruptions so allies can tell you their life stories.
>>681521879Celceta was widely considered one of the worst games in the series and yet 9 is somehow even worse. The only game I've actually never been able to bring myself to finish it's so offensively dull.
>>681549340>Dana>Whole story is about her and Adol dreaming of each other>Breaks through time and a world ending event to be with Adol>Multiple romantic scenes between Adol and Dana>They don't even kiss, hug or hold handsMotherFUCKER
>>681562676>They don't even kiss, hug or hold handsfixed in the OFFICIAL novelization>>681525924
>>681562315oath is the best one but the newer ones intentionally design the attacks that way. it's so when you flash step, the enemy is stuck and you can get to their weak point
>>681562616>The only game I've actually never been able to bring myself to finish it's so offensively dull.It's the next game on my list. Between Steam and GoG, I have 8 of the 9 Ys games and I've taken my sweet time to play them over the last ten years. Oath In Felghanna was the first game in the series I played on /v/'s behest.
>>681563171. . .
>>681563232You can see which on the right.
>>681563298SAD!
>>681562676>they don't even hugmissed the true ending, shouldn't have skipped the sidequests bucko
>>681562940>ones intentionally design the attacks that way.It feels like Utter ASS. It's like dodging in Breath of the wild or ToTK where the time, space and area where you can trigger the dodging effect is wonky as fuck. I've literal dodged then walked in, only to get hurt by shadow shock waves. It's awful but the game is interesting enough that I can bare it and grind through.
did 10 suck
>>681563352Not him, but to be fair going for 100% is a bitch after 2 in comparison, though I'd just do Nightmare/Survival and SAM the rest. Difficulty cheevos like these really should stacks, other games do. Thought speaking on only 1, grinding, doing the character/enemy journal mastery (after missing the Doctor NPC) and having to kill each enemy 25 times each to get all their stats.That shit is fucking annoying, I get it for the time, since the cap is Lv.10 but I wish they could've had rare drops or something.I did love doing everything I could, because the music, the sprites and the talent were cool to take in. So thank god Normal and Nightmare are all that are asked of you here.
>>681563298>You can see which on the right.>>681563352>SAD!I beat it on normal, not that I'm bragging about it, but I have too many games to achievement hunt and I like playing Blind.
>>681562676Falcom really do shoot themselves in the foot by being obsessed with interconnected games where they can't challenge the status quo.
>>681563354>missed the true ending, shouldn't have skipped the sidequests buckoNo, I got that True Ending. I looked up the endings after I beat the game I got it. I'm sticking to my story. I don't remember Dana and Adol hugging, holding hands or kissing. Maybe it did happen in a blink and you miss it moment but I would have remembered Adol holding Dana down and giving her what she wanted.
>>681563517Kind of middling. Not as good as 8, not as bad as 9. But also not really doing anything memorable to set it apart so 10 just ended up forgettable.
>>681563857>by being obsessed with interconnected gamesThey're not really connected, the graphics, gameplay, story, setting and team mates change game per game. If the characters in question disappear after each game, does it matter what they do? I'm just staying that Adol could have a harem with all the girls in each game and it wouldn't matter because they just disappear and are never mentioned again after each game.
>>681564341Yes they're not very connected but they ARE connected which means you can't have Adol having a romance with a character in one game because unless she's going to just tag along into the subsequent titles she's going to be forgotten. The reason Adol is completely asexual is because of the series' interconnectivity. The degree of that connection is irrelevant.
>>681519912easy $$$$$$$
>>681564475>unless she's going to just tag along into the subsequent titles>The degree of that connection is irrelevant.I very heavily and thoroughly disagree. If past characters are going to be a text line of reference or a picture of a reference, then there's no point on holding back because of continuity's sake. In fact, I feel it might be the opposite. If you heavily interconnect the previous games' story, characters and events, players are more likely to remember the story, stick with the series or go back to previous games. If you're going to play the "interconnected" card go all in. If you're going to play the Restart fresh from a blank canvas, go all in. All this pussy footing about because of character integrity is boring as fuck.
>>681519146The only actually good game in this incredibly mediocre franchise.
>>681565957Don't care, I'm buying it and the next one after that.
