If I were to pick up one of the two modern Y's games on Steam, which would be a better choice: Oath in Felghana or Origins? Last one I played was VI on PS2 and I loved it.

I just beat Trails in the Sky and I can see why everyone held it up as a fantastic game. It's a slow start and burn, but events progress and the world is built until it all comes together in a really believable way. The stakes ramp up in the last two chapters to a well earned climax. The ending was a bit of a gut-punch after everything though. That said, I actually fist pumped when Cassius showed up to save the Colonel. . It just felt like the end of the journey, in a good way. So, final verdict: Good story, fun characters, great world building. It's going to be a long wait til the sequel.

Ryuga Death posted:Oh yeah, you're here. Here's what I thought of the ending, if you still care at all. Even though I was able to predict most of the twists of this game like Kloe being the princess/someone of royalty, Richard not being the real mastermind behind everything, etc, I admit that I didn't see the twist of the professor being anything more than a bumbling idiot. Is it silly of me to say that I felt sad about the whole ending thing between Joshua and Estelle? Regarding your spoiler: I felt like an idiot for not thinking more of Alba, but I guess that was the point. I probably said "Holy poo poo" out loud at the reveal. And no, It was pretty heartbreaking that the confessions of the two characters would end on such a down note. I honestly didn't expect either of them to tell the other what they were each hiding but even more so I didn't expect it to lead to their separation. They did such a good job building the two of them as likable individuals and a solid team that it felt like such a downer for things not to work out for them. That may have also been part of the emotional nature of the ending: the whole game was so bright and cheery and light that the dark turn it took in the ending was a total surprise. The final dungeon was pretty boss but you are right about it being short. I ended up skipping most of the map battles though, so that was probably part of it. I did all the chest battles and that was pretty much it.

How is the third Trails game? I don't hear much about it when people talk about the Trilogy. I know the soundtrack is all kinds of great, and that Estelle is not the main character but that's it. Is that coming out here after SC?

Mokinokaro posted:The third trails game is weird. It's basically a bunch of more self contained chapters that tie off minor loose ends of SC and lay the groundwork for the next game. Estelle isn't the main character because SC ends her story and Joshua's. 3 is more of an extended epilogue for them and most of the SC party. Awesome. I don't know why it took me so long to play Trails since I do own a PSP but beating it has made me a fan of the series and I want more. There's something about it that grabs me. That said, I'm kind in a Falcom mode in general right now, at least til Destiny hits. I really hope we see SC this year. I didn't expect to get so excited about it but here we are.

Nate RFB posted:For the final bosses I basically just gathered everyone in one place and had Olivier and Scherazard continuously cast Earth Wall and thus never get damaged at all I found that out right at the final boss through sheer luck and desperation. I'm kind of glad because the rest of the game isn't really hard enough to use it but it's so easy to use I probably would have.

Koguma posted:That Lorence fight in TitS can go straight to hell. Took like an hour and a half to beat that guy. He wasn't even killing my party, just healing himself every other turn and muting my mages. I can't remember how I did it but I think I had like 200 CP or whatever, used the Earth shield spell to protect my party and went apeshit with super moves. I'm pretty sure I gave Estelle the weapon from turning in all 10 books to that guy so she was about as strong as I could make her. I also made Time orbments for everyone to cut down on cast time and such.

Cake Attack posted:I think they said they were looking into that, although that was a while ago so who knows what came of it. Origins is really very good. I think the pacing is a lot better than Felghana out of the gate and the soundtrack is better too, but that's personal preference.

SpaceDrake posted:I've mentioned this before, but the problem with Napishtim is that, since the extant script is owned by Konami, they'd need to re-translate and re-insert the script, plus bring the game up to spec; basically it'd be as much work as any other game. So it's really a matter of finding time in the schedule. That sounds like it'd be very back-burner at best. Similarly, I bought a PSTV largely to play Celceta; imagine my dismay when I found out it wasn't compatible. XSEED seems optimistic Falcom will find time to update and patch the game to be compatible but I wont hold my breath.

Renoistic posted:If I'm only getting one Ys from the Steam sale, should I go for Origin or Chronicles? I've only ever played Celceta, which was great if a bit on the easy side. Origin is probably the most polished. I think the pacing is a lot better than Oath. It is a bit easier on the same difficulty though.

Overbite posted:Does the story in TitS ever pick up because I'm about 11 hours in and I'm just getting to the point where I have to find an airship and nothing really happened so far. How long is this game? The game is a lot of different threads that come together late in the game. The real "Oh poo poo, this is happening" doesn't really hit til I think the end of Chapter 3. You have to understand it's a game less about an epic story and more about the world and the characters involved. By the end you know them so well that the story matters because they do. If you're not into the slice of life character stuff it might take a really long time to click for you, if it ever does at all. EDIT: Is there any word on the new PS4 Ys game? The last I saw was the announce trailer from last year and I can't find anything new on it.

I just finished Napishtim for the first time in ten years? I dunno. I sure do love the game but man is it shorter than I remember. Probably because of the lack of teleporting in the original.

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.

Hoohah posted:Nope. I think the game warns you a million times before you get there that you can't go back. I tried on the steam version with warping and its disabled there as well. I think how much you like Seven is dependent on how much you like the break from platformer-Ys to party RPG Ys.

queeb posted:Hey guys how long of a game is trails in the sky, I just grabbed it since I've heard really good things. The PC controls are actually pretty good, but I have like 2 weeks until the FFXIV expansion comes out, just wondering if I'll have enough time to get through it. Pretty long. I think my clock read like 40ish hours by the time I beat it? EDIT: Just checked Steam - 46 hours.

Zombie Samurai posted:I don't really play JRPGs outside of older Final Fantasy games (and Skies of Arcadia), but I felt compelled to pick this up. Really hoping it's as good as everyone says, because it looks like it has a lot of meat to it. I say this a lot, but the thing to remember is it's not entirely like other RPGs in that it's very (almost exclusively early on) character focused. The events and the story take a long time to get going because the game takes its time establishing the characters which in turn lends the events more weight. By the time it starts feeling like a JRPG story, events hit home way harder that you'd anticipate. You kind of have to meet the game halfway on that, but it's completely worth it in the end.

Paperhouse posted:It's too easy m8 This is true, but I feel like some of the difficulty comes from a lack of polish compared to Origin. If you're looking for a tougher experience though, I can definitely seeing Felghana as the go-to. I just played both back to back (again) and I just enjoy Origin more, personally. Yunica is great but Number 3 is just on another level of fun to play.
