Not so much on a 1000 because its screen is a ghosty piece of rear end, but on a 2000 or a Go it's fantastic. Also I'm going to write up some hints for Ys 1 on BeforeIPlay, but I gotta wait to get contributor access. I can pop them here in the meantime, though, if anybody wants that.

Right-oh.
That should help out those new to Ys I. It is an old game, so it's a little archaic, but still a whole lot of fun. Also switch to the PC-8801 music for maximum awesome.

Or get the Golden Pot from the pond near the younger Roda Tree and sell it to Pim for 2000/2200 gold. But with how much levels increase your buffness in Ys I I always just grind that first level up. Gets it out of the way, y'know?

I actually played through all of Seven without knowing about the Just Guard/Flash Step thing. If I remember right for some reason I hardly ever stocked up on restorative items either and just stubbornly forced my way through. God knows why. So I cleared Ys I Chronicles+. Apparently I've played so many versions of Ys I (Master System, TurboCD, Saturn, Eternal Complete, DS in both Japanese and English, PSP and now Chronicles+) that I know the game like the back of my hand. It took me exactly 75 minutes. Weirdly though, I've never cleared Ys II. I've gotten to Solomon (Salmon) Shrine, which I believe is near the end, but never actually finished it. I plan to rectify that. Also Vantage Master had a handful of Ys characters and monsters in it.

I'd say that VI is about the same as Oath, difficulty wise. There's a bit more in the way of tricky jumping bits, though.

Saralene posted:So hey, I just put out a patch for Chronicles+ to improve the controller support a bit. I'm still not sure about that Saitek (and can't really test since I don't have one) but people who are having controller problems, any improvement? Weirdly it doesn't seem to like the PS3 controller (Motioninjoy) but switching the driver to 360 emulation mode fixes it, so no real worries there. Actually while you're here, I did have this happen: http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BDK-on6CIAAiEC3.jpg It was only for that graphic, but man, Feena must have been really exhausted.

SpaceDrake posted:They did. Baller. quote:And I imagine request #1 would be official TurboCD music, but I wonder if those might be tied up in rights issues somehow. I'm not sure they would, since the base melodies are the IP of JDK/Falcom, but music rights can get so weird sometimes. Yeah I'd imagine the rights are a total mess at this point. If Hudson owned them, then they're now Konami's and I doubt they'd be forthcoming with them. On the other hand, if Ryo Yonemitsu pulled a Yuzo Koshiro and kept the rights himself.. but really, who knows.

I'm rewatching the Ys anime. Hilariously there's a fair amount of scenes where Adol just runs through the country side slashing enemies without stopping while First Steps Towards Wars plays. And for some reason Luta looks like a thinner Hercule  Also I still love how allergic to boats Adol is.

Serious Frolicking posted:How are those other falcom psp rpgs, the legend of something or other series? Legend of Heroes? The first three on PSP (Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch, A Tear of Vermilion, Song of the Ocean) have rear end-awful translations thanks to Bandai, and very simple gameplay, but there's a little charm there. Trails in the Sky is huge and pretty good and plays a liiitle like an SRPG but not quite.

The Mimic posted:The only thing that soured it is a bit of backtracking in the tower Having to go back to Luta (I keep trying to call him Luther) was such a pain in the rear end. The Mimic posted:I figure I'll play Ys II when I can and move on to... Oath in Felghana, which is a remake of Wanderers and next in the series? Yessir. The Mimic posted:On Steam, there's also Origin, I understand. And there seems to be a PC version of Ark of Nephistim, but it isn't on Steam? It sounds like it'll be a pain to get, and the OP gives good reason to avoid the PS2 version. Falcom are re-releasing it to be Windows 8 compatible, but that won't (likely) work with the patch due to having different executables. The PS2 version isn't that bad, honestly, especially if you have the US version and use the codes to use the PC stuff.

Sir Ilpalazzo posted:I just played through the Origins demo. I wasn't feeling it at first because the basic enemies felt boring to fight (although I was only on Normal), but the boss was incredibly fun and took a bunch of tries to take down. I'm probably going to buy the game before the sale ends, but I have a few questions. Are non-boss parts of the game more interesting than the demo part, and is there an option to remap the controls? I screwed up a lot during the boss fight because I felt like the jump and attack buttons needed to be reversed, but I didn't see any option for that in the menu. Yes and yes. There's a config tool that allows you to customize the controls to your heart's content. Full disclosure: Your heart may or may not be content once you have customized the controls and I take no responsibility for said contentness or lack thereof.

raditts posted:The Golden Sun games on GBA had a similar thing, where if you hang onto the Mind Read ability you can get alternate dialogue from every character in the game. Even in the second game where you can only get the ability if you transfer your party from the first game and it serves no plot-related purpose, everyone still has dialogue for it. Lunar 2 kind of did something similar too, after the game was over you could go around the world and every NPC had something new to say.

sandpiper posted:Oh yeah, this might as well be a Falcom general so I'll just mention that I picked this up since I never got around to it. It's a pretty good game, especially if you like more story-based Diablo clones like Record of Lodoss War. The translation patch is of fairly good quality, too. The N-gage version is shite, feel free to forget it exists.

sandpiper posted:On top of that, imagine a game where every single NPC had something interesting to say, and every single one said something new based on something you were doing ingame or the more the story progressed, and a lot of them were connected and had their own little stories to tell depending on when you talked to them and if you talked to someone else first. And every treasure chest has a unique line once it's empty. The only equivalents to the battle system I can think of are Wild ARMs 4/5 and Arc: Twilight of the Spirits. So, if you've played either of those you have a bit of an inkling as to what TitS is like.

Unmature posted:I was reviewing XSEED's Ys I&II Chronicles when it first came out and couldn't believe how obtuse the game was. Then I discovered one of the greatest treats in game localization history. XSEED actually includes a guide for the whole first game in the back of the manual! Maps and everything. Since most people play the first Ys as a history lesson, it's worth it to use the guide and blast through that game. A lot of people skip over game manuals completely, so I still regularly get to surprise people with this who've had the game since it came out. Huh. Well, that's news to me. I flicked through the manual a little, but obviously didn't get far enough to see that. A neat surprise, no doubt.
