I hope my limited edition preorder is in tomorrow as well. I am DYING to play this game! I haven't been hyped for a PSP game in awhile!

Still preparing shipping, I are sad. Ever so sad.
I'll be prepping my PSP to play this, guess I'll need to get prometheus, whatever that is, internets don't fail me now.

Anyone know how big the PSN version is?
I'm passing on the LE so I might get the PSN version, but I only have ~850 MB free on my duo

The store probably won't update for another 8 or so hours.
My copy of the LE was just delivered!
I quickly popped in the UMD to test it, and the game loads on CFW 5.50 Gen-D3 (patched with Prometheus v4)!
Now the ISO is ripping. 745 MBs.
Rifling through the art book. Very nice stuff.
Loosely split into thirds, each dedicated to either Ys Seven, Oath, and I&II Chronicles!
I actually started from the back, so seeing the Ys I & II artwork actually made me a little emotional. While the games have only gotten better since then, I still hold that I & II had the best cast of characters and overall mythology. I can't believe we're getting these games here in the West!
Gameplay impressions/updates in a bit! Dragon Quest IX is now officially on the back-burner... and incomplete!

Patiently waiting on VG+ shipping my copy and hoping it arrives sooner rather than later.
Blargh. Game's pretty ugly. I see fuzzy white squares everywhere. Dithering, is it?
Opening scene complete with kick ass music is done. Just got to the first town.
Still, a wall joke almost from the get-go. Can't complain about that.
Purists might be annoyed by some of the localization decisions.
Romn. Promalock...
Hoooo boy. I hope there's an option to tweak the speed of the text scroll. It's slow to a truly amazing extent.

Uh, no. This is a PSP game, which means it's not playable on a PS3. Only PSOne Classics and minis are playable on both PS3 and PSP.SYNTAX182 said:
Real adventurers don't walk, jog, sprint, or run.
They dash! They roll! They frolic!
Seriously. You know Falcom knows ARPGs when they make moving around even the towns fast and fun!
Well, I suppose that doesn't really have anything to do with ARPGs after all. But fun is fun!

Is it GOOD then? Should I be getting this from PSN later? Bit concerned at not having seen any reviews yet :/
I'm still stuck exploring the first town. It's HUUUUUGE.
Well, by Ys standards.
Technically I could exit and go around killing random shit in the fields for a bit, but I want to finish exploring everything and talking to everyone before I move on.
Unflagging 30 FPS already means that it's better than the PSP version of Ys VI was, though!

I posted my review earlier in the thread, and RPGamer's review was also posted earlier in the thread.toythatkills said:

The first shops have a surprisingly robust lineup of goodies to purchase, across all categories. And the equipment is only tuned to Adol and Dogi, so I know that range will explode once other members join the party.
And yeah, the synthesis system.
And what seems like a FFIX-style skill learning system.
Tailzo said:Sounds like tons of fun. Also, I loved the skill learning in FFIX. You're not making the wait easier for me
Well, skills are tied to weapons (but not any other equipment, it seems), and can level up.
I'm assuming that if you level them enough, you can keep them even if you swap your weapons out. I think I read about it some time ago. At least I hope that's how it works!
Skill learning is sort of like FF9, but a bit different. You learn skills from weapons, but the skills have levels. Once a skill reaches level 1, it's learned permanently, but leveling it up beyond that makes it more powerful. It levels as you use it no matter what weapon is equipped, but if you keep the weapon that teaches that skill equipped, it earns twice as much experience. So there's an incentive to use older weapons for faster skill leveling.
Ahhh, there's nothing quite like a new Ys game.
When you step out onto the field for the first time, hear whatever kick-ass new tunes they composed for exploring the outdoors, and just bashing baddies for that first half hour or so before you move on to the inevitable shrine, cave, or castle.
Oh my. Something I never knew Ys combat needed.
Bashing the corpses of dead monsters for MORE loot!!
And limited grass cutting!
And party members that look for loot and harvest points for you!
Edit - And thanks for clearing that up Aeana. It's FFIX enough for me!
