26 years of age. Adol’s partner, who traveled around the world with him four years ago. They say that he’ll take on the role of gathering on the drifting village, so he won’t be a party member this time around.

What the fucking HELL falcom?
>No adventures because of responsibilities
>>332409736
Holy shit is Dogi a time traveller or what?
He doesn't look remotely close to 26 years old
>best looking Dogi yet
>unplayable
>solo play is back
>but only when you're playing as a literally who
I'll skip this like I did Velveeta
>>332409736
why does he look so old?
not complaining, I like Daddy Dogi but seriously he looks so much older yet Adol is barely different.
So this confirms this takes place directly before 6 then right?
Also I am really asshurt that you can't play as Dogi when he is literally fucking there. What the fuck is Falcoms problem?
>>332409736
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO HIM AHHHHHHHH
>>332409736
Man, they really hate Dogi. He hasn't been a party member in ages. In the meantime Adol's been building a harem of bitches with every game, but we already know that he dies alone at age 62.

>looks old enough to be Adol's father
>26 years old
>>332410476
he doesn't look that bad it's just a really weird redesign.
>>332410420
you're not allowed to like anyone but Adol and his forced romantic interest that either dies or just fucks off
Gematsu article: http://gematsu.com/2016/03/ys-viii-introduces-dogi-barbaros-little-paro
Also,
>but since their teams are split up by a defensive battle, he’ll likely be a battle character.
Sounds like he's playable at some point, but lel who even reads.
>>332410329
>>332410752
He's not old, he got his hair dyed or something. Dogi's character design has changed more than enough over the years, I wish I could be as surprised as you guys.
Dad Dogi will be great once he's old enough.
This is just a ruse and the jamaican dude dies halfway through the game with Dogi as his replacement right?
>>332410776
Its weird seeing him with facial hair but he makes it work.
>>332410823
Blame Siliconera.
>>332410935
>Not keeping Not-Dogi for twice the buff
yo dawg
Also, Dogi was busy tending camp after the end of Oath in Felghana, this isn't too different for the dude.
>>332411098
Pretty sure theres already another blunt attacker. Its a little girl with a whip-mace.
>>332409736
Adol looks like a fuckboi now,and I'm completely okay with that
Pick this game up quickly Xseed
>>332409736
>Picture suggests they've been through thick and thin battling together
>not playable
>not even an npc party member
>>332411280
As long as he never wears a fucking hoodie again, I'm fine
>>332411280
>no shield
This triggers me
>>332411280
I'm still upset he ditched his armor.
>>332411395
>Shield
What is this Dark Souls?
Better start evading like Bloodborne faggot :^)
>>332411395
Shield won't matter jack against most monster Adol fight with though.
>>332411250
Indeed. No good reason to kill off Sahad yet.
>>332411386
>>332410823
>>332410823
>Downloadable content is planned and consists of free things, as well as costumes and accessories.
>free things
So they aren't going full jew like with Sen?
>>332410329
But adol also looks more grown up
>>332410823
That suggests he's a temporary character?
What does it mean by their teams?
The other article just suggests that he's the caretaker of the village you can develop.
>>332411670
Siliconera just lopped off the useful details from Dengeki and Gematsu like usual. But yeah, it's still vague as to how you get to play Dogi, other than him defending the village early on. Maybe you get to put him in your party by late-game, which is probably when Dana becomes an option too.
>>332411419
There is a DLC where you can make him wear the armor, specifically the Silver Armor from Ys I.
>You will never experience Ys 7 first time coliseum chills ever again
>>332411280
>no armor
>no shield
>no scarf
>lines and patterns everywhere
Eh it's not bad but I still prefer his Seven look.
>>332411863
That part was GOAT. Almost as good as Chester fight.
>>332411280
2017 since they have a long time with recording translating and waiting for the PS4 version
>>332411816
So they'll just do something like 7 again in terms of characters and Adol can use all three weapon types?
Actually that still doesn't make sense unless Dogi's weapon type is slash.
American Adol DLC when?
>>332411984
Most prefer his Seven look, it's one of if not his best design yet. I just hope they keep using more distinct artists like this one or Enami...anyone but that Celceta dude who draws everything flat and bland. Ys VIII Adol design is mid-tier.
>>332412130
None of this says whether or not Adol can get all-type weapons good enough for soloing the game from start to finish. I really hope Falcom puts that in, though, because I don't want to feel obligated to use a party if possible.
>>332411280
> sword has laces
shoeblade confirmed
>>332412240
If you assume it'll be like 7 and Adol can have all three weapon types then there needs to be another slash party member.
Sahad and that girl are blunt.
Hummel and the trap are pierce.
Adol and Dana are slash.
It would make more sense for Dogi to replace one of the two blunt attackers. If its not confirmed that Dogi isn't playable then maybe they can pull a Cruxie on this one.
I heard that they were going to delay the PS4 version to 2017. Is that true? I have a Vita but I want to play the PS4 version cause it'll no doubt run a lot better.
>>332410631
>in ages
He literally skipped one game.
>>332409736
Better article here: >>332410823
>>332412517
If you're talking about celceta. He still appears there as a cameo in one of Adol's memories.
>>332412197
This one?
>>332411670
>>332411816
There's town building and tower defense. Dogi's going to be playable for that. Basically we have 3 styles of gameplay this time around.
Solo - Dana's section
Party - Adol's section
Tower defense - Dogi's section
>>332410823
>His weapons and such have yet to be introduced.
His fists?
>Armor DLC is only for the LE
FUCK
>>332412517
Yeah it's true. It's such a ridiculous delay for a Vita port. One can hope that Falcom is working from ground up for it. If PS4 has 60 fps I'm getting it.
>>332412517
>I have a Vita but I want to play the PS4 version cause it'll no doubt run a lot better.
Man, I was so disappointed by Celceta's performance on Vita.
Graphic-wise it wasn't even that much better than 7 yet ran like hot garbage on Vita.
>>332412672
But he wasn't a party member or really part of the story from what I remember.
>>332412821
Where did they say Dana was going to be solo section?
>>332412870
Oh dear god have mercy on my dick
>>332412821
>tower defense
Are you serious? That's like one of the only genres I don't enjoy at all.
>>332412928
When they explained Dana's gameplay. She exists in a different time period and is solo play.
>>332412928
The fact that falcom said that 8 features 2 ain characters that you play in their own sections which is either adols adventures then his dreams of dana?
>>332412870
Is her name really Ricotta?
>>332413041
Don't worry, she''ll be censored when the game comes state side or when the developers want it to come state side.
>>332412928
It's shown in the screenshots. She's always solo. She will join Adol's harem later on though no doubt.
>>332413308
>censored
>XSEED
Tom would actually quit before that happens.
>>332412882
VIII looks much better
>>332413153
Then I am going to be majorly butthurt if they decide to change Dogi's weapon, unless its a greatsword or something.
>>332413434
Which means it's going run even worse on Vita.
Fuck my life, why did I even bought this piece of shit.
>>332413306
Yea, and this guy's name is Hummel (Hummus)
>>332413434
I can't wait to play Ys VIII on my PS2.
>>332413586
I wish he were literally hummus cause that would be delicious.

Tales of Ys
Well at least he's actually in the game this time.
>>332413896
>Not-Aisha
>We totally can't give you Dogi guys so have this Not-Dogi instead
>Another blue main heroine
Is this Ys things?
>>332414184
>blue heroines
>Adol takes no interest in them
>Dogi's hair is blue
What did they mean by this?
>>332413896
*tip*
>>332413896
These designs are shit! SHIT!Brown loli is cute though
>>332413896
Is that Karna?
>>332413896
>tales of ys
>implying tales of ever has a muscular character in the party
>>332413896
At least the fedora gunman is somewhat original in the Ys universe
Let's hope he has great lines like Hugo
>>332414647
It's Aisha.
>>332414731
>implying tales of ever has a muscular character in the party
Destiny.
>>332414731
Literally just had ripped Zavied in Zestiria.
>>332413896
Why will Adol go adventuring with those losers instead of his bro?
>>332413896
>ヒュンメル
What's his name in English? Hummel? Himmel?
>>332414846
How are they similar aside from being blonde?
>>332414945
Hyunmeru, duh.
>>332414917
Literally one game
>>332414934
That is a fuccboi. Find me one game other than Destiny that has a Dogi or Sahad tier character.
>>332414846
That's a washing board
>>332414846
Why was Aisha such a garbage character in her game?
>>332414945
The former
>blond
>blue eyes
>pierce-type weapon
>>332415207
Because her life and family is pretty shite.
>>332410116
>>solo play is back
Wait what.
>>332414846
Yeah, I don't know who that is, I've only played Celedia. I was told that Adol never has the same party in his games nor does he really see them again. Dogi is the only partner he's with every game.
>>332415362
At least its not ranged this time
>>332415561
You should try 7.
It's pretty fun. Celceta is pretty much 7-2
>>332415362
>Folding her arms
So she is a tsundere
fuck
>>332415561
Adol's only had a party in 7 and Celceta. He's solo in all the previous games with Dogi breaking him out of prison or a cave in at some point
>>332415715
She thinks adventures are a joke
>>332415715
Or maybe she's just angry all the time like some anons here
>>332415715
Remember that one time Adol gives a shit about tsundere?
Because I sure don't.
>>332415715
>not liking tsundere
>>332415715
Good.
>>332415116
>le point 2 me le muscular characters
>zaveid
>no no NOOOO NO ES COUNT ES FUCCBOI
Konnichiwa, retardo cuck-san. *teleports behind you and beats the shit out of you* Now then... never post on this board again unless you wish to die. throat*
>>332413896
Looks nothing like Tales.
Fujishima and Okumura designs are infinitely more conservative and tame than that.
If anything it looks more like something you would find in a Gust game.
>>332416154
>linking a character whose only personality is spouting "I-it's not like I care about you"
Shit taste
>>332416162
Truly my greatest ally
>Not wanting to have adventurous hatesex with her
>>332416484
>gust game
>artonelico and atelier
What? Its nothing like that at all
>>332414731
>>332415116
sup faggot
ITT Nobody ever played a Tales game
>>332417018
ADOL IN 100% OJ WHEN
>>332417310
This is correct
Which one should I try first?
>>332417401
Not Vesperia
>>332417401
Symphonia or Vesperia.
>>332417401
You'll never get a straight answer. I started with Symphonia first like most however.
>>332417401
Legendia or Phantasia
>>332417310
There is literally no tales game with a party that looks like this:
>>332413896
Tales games always has oddball characters instead of following a stereotypical trend. Like in one game the old character will be a mage while in the other it will be the archer.
>>332411280
Fucking hell, I miss manly Adol already
>great rack
>A+ pit game
what else do you want?
>>332418123
>stereotypical trend.
So that applies to Ys 8's party?
>>332418598
I'd rather have a machine that can control the weather or something.
>>332418598
My homely waifu back
>>332418598
Daily reminder that this homosexual abandoned her for a weather machine, only to lose it to Adol the second he activates it.
Dogi looks old as fuck. How the hell is he 26 and how the hell does Adol keep getting younger?
>>332415552
Guess the blue haired goddess we play as when Adol goes to sleep doesn't have any party members.
>>332418870
Cause he is younger in this game? I think he's 21 in VIII and 23 in VII
>>332418835
>abandoned her for a weather machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR53OMsn1Pg
>>332418749
She's dead though.
>>332418749
Your waifu has been dead for centuries anon.
>>332419343
>>332419394
Just like my dreams
>>332418749
She is cute but pretty much worthless combat wise.
>>332419109
I'm pretty sure Adol is in his late 20's by Seven
My god, Dogi's role literally god reduced to gather sticks and stones to build setttlements now.
>>332421165
Why is Adol such dick?
>>332420662
He's actually 23
>>332421445
He regrets never getting to dick the girls he met in his adventures
>>332421445
He can't express himself very well.

She's perfect.
I was never a big fan of those full 3d Ys, didn't like how they feel i comparison with its predecessors. But maybe I'll be convinced to give it a chance for her.
>>332422512
This is the first 3D Ys though
>>332421445
He got cucked by Lloyd.
I've been playing Celceta Nightmare recently, H O W exactly is this easier than Origin Nightmare?
I can agree on the bosses being much easier, but field enemies are a load of bullshit
- either really small or blend too well into the background or obscured by effects
- run around like spergs so your attacks can't hit
- projectiles also blend into the background instead of ACTUALLY being bright and colorful and distinguishable like Origin/Oath
- really big niggers who kill you in 1-2 hits
- the fucking water segments
- 30fps with dips because they zerg rush you all the time
The only feasible way for this to be easier is if your party AI is set to Attack, that way they actually distract enemies all day long and make the game a cakewalk. Set that to Dodge and everything goes for your ass instead. Add no item to that and it gets really messy
Also Karna joins 6 levels above me so I might have fucked something up
>>332423359
Those are the good parts. The field enemies are actually a challenge this time around unlike Oath and Origin. Using Flash Guard and Move appropriately is really helpful and fun

>>332421165
I think i need to read the manga now
bamp
>>332423359
Play it on PC
>>332420662
Well you're wrong.
He's younger in this game.
>>332423838
I see. Flash mechanics still feel iffy coming from the older games. Instead of evading enemy attacks, you have to put yourself -in their range- for Flash Guard/Dodge to occur, it's the complete opposite of what I'm used to. And the worst part is the SHOCKWAVES last a while so you're never completely safe.
>>332425930
but portabilityI got it ONE day before the PC version came out so I'm trying to convince myself I wasn't cucked
>>332409736
Adol doesnt look any fucking older.
In fact, he looks younger than he did in 7.
>>332425930
Not him, but I'm thinking 60 fps makes the game a lot harder. Flash Guards are much more difficult to pull off I find.
>>332426613
Ys VIII is set after V but before VI and VII so of course he looks younger. It's Dogi who looks older compared to Ys VI and VII.
>>332426723
>It's Dogi who looks older compared to Ys VI and VII.
This. Dude looks like he's 40 something even though he''s supposed to 26 in 8.
>>332414731
Tales bara is rare but when it does happen, it's high quality
>>332426723
Well, 5 and 6 did have that 3 year gap
I guess they wanted to fill that up
>>332427892
Honestly, VIII should show how Terra went from a jerk gang member out to scam Adol out of his money in Ys V to being a pirate in Ys VI, as well as show how he met Ladoc. Unless Ys IX is also going to take place between V and VI and show that.
