    It's pretty interesting so far, though I haven't really had the time to really sit down and immerse myself aside from reading it on my commute. It's a bit harder to follow than Murder on the Orient Express at first, mostly because that book had a central POV protagonist, whereas in here that focus is constantly shifting. But I am very curious to see where this is going!

    Interesting system on Root Double. Seems complicated though >.<

    Is it a puzzle VN like Virtue's Last Reward, or just a regular non self-esteem destroying VN?

    So I finished Princess Evangile (really liked it btw) and then decided to see what the "bad ending" would look like if I didn't choose a particular girl over another. I literally got a black screen saying "This is a bad end" xDDD

    Alllmost done. So far my fav character also has my fav route. It's great when that works out!

    I will be playing Root Double after this one

    Yeah. Anime is the right word. Especially since the scene I saw when the kid with the bat first showed up - hood on, face in shadow, big huge yellow eyes glowing - kind of reminded me of Bakemonogatari, now that I think about it.

    I'm just gonna copy-paste what I told Pumpkin, because I kinda sorta thought I should share?

    So I had a dream that I had a dream that I wanted to turn into a book. I was so stoked in the dream and it was all so good and all, and when I woke up, I focused on remembering it and then I thought it was really dumb? But still kinda workable I guess?

    It kinda centered around four main characters. The main protagonist is some middle aged guy who likes working on his garden. The other major character is a wood sprite (???) and her house is destroyed. I think it's because of the main guy, but there's also something about an asteroid? And then there's this college kid that has a really thick New Jersey accent and he kind of has superpowers and gets drafted by this fraternity thing that gathers people with superpowers and arms them with baseball bats or something and tells them they have to kill wood sprites and other hidden magical beings because apparently they think they're evil? And there's a fourth character who is a woman and I can't for the life of me remember her role in that weird dream but she was like incredibly important to the plot?

    So from what I remember, basically the story starts off with the main character destroying her home and she makes him take responsibility. Bicker bicker, hilarity ensues. First they kind of just have to outsmart the college kid, but later on he kinda sees that sprites are not bad and decides to leave the fraternity and joins them because through various plot twists it turns out that this asteroid thing is going on and they need to unravel some conspiracy? And in the end home is where the heart is and they go on a road trip because there's no point in trying to rebuild that home? (Yeah, I think I remember now - the protagonist destroyed it first and then she rebuilt it and it got destroyed again by the asteroid).

    It's incredibly stupid. But I think I could make it into a "hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" type of deal, I guess?

    Why do I keep getting ideas mid-idea? I'll never finish anything like this!

    Awesome, glad you're having a good time!

    I am enjoying my vacation time. About to name-out-of-a-hat which game I'm going to add to the currently playing list. Allllmost done Princess Evangile. Saved my fav character for last, as I usually do, so I'm excited about that!

    Wow, überall wo ich hinschaue, das ganze Forum hat ja wirklich null den Sinn von CD2 des siebten Teils verstanden. Etwas nicht zu verstehen macht kein Plothole draus.

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

YS VIII: LACRIMOSA OF DANA

If it's not clear by now, I adore the Ys series. I love how purely fun these games are, I love the simple sense of adventure, and the sense of genuine mystique from uncovering the lore of ancient places of legend. I love the way Falcom humanizes their characters and really makes them feel 'real' in a way other studios' JRPGs struggle to match. And whatever I may have said about Celceta it still is a game that has a lot of that.

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys: Memories of Celceta (Ys IV)

YS: MEMORIES OF CELCETA (YS IV)

Time for a quick history lesson! Ys IV's history is a strange one indeed. Back around its initial release there were actually two games that were Ys IV, there was "Ys IV: Dawn of Ys" by Hudson Soft on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) CD-ROM, and then there was "Ys IV: Mask of the Sun" by Tonkin House on the SNES. How did that happen? Well Falcom were in a bit of a situation at

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys Seven

YS SEVEN

Heading into the final era of Ys games and in the series' timeline the chronologically last of the localized games so far we have Ys Seven. Released for the PSP in late 2009 and ported to the PC years later, this game marks a heavy departure from earlier titles in the series in terms of graphics, gameplay and storytelling alike. The shift was met with mixed reception, but given all that came out of it, I couldn't be

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys Origin

YS ORIGIN

Now for perhaps one of the best-known games in the series, Ys Origin has gained quite a bit of notoriety especially on Steam, probably mainly because its Steam trailer is super hype. Does it deserve it? Well, to put it very simply... hell yeah it does.


As mentioned already, in Ys Origin you do not play as Adol. That's because this game is a prequel to the Ys I & II duology,

A Modern Guide to Ys - Ys: The Oath in Felghana (Ys III)

YS: THE OATH IN FELGHANA (YS III)

The third Ys game was known in the SNES era as "Wanderers of Ys", and was the game to introduce a lot of the western world to the series. Its reputation overall has been mixed, being a sort of "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" of the Ys series, ditching the overhead view for a sidescrolling adventure and as already implied not really being about the land of Ys at all anymore,
