Don't we all.

I just really do not like the party system at all. now to be entirely fair, I was going "chronologically" so it's fucking celceta and maybe that's the real problem, but idk. I miss the fast solo action of the ark engine

The most fucked up thing about modern Ys is that if you describe old ark and bump games like "swordsman goes fast, has a fireball button and an elemental spin attack button" makes it for an incredibly generic description yet there is fuck all like it nowadays despite that, even among indie games you don't see anyone trying to copy old Ys like they copy other older stuff.
And even then, Party Ys still stands high among its competitors, modern Tales, Relink, Mana all have clearly higher budget but still feel so much worse to play, shit makes no sense to me.

check out Angeline Era, it's got bump combat
it's not out yet but I thought the demo was pretty cool

>>716155983
I miss Ys being fast. You could deal tons of damage to a boss, but it could also kill you quickly, and the entire fight would last just a few minutes, even on Nightmare. You could deal a ton of damage to a boss once you got good. Then in the party games it's just skill spamming and even the most powerful skills will take off a microscopic chunk of health.

Ys is true soul.

PC Engine era Ys was peak
Oath/Origins/Ark was also good
Party-based modern Ys I don't like but I did enjoy Dana for some reason maybe it was just the island thing

Sex with that elf girl.

I have only played Oath and Origins and it feels like an entire genre of kino was stolen from me by the partyslop era. The closest i've come to feeling a fraction of what I felt playing Oath for the first time was trying Xanadu Next and Astlibra.

Bump combat is fun, but the first Ys has trash bosses

Karja supremacy

>>716155869 (OP)
Man, this game was my sexual awakening as a kid. The blacksmith would be my most shameful fap if there was anything to be ashamed about.

>>716155983
i played Ys 1& 2 after palying the whole series and is amazing how good the games are even after all this years

>>716162936
It's amazingly sad how the series went to shit after Adol lost his signature armor.

>>716155869 (OP)
the only game i liked from the ark system was Origins, 4 was oks and 6 feled like a test for the motor, i very much preefer the bump system or party system

>>716162861
There isn't a blacksmith in VI

>>716163018
between you an me i only use the armor for the final boss

>>716163193
I meant pic related. It's been ages, man.

>>716155983
Ys II was awesome.

>>716159298

It looks like they designed an anime girl first and then got "consulted" into redesigning into a zesty nigga kek

Adol the flaming fucking faggot homo goddamn I hate that piece of shit.

>>716155869 (OP)
Falcom lost any soul they had left when they went full 3d

>>716155869 (OP)
bumpe

>>716155869 (OP)
i still love their current games but i also miss another pure dungeon crawler like xanadu next or brandish tdr

>>716155869 (OP)
I miss the visuals but not really the combat.

>>716155869 (OP)
Kusoge slop

>>716169885
Did she help recover health or not? It's been a while. They really need to treat the sequels the same way as TDR.

I'm currently playing Ys 6 and it's pretty fun. I like how there's movement tech with the long jump thing even though it's implementation is pretty shit and the jumps are frustrating.
I liked 1 and 2 but hated how much of a labyrinth 2 felt like, had to play with a guide.

Are the modern Ys games good? They seem to have great reviews but they kind of look soulless. I'm really looking forward to playing the others games in the ark engine, it has SOUL

>>716174407
They are different but I like them. Then again 7 is one of my favorite when everyone hates it.

>>716174407
no they are REALLY bad, stay with the old games only, the new oens are trash /s

>>716174407
>Are the modern Ys games good?
Opinions are pretty varied on this. Most old fans hate the direction it went, but Ys VIII did really well and introduced a bunch of new people to the series who like the modern system. I'd say give VIII a shot and if it doesn't grab you then you can ignore everything after Origin.

>>716174713
I don't think enough people have even played 7 to say they hate it
