Are the Ys games any good?
Yes
>>738620334Most of them, yeah.
Ys 9 and 10 sucked. The rest are good. I had hoped the more mainstream success of 8 would give them more budget and resources for the series, but I guess not. Hopefully they can get back on track.
>>738620334yes!
Oath in felghana is the best one>>7386215389 is good because of krysha>>738621786
>>738620334Yes the older ones are great. I picked up Oath in Felghana for the PSP>Think its just going to be another generic Zelda rip off>Typical kill dogs and other basic shit>Get to first boss>Holy fuck>Ok well that is clearly a skill check the next boss will be easier probably>It fucking wasn't>they get tougher>oh my fucking god>The harpies are RAPING ME>Final boss is 10/10>Higher difficulties after>hidden bosses>10/10 musicImmediately went and bought 7 right after. Adol is the man. https://youtu.be/ATBcYQjE6rw?si=mh4s0DCGmalb1Rb6
>>738621949Ys 9 feels like a low budget game locking you in a boring town for most of it. Ys 10 did the same with a bunch of empty smaller islands. Not sure how they're going backwards after the Ys 8 island.
>>738620334I've been stuck on the bat guy for 12 years.
>>738620334Before the party system yeah
>>738620334All of them are great, regardless of era. People just have a hateboner for certain ones, the only real problem with the series is that there's clearly a lack of budget.
>>7386224159 had MORE budget than 8, if anything. The nature of the "adventure" is different which people have a hard time understanding, but all the locales and dungeons are distinct while also clearly following that gothic theme. Compare it to something like 10 where there's only like 4 different areas throughout the entire game because it's all mostly grassly island. Hell, the volcano in the key art visual isn't even a place you can go to.
Ys X is hard carried by Karja.
>>738620334>bump based combat Ys gamesUnique. Iconic. Timeless. Fun.>Oath in Felghana/origins/the other similar gamesNot as unique as the first two games but competent enough. Except ark which is kinda shit>the old zelda clones YsShit>OG Ys 3Actually really good, best game of the "genre">Party combat YsCringe
>>738620334Most of them are. This particular one is right on the edge of fun or disappointing.
>>738624756does she have magic floating hair?
>>738620334Play Ark, Oath, Origin and VIII.
>>738620334Can you just jump into any of the Ys games and enjoy it?
not really, they are like poorly made zelda or character action games but with obnoxious and forced grinding and no puzzles
>>738620334Ys8 is fantastic. X was pretty good, lacked in environments tho. Decent difficulty on hard
>>738620334Yes, very much, I've played Seven recently and it was great, Felghana, Naphistim and Origin are the best ones.
>>738627004They're mostly about that guy with red hair traveling to a new place and going on an adventure there. Other than Ys 2, they can basically be played in whatever order without missing out on what's going on.
>>738627601Ys IX does have THAT moment.
>>738621538I actually liked 9 more than 8. 8 was a little too generic for my tastes and 9 was just the right amount of edgy, and the story was also fairly interesting for a typical ys game. Haven’t played 10 yet but I’ll get around to it eventually
>>738620334they are made by niggers for niggers, what do you think?
>>738620334Yeah, played 8, 9, Celceta, playing 7 now. All good, even Celceta. Will go for the naphistim games next.
>>738627960I also like celceta and the people shitting on it are tripping.
>>738620334I've only played 1 and it wasn't that good.
>>738620334Ys 8 is amazing, careful tho - if you start with it then you wont be able to enjoy the rest of the franchise cuz 8 is too good
>>738621538>X suckedPlay Proud Nordics instead of vanilla X. Proud Nordics fixed the issues vanilla had plus new content. I'm having a blast with Proud Nordics. Already halfway through with 30 hours clocked in.
>>738627118Holy filtered. The gameplay and boss fights of Oath alone shit on every single Zelda title.
>>738620334Ys was super popular way back in the unc days. Nips fucking loved Lilia something fierce.
What the fuck was wrong with Adol?
>>738620334I'm still so fucking mad about Proud Nordics being announced like a month after Nordics' western release
>>738627665There are connections to some other games, and a lot of them work better if you know Adol has done impossible things a ton. Just starting in the middle of the Ys series isn't like starting in the middle of a book. He shows up at a new place and goes on an adventure there. You don't need every other game as backstory.
Felghana
I ended up really liking 1 & 2 but what were they thinking here?
>>738621538I don't believe anyone in their right mind likes Seven more than IX or X. Granted, I did play Proud Nordics. Karja and the gameplay were good enough that it overtook VIII as my favorite Ys.
>>738628418what new content? how much? not sure I wanna ply a full priced expansion after going through base game. but i did enjoy it.
>>738628701not at all, gameplay in zelda is peak puzzle and exploration, ys is basically just the most obnoxious kind of linear grind locked gameplay. at least in other grind heavy action rpgs like diablo the grind is more interesting and open ended
>>738620334ys 8 is the best in the series
>>738633773Has a post game chapter. QoL improvements, and some other stuff. Even the DLC from vanilla are also included.
So far I've played I+II, Celceta, VIII, IX, and XProbably gonna play Napishtim next
>>738620334Oath in Kamige + Origin are the best. Napishtim and I+II were great too. Dunno about the rest, but I'm currently playing through VIII.
Party Ys and its consequences have been disasterous for this franchise.
>>738634862It's definitely worth playing a game with that Ys 6 design. I thought it was very fun, though Oath was everything I liked about 6 but perfected.
>>738620334YS VIII is good, the rest not so much.
>>738629519Repressed sexual needs are released as chaotic adventuring energy.
>>738628780the fact shinji is listening to ys music surprised me a lot
>>738633725I'm a lot more forgiving of 7's flaws because it was the first time doing the style and it still looked like a Ys game. Celceta+ is where the designs went stupid.
>>738640636I played Ys 1 and 2 and I guess it is one of those "you had to be there" things cause I thought it was alright. The music was killer during it though.
>>738620334
>>738642120That chart must be pretty old because it doesn't mention several others have been ported to different systems.
>>738642224I think it's from 2012
i like this track a lothttps://youtu.be/ZwrSZwyyx6c
>>738628418I'm not replaying a game I didn't like because this time the devs fixed the glaring issues it shouldn't have had in the first place. I will also now wait for the rerelease of XI instead of supporting them day 1.
>>738620334i played felghana origin and chronicles and thought this series was amazing but then i played the rest of the series and they were like alright at bestinsanely inconsistent series and i played all of the good games first so having wade through all the mediocre shit soured me on it
I only played it on nightmare but Origins is my favourite Ys game.It's also the one I hate the most.
>>738620334None of them are great, but few of them are bad. It's a series of pretty decent action RPGs.
>>738620334I went into this series expecting to only enjoy the more modernized party based games but I played Ys 1, 2, and Origin and those three are my favorite games in the series while I still struggle to get into most of the more modern titles.
>>738633492It's a filter.
>>738620334It's a series of mostly 7/10s with the occasional 8/10 and occasional 6/10 or 5/10.
of the ones i played,Felghana > Origin > Seven = Napishtim > I + IIcurrently playing through Celceta and it feels about the same as Seven. all the mobs giving me status effects is aids thoughIt’s not an Ys game but I also played Legend of Nayuta, liked it more than Sevenhaving party members is cool but I feel like the bosses arent as satisfying to fight as in Felghana.
>>738627960>>738628274finally some celceta love, it's an extremely comfy game. in some ways i like it more than 8 because it doesn't have as much filler and is more tightly paced, even if 8 is overall the better game.>>738644106if you liked nayuta you could try zwei 2 which is kind of its predecessor in some ways. they both started as an ys prototype before being turned into their own thing as well.
1 and 2 are bump kinoorigins is bretty gudhaven't played the rest yet
The music in VIII is so fucking good, holy shit.This theme is LITERALLY perfect for the fights in which you hear it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylndM6_aNBQ
>>738622140you really should play ys origin, it's almost as good as oath in felghana
>>738644303First half of Celceta is very good, the game went downhill after you the pink loli joins.
There are a few between the stupid bumper shit and the stupid party shit that are OK. I would say Felghana is the best, but beware, it's also tough as nails. You will need all your wits to brave that one.
>>738644493for me its https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRVYb60feI8but the entire soundtrack is a banger, I wasn't too sure about the game when I started it up but as soon as I heard sunshine coastline I knew it was gonna be good
>>738645712That one is fucking rad too, yeah.Like you said, the whole thing is full of bangers.
>>738633869The simon says and moving block puzzles in Zelda are truly peak. And let's not get started on the peak exploration of empty fields and tiny "towns"
>>738627812>>738627458I remember playing ark of naphistim (ys6) and being jawstruck by the soundtrack , It's the first time I've ever seen a game get carried so hard by their own soundtrack that I was dreading playing another ys game because I know for a fact that the music wouldn't be as good as the one in 6 , never had that shit happen to me before Also how is ys7? Been meaning to pick up it some day
DARKFACT
>>738645228Felghana isn't that bad , it's hard but I'm the fun type of way , the first ys game and ark of naphistim though was some fucking janky nonsense , the final boss of ys1 should be considered a violation of human rights ethics
I actually miss the bump combat. Ys 1 and 2 are the one games I know that have it. Anyone know any other games that have that shit?
>>738621786sex with Krysha and Dana
>>738649371Bump combat was ahead of it's time but today it's just seen as outdated , you would have to make an entire game around that mechanic and utilize it in fun and innovative ways for that to even be a possibility
>>738620334YsX has a lot of cut-scenes but the game is really good and has one of the best Rpg action combat ever made. Only second to FF7R's.Ys8 is another excellent game.Didn't like Ys9 as much and Celceta was kind of ass too... Most of the isometric old-school ones are pretty good.
>>738649687Yeah It's kinda retarded but enjoyable in a way. Reminds me of old mmos sorta.
>>738649371I know a bunch but they are all PC Engine games. Never liked it though.
>>738622140>Hidden bosses Wait what?
