I've now beaten all five Ys games on Steam. I want more Ys games on Steam so I can beat them. I love this series. Keep making great games, Falcom, and XSEED, keep localizing them. Are chances not-zero of my ever getting to play Ys IV or Ys VII on Steam? EDIT: Also, to all the people saying "Skip Ys 1 and 2," those games are fantastic. I played them for the first time last year and Ys 2 is one of my favorite games ever now.

As much as I'm sure Falcom likes the direction that their Steam products are going I doubt they are going to put forth the effort to port completely new iterations of Celceta and VII. I do hope that they consider PC as a platform for future titles, though. In the meantime, you should give TitS FC a try if you haven't already. The Hoccer minigame in Gurumin was kind of funny because the game bugged out or something where the ball slipped behind the net while I was ahead and none of the NPCs could get to it, so I just ran out the clock and won.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be actually willing to release a new Ys game on PC first. I'm not holding my breath, but from a business standpoint I'm sure it is making more and more sense to them to go ahead with this idea.

They themselves have admitted that the game sold north of 200,000 copies, data suggests that number is even higher now, it's the best-selling of the Steam Ys titles, and it sits among the upper echelons of Japanese games on Steam in terms of sales in general. The theoretical math suggests that even with sale prices and whatnot, Origin has provided Falcom with upwards of seven figures in revenue. That's spread out over a period of a couple years, but even so, that's huge. That's a fanbase. That's a base you could sell a new game to, and I'm sure they're aware of that. Will it actually happen, I have no idea. But especially given how Yunica and Hugo have been showing up in side media all of a sudden after getting ignored for half a decade or more, I do wonder.

I'd play a game starring Yunica, that would be fantastic. I'd probably be a little hesitant to play a game starring Hugo, though (unless they make him play like Aisha in Ys Seven I guess.) Incidentally, I beat Ys Seven and moved on to Celceta now. I'm having a lot more fun with that game's systems already, but I really need to finalize what my controls are; I keep changing them!

Isn't there a Chinese PC port of Seven? Couldn't they just translate that and release it? (No idea if the port is any good or not, I'm just legitimately curious.)

Every single file in Ys Seven PC is apparently encrypted with DRM which has to be handled every single time they are accessed, it's a mess. You might as well play Ys Seven on your PC with ppsspp, it will probably look nicer anyway.

I wish Celceta would get patched to play on PSTV. I loving love Ys and it's the only one I haven't played. The party based combat of Ys Seven was pretty good for how different it was.

I'd love another game with Yunica, she was more of a character than Adol's ever been. Just so long as it played like Origin, and not like 7/Celceta

While Falcom seems to like the PC game sales in the west, they still don't want any of that stuff in Japan (I'm following the Falcom Twitter, and whenever they mention a Steam sale, they get angry japanese tweets complaining that they aren't selling the japanese versions on steam). The best case would be Japanese console release --> Japanese PC release that's only sold in their webshop and never goes on sale -->English console and simultaneous PC release on steam without japanese text so the japanese need to pay japanese prices. edit: https://twitter.com/nihonfalcom/status/554492366644457472 They claim it's because the japanese version would only sell like 2k units on steam, so they don't even bother.

They do this poo poo with Trails all the time, leave obscure hints in secondary material for people to pick up on later. But seriously, it wouldn't surprise me at all if another Ys Origin offering hasn't at least been discussed internally. Origin's numbers are the sort of thing where you begin to talk seriously about follow-ups for a foreign market exclusively. Tamba posted:Unlikely.

Sadly this is one of those things where they kind of aren't getting the hint that just maybe they'd see more than 2k if they participated in Steam Sales in Japan The long march continues

I do wonder how close together the PSN and PC releases will be though.

Nate is more getting a dig in at my  -ing a while back over Elena getting put into future games as a playable character, I think. (Still maintain there has to be some kind of calculation behind that subtle-but-persistent push of the idea of Elena in a Felghanan knight uniform with the Brave Sword. Like since 2010 almost every single appearance she's made in "new" media has been in that outfit except for like one wallpaper and the loving Line sticker sets, and those are mostly older assets repurposed as big emotes.)

It hasn't even gotten a place on the scroll banner on Falcom's main site or a dedicated site of its own yet. I think it's safe to say Greek Ys isn't coming until at least 2016, though I wouldn't be surprised if we begin to hear more about it at TGS. Tokyo Xanadu seems to be an all-hands-on-deck project for Falcom ATM, but it'll be nearly done by the time TGS rolls around. Certainly we'll hear more about it after September's TX release.

Slur posted:Personal opinion: Celceta is the best game in the franchise. I recommend playing 7 first though, just to see how much they improved upon their initial "party system" concept. I just beat Celceta, it was incredible. I hesitate to say it's my favorite, since I really enjoyed playing as Toal in Ys Origin, but it's right there with it.

Honestly a lot of my experience with Celceta was soured by very lame bosses and an exceptionally lousy plot. There are threads of a great game hiding in there but some points stick out that made me not consider a second playthrough for a while. I don't know between it and Ys 7 I still kinda prefer 7 and it doesn't come close to being as fun as Ys II or Oath. Not saying it's a bad game at all I think it's very good just not really high up there in my favorite Ys entries list. Rates higher than Ys VI but lower than Origin, Ys II and Oath in Felghana. Still beats the poo poo out of Ys V though.

I like Celceta a whole lot but I think it's just too easy to be a favorite Ys title. I do think it's a lot more refined overall than Seven which I have no real desire to ever revisit.

I tried to play Ys 7 but I could not. Character switching was kinda a thing I didn't like, but having to buy equipment for everybody really sucked. And I had no idea what to do with all the crafting and upgrade materials I was getting. Please tell me how to play Ys 7 properly

YsC is getting up there with Ys5 in terms of 'so easy you can just mash your face into the boss until it dies'. Though in YsC you at least have to put a little effort into your gear to make it that way and you actually have to press the attack button as opposed to Ys5 where you literally just let bosses kill themselves by running into you. But mostly I think that's just Karna being busted as gently caress.

Hard. I know that apparently Nightmare is where it actually starts getting interesting, but it was a long game and I haven't really felt like giving it another go since then. I don't actually dislike the game mind you, just don't think it was particularly great. E: Or if you meant Ys5, I just played the default version, not the Hard one.

I'm surprised Falcom hasn't already done a YsV remake, setting aside that apparently awful PS2 one. There's nothing inherently bad about the setting/scenario other than I struggle to think of which party members they could use (obviously I'd prefer a Felghana/Origin approach instead anyway).

My only real complaints with Celceta were the myriad ~5 second pauses (this is especially bad in the final dungeon) and the fact that getting 100% map completion required running against walls. It was a little on the easy side, but that's not a big deal. That's what higher difficulties are for.

Gurumin was OK. The platforming is kind of a special kind of terrible at points and besides the bonus boss it's not particularly difficult. I'm also kind of miffed that NG+ is so pathetic (you still have to get all of the gold medals all over again). I enjoyed playing it overall but I'm glad I got it for free.

They are, but 3 takes place after 4. Technically things are a little weird in Celceta now (mostly some silly stuff involving Galbalan) but Ys IV's ending is supposed to lead into Dogi/Adol leaving for Redmont.
