It's really easy to abuse the crafting and weapon fusion system though if you know what you're doing
>>3989637>game is easy if you know what you're doing
It's fine, but seven and viii are very similar and slightly better so celceta gets overlooked. Dawn of Ys is also a superior "ys iv", not that that matters
>>3989689I've played both Dawn of Ys and Seven to completion and I think Celceta is better than both
>>3989693One caveat though, the story and music in Dawn of Ys is better than Celceta. Really can't stand the power of friends anime bullshit in later Ys games.
It's pretty bland even for an Ys game
>>3989637nah it's shitdesperately needed a jump button and light platforming elements, same with Seven
>>3989637>game is easy and ugly>story ends abruptly with literally no endingI guess it's good because anime waifus or some shit? Weebs always have such low standards.
>>3989637It's a significantly worse game than 7 despite using the same systems and of 7-4-8-9 4 is easily the worst, so no, it's not underrated at all. It's also ugly as shit.
>>3989637there was weapon fusion?
>>3989637It's over-rated, by the virtue of (You) rating it.It's a parry/roll slop with mediocre graphics. There is nothing praiseworthy which the game has to offer.Ys peaked with origin, and became open world slop after that. Which ruined any chance for the franchise being good ever again in the future.
This will always be the peak of the series to me. The controls are surgically precise.
>>3993209Haven't really played a Ys game with bad controls. Even Napishtim's dash jump was fine when you didn't have to use it during the final boss. Felghana has some completely stupid hitboxes for sure though, even the first boss' spear attacks hit you without touching you.
>>3989637I've been stuck on the bat guy for 27 years.
>>3989637The two bad things about it is the abrupt ending and map shenanigans
Thanks for the bump, I beat this the other day. It was a little too easy on normal modo but I stand by the OP, it was a kinoge. I liked it more than Ys Seven.>>3993288What difficulty? The bosses in this game are so easy I hardly even remember. Was that the optional boss in the mines?If you're struggling at all remember this trick when fusing: buy short swords/leather armor. Fuse with materials for stat boosts. Then fuse those stat boosted short swords into your most powerful weapon at the time. You'll spend a tiny fraction of gold to basically max out all stats of your most powerful weapon. I almost recommend against this if you're playing normal because it basically broke the game.
>>3991333Yes but it's easy to miss. You can only do it at the fishing village smith. All the other smiths only upgrade weapons with mats.
Not sure why so many are complaining about the graphics, when have Ys games ever been known for graphical fidelity? Posers>>3998842The map was indeed bullshit. It's not properly programmed. You basically have to hug every wall if you want 100%. I spent hours hugging walls at the very end of the game because it was stuck at 99.6%...
Why do I still pronounce it as Yes
>>3989637It's horrible. Worst version of Ys 4.
>>3998916>Not sure why so many are complaining about the graphics, when have Ys games ever been known for graphical fidelity? PosersThere's a difference between graphics being adequate and graphics being ugly, and Celceta is the latter. It doesn't help that the new style was plain worse than the preceding games.
>>3989637>Play 1 and 2, love it >Play Origins, love it >Play Oath in Felghana, love it >Play Ys 4, expect a remake on the level of Oath>It's pure 2000 damage special attack heal in menu slop I guess exploring the map is a cool gimmick but the game is just bad
>>4000893Looks fine if you turn off the ugly bloom effect (called HDR in the settings).
>>4001273Origin, not Origins, no idea why like 80% people see the "s" when there's none.Also, stop playing in the meme timeline order, and you won't have these issues. Celceta is like a prototype for Lacrimosa, which is the best game in the series. A lot of the same mechanics and concepts, but much worse executed. If you play in release order it makes sense though.
>>4001598Yes this was basically my settings. The bloom is unbelievably ugly. Turn that shit off and it's tolerable. Thank god that trend died out.
