Ys IX Monstrum Nox coming 2021 (PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
2021 always felt about right to me. I'm surprised they announced it so soon.
FWIW, I did an import review last year, if anyone wants a sneak peek at what to expect: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/9113-ys-ix-monstrum-nox-import-review

I'm guessing the 2021 release date is tied to waiting for the Switch to be ready so they have a simultaneous release... kind of a bummer.
not really. just pointing out weird business decisions. thankfully NISA is there to make it right.
beautiful

Fortunately they've stepped up their game with the new Trails.I know that I shouldn't expect high production values from the studio, but come on now..
At least don't show that in a store page where you're supposed to sell your game on.
I'm in. I'd like to get the Switch port but I'm concerned that it'll run poorly since Ys VIII wasn't what I would call an impressive port from a technical standpoint (couldn't maintain 30 FPS and had general technical issues, mainly game freezes). Might just get the PS4 version to play on PS5.

I'll get this on my Switch or PS5 around that time, since it's not coming to Xbox.
I don't get why it's not. It did get Origins after all.

Kind of funny to see NIS always going all out on Switch but having to (I'm assuming) release their Falcom games later.
You'll have to forgive me, because that key art makes it look like Adol and a bunch of girls, and then the main villain (blonde guy). If blonde guy is playable, there's like a 95% chance he's going to turn traitor on the party before the end of the game based entirely on how he's drawn in every single piece of promotional art in this thread.
Wait, what? "Short Novel"?!
Lol grats if you correctly call it but what a weird thing to be preemptively annoyed by such a specific plot prediction.
Day 1 as any new Ys game, I wonder why NISA didn't push the game for 2020 but I hope this means the game release is far better than Ys VIII was.
With that said, if Ys IX is released in the first half of 2021 I can see NISA releasing Hajimari on October-November, they have a team working in Kiseki games and it seems efficient to continue working in the series now that they are familiar with the lore etc...

Yeah, I was expecting an answer from you.
There is a difference between 'pointing out business decisions' and accusing a developer as dumb in every single thread.
Do we know what will happen with the Switch version?
I played through it on Switch, but it got blurry at times and the areas that were added in the PS4 version had framedrops.
It was still very playable though and I loved the game.
I hope Ys IX will be better.
I find I tend to PLAY games on the switch. Not sure the reason, even 30fps doesn't bother me unless I need it to be a technical showcase.
PS4 pro Ys IX wasn't even able to keep 30 FPS locked. I don't know how Switch port can happen really.
Unless the localization team completely fixes the game, I doubt it. Ys VIII was 60fps on PS4, this is 30fps on PS4/PS4 pro. And running poorly at it.
I did it in japanese and it was a huge disappointement IMO, everything is worse than VIII... aside the music that are still great
At least the performances will be great on PC with durante... the framerate was shit on Ps4...
I'll maybe pick it during a sale on pc

We'll see what happens. I was just generally pretty annoyed by Lacrimosa feeling like "Adol and a bunch of generic anime girls wander around an island while several far cooler and more interesting characters just hang out in town for the whole game doing nothing", so I was hoping that the next game in the series would be a little better than that.
I know that people don't really come to Ys games for deep characters or complex storytelling, so maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. I dunno.
*ding* *ding* *ding* glad more and more people are starting to see it. Really disgusting behavior.
I'm really glad that it's finally been officially announced but I'm real salty that we're getting Cold Steel 4 this year instead of Ys IX.
We got 2 patches in the JP version. Would love it to be even better in NA. It was still playable though.
Mush better than the Japanese one although it's missing the cool behind bars effect.
Youtube trailer's description says PS4 first. So both Switch and PC are after.
I see, bummer. At least it dispels the notion that Switch is holding back release dates XD
The Switch versio is already announced so I guess they will find a way.
That's why asked who is handling it.
If the PC Version is handled by Durante, maybe some of his magic will spill over to the Switch version.
I suspect it will be Engine Software like Trails, Ys 8 was done internally at Nippon Ichi.
