Ys7

[Oravis]

Didn't see anything regarding any of these games around here. So I was wondering if we had any Ys lovers in these forums.
Trailer for the newest one coming to PSP looks hawt.
YouTube - Ys7 demo

Should be coming out in Japan in September. Can only hope Atlus brings it here.

I might be a Ys lover...maybe.

Everyone should play Ys I+II Eternal PC, Ys VI and Oath in Felghana (they're all translated and incredibly good).

That trailer is promising, but it's too bad it's going straight to PSP without a more polished PC version first (yeah, i'm asking too much, i should just be glad it's not a DS game). Loving the music and Adol's new design.
Also, since Atlus USA released those horrible Ys DS remakes, they better bring that shit over here (with a nifty limited edition package !)

[Oravis]

Oath of Felghana was my personal favorite and I just finished VI recently. But apparently Origin is being fan translated and will be done in the next few months as well.

This series is really underrated.

[Darus Grey]

I don't see it as under-rated, it's pretty much exactly where it should be. A niche series with wonky mechanics that only appeal to it's niche.

Haha, I saw the thread title and said "Darus thread"

[Eligor]

It's finally out !
Playing the ISO waiting for my Limited Edition to arrive. It's been a long time since i last got such a "FUCK YEAH" feeling from a game.

Everyone buy this so that XSEED doesn't go bankrupt before they release Sora no Kiseki and Half-Minute Hero 2

[Oravis]

Still waiting on my limited edition to come in. Getting it straight from XSEED themselves for winning a contest that got my name put into the game. So I have no idea when it will be here lol

[Kiarax]

Guess it's time to finally finish this. Was playing it in moonrunes but I stopped a little while in for whatever reason. I'll get crackin' when I'm done with the new Tales game.

My EBgames hasn't received my Limited Edition yet, and my friend who works at an EBGames said he had to call their main office, who presumed the street date was the 31st... So not sure wtf is up with that.

Pretty much man.
I played Ys 6 and idk man, I'm just outside of that niche playerbase... I'll say that much.
And I heard that it was one of the better games up til that point.

I can kinda (sorta) see how some would like it but it just ain't for me at all and I bet most people feel the same.

Ign review is up. Right about the score I thought they'd give it.

[Priran]

from that review:

This is probably my biggest complaint with Ys Seven. After visiting five different dungeons and traveling the world, the game then informs the player that all five dungeons need to be explored again -- just a little more thoroughly. Luckily the developers at Falcom made the second trip feature different dungeon layouts, but it still had the taste of the infamous "backtracking" so many gamers grow weary of.

silly IGN, didn't you hear? gamers love backtracking, that's why FF13 was such a piece of shit

[Charismatic]

I guess you don't know what moderation means.
Not that I'm surprised.

[Kiarax]

You can also warp across the world easily with teleporters... if the dungeons have different designs and it takes no time to get back to them I don't see any problem with it, although I guess it could be considered a little lazy.

[Maguspk]

so this is a tales game rite?

[Darus Grey]

yes

[Charismatic]

lol

[Kiarax]

I am so glad Namco finally decided to localize Tales games again.

[Charismatic]

God, if it were Tales though... I'd sure be a lot happier.
