>new Ys game in 2016
Time to postpone my suicide once again.
>>320448428
>base building will be a thing in the new Ys.
This is all Minecraft's fault.
>>320448428
>>320449483
sauce?
are they really going te minecraft way?

>>320449590
Well I doubt the base building will be like Minecraft but it will have build a base that will have other castaways to defend it.
>>320449669
I only played Origin I and II because /v/ said they were good. And /v/ was right for once,
because the games were fucking good.
But the images from Ys VIII feel more like a shitty RPG instead of Ys usual gameplay.
I am wrong or the images are just misleading?
>>320448428
>>320450303
The series has gone through a number of engines and gameplay types. 8 is going to be taking its cue from the two most recently released games, Celceta and 7. If you liked Origin then consider looking into Felghana and Napishtim, they all use the same engine/gameplay type. (Though keep in mind they were released Napistim-Felghana-Origin, and they get more polished in that order.)
Only on PS4/Vita*

>>320451129
And this sets the tone for the next few months.
Prepare for endless shitposting whenever you mention this game guys, hope you're ready.
>>320450303
No it is still very actiony. Though easy because of the party system.
>>320449754
That sounds like Clash of Clans, I hate Clash of Clans.
>>320451287
this is pretty much any game that isn't announced for PC
At least over the past year anyway.
>>320452114
Weird how that doesn't seem to apply to Nintendo or Xbox games, huh?Probably because Nintendofags and Xboxfags don't shitpost as much.

>>320452209
>>320452114
Strangely, PC gamers always port beg for PS games but not Nintendo or Xbox games.
>>320452569
Probably because most of the PS exclusives are from third party devs since Sony can't into developing games for their own console.
It would be great if you guys don't turn this thread into consolewars
just saying
>>320452569
Because we know who is winning.
And Nintendo is impenetrable.
And we're already getting all the Xbone games save for Rare replay (shit we can already play elsewhere), and Halo (which sucks).
should I play Ys?
do i have to start at the front
>>320448428
The Weeping of Dana? What?
>>320452825
Too late.
As previously stated, it was sealed with this post: >>320451129
Enjoy your ruined threads, maybe /vg/ will be decent for your discussion.
>>320453147
Adol tried anal for the first time.
Dana did not like it.
>>320453060
Yes. They're fast-paced action RPGs, the story isn't that important. I recommend starting with either Ys1 or Oath in Felgana.
>>320453307
it'sliterallyirrelevant which I play first? they're both on PC so I can do whatever
>>320453305
Dana is either a goddess (hot) or a pearl. Ow.
PC is the future. Japan is very slowly learning to accept this.
>>320450303
you're right, new ys is shit.
>>320453641
As I said I barely remember the stories. Play Ys1 before Ys2 and Origins kinda refers to Ys1/2 while Oath/Ark is mostly standalone.
>>320453641
Play 1, 2, Origins, Oath, Napishtim
>>320453854
Ys has been on the PC since 1987 or something
who cares, we always get Ys
when the fuck are we getting more Brandish translations?
when the fuck are the zwei games getting translated? or tokyo xanadu?
that's what I want to know
>>320453219
I don't think this is the case at all. Their post had to do with Ys. The following comments didn't. Ys's origin was with PC and it is a shame falcom prefers PSP. There are plenty of articles out there on why and those should be used instead of jerking off about something off topic.
>Ys gets a subpar 8-10 hour game every 3-4 years now for the past decade
>Kiseki gets yearly 100 hour masterpieces for it's last 6 entries
Nice flagship.
>>320453854
>Japan
>Accepting PC
No they are not. They are all just going mobile or handheld. Japanese don't spend enough time at home to justify a console nor PC. They do all their gaming on the 2-3 hour train ride.
>>320449669
>Lacrimosa of Dana as their 35th Anniversary title, and to be released Summer 2016.
Is this series really that old, 35 years?
>>320454379
How many Brandish games are there? I thought they already did Dark Revenant and the that's the latest one.
>>320455379
I remember Celceta being 40 hours.
>>320455417
It's about the same time as Enix was around. But Enix however was deep into porn games in the early 80's.
>>320455417
Yep. Ys I came out in '87. It was also a spiritual successor to Xanadu, which was released in '85 and was a sequel to Dragonslayer, which invented action RPGs as they're known today. It's an old series.
>>320455626
it can't be 35 if it was released in the 87'
I was born in the 87' and I have 28 years
>>320455768
nvm, I'm retarded and I need to sleep
>>320455489
How fucking slow are you at playing games? I grinded out Adol's "hit all elements" sword and beat the game at like 25 hours on nightmare my first time though.
>>320455768
Falcom's 35th anniversary, not the series' 35th anniversary.
>>320455427
shit I did not know about that thanks f am
>>320455991
Not that anon, but I deliberately extend them out as long as possible. There are only a finite amount of Ys games. Might as well make them last.
>>320456898
That's what replaying them is for.
>>320457018
>not enjoying Ys for the story too
What is wrong with you? Cliche writing is my game you fag. I have 200 hours in origin and you can't stop me.
>>320457216
One day you'll finish that Hugo run anon.
>>320457420
Stop, your words hurt me. At least Silent Sands is a bitching song.
>>320457216
You are a madman but somehow I feel like saluting
>>320455991
I shit reaction times senpai. It's why I don't normally play shooters.
>>320457216
You'll get sick of it. I promise.
>>320457216
ok, if I care about story what is the order to play?
>Play 1, 2, Origins, Oath, Napishtim
is the current order from earlier in this thread, do you concur, o' wise story anon?
>>320448428
I quite literally just finished the first Ys.
how the fuck are people supposed to beat DF on Nightmare?
>>320457970
With great patience
>>320457970
he's pleb casual filter
>>320457970
Honestly it's not much different from hard or normal. You just have to have slightly better paths around the map. I guess being slightly better than perfect could pose a challenge though.
>>320457837
1, then 2, then Origin, then whatever.
Felghana and celceta are makes. Celceta is a vastly different version of 4 than the old two. fans often cited the pc-engine version of 4 as being the best, and falcom said snes was canon until celceta.
Felghana is amazing and easily the best version of 4
5 is snes only and mediocre
Play Napishtim before 7 and celceta though. a party member in 7 was introduced in napishtim. And a character added to Celceta is related to said party member.
So 1 - 2 - Napishtim - Origin - Felghana - Seven - Celceta is an ok order. Napishtim first just since it was the first of it's engine type and isn't as good as origin or felghana.
>>320457970
Get lucky and score multiple hits per pass.
Realize adol moves slower going down and I think left so you won't catch up with fact.
>>320457970
Since an attempt is around 30-50 seconds long, it isn't hard to just grind out attempts until you get it right. I think I beat it on Nigtmare first playthrough within 2 hours of reaching him.
>>320455991
>being a speedrunnerfag
>>320457837
If you want full effect and don't care about compatibility with your play tastes, that'll do it. Origin doesn't really spoil anything with 1 or 2, but you'll understand the undercurrent before it's supposed to be apparent.
Origin is a good start since it has new mechanics and easy to get into. Felghana and Napishtim can be done at any time (highly recommend 1 and 2 first though. bump mechanic is much easier to get into with thumb sticks).
Also, I'm pretty sure there are bigger autists than me here.
>>320457837
it doesn't really matter what order you play in
no one plays Ys for the story
Dana is cute.
>>320458628
Adol is cute
>>320458628
You mean Tia 2.0
>>320458823
>>320458628
You mean Feena 3.0
>>320458628
Designs look good. Who is the artist. Definitely not the in house artist they have been using. Looks like one of the better Otome game artists.
Not sure how I feel about it. I love Ys, but I'm disappointed it's vita based, so will probably have content fitting a handheld. This village system sounds pretty suspect too, but I guess i'll have to wait and see.
I hope it's good, obviously. Celceta did some much needed improvements, so since this is more than likely also based on 7's system I hope there's more improvements.
>>320458823
You can't have a copy of something that doesn't exist.
>>320459067
Take that back anon.
>>320457970
>how the fuck are people supposed to beat DF on Nightmare?
Dark Fact pathing and pattern never changes. You'll find an optimal route to killing him eventually. You basically just have to trial and error it until you get use to everything. It -looks- terrible, but in practice you should get in a solid hour of trying.
>>320458823
why are mishera's eyes open
>>320454375
And yet lately Falcom is full console.
>>320449483
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc
>>320459147
No
I'm just saying the truth here
>>320458823
>Tia
You mean Nia 2.0
>>320459354
nevermind I mistook tia for mishera
I can't get my blue haired bitches straight
>>320455392
Shmup devs are. They recently convened to announce announce their plans to invade Steam.
And Falcom's been on PC for decades.
It's happening.
>>320459365
They still do PC releases. Celceta got a PC release in October. It'll all come eventually. Japan PC market sucks, so they pretty much don't have a choice to release first on console.
>>320459830
Isn't that the Chinese PC port? That's done by a 3rd party and basically has nothing to do with Falcom. It's not even available in Japan.
>>320458589
>no one plays Ys for the story
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little piccard? I’ll have you know I fought at the top of darm tower for Feena, and I’ve been involved in numerous boat accidents across Eresia, and I have over 300 armor upgrades. I am trained in sword and shield and I’m the hottest red haired guy in the entire falcom library. You are nothing to me but just another Fact.
>>320460076
Xseed has said in the past the terrible DRM ridden PC ports that they have turned into their own PC ports originally were sourced from Falcom, so they help the Chinese third party as much as they do Xseed, presumably. It's probably just not in Japan because it won't sell, and presumably also needs japanese to be re-implemented.
>>320459708
I'll believe when I see it. Right now the only PC ports are over here. Hell I hope Japanese move to PC since it will force Japanese developers to actually fucking care about the state of their PC ports and not have a PS4 game needing a 980 recommendation.
>>320460436
>trained in sword and shield
>shield
Adol you have literally never figured out how to use a shield properly even once in your life
>>320460874
Xseed doesn't have any coders so they basically have to send them all the text file and Falcom insert it in the game. Xseed playtest it and send anything that needs to be fixed over to Falcom. I get they are a small company but they really should have at least someone that can do most of the minor fixes because that just sounds like it doesn't do anyone any good.
>>320461223
Ares (Varik) is a million times better at using shields to be honest f a m
>>320457970
He's pretty much the same as in Hard. His pattern is always fixed, though, you can literally memorize where to hit him.
>>320461403
>>>320461223
>It couldn't protect him from the coFeenald.
you can't hide your shitposts from me anon
>>320461674
When did they take spoilers out?
fyi ive been here all month
>>320461351
They have Sara. She handles basically all their PC releases. FC and SC's coding, for example, was handled internally by her. You are half-right though, xseed probably just works off a script and the Chinese release
>>320461750
Wonder why they haven't just contracted out for Chinese localization and worked with Falcom. Then again, it's probably because their contractors end up trying to kill themselves.
>>320462045
Didn't they talk about how getting the license for that is a pain? Been a while since I've read the SC blog but I remember them talking about the Chinese version of Ao (or Zero I forgot) but said that the license for it is weird.
What's the best way to play V, SNES or PS2?
>>320462045
They're tiny as shitm just don't have the man-power, and after SC's hired help totally fucked them over they'll probably be seldom to hire outside help again. If Celceta PC comes, it'll probably get announced after this new batch PC ports come out. Sara's presumably working overtime to get those out so Celceta probably just isn't on the table right now.
>>320462815
SNES
the combat is shit but it gets better once you unlock new swords
also you might want to play the Expert version cause the regular is way too easy
Why did they have to make the games so damn easy now? I never even broke a sweat on Seven/Celceta on any difficulty
>>320464204
quit grinding and/or stop buying new equipment
>>320464204
I'm playing Seven on Hard right now and they should remove flash guard and items on higher difficulty. It's OK for Normal to be aimed at casuals.
yeah but is TitS 3rd ever getting translated?
>>320464204
Japanese teens and otaku won't buy difficult games.
>>320464384
The new game will have a gauge for flash guard and dodge apparently.
>>320466094
I didn't hear about this. Source?
>>320458628
Why is Adol so hot
>>320458823
Where were you when Falcomkilledyour waifu?
>>320464384
I didn't even know Seven had guarding till I beat the game
>>320466741
me neither
I thought you were supposed to dodge everything
and that's what I did, dodge everything
>>320466741
>>320466935
Couldn't dodge the tornadoes from the bird boss and had to look up a video. They literally don't even explain it in game.
>>320467000
I remember dodging them though
It's just going to another weeb fuckery that goes on ruining the whole series.
Because you know what?
Ys 1 and 2 are forever the best Ys.
Weebs are a cancer.
>>320467206
Fuck you man Oath is perfection

Anon I...
>>320466727
butRixiais still alive.
>>320467181
I tried. Maybe the new game will cater to me.
>>320461045
NeverJapan is lazy they don't care, people don't buy the same game twice unless its Pokemon, DQ, or MH also there's the fact they are on long train rides everyday, they rather play KanColle than play PC games
