No worries, we had a discussion the Avenger's review thread in September and I went down the rabbit hole. Even the beginning of the Ys review is word for word the product description.
One of the earliest scenes in Ys 8 introduces a female character accidentally dropping her towel so Adol sees her naked and then she screams and stomps off and stays irrationally mad at him for a significant portion of the game. Every female character is also very questionably dressed (especially compared to the male ones).Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is Ys a series with fan service type elements or no? Just not my jam.
Right on. I'll wait until P5 Strikers for my action RPG fix.FWIW, the Ys games go on sale quicker and more often than the Atelier games. This seems like a safe one to wait on
Though I really love Falcom's games this sums them up generally now days.but Ys games have become increasingly sketchier with times with the way women and girls are portrayed.
This seems like a pretty massive leap to make for a publisher that's notorious for similar fuck ups.Hey, I just want to clarify something here;
When bugs like this get added in localization? That's not the localization company's fault, that's the original JP dev, who are in charge of implementing the localization. NISA might be to blame for not catching the bug themselves, but considering the low stock of PS5 consoles - and the fact that Sony just didn't get them review code until a little more than a week before embargo lifted - I'm more inclined to blame Sony here. If NISA doesn't have a devkit, they can't check for bugs with PS5 BC until they get retail code from Sony.
It's a bad situation, it shouldn't have been this way, but it's more complicated than folks like to make it out to be.
It's a good thing the Ys series are Action RPGs then, huh?Thanks all for the info on the series. Turn-based isn't my thing generally unless timing-based action commands are involved like in Mario RPGs or UnderHero. How do the early games with bump combat hold up? Or the DS remake?

That towel scene was so stupid and unneeded. Shame really as the rest of YsVIII was an absolute blast. (Dana's costume was also terrible even if I love her character)
Trails of Cold Steel 1, 2, 3 and 4 all run at 4k60 on the PS4 Pro and PS5, so I'm kinda baffled this game runs at only 1080p60 maximum. It's the same engine, surely?

Holy shit, I always assumed CS3 and CS4 were running at native 4k cos they look so razor sharp on my OLED. Kinda says a lot really.No, and seems like Ys IX is harder to run.
From the PS5 backwards compatibility thread:
Quite a bummer, the image quality at 1080p really isn't good. :/ but oh well
I think that description really undersells it from what I've read in previews.

You know that you sold me on trails of cold steel? damn i have to buy all of them ! always wanted to buy them but didn't know how they run on ps5 hahaTrails of Cold Steel 1, 2, 3 and 4 all run at 4k60 on the PS4 Pro and PS5, so I'm kinda baffled this game runs at only 1080p60 maximum.

Musou pretty much are ARPGs.
FWIW, the Ys games go on sale quicker and more often than the Atelier games. This seems like a safe one to wait on
This is not true in the US if you want physical version. Ys VIII ended up becoming a rare game.

And yeah, 1080p kinda sucks :/
I haven't bought a physical non-Nintendo game in nearly three years so I'm good there lol.This is not true in the US if you want physical version. Ys VIII ended up becoming a rare game.

I really hated YS VIII (too bloated, terrible story, bad combat), but loved Oath in Felghana and Origin. Any chance this is better than YS VIII?

Ys VIII
It was apparently added in the localized version. Let's hope they fix this shit quickly.

Actually from my time with the Ys IX demo, movement feels far more fun and therefore combat is more fun as wellIX has all the things you disliked in VIII so I doubt you'll be happy.

And I've heard only positive things about IX's story but then again maybe I should take those opinions with a grain of salt bc I'm not a modern Falcom fan
Did you play through the entire game? Last week I got to the point where I controlled Dana in some windy valley and I stopped bc I was so exhausted
Like I thought the end of Chapter 2 wasn't gonna be that long but it just dragged on and on and on and on
I'm assuming it doesn't magically change into a much better game
Also why does no one talk about there being just way, way, way, way too many relevant buttons. Take that as a sign to de-bloat ur game

Ys VIII goes on sale often but Memories of Celceta I don't think I've ever seen on sale, at least as of recent.FWIW, the Ys games go on sale quicker and more often than the Atelier games. This seems like a safe one to wait on

The game runs 60 FPS on PS5, but seems like there are a decent amount of crashes
@Owl
From RPG Site.com " I have played most of Ys IX on my PS5 and I crashed at least 10 times throughout my 33-hour playthrough of the game; one of them even shutting my PS5 off entirely".
