    Yeah, by the time those franchises started to get popular, I was either diving head first into MegaTen or more likely too busy with going back to college.

    No, I have not. I think I played one of the Ys demo for the PSP (could be a different series though) but I have not to my memory.

    That will certainly help when the time comes. The comments on your video are hilarious too, typical Youtube.

    I still haven't gotten access to the whole party, but of the classes I have, I'm quite impressed with Red Battlemage. Happy I started Fran out on that one. Kind of wish I had not started Vaan as Shikari though since the class looks like one that gets more useful later when Ninja Blades become accessible.

    Overall, I'm really enjoying the class system and how it makes the party feel more distinct from each other. Can't wait to see what Knight and Time Battlemage will look like since they will be my starting classes for Basch and Ashe.

    I am starting to rethink the classes I'm going to give everyone when the secondary classes become available.

    It helped I got it as a gift. Not that I wasn't interested, just didn't have the money to pick it up when it came out. It's been an interesting experience so far.

    I know I need to write it all down, definitely. It is pretty exciting though, since on the one hand, it's more of a traditional fantasy than what I'm writing now - in that, it's a completely fictional universe. But I think the idea is pretty cool because I aim to kind of deconstruct the notion of fantasy races - none of the races are traditional fantasy races, and there aren't even "humans" per se, and they really more resemble real life races, ethnicities, as well as the tensions stemming from them.

    So I kinda want to do it as an allegory, but it's been fun just thinknig of what this "similar yet different to our own" world does. Although, as usual, I think the story will mostly be about the characters and go into intimate detail regarding their issues and relationships.

    Still, I'm happy. I was worried that after I'm done with my current project, I'd end up an empty well of nothing, my creativity done. And now, i try to reassure myself that I can craft a completely new story from scratch, and what do you know - it comes to me! I can do this!

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

by Karifean on 01-12-2020 at 12:17 AM

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,
