me replaying ys 7: well im halfway done, better check to see if i missed any ques- wait what do you mean "pc release trailer"

what do you mean "its been out for months"

and that's the story of how I stopped playing ys 7 halfway through to play ys 7 a second time

:same:

I was playing it nonstop on Vita until last week, when I got to the Well of Souls and the grinds for the elixir quest & ultimate weapons looked like too steep and dull a hill for me to climb

now I'm considering rebuying it on Steam because I am a consumer whore

The grind for ultimate weapons is legit there just for you to level grind without realizing it, only Adol’s is noteworthy because it gives him all three Attack attributes. Chances are that if you make two then you’re just strong enough to beat the game.

my first play-through I only made Adol's and got through just fine :shrug: making 1 or 2 will get you strong enough easily yeah(though I tend to end up overleveled anyway because I do a ton of loving around)

also man I like Celceta but I really wish it kept 7's style of bosses, I love the weird janky mix between 3D action game and ridiculous bullet hell

Man, the further into Tokyo Xanadu I get, the more editing problems with the localization I spot. Like, seriously, I'm not even trying very hard. So far my count is about 13 distinct errors going into early chapter 4, and I'm including all the different ways they chose to localize the "God's App".

The after story has some of those everyone-chimes-in scenes where things just don't flow at all. It also seems to be fond of quoting "keywords", and keeping the whole vague "that one time" or "that person" thing even in cases where the specific thing is obvious from context.

So it was pretty clearly established in Trails 1 and 2 that Estelle is the strongest. But now that I've completed a certain moon door in 3rd I realize that Estelle was at her strongest when she was but a tiny child. God drat she was unstoppable. :3:

My favourite is how they use quotes round random words like "Explanation" and "Question" for no discernable reason. Anyways, it's still far better than Persona 5, that game was borderline incomprehensible at times.

The game is actually turning into one of my favourite games of the year though, I really dig the Action/JRPG combo. I've played things like the Tales games, but their combat always feels very button mashy, and having 3 AI compansions running round everywhere makes the battles feel really chaotic and confused. The combat in this game is much more refined, it feels weighty, and it has a good balance of "Spam attack to kill" and "Dodge, Strike, Dodge" fighting.

If Ys 8 is even better, then I'm really looking forwards to it!

Why, Aksys. How in any way is this a remotely reasonable translation for "Tokisaka-kun".

I think that by adding "little" they're trying to express that she's being patronizing, in a sort of teasing way. It's a bit clumsy, something like "Well if it isn't little Tokisaka" would have been better, but I think it gets the point across :shrug:

TBH they probably decided not to for narrative reasons; Whereabouts of Light is supposed to be this kind of obscure folk song IIRC so you can just pretend the SC ending song is a real thing. Also I swear had the Silver Will/Hamel leitmotif in there so it hit me harder in the feels.

Yeah, I totally thought that's where it was going too, since Olivier said it was an old Erebonian folk song.

I was super disappointed and a little mad that it wasn't.

Ys 1 and 2 has better music but much, much worse gameplay. It does follow up on Ys Origin, technically.

I am under the assumption that the Sky series should be played before the Cold Steel series, is that right? I left off on the beginning of the last chapter on Sky FC (Which I hear is still a good half of the game), but all the talk about Cold Steel is making it tempting.

That's less than half, more like a third or so.

Sky all takes place two years before Cold Steel, but you can play Cold Steel first, you'll just miss some references and going backwards will be weird combat wise.

My recommendation is to play Sky first.
