Can someone explain to me why /v/ fellates this series non-stop? Nothing about it is very good (except maybe, MAYBE the music). They're mediocre and barely a step above dojinsoft games.
>>340626697
>/v/ is only one person
People that don't play videogames hate it
>>340626697
Please tell me which ones you've played and why you hate them, anon
>>340627357
Memories of Celceta, 1, 2, and Oath in Felghana
I never said I hated them, I just think they're all pretty sub-par and not deserving of the unending praise they get.
>>340627630
Okay, but why do you think that? What let you down when you played them, besides for MoC
>>340626697
>that absolutely shit taste
git gud
Only Ys Origin, Oath in Felghana and Dawn of Ys are top tier vidya though.
>>340627720
Shoddy graphics and UI, extremely basic gameplay and RPG elements. Again, they're not bad, but they're so far from being good that I don't see the purpose in holding them in such high esteem.
Rather what do you think is so great about them?
>>340627720
Your question is stupid. He doesn't need reasons to be unimpressed. People need reasons to be impressed or disgusted, but being moderately entertained is the default that doesn't require justification.
So his question is valid and yours isn't.
The difficulty.
>>340627874
Cool boss battles, tight gameplay, serviceable graphics and kickass music.
>>340627874
I love the fast combat, chopping up monsters to an awesome soundtrack and take down glorious bosses.
Shoddy graphcis yea, but It's a little old and I like the boss designs.
>basic gameplay
I agree, but I like that. Can't really explain why. It just feels good I guess.
>>340627893
I just wanted to hear if he had any reasons and he clearly did. Chill, anon
>>340628091
so many games have those though, Ys does little to stand out.
>>340628156
Reasons he provided were reasons to actively dislike the game. He likely had to exaggerate to explain why he wasn't very impressed by the series. As for reasons to being midly entertained, there can be none, which is what I am talking about.
>>340628215
Then again, I haven't played any games that come to even close to Ark/Oath/Origin's engine other than some 2hu clones.
>>340628215
It's hard.
>>340628215
It has boss fights like Darm nightmare. That alone is a reason one should play it
They are just wapanese contrarians. Like the type that only read Berserk but thinks all manga and anime is shit, other than the stuff their 14 year old self likes
Ys games are stiff as fuck, making them annoying to play. Most of the difficulty comes from the old school way of having to really awkwardly line yourself up because moving and attacking is not fluid. You can see the lines your character is locked to. That was ok when most games were 2D scrolling, but it isn't
>>340628703
What. Did you only play the Turbografx games or something?
>>340628703
>stiff as fuck
But that's wrong anon
>>340629008
It's the same in the newer games, just less extreme. Everything is clearly still locked to a plane for easier hit detection. Reminds me a lot of playing old games like Streets of Rage where you are kind of just sliding up and down on a 2D plane, except you can also punch up and down the screen too
It could have at least the illusion that it isn't the case, like the Tales Of series, but the devs clearly aren't competent enough to do so
>>340628703
The movement and combat in Ys is extremely simple and easy to maneuver. The difficulty comes from the well designed boss battles, that's what makes the games fun.
I don't really know what you're talking about, if you let go of the movement and just press attack near an enemy your character ''locks on'' automatically.
>>340628703
>>340629268
The fact that the game has lock on at all says a lot about its flaws
>>340629515
Oh, okay.
>>340627819
I'd argue that Ys II belong there aswell
>>340627893
He's come to a conclusion and not the full argument. He has plenty of time to justify why it didn't meet certain marks of his standard
OP if there's anything that's on your mind or bothering you be it family issues, personal issues whatever, you can talk about them with somebody
>>340629681
Seriously though, lock on in a game with this view perspective? Developers long ago mastered action games like this but without clunkiness
Lock on is mostly a relic. I mean look at games which still use it, console shooters to make up for inaccuracy of the control schemes and Nintendo games where the lock on is designed for very young kids to be able to play easily
>>340629843
I am more inclined to group it with VI/Seven/Celceta as second string. I just didn't enjoy the big ass mazes.
>>340628327
>As for reasons to being midly entertained, there can be none
Well he can reason why it didn't hit the great or the shit mark. You can explain everything you fucking faggot; just sit down and think for one second.
>>340629976
You can just press directional key to ignore lock on anytime. Most people who play through these games don't even know the lock on even exists. It's mostly only useful to be able to dash behind opponent from awkward angles with 100% accuracy with Toal's godspeed
>>340629976
I don't even understand how it's an issue at all, it doesn't make the game clunky at all.
>>340629268
>lock on
Really?
>>340626697
Cool boss battles and music. Gameplay is not deep but fun enough to keep you going. Also difficulty.
>>340630232
>>340630490
I'm not saying lock on in itself is clunky btw, its more that its inclusion suggests that the developers were actually aware the game was clunky because its stuck to more or less the same game systems from the beginning and they expect players to miss the mark or have trouble striking from certain angles
I feel the bosses are too involved for such a system, it's like if Dante wasn't able to move 360 degrees in a DMC game because he hit his head and became retarded but everything else enjoys zooming around freely like a madman and doesn't have 16 directions disease
>>340630881
Well, playing with keyboard pretty much means you're restricted to 8 directions in any case. Obviously if you play with controller this problem does not exist. (It has minor impact on actual gameplay anyway)
Another difference with godspeed lock on versus nonlock on is that lock on version actually stops behind the enemy while non-locked goes further ahead, to it's maximum distance which is often too far. Locked on godspeed serves a different function compared to non-locked. Mind you, lock on with any other skill is pointless.
>>340628215
>so many games have those though
Like what?
>>340626697
You need to be over 18 to post here anon. Stick to your cinematic experiences.
>>340628703
No. You're the contrarian here.
Ys games are fluid and control really well. Boss battles are very well designed. Go suck a dick.
>>340626697
Positives:
>Great action gameplay
>Schumps style dodging of attacks
>RPG
>Simple story that doesn't go up its own ass
>Adol
>Lots of bosses
>Inventory system where every time is hugely important and has immediate visible effects on you
>Distinct combat gameplay that forces you to learn, adapt and confront enemies in varying ways
>Punishingly hard
Negatives:
>Some times no Adol
>I ran out of negatives to add here
It's a good simple game series. The simplicity works to its favor, since the newer additions to the series add more and just fuck up the formula. People that love the Ys series, tend to like RPG mechanics with action combat and that is what Ys delivers in spades. It's the 2D version of dark souls.
>>340628703
What Ys game did you play? Because all you said is wrong and you are being the contrarian faggot
I think I'm the only Ys fan who hates the soundtrack
>>340635369
It's hard to understand someone hating on the soundtrack, but I'm only familiar with Ys 1-4.
I mean if you don't like, say, the Felghana arrangements, that's understandable, but man...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJnhYhL2-fM
>>340630881
>Dark souls is clunky
>Bayonetta is clunky
Lock on is often necessary for action-heavy games that don't involve an aiming reticle.
>>340626697
So you're retarded and don't like action games with great bosses
I get it now
>>340628703
Are you just that bad at games? Ys OiF and Origin have fantastic hitboxes and control, way better than isometric game should have and better than a lot of true 3D games.
Use a keyboard.
Except all the recent Ys threads have been nothing but bitching about the party system.
>>340638582
This.
There's a point where "muh opinions pls get out and find another hugbox" excuse just doesn't work anymore because you have literally become what you bitch about. If you wanna fondle each others dicks screaming all the time about " subjectively bad things = things I don't like" then you head yourself right down to reddit/tumblr and whatever other shithole you scream at other people to go to. Clearly its more suited to you people right now.
We get it, you don't like thing. Now fuck off to your bitching hugbox.
>Ys Origins
>Unskipable 30 minute opening cutscenes
>30 minutes of gameplay into a crappy boss battle
>No save points
When does this game get playable?
>>340639681
There's save points before every boss. Do you really need a save point every room?
Felghana has my favorite boss fights in vidya. The series in general does boss fights really well. That's why I enjoy the series.
>>340640086
Wow that is ripped straight out Zelda.
>>340626697
Because when Nintendo forgot how to make a good Zelda game, Ys figured it out. They're amazingly fun with rewarding gameplay and amazing soundtracks.
>>340639681
when you stop being retarded
there are save points all over the place
>>340640075
>Every room
At least one would be nice, right after the awful fucking opening cinematics filled with shit story i could care less about...
What do these save points look like cuz I fucking missed em. Sat down and played 2 hours of the game without saving
>>340640736
They're blue angel statues. There's one outside before you enter the tower.
>>340640736
>right after the awful fucking opening cinematics filled with shit story i could care less about
There was one in that exact place, you mouth-breathing faggot.
>Trails thread died
>Ys thread pops up
I love you guys
>>340640736
So you started the game, didn't pay attention to the cutscene where they talk about the statue that allows you to save and completely ignored the glowing blue statue that you can clearly interact with
So it's true, there are actual retards on /v/
>>340640086
Galbalan is hands down, the best/most fun boss fight in any game ever.
>>340626697
These aren't games you play for gameplay, /v/ is also not a board which values gameplay. Prepubescent cartoon girls are what half the threads here are about all day everyday
>>340634126
>Inventory system where every time is hugely important and has immediate visible effects on you
Too bad Seven and Celceta made the upgrade system into collectathan where one upgrade is only marginally better than the previous
>>340634126
>he didn't like playing as Yunica
gay as fuck
>>340641068
I absolutely love it.
>All abilities have a purpose in the fight
>Can either use the Ventus bracelet for baby mode dodging the charge attack or use the Terra bracelet with good timing to take no damage against it
>Those speed run strats
>Have to rely on no abilities in specific phases, just regular dodging
>That 10/10 final phase
The only complaints I have about the fight are how sometimes he just doesn't want to let you hit him in phase 1/2 (but it is rare that it lasts long) and there isn't really an instance in the game where you hit projectiles back at an enemy so the final phase might make no sense at first.

>>340642556
>All abilities have a purpose in the fight
You mean less than 50% of the fight.
>>340642773
They still have a purpose instead of being mostly useless. I like having an instance where I have to use the other abilities. It's why I like Death Faleon way more than Chester 2.
>>340642459

>>340642574

>>340642917
>Death Faleon
It's like playing with a traffic light, fuck that boss, and using the exact same spears you saw earlier as an attack looked awful.
You'll be barely a step above death when I'm done with you, asshole
>>340640736
Pretty sure the tutorial guy tells you that you should use the statues
How daft are you?

>>340644598
no fun allowed elitest shitposting with the meme that party system is inherently bad when it's the collectathan, hp spongebosses, and flashguard that detracts from the gameplay and replayibility of Seven and Celceta
>tfw defeating a boss with only 1 HP left
There is no greater feeling

I don't get it.
>>340644974

>>340645025
>Beating a boss but one of his little exploding energy balls kills you while you are getting the item
>>340645062
Some guy who loved Touhou used to post in Ys threads.
>>340645148
It's still pretty retarded. It's not like Ys and Touhou have anything in common other than a red protagonist and having to avoid shiny dots (which you don't even do that much in Ys).
>>340645207
Istersiva second form is so much fun. Fuck first form though. Fuck slippery floor in general
>>340645025
>There is no greater feeling
There is.
When you completely destroy a boss taking no damage because you was skilled enough.
Ys > Zelda
>>340645551
remember the time ys tried to rip zelda off with ys 3 and it was the worst game of the series
I only liked the Turbografix games.
>>340645614
Felghana is such a good example of how to do a remake.
>>340626697
They're fun
>>340645614
Not that Nintendo didn't rip Falcom off first with Zelda itself.
>>340642574
falcom makes good games that rarely sacrifice gameplay for graphics. Of all the devs out there they are actually tolerable.
>>340644949
Oh, so people like it because of nostalgia. Got it.
>>340640086
Felghana was my first YS game, and boy did it kick my ass.
I had to lower the difficulty on multiple boss fights and I was playing on Normal.
But that shit was still pretty damn fun (and comfy since I was playing it on my PSP). Might replay it again.
>>340645547
Okay, you're right
It's the 2nd best feeling
>>340646446
You should definitely play it again. Higher difficulties even change up boss fights.
>>340646436
Whats wrong with nostalgia every once in a while? I'm 30 and I like reliving my youth with video games were simple but fun and didn't take themselves super seriously.
I mean, mid-2000 and recent Ys has subtle lock-on, but it's so easy to wrest control from, with precision, that you hardly even notice. Whether bosses focus on evasion and/or guarding, there's plenty of boss fights in Felghana and Seven that feel both old-school and modern, and that's ignoring dungeons.
>>340642574
I'm going to shill Xanadu Next and there's nothing you can do to oppose us.
>>340645614
I'm not sure which is worse, playing Wanderers (PC-88 or PC Engine) properly or Ys V. The latter's simply a rushed game, Falcom wasn't able to fit in even half of the concepts they had planned for Xandria/Zeibe/Kefin. Mask of the Sun seems worse than either, to say nothing of Taito's PS2 remakes and the Famicom Ys I & II.
Get hype for Ys V's remake, it's gonna be part of the next set of three Ys games (after VIII) with a new game style.
Also, pretty sure both Wanderers and Zelda II were influenced by Dragon Buster, and Falcom already did side-scrollers like Sorcerian before 1989.
>>340645020
Party system's not inherently bad, I agree. That guy in the other thread should stop by and explain specifically why party system's awful. I get preferring the solo style, though, because fighting Galbalan with a party wouldn't feel as lopsided in odds against Adol.
>>340643273
I heard they've recently downsized to 43 employees for the sake of quality/output, too. Falcom's very picky with employees.
>>340642973
pic related
>>340646386
Zelda was more influenced by Hydlide, which developed and released independently of Dragon Slayer the same year.
>>340646436
I played Ys I & II for the first time last year and they where the most fun game I had played in a long time by then
>>340646436
>Oh, so people like it because of nostalgia. Got it.
It's not nostalgia, it's about judging a game in the context of his time, faggot.
>>340646821

Now now. Playing PC-Engine version of Wanders wasn't that bad.
At the very least it had a damn good OST.
Ys V remake when?
>>340629223
haha, holy shit, has this guy played an ys game made in the past two decades?
I see on GOG they have Ys I & II Chronicles+ should I get it even though I have Ys Book 1&2 Turbo Duo version?
>>340647592
its a very enhanced remake
almost different games
I wish I wasn't forced to play as Adol in every game.
>>340647592
Chronicles+ definitely
>>340647848
>Not liking Adol
>>340646971
Obviously. It still has my favorite version of some tracks—
A Premonition Styx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBaQoL7ycNs
Seal of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw1tERqrqnI
Beat of Destruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmF63D5xtIs
>>340647592
Practically a new duo of games, and the canonical default. You won't have the PC Engine CD/Turbo Duo music but the new arrangements kick ass and there's ways to mod Yonemitsu's arrangements back in. The new bump system and bosses are mostly superior, along with a ton of story detail added.
>>340647003
Since Ys remakes come in the middle of each trilogy (Felghana between VI and Origin, Celceta between Seven and VIII), probably after IX and before another original.
>>340647848
That's why we need the story where you play as Geis only.
>>340648027
I love pretty much every version of Beat of Destruction.

I was working on a mod like that, mine even had actual loop points in the tracks.
It got too fucking tedious, though.
>>340647678
>>340647997
>>340648027
Well shit I'll definitely get it then! Speaking of canon >>340648027, what is the order of games?
>>340648904
Ys 1/2 > one of the Ys 4 games > Ys 3/Felghana
>>340648904
Origin -> Ys I -> Ys II -> Ys IV -> Ys III -> Ys V -> Ys VI -> Ys 7
>>340648460
One of the more underrated Ys tracks sadly.
Ys MIDI Collection (probably Roland SC-55): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhXbNZF-1Ls
And the arrangement above's based on, Wanderers from Ys SAV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd0XpGhwoPs
>>340648705
I just wish you could make one for Zwei!! on Windows, but the music files were compressed into one or more huge data packs stored in the game's directory. Sara @ XSEED will figure that out and include the PSP port's arrangements when they localize the game.
>>340648904
Chronological order:
Origin --> I & II --> Celceta (IV) --> Felghana (Wanderers/3/III) --> V --> VIII --> Napishtim (VI) --> Seven
Why do people assume that the next Ys game will completely change the formula?
I know it's been a pattern to have three games with the same gameplay style
(even though I've never understood how comes they include Dawn of Ys as the third bump game while conveniently ignoring Wanderers of Ys and Keffin) but that's still no guarantee that the Ys after Lacrimosa will completely revamp the game or get rid of the party system
It can go either way I dunno but you guys shouldn't set up with the idea that the next Ys will be completely different or it will go Adol solo again
Ys I and II > Celceta > Oath > Ys 5 > Ys 8 (the new one coming out) > Ys 6 >Ys Seven
>>340638582
The party system literally ruined the games it's been in so I'd say it's something worth bitching about
>>340649278
Because Wanderers is..Wanderers and Keffin did so poorly in Japan it scared Falcom into not making an actual Ys game(That wasn't a port) for a very long time.
It does seem the party system is here a bit longer than usual though.
>>340649480
>Not wanting to go on an adventure with Dogi and Geis
>>340627893
If you are criticizing something, then of course you need reasons to be unimpressed.
>>340649278
No guarantee, but a high chance. And if Falcom does keep rehashing Celceta, then I'll be disappointed. I think at some point they'll need to decide a style for Ys that compromises between what the Western and East Asian markets want, which in my mind equals Nayuta. Also, Kefin was the game whose style led to Napishtim's, I can't see the party system working out for an Ys V remake.
My biggest worry is that we'll never get remakes of the later Brandish games a la The Dark Revenant, let alone other small projects Falcom could do if they weren't stuck in the Kiseki loop for maybe a decade and a half coming. Their development schedule/model got wrecked around 2011. I can stomach Ys keeping its blockbuster approach if there's new Brandish/classic Xanadu/Zwei!!-inspired games on the way.
>>340627630
I bet you played oath on normal difficulty.
>>340649694
Maybe if it were a turn based game or something, but AI parties just dont work in real time
>>340650408
This.
It's the same reasons I can't enjoy the Tales games, I just can't stop my teammates from being retard and it's infuriating.
>>340650408
>>340650575
It doesn't need to be turn based, just make the teammates not appear on the screen and you can change between then on the fly like some fighting game.
>>340650941
So basically you want it like how Tokyo Xanadu did it?
You had a party but you could only use one character at a time.
Beat of Destruction trance-style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABxPvMyjWPY

This will be how the Popful Mail remake works, most likely, though not with Toxanadu's unique features.
>>340626697
>MAYBE the music
gave away your hand too soon.
could have just asked for a regular Ys thread without the need for shitposting.
that does remind me though should I play VI for the first time or go back and finish the last fight of my inferno run of oath before moving on to VI?
>>340651083
I dont know how Tokyo Xanadu plays like, but yes. And remove that thing where the enemy are only killable with one type of weapon, that shit is fucking annoying
>tfw new Falcom JDK changed badass guitars to violin
is there a way to unfuck gamepad controls for the PC version of MoC? i can't seem to change them through the config either
if it helps i'm using a PS3 controller
>>340651310
Too much Oath and you'll have it rough going back to Ys VI. Play VI on Catastrophe to get something closer to Oath/Origin, but expect the bosses to disappoint. A lot of the other stuff's comparable in quality, and I'll defend a few bosses (like Orjugan).
>>340651402
Best case, VIII's Break system (works like Stun but for attribute defense) and weaker all-type swords for characters would make this flexible.
>>340651301
Ah Popful Mail sorta did that too. Totally slipped my mind.I'll finish it someday
>>340651402
I don't the weapon system will leave anytime soon.
Still mad celceta didn't have a "Fuck your type" weapon.
>>340651648
Electic guitars in a fantasy game is dumb anyway.
>>340651654
Sometimes the game doesn't pick up any of my controller inputs so I have to restart the computer to fix it. Other than that I also had to switch back and forth from the config to the actual game to see what does what because default controls seem like a mess (I think start was attack or something silly in one case).
>>340651648
No? Masaru Teramae's not in the newest jdk Band (Theta), but I think his guitar work overpowers everything else they did from 2006 through 2014, he's just too fucking virtuoso.
>>340652159
So is too much violin.
Listen to this guy's Sorcerian arrangements, he's great: https://soundcloud.com/venus-az/sorcerian-forever-arranged
More Falcom music needs to sound like Sorcerian.
>>340651850
Definitely finish it. Have you tried Brandish yet?
>>340652491
I tried the Snes version of Brandish
Didn't like it. I did finish the PSP remake though.
>>340651708
thanks for the suggestion. took a break from Ys after playing origin three times in a row and have been meaning to get back at it again.
>>340652472
Yeah, in my case, I have to hold start if I want to use skills which is insanely awkward since Seven had us hold R iirc
The config doesn't even save the changes I try to make
Time to brush up on your history guys.
>>340652601
Good!
>>340653318
Whatever works. I & II Chronicles+ might be a better place to restart if you need something different.
>>340653687
Mark yhe one with english traslation(official or fanmade)
1 and 2 had really nice art direction and story in my opinion. Origins expanded on this and also had really solid gameplay. The other Ys games are not too impressive in my opinion, but I really liked Origins, 1, and 2.

1985 Xanadu's all in English (Revival Xanadu only has Japanese OP/ED), and Xanadu Next's releasing on Steam/GOG this summer (not to forget the existing fan translation).
Drasle Family = Legacy of the Wizard, is playable in either language.
Sorcerian got translated for its inferior MS-DOS version, but the Mega Drive port has a menu translation. Nothing for Sorcerian Forever/Original yet.
Original Legend of Heroes was localized on Turbo-Grafx 16 CD by NEC, but not the second. You could play Bamco's PSP versions of the Gagharv LoH games, but their English translations suck and misrepresent the experience. Trails is currently being handled by XSEED (and Zeromonkey's team's translating Trails to Zero, lol).
Nothing from Lord Monarch's in English yet.
Both Legend of Xanadu games have been translated, but the fan patches still need editing, bug Q/A testing, + fan-dubbing for all the scenes w/o subtitles.

>That Mighty Obstacle
I have to admit I didn't like the original version much but over time it grew on me. Also everything in Ys VI was extremely loud, I felt like I was going to go deaf when that song started playing.
What's the arranged track that sounds like elevator music?
>>340659771
I have no idea but I am going to go out on a limb here and guess you are referring to Oboro.

Also I guess it would help if I posted it.

Elevator music would be lucky to sound this good.
Here's what he's really thinking of (aka the Sorcerian bossa nova ballad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvwxPNS5gXg

God I fucking love Hugo. I just love when a protag starts talking shit to everyone.
He didn't even give a fuck about that one sorcerer girl. He went tribal and never looked back.
Best game, best OST:

Do you happen to know other characters that talk shit?
Most MCs are pussies with no confidence in their skills whatsoever

Ryudo from Grandia 2.
>>340660434
>>340660208
I dunno, I vaguely remember it being from Ys 3 or 5, and arranged in the 90s.
>>340634126
good summary, but you forgot the great art style and music to go along with the game
>>340650408
You actually expected the AI to do something? I set them to passive and just switched between characters to extend combos and juggles and had a lot of fun.
>>340647848
You want to play Origin, Seven, and Celceta then.

>unending praise
This is a very niche series in the west and is frequently viewed as mediocre as it barely gets scores of 80 by various review outlets.
>Shoddy graphics and UI
They're serviceable and functional respectively. Hardly a negative for a game if its gameplay is fun
>extremely basic gameplay and RPG elements
This series is one of the first that pioneered the action rpg genre and its ability to provide challenge with such simplicity is its charm.
> does little to stand out
As for something to stand out, I'd say the way it combines a shoot 'em up and bullethell style enemy attack system with a melee oriented combat system is something pretty unique to the series.
>>340667003
I honestly just want an origins style game with multiple key series characters playing through their own storyline. Thhat would be ideal to me.
I like adol but i do think its a little boring to force you to play as him in every game that is solo.
