Where are you from? It's 74.99€ here :(
I'm not subbed to PS+ currently though, but even on psprices it shows up at 74.99€ with PS+
Edit: Welp looks like the discount is only for PS+ subscribers in the US... lame.

No, it's only on PS4 in Japan and there's no PS5 version for the west either.Is there a native ps5 version? After the last pc update, it became the definitive version graphically. This may be the same for this game.
Fast gameplay, fun boss fights, and kick ass music.What do ya'll appreciate about Ys games? I've never played one for some reason.
So the game is up for preorder on the playstation store, but only the more expensive digital deluxe version, which seems to have costumes and items. Meh. And the store page says 2/12/21, despite the end of the demo saying 2/2/21 ?
Weird, now the date is correct, but when I preordered it had a countdown of 38 days.....I think they originally had the release date mistakenly set as the discount end date.Mine says two dates (US): Release of 2/1/2021 (I'm assuming 10pm my time zone), with the pre-order offer ending 2/11/2021 at 10pm so the discount will still be active for about a week after launch.
You're doing the thing! The thing where someone isn't giving you what you want so you assert that it should be easy and ask why they aren't.That sucks.
Every demo should have the save carry over to the full game.
It's kind of ridiculous this isn't the case. It takes a lot of effort on the devs part to make a demo, why wouldn't it be a top priority for them to make the save carry over?

It's kind of like a stage of grief mixed with a tantrum. Lots of people do this, I see it everywhere.
Whoah now. Don't get carried away.Or are we not supposed to criticize or discuss any decisions made by developers on a discussion board about video games?
This seems to not support higher resolutions. Ys VIII did though? Or maybe it's because it's the demo. IIRC, Ys VIII demo was also 1080p but retail had Pro Support.
Seems like Ys 8 with extra mobility options which is right up my ally since I loved Ys 8. Day one.
Well, Ys VIII is a Vita game ported to PS4. Ys IX is a native PS4 game that can't maintain a solid 60FPS on Pro even so they probably didn't want to push higher resolutions than 1080p.This seems to not support higher resolutions.

But does Ys IX has the same problem with area transitions as VIII? I mean, when you play it on a home console/PC the most glaring Vita "legacy" is that even small areas have lots of loading transitions, which makes the exploration feel less rewarding.It's a damn shame, because Ys VIII actually looked hella impressive for the Vita. Falcom just have struggled jumping up to home console development, it feels like.

Fair enough. I'm sure it'll still be a fun romp. Maybe pick up the PC version later on down the road.Ys IX just doesn't support higher resolutions, period. Still was very, very fuzzy when I did my replay on my PS5 on my 4k setup.
Eh, I get it, but VIII was also greatly enhanced for PS4. It's not a technical marvel by any stretch (so it should be able to do both). It's fine, less than ideal, but fine.Well, Ys VIII is a Vita game ported to PS4.

I like demo to full game too. But I'm not sure it works here, especially with an Ys game.I am saying that it isn't easy to make a demo, you need to invest a lot of time and resources into creating what is essentially a new product.
I just don't understand why developers would take the time and effort to do this but not make an extremely appealing and easy way to transition from the demo into paying them money to continue in the full game.
I think that is a legitimate point to make, isn't it? Or are we not supposed to criticize or discuss any decisions made by developers on a discussion board about video games?
Just feels like more VIII and I've had more than my fill of that brand of Ys.

You can turn the auto-target off in the menu, iirc.Feels pretty good but after you kill an enemy it targets the closest next enemy even if you cleared a room and the next enemy is far away. Then there are like 10 arrows pointing to a bunch of other enemies that are far away. It just feels like a bit much at first but I might be able to get used to it.
If the pc update of Ys8 is anything to go by it should be the version people aim for if they can.It looks very bad on PS5. The resolution/aliasing is very bad on my 4K TV. I can almost not make out any detail in the characters. No PS5 version expected? Will grab on Steam.
Gameplay / music / UI is good though.
(Other than the inverted vertical camera as default.)
I actually felt it looks decent for a Falcom game. I don't think the demo fully does it justice, played a bit and it has the typical action rpg combat. Will leave the demo there and play the full game when it's released.
Already played through the JP version and it's a lot of fun!
I prefer VIII overall, but IX is still really good.
What difficulty did you play it on? The difficulty options in this game are a bit overwhelming to choose from.
OMG yeah. This drove me nuts at first. I thought I was accidentally locking on to something on a lower floor or something, and was wondering why I couldn't pan the camera up... and they have the nerve to mark this as the default too! Criminal.
Nightmare is very manageable. Beat it on that on jp release. Some fights took a bunch of deaths to figure out but most of the time it's figuring out a gimmick or it's because you get too greedy that you'll die.I found it fairly easy on Hard, but over the top difficult on the next one (Inferno, I guess?). Also, the 10min limit for the demo is ridiculous, just... give us a single full area with a boss or two and let us play at our own pace? lol. I just ended up blitzing through the level to get to the bosses, which is silly.
Wondering if I should get it for PS5 or PC. Is the PC version coming out at the same time?
