PSA: Do not download the Ys VIII Switch DLC before the Day 1 Patch

NISA continues to find new ways to fuck this game up

Lmao wtf NISA

Again ? NISA should have never touch a Y's game again, I'm still mad Xseed lost that contract.....

I cancelled my preorder on this one, going to wait for the kinks to get ironed out.

Source of the matter comes from the NintendoSwitch reddit.

According to the OP, he cleared everything, updated the game and it began to work again. Unfortunately for some who downloaded the game and DLC at once, they cannot seem to get it fixed using the same method.

So the PC version is buggy, the Switch version is currently buggy...can I play the PS4 version without incident? Lol.

I got the game early and downloaded the dlc. What can I do to save my save file? This is ridiculous.

Y's? More like N's.

I played it earlier in the year, didn't have any issues other than the dialogue sounding... Odd.

Wait for them to patch it, or uninstall completely. With how they seem to be scheduling things, the fix probably wouldn't come until patch 4.

Unfortunately right now you'll have to delete everything and reinstall the game with the patch, followed by the DLC.

Can't I just skip the update and keep playing until they fix this?

There are reports that the pre updated version does not come with the translation patch. Not sure if that is true or not, but this is the screen ive been seeing float around all day.

L's would be more accurate. The localization mess, the bugs, etc.

Pixelbuster said:

You could but honestly you're better off waiting until they patch it.



PS4 version is the best version so I'd go for that

Ugh thanks. Was looking forward to playing some more tonight. Guess not

I hate NISA. I've always been sour about them since the bugs they introduced to Ar Tonelico 2 on PS2 and I can't believe how terrible they still are.

Literally unplayable.

...I don't get to say that often.

stop NISA

please stop

$60 that's just ridiculous should just delay the game more.

Awww yea I love game crashes

Thanks OP was going to buy it soon will be careful. Is the game up for preload in EU?

Yep, happened to me earlier. Had to delete the data and reinsert the cartridge and it was fine.

I wasn't aware this game has a history of issues...

Glorious bastards.

PS4 game is all good right? Localization script fixed? Been holding off for it to get patched up but never kept up with news on that version.

Jesus.

I really wanted to support this port, but not like this. Only time I actually went through with the preorder canceled meme.

NISA gonna NISA

Update for everyone concerned: we are aware of the issue and working with Nintendo to solve immediately. For now we've taken down the DLC from the store to prevent anyone who could encounter this issue. If you get the error message, please remove the cart, delete the local data via Manage Software and reinstall without downloading the DLC. The main title and patches are not affected.

This should have no effect on Save Data.

I haven't been keeping up with this game 100% but when I see something about it it's a terrible bug or translation issues.
EDIT: At least devs are responding, nice!

Nvm

Thank you for responding!

On the one hand, it's unbelievable how poorly this game has been handled.

On the other hand, props to NIS for diligently working to fix everything (hopefully all the way) despite all the vitriol. It's a far better look than how Square has handled Nier Automata's PC port.

Still...with all of these constant stumbles, it's hard to keep good will towards NIS.

What props? They don't even have all the PS4 localization fixes on the cart, game crashes on DLC, patch schedule a month in advance, PC version is still broken, they had to re-localize the game essentially.

That's not props but rather I really hope they don't touch any other Falcom game ever (false hope, I know). There is no "props" here of any sort.

The gift that keeps on going. Just when you think the well runs dry, NISA finds a way.

Patches aren't instant. I'd rather they get it right with the first few patches rather than do a billion bandaids. And like I said, things like this have me questioning the quality of the patches and whether this game will ever actually be worth my time and money on PC or Switch.

Secondly, while I respect that NIS is being transparent and responsive to people's complaints, if you asked me if they should be allowed to handle future Falcom games my answer would 100% be no. I would be more than a little upset if any Trails games were pulled from XSEED's hands!

I popped in the cart, downloaded the Update, and started playing no problems.

I wasn't even aware there was Day 1 DLC...?

Feel like this is uncharacteristic of nintendo to allow such an unpolished literally broken game release. They should penalize nisa and falcom in some way.

It's mind blowing to me that they didn't go the extra mile to ensure that the Switch version would launch without any issues.

Sigh.


Guess I'll be playing without DLC since I didn't download that yet.

You would think that they would have taken extra care to make sure that none of this would happen, I mean the DLC and everything is not new, so it's not like they were waiting on Falcom to get the DLC. I am one of those that was scared during E3 that NISA would announce they are localizing CS3. I hope that XSEED is still going to do it. The only downside that I can see happening from NISA not doing CS3 would be no N/S port since Falcom operates on a very fixed budget, and XSEED don't "do" console ports, when they do PC ports they usually get some outside help like Durante to do the PC ports (I'm glad that XSEED is keeping the Falcom PC DRM free legacy alive). I guess has rather limited funding so making a PC port and then releasing it is rather affordable and getting an outside team to do a N/S port might just cost them too much.


I guess companies will keep choosing NISA since they do have more resources, enough to were they have a CE for pretty much every game that they release type of thing. Maybe their QA department needs to see some improvement? Are any of these issues(bugs) found in the Japanese release that NIS did?

Nisas handling of this game is buggier than hollow knight

I don't think they put that much effort into some of the things that they do since they do have an extended history of issues with games, I mean they even had issues with some of NIS' own titles (I think it was that one Witch game for PS3)

Why is NISA so bad at this?

Like, has there ever been an explanation?

Whelp was planning to get it but unless the patch comes before octo path traveler I am skipping this game

The game doesn't have a history of issues. The localization does. The game is wonderful and is one of my 2 favorite YS games.
