No game before DS ever expected the player to methodically dodge telegraphed attacks and deal out damage when safe to do so. Unprecedented.
Also the combat in DS is very similar to real medieval swordfighting. I would know bc I've watched choreographed Hollywood imitations of medieval swordfighting in movies.

Zelda is just dark souls on the nes dood.
Re: FALCOM Thread
Super Metroid is just 2D Dark Souls with a gun.
The only game ever made that wasn't influenced by Dark Souls is Dark Souls II.

Re: FALCOM Thread
Speaking of the next Ys entry, it seems Adol's headed North this time around.
There's also a fancied-up version of Oath in Felghana on the way to the Switch.

Re: FALCOM Thread
Would buy that Oath port in a heartbeat on PS4/5 Assuming it's not nerfed in some way, grr. Never did finish off Inferno mode.

Re: FALCOM Thread
A few new tidbits on Ys X. Also, Falcom intends to reissue two more "enhanced' titles for the Switch, though it hasn't spilled the beans on which ones yet.

Re: FALCOM Thread
A few of you might recall that in real time I enjoyed Ys 8, but also called its story one of the silliest and stupidest things I've ever experienced.
Naturally, it's getting a novelization.

Re: FALCOM Thread
Nayuta's Western release date set for September 19th.
Re: FALCOM Thread
I keep meaning to play the rest of the Ys games. I loved Ys Seven but wasn't big on Celceta. I own Origins but never played it. Should pick up Oath as well. Ys 9 was fine but I played it on the switch and performance was extremely sub-par.
I kind of wish Falcom would prioritize Ys over Trails even though Trails is obviously the bigger money-maker for them. I like the Trails games but I think it unlikely they'll create another Trails games as enjoyable (for me) as Sky SC. Ys has an "eternal adventure" setup that's perfect for creating new adventures and experimenting with the gameplay and design. So to summarize my thoughts, I see Ys as having limitless potential, while Trails games have become rather pigeonholed and taken on some obnoxious JRPG harem tropes.

Re: FALCOM Thread
I am such a wimp. I have videogame arachnophobia such that I can't deal with giant ugly nasty spiders in videogames and Falcom seems intent on putting some nasty disgusting giant spider boss in every one of their games, or close enough to every one that I'm afraid of them all.
I know a number of the Ys games have them as do the Trails of Cold Steel games, which I bought a bunch of before I knew this. The only thing I sitll have is Tokyo Xanadu eX+, which I think, and hope, is terror-free. I have some of the older Ys via GoG which may be safe but as I never actually play PC games I'll probably never get around to those.

If you haven't even played 1&2, Oath, Origin, or 8 yet, you have the best in store for sure. Seven and Celceta are both extremely midSima Tuna wrote:I keep meaning to play the rest of the Ys games.

I'd recommend playing 1&2 (the Chronicles collection is excellent - looks beautiful, but feels very respectful of the originals) before Origin if only to recognize all the little callbacks in that game. But I guess it's possible it works both ways. Either way it's just a little classic game that holds a lot of love and nostalgia for me. The bump combat in 1 feels like it'd be a meme, but it kinda plays into its pure, basic and fast paced nature.

Re: FALCOM Thread
Japanese release date for Ys 10 is September 28th.
Re: FALCOM Thread
As a very casual RPG player that's hesitant to jump into a massive series of interconnected stories and characters across multiple games I decided to dip my toes into Trails by trying out the PC port of Nayuta earlier (since from what I read it's a one-off shorter story and more action/non-turn based like Ys, which is usually more my style). After finishing the main story I came away liking it a lot. It was involving enough for me to have fun, but not so complicated that I would forget the details if I took a few days or a week off in between play sessions. The 1-town structure and in-progress quest notes helped a lot. I think it took me around 3 weeks to finish.
Now I am trying out the main series with Trails in the Sky. I finished the prologue and think I am about half way into Chapter 1, and "so far so good", but usually I start to lose interest in stories after around the 20-25 hour mark. I have seen others mention that the story gets good later on so I am going to try to stick with it.
