Why doesn't Ys get as much love as Zelda? The mechanics and level design is just so much more advanced.
because it was on the TurboGrafx and Zelda was on the NES.
>>751585379Because Zelda had marketing.
>>751585379>The mechanics and level design is just so much more advanced.How for real?
lol fuck off
I wanted to get into Nihon Falcom games and bruh, you just fucking can'tMany of the older games are only on literal PC-88 or PC-98 with no translationSeries randomly break with no English translation or varying quality translations and ports.
Last good Ys game was over 20 years ago.
Zelda gets by on polish and accessibility. Ys is, or at least was, a series that was targeting a more hardcore niche. Those games aren't afraid to actually kick your ass. As for the mechanics and level design, yes and no. The action is faster and sometimes the endgame dungeons go harder, but on average these are more mechanically straightforward games with faster pacing and higher difficulty. Zelda tends to approach things at a surface level, but in doing so it mixes in a much broader variety of ideas. It's a tradeoff.
>>751585885>Ys Origin released on December 21, 2006Not quite. Give it 5 more weeks.
>>751585998Origin was the start of the decline. Nearly everything wrong with modern Ys can be traced back to it.
>>751585843Just playing the remakes of ys 1 and 2, origin, and maybe felghana and ark is enough. Falcom's long running series are all over the place so just picking a good era and not going before or past it is what I would recommend unless mechanic whiplash and jank doesn't bother you
>>751585885Retarded poser
>>751586126I'm more willing to throw Seven under the bus for establishing the series' current foundation. Origin's raw gameplay at least still resembles Ark and Oath.
