You'll want both once you finish Oath. I haven't played Origins yet though, so I don't know if it's better than Oath.

I bought that Summer Sale Indie Bundle Day Five which included Ys Oath. A bunch of other games was included too.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
They're both very good games however, Origin has multiple characters whereas Oath only has 1 so it's a shorter game.

I've got my eye on you...
: )
Going off the sheer amount of content produced through G-Mod, I would have to assume it's very accessible.
Can anyone compare Y's to anything? I'm tempted to gift it to a friend, but I just want to know a little more before committing.
Haha, I'm glad I got some attention from this!
Maybe Double Fine can take note and take some action!!!!
I actually enjoyed Ys Origin more. Didn't really care for the overworld aspect of Felghana.
Sorted of like an isometric version of Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
It's an isometric 3D hack-and-slash JARPG with Metroidvania area progression (based on finding items that allow you to progress into previously inaccessible areas).

I haven't played Grimmrock so I can't comment on that but both Ys games are fantastic choices.
Action rpg that's kinda hack and slashy with most of the emphasis on the big boss fights they have.

Is there anyway to change the default install directory on Steam? In Big Picture mode everything is installing to my SSD
Bought Ys Origin, haven't even played the other Ys game yet. Steam...

Less traditional JRPG. I'd be more inclined to compare it with Zelda games than yer Final Fantasies.
Grimrock is an amazing game, if you like classic dungeon crawlers. Also, I'd recommend you to grab it from the Humble Bundle, beating the average will give you it (steamworks) and other nice games too.

Both Ys games are great. If you were to only get one, I'd say get Oath in Felghana first. You should get both if you can, though!
If you have a wheel and like sims, GTR 2 is an awesome buy for 3.60. Install the Power and Glory 3.0 mod and it's 60s and 70s car porn. But it's a sim. And the graphics are dated. So you're buying it for best in class physics and dem amazing cars.
Grabbed both Ys games.
burning through that student loan eh?
Ys Origins bought, as well as a Torchlight 2 4-pack for my roommate's birthday. I figured it would be silly to give him the game and keep him from playing with his friends!

WHat are the Ys games similar too?
Only if you don't have every other game in the current humble bundle I'd say.
Probably better to buy the current Humble Bundle if you don't have the other games in that deal.
Action RPG, kida like secret of mana but more fast paced, the series also have of the best videogame music ever made

Yes. And as far as I know, Origin is only on PC.
true dat, forgot
but yeah someone might not want/already has the other games
Thanks, I'll grab em.
Don't wait to play them, seriously, went from a series I'd never played to one of my favorites EVER in just playing Oath alone.

Alright, passing out for 6-12 hours. Laters Gaf.
Both Ys' games were very enjoyable games. Not a lot of fast paced action rpgs out there so that sold me alone back during the summer sale. I do not regret it one bit!
As a newcomer to the series, the game really forces you to pay attention to patterns and enemy tendencies or else you will get wrecked fairly quickly. That and not charging into things recklessly.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
