I was burnt out on 8 by the time I beat it on Vita. I can't imagine having the extra 2-3hrs of the female-chick dungeon stuff on top of all of that.

Useless "head start" dlc that came with the preorder.

>>717931583
It's a pretty fun gameplay-heavy distraction from the main story.

This track is so fucking good, holy shit.
It's hard to explain but it feels like it is literally perfect (thematically) for the bosses you fight when it plays, and it complements the fights themselves too.

You're too retarded to breed. castrate yourself.

>>717932440
It's full of leitmotifs you keep hearing throughout the game so yeah

soft n' cushy karja

these little shits are so overpriced

>>717933845
that's why you only buy one to send a message. i love karja

How to design a female counterpart character
>Step 1: give blonde hair

>>717925950
neither made me look up a guide but Ys 2 definitely felt more complicated to navigate through

>>717929031
Better resolution (everything is native 4K, including menus), depth of field, frame rate (up to 120) and loading times.
The faces of the characters from VIII are different on the PS5 version. I think they look worse.

>>717931191
Don't forget about Xanadu Next, Brandish, Zwei, and Gurumin.

>>717921215 (OP)
I recall there was actually a point in the game where the map and quest indicators were straight up lying to you, and you had to go somewhere else first. I forget what and when now though.

>>717934352
wrong tab

>>717935364
i haven't forgot I own them all, I'm being filtered by 30fps caps for some of them. Im gonna play gurumin on my 3ds

This was my first Ys game and I don't remember ever getting lost once. Maybe once in one of the Dana parts actually I couldn't figure out how to trigger a cutscene and it was because I kept going around it on accident.

>Using a mix of clear and distinct landmarks you've been staring at for the entire game and areas distilled down to representations of it to give a visual map of your adventure up to this point as you climb up the mountain

God damn I fucking love it.

No position, no thinking, just parry slop.
They killed Ys with Seven.

Autism at it's finest.

>>717940075
>perfect guard everything
Not as mindless as you make it out to be.
You also have to actually attack at some point.

All I can picture is some guy spamming the flash guard button over and over and getting frustrated with the game and eventually dropping it after game overing to Alvodragil
It'd be even worse in Seven where bosses are HP tanks and you get punished for whiffing perfect guard

>>717940075
>playing defensively
Soulscuck mindset. Try growing some balls

>>717921215 (OP)
that's a low IQ problem buddy.

>>717940724
7 doesn't even explain the flash guard mechanic anywhere, that game wasn't designed around it.

>>717941117
It's right there in the control settings though. Good luck damaging the bosses without flash guard.

>>717926104

>he didn't play the superior DS version with the map
kek

>>717941117
The bird bosses whirlwind attack forces flash guards. Thats like the only one though

>>717941179
I don't think the PSP version had control settings.
I beat 7 without knowing flash guards existed.

>>717922091
You bought pokemon ruby and emerald didn't you?

>>717941254
On what difficulty? Without the flash guard crits the bosses are extremely grindy on Nightmare or whatever the hardest one is.

>>717941371
I don't remember, either Hard or Nightmare
But I do remember the bosses being super grindy, they were definitely balanced around 3 healthbars and healing items.

>>717940724
I like that they are HP tanks and heals are limited. It makes you learn the boss.
YS 8 just lets you farm 5000 coconuts and ignore any danger.
Limited heals is the right blend of old YS and party YS. YS 7 is a masterpiece

>>717941541
They were balanced around flash guard + limit break or whatever anon. It takes care of that last 25% of their health.

>>717921215 (OP)
How are you getting lost in ys 8 isn’t it pretty linear

>>717923959
The narrative claiming that this quote is misattributed to Adol is quite compelling, as many records clearly show that Adol would only communicate by shouting the names of his attacks and grunting in Bryce Papenbrook

>>717940075
It's an offensive type of parry slop, you want to actively get into the attack hitboxes to get those 3 or so seconds of iframes so you can go on the offensive. It's still braindead but at least it was a fresh take on the system.

>>717942391
I don't mind the parry but I hated the slowdown dodge. I generally hate slowdown in action games, it's a pet peeve. But X introducing attacks you couldn't parry was a nice thing. Until they butchered it a bit and made you just press another button with little positioning in mind. What they should have done is make those unparry-able attacks be dodged through good positioning including jumping.

>>717940075
your fault for looking up a guide for seven, noob
the game never tells you about the parry
>No position, no thinking, just parry slop
confirmed for never actually playing the game

The only good YS games are Origin and Oath in Felgana

>>717933921
She's great but her being retconned as the real reason Adol went to the north pole is gay

Every Ys game ranges from very good to excellent
*haven't played the non pc games but I assume they're good because every falcom game is good

Thoughts on Little Paro?

>>717948681
It does a good job giving BATTLE REPORTs

at least you can explore and learn the world more.

Fuck ark engine games. Stats and level ups are so mandatory they entirely miss the point of an RPG. They should have been pure action with better enemy design instead of being some faux diablo game to pad the length for the only thing with any thoughtful design, the boss fights. Ark engine games are 85% SAWDUST topped off by a good boss

Yunica a cute.

God I fucking miss playing Ys, especially Ys 9 for the first time.

>>717961467
Maybe 9 should've reviewed worse so we'd get an updated rerelease that makes Aprillis playable

>>717921215 (OP)
Doesn't this game give you a dotted line to your objective?

>>717923959
We all know it was actually Dogi who said that.

I have never played a Ys game before, but 99% of people who blame the game when they get lost are just facing a serious case of skill issue.

>>717968043
If you get lost in Solomon Shrine you can safely blame the game because that's the point. Ys 2 is probably 40% maze

I've had Origins in my library forever but still haven't played it.

I've never played the bump combat Ys games, are they good?
The concept sounds kind of shit desu but maybe I'm missing something.

>>717961110
it would be in your best interest

>>717921215 (OP)
one of the most overrated jrpgs ever made

>>717969423
>85 on Metacritic
It is underrated actually, it deserves a 90

>>717969348
They're great. Play Ys Chronicles 1&2, and Dawn of Ys.

>>717972253
Very well.
I strongly suspect I will get filtered but I'm still very curious about them, and they are often like 2 dollars on GOG so I might as well.

>>717969020
I just started this today for the first time and I've had it since 2013. It's pretty fun but I do not have 3 back to back playthroughs in me. I might finish the route I am on then play something else and alternate

>>717921215 (OP)
How the fuck do you get lost in this game?
