So... is Erebonia Germany or Russia? And Crossbell is... Australia? Liberl... England?

Endorph posted:we can always count on you junpei ...I can't tell if this is a sarcastic backhanded complement or genuine praise. In other news, the lyrics to (what I'm guessing is the OP) the song in the demo movie seem pretty dark, what with lyrics like "Despair is a sweet drug" and "Give into the madness". I'm placing a hesitant guess in that this means CS 3 will have a darker tone.

Endorph posted:to be fair the cs2 lyrics were pretty dark too Fair point, but even then, it had lines like (paraphrasing slightly) "No matter how soundly I’m defeated or if I fall to my knees, Until the moment I fulfill my promise, I’ll just keep on fighting".

By the way, I remember reading about something in the Japanese versions of the games. Apparently, in those versions, certain words have a switch on the dual character reading that Japanese usually has: Kanji on top, katakana on bottom, rather than the other way around. Can anyone clarify if this is true? I think the example given was the incantations for Vita's spells, but I think archaisms's names are also subject to it.

I have Rean use Force + True Gladiator Belt + TG Headband so he can absolutely SPAM SI'd TS:D's . Overdrive optional.

So, minimal Slash/Strike/Pierce theory for Ys 9 Slash: Adol, Doll Strike: White Cat, Raging Bull Pierce: Hawk/Renegade I could be wrong, but that's what my gut is telling me.

So, uh, unrelated to all this Cold Steel discourse, I'm playing through Ys Origin, and I just finished Hugo's route (Yunica's is done), and am about to start Toal's, and I'd just like a confirmation on something So, that demon seed in Hugo giving the whole Fact family from then on is the reason why Dark Fact in Ys 1 is evil and demonic and Keith Fact in Ys 2 looks so demonic?

If trying to ship Joshua and Estelle is Liberl's national pastime, and getting into Rean's pants is Erebonia's, what's Crossbell's national pastime?

You know what I'm really excited for? Ever since Ys 9 started using motion capture, and with us seeing some Hajimari cutscenes, I'm so glad that cutscenes are getting 100% less stilted now.

Of note in that Hajimari OP: It's not fully just 3D animation. Falcom finally started using motion capture, which means their animation is going to take a massive leap now that they can have actual people acting out scenes and using facial expressions and stuff.

I've heard it echoed in other Ys-based places, so I'd figure I ask it here: Do you consider the Valestein Castle music to be the best piece of music in all of the Ys series?

Out of curiosity, how well do you think Falcom handles the casts of the party-based Ys games (that is, Seven, Celceta and Lacrimosa) in terms of making sure everyone has screentime and plot relevance and intra-character dynamics?
|
# ¿ Sep 26, 2020 02:26 |

that is a fair point. Adol and Dogi aside, the only times I can remember characters returning off the top of my head is A. the cast of Ys 1 showing up near the end of Ys 2 B. Geis showing up in Seven

I mean we know the broad outline of the plan is to get all 7 of the Sept-Terrions. For me, at least, the logical assumption is that they all have some extra function when combined together, and they plan to use all of the Sept-Terrions to (rule the continent/save the world from their equivalent of Satan/stop an alien invasion/kill Aidos and replace her)

people the reason why they nerfed Orders at least early on was becau- BREAK THROUGH! SLEDGE HAMMER! BREAK THROUGH! SLEDGE HAMMER! BREAK THROUGH! SLEDGE HAMMER! BREAK THROUGH! SLEDGE HAMMER ...was because the above was the strategy that got spammed in CS3.

Motto posted:Bracers are cops, the soldiers of the literal empire are, well, ???????????/ The Cold Steel games go out of their way to say that the wars (both the civil one in 2 and the one being prepared for in 4) are bad? Like, Rean and co are trying to stop it from becoming too bad in 2 by saving people and trying to cool things down, and the goal in 4 is to stop it from happening?

Idkbutlike2 posted:The thing is, for a single ten second clip, you can make it as fancy as you want because there's hardly anything to render. Like, here's a screenshot from a game from 2008 that looks about on par with that. Well, motion capture is going to help cutscenes look more natural, at least. Ys 9's already looks a lot better than 8's in terms of blocking a scene and character animation.

Reasons why Rean is likable: 1. Funny, witty 2. Strong, but non-threatening, not aggressive 3. Polite and kind 4. Treats people with respect, but not afraid to call people out on their poo poo
