    Don't get me wrong - the anime was very good, and it kept me on edge and everything. it's just the nature of these trials that really makes you feel like you are in the trial room with all the characters that is just missing there. It doesn't really pale in comparison to the game, but more like the game actually has an element that can't really be replicated in an anime.

    Still, you should play DG2 as soon as you can afterwards. It is... something else, certainly. Everyone says it's so much better in every way. I liked it about the same as the first game, but some things were better, some were worse, IMO. I still think it's pretty excellent. And I know I haven't played many VNs (like, Danganronpa, Zero Escape and Ace Attorney is my full repertoire excluding games that are VN/RPG hybrids like P3P and Fire Emblem Awakening), but I still think this series might just be my favorite of the bunch.

    I kind of wished I hadn't seen the anime before playing the game, as I knew that twist was coming, but I still think the game was better anyway, so

    Also, you know about DG3, right? Apparently, the new game will be a completely separate story, but the story arc from the first two games will be concluded in an anime. Which is weird.

    Those God-damn late arrival spoilers

    Never, ever do that

    Unless you read more deeply into it, I still think there's room for surprise, so hopefully you can get some enjoyment out of it

    Oh right, if you're worried about the sim element, after you beat the game you unlock "school mode", which is basically the same game minus the murders, so you can just chat with everyone.

    Yeah, that trial was kind of a bummer. I actually really like the atmosphere of this game. The strange humor and feel of entertainment just clashes so nicely with the despair theme. It's pretty artful, IMO. And I like how original the style of the character designs is, even if a lot of them have basically the same face.

    As for the trial gameplay - you'll get used to it. It's a shame the sequel isn't out on Steam yet because gameplay-wise, Goodbye Despair picks up right where the first game left off, so you'll be starting with more truth bullets, and overall the first trial in the second game is arguably harder than the final trial in the first game.

    Also, Danganronpa has two endings, a good and bad one. I assume you'll want to see both, but I have one piece of advice if you want to go the true ending route - at some point, you will just have to trust a certain person, against all odds.

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,
