[Aeana]

Any word on this coming to amazon or something else or will it just be steam?

Just Steam.

 

[Blizzard]

Watched the stream for 30 seconds having never played a Ys game in my life.


Game is now purchased.

I'm in this boat as well -- if anyone has a gameplay video/trailer that gives some idea of what to expect, that would be awesome.

 

[Mattakuevan]

No word on anything else. Xseed partnered with steam specifically.

 

[H.Protagonist]

All the achievement art is fantastic.

I will be sure to let our intern know. She created them all from scratch and Falcom gave their blessing for them to be in the game.

There haven't been any plans announced for that, and really, I'd be very surprised if it made the leap over there.

Yessssssssss. Keep going.

Knowing they ok'd that picture is the best part of it all.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

aaaaaaand bought! Can't wait to play it in a few hours

heheh ...that's awesome.

very nice achievement art.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Hmm... I'll maybe stream the first hour or two of this game tonight... no mic, so I can't do my typical douchebag commentary, but uh... yeah.

That's assuming xsplit plays nicely with the game. Which it probably won't.

 

[Koroviev]

I'm going to be all over this just as soon as I finish a few other things. March has been a great month :'D

 

[Teknoman]

Going to test to see how Fraps reacts to this.

 

[Salaadin]

LOL @ forever alone Adol.

Great achievement art.

 

[Aeana]

btw, Volc, you've got the Ys Origin version of that image in the OP. You need the Felghana one:

 

[GasProblem]

Second boss in one try

On normal though,

 

[StarCreator]

Another stream for those who need to cross them.

 

[MechaX]

Just bought it. Such a shame XSEED didn't just do this from the get go.

 

[speedpop]

This looks so nice on the PC. I love my handhelds and adored my time with the game on PSP, but damn it is getting pushed in to the dust corner now.

Just bought it. Such a shame XSEED didn't just do this from the get go.

Well hopefully it will carry on and formulate in to a greater selection.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Just sold another sucker on this POS game. I am pleased.

 

[rockx4]

The 2nd boss in the Mines really handed it to me a few times lol. She gave me this achievement:

 

[flowsnake]

Yeah but that stretches vertically, so you're not getting 1:1 with the chosen resolution. You can add custom resolutions via the control panel if you need one.

I don't have the "change resolution" option, so I guess I can't create custom ones.

 

[Yuripaw]

I had been considering getting the PSP version of this game ever since I got a Vita. With the release of the Steam version, I don't know which one I should get now. The PC version would be cool cuz of all the steamworks features, and the fact I can play it on my PC. However, the PSP version has some extra features, and would look cool on my Vita screen. They're both the same price, so it's a tough call atm.

Haha. I'm there now. Losing in this game isn't annoying; you always think you can do better.

PC looks and runs way better if it helps.

 

[Teknoman]

Maybe I just have noticed yet, but changing to 1440x900...the game doesnt look that bad.

Going to mess with my AMD settings/monitor settings to see how true 4:3 looks compared to this. Unless the hud will be even sharper or something.

PC version IMO

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Is there a way to move faster in this game than just run? I'm waiting for it to download still but I'm just curious since I rolled everywhere in Ys7.

 

[Durante]

I just bought this game for the second time this month.

Feels good man.

 

[Aeana]

There's a dash ability later in the game.

 

[Salaadin]

You get a dash ability late on. Its faster than regular run but not as fast as Ys 7 roll.
Actually, once I get dash, I never turn it off. It becomes the regular game speed for me.

Edit: Damnit, Aeana!

I have both versions, and the PC version looks a lot better imo. Like way better due to the higher resoultion.

Haha, oh waw. New avatar get!

 

[djtiesto]

Doing a little triple-dipping tonite... so any word on an Origin release date? That's the one I really am dying for, since I haven't played it yet.

 

[dragonlife]

SON OF A BITCH, haha.

Second boss. I finally do everything perfectly, but I keep getting hit by the lightning every single time. We exchange blows but she hits me first and GAME OVER... BUT THE BOSS IS DYING. Nooooooo, haha. How cruel.

 

[Wonko_C]

How farfetched would it be for Falcom/XSEED to commission Bluepoint Games or any of those studios that are good at HD re-releases of games, so they can port Ys Seven to PC?

I want my 1080p/60 Ys Seven. (drools)

Ys 7 is already being ported to PC for the Chinese market, to be released on June 20. However, it'll be a fairly barebones port (likely not without its share of issues).

 

[Durante]

Oh wow this is the best configuration tool ever.

 

[chaosblade]

Apparently Wyrdwad is working on the editing for that one now. No idea as far as a release date, but apparently it's not too far off. I'd guess May/June given some off-hand comments, but that's entirely speculation on my part.

I'd imagine the chances of commissioning another company to port such a niche game would be zero. But what would be less surprising would be Falcom themselves porting the game...

Actually, I seem to recall hearing some Chinese company was porting the game to PC, but I think it was a shitty company who'll probably screw up.

 

[Durante]

How hard can it be to make a usable port of a game to a platform that is 100 times more powerful? I'd give the chinese port a chance.

Srsly. Elena is sooo hawt ^_^

Ahem, but yeah, she is.

Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4, etc.

The PC port of Zero no Kiseki has lots of issues, particularly with sound effects cutting out and it also doesn't run at 60 FPS all the time (or even most of the time, I'd say). It's not a good port at all. The Ys 7 port is by the same company, sooo.

Here's a comparison shot though: http://www.ali213.net/news/html/2011-11/28182.html

 

[Chaos]

Wow, I suck. Can't beat the first boss Awesome music for it, though. I'm considering buying the game for a friend. His PC sucks, so this would be a good and fun game for him, I think. But... I'm broke D:

Yeah he was tricky, died 10 times to him and got

achievement

 

[mattiewheels]

I'm probably getting this instead of the psp one for my Vita, but no widescreen? Ehhh.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

The soundtrack...

 

[Aeana]

They're supposedly working on a widescreen patch.

 

[Eusis]

Wonder if the work on the widescreen patch can carry over to Ys Origin and Trails in the Sky. That'd be nice, and seemingly bring a few more on board.

Something interesting I noticed and one of the more clever ways to use achievements: I noticed that one of them is awarded for screwing up a sidequest. I'd be very interested to see reactions of people screwing up there and getting an achievement for it, only to immediately reload and do it right.

 

[Tesseract]

mother of god, the OST is amazing.

Ah cool, then SOLD!
