It's shit. I only played before that patch, but the combat is repetitive and dull, and the music is like jabbing needles into your ears for 50 hours or so. One of the most overrated games of all time.
Save yourself.
Save yourself.
I'm enjoying it 20 hours in, but yeah over time it's starting to lose it's luster, starting to feel repeptitive in combat.
If I stop now I feel that I got my money's worth in the game.

Should I start on normal or hard? I*m a pretty seasoned RPG player but as I said unfamiliar with Ys.
If you're familiar with ARPGs in general, I don't think Hard would be a pushover. Normal is pretty mindless hacking in my experience, as enemies don't pose a real problem.

It's my 1st Y's game and I like it. It's hack and slash where you alternate between 3 characters on the fly like for paper, rock scissors type attacks e.g. enemy types are either weak to slash, pierce or smash.
I enjoyed it more than XC2. Slick fast responsive and no nonsense combat that doesn't have 5848586 systems to learn with a cluttered UI.
Yes. Even though the Switch version does have some performance drops it never reaches a point of unplayable. PS4 version may be the superior version in terms of visual fidelity and performance, but the Switch version with the convenience of handheld play, which appears to be your interest, is perfectly acceptable and highly enjoyable. Go for it.
I know right?
YS 2 biggest issue is that the inclusion of the fireball completely changes the balance of the game, to the point that some enemies are way too hard to kill without it but is also incredible slow to do.
Meanwhile since YS 1 solely revolves around the bump combat, is more fast paced
Lol... Good luck, I doubt you'll make it! It's punishing on nightmare, but fair and difficult in Hard!
I'm playing on Switch and despite the weird shimmer (I assume due to scaling resolution) and it running 30fps vs 60fps, it has not hampered my enjoyment one bit. I much prefer the portability, playing on the bed, couch, yard, (toilet) wherever.
With you 100%. It's okay if something isn't for you, but the music and gameplay are definitely of very good quality.

I've been waiting for it to be on sale, but I'm good since I'm playing Oath in Felghana for the first time. It's a bit hard but fun. Great soundtrack too!
Yup I'm on the same boat, specially when its about the music.... I mean I don't even know what to say. OP have fun with the game, best 100 hours I've spent on a game since MHW.

It's a Ys party based game that I actually finished, so it is freakishly good.
Finally justified the concept.
It ran perfectly for me after the last couple patches. I do have a powerful PC so not sure if I'm just brute forcing certain things.

My main issue was that they separated the endings. To get the good ending you have to do some sidequests to increase your rank and also find all castaways. I had no problem with sidequests, but I failed to find 3 castaways and got the normal ending. I spent hours searching everywhere on the map but problem was that as the story progressed game was locking you out of the map and you could not venture elsewhere with the newly gained abilities. Same for Dana's story. That island was very confusing to navigate and look for castaways.
I prefered Tokyo Xanadu story, where the real ending was in a lengthy extra chapter, after completing the main game.
I'll play Celcetta when it releases

This issues you mention have all been patched out. According to staff I've talked to and internal testing it's smooth sailing if you've updated your drivers to latest version.
Nightmare is very doable.
Just need to learn how to approach bosses.

This is a blasphemous travesty that has no place in this reality.
I'm.going to blame 30 fps on the Switch version as the reason why I am so inconsistent in dodges and guards in this game... Feels super great when you do get them though!
Yeah they fixed everything you mentioned and more most things you read where probably from the release they improved the game a lot since then, port is top notch now and by far the best version out atm be sure to get the
High Quality Music mod https://www.nexusmods.com/ysviii/mods/1 it replaces the low quality music files, with higher quality ones from the ost since the ones included are a bit low quality but that's also true for the console releases.

It's fucking amazing. They nailed everything they went for. The exploration is top notch and the combat is immensely satisfying. There's even some minor base building à la Suikoden ffs. The bar is really high for Ys 9. Long live Falcom!
