Have Silver pre-ordered on amazon. No release-date delivery is bumming me out, then I remind myself I have Mario 3D World, Zelda: Link Between Worlds and Tearaway all to keep me busy anyway :|

 

[jello44]

So hyped. I'm wondering if I will be able to wait until I can find a good deal for this on Black Friday of I'll cave and get it day one. Decisions.

From what I've seen of the BF ads, don't bet on it.

You may MAY get lucky that Amazon might have some lightning deal on it, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

ys seven had a INCREDIBLY HARD final boss and caused me to not finish the game entirely

I know ys games are known to have difficult bosses but fuck

The only problem I had with that boss was...

Not knowing you have to level up every single character, because you have to use them all in three phases to defeat it. Thankfully the leveling wasn't that grindy, and the great combat made it go by fast.

 

[Megatron]

^ Exactly. The BF ads are all out already, there really aren't any Vita games in them, let alone one as niche as this. If you want the game don't let BF be your reason for waiting, especially if you want the SE.

 

[Cheska]

Eaaaasily one of my most anticipated releases of the year. Nice OT Volc

 

[Jinto]

Holy crap. I forgot I pre-ordered this. It was supposed to come out on November 5th, then got delayed. With everything else coming out this month, I completely forget about it. Just checked ebgames and it's coming on Tuesday. Yes! The only bad thing is it's coming out the same day my copy of Zelda is supposed to arrive.

 

[Augemitbutter]

this is very close to euro PS4 launch, damn. can't wait though.

 

[Y2Kev]

Amazon just delayed my copy until December 2nd...

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ok, I want to get this game but for some reason I'm experiencing a great deal of anxiety over how it's pronounced. Can someone help? Like, wtf am I saying when I go to gamestop? Do you have "Whys" for vita? "Yeez"? "Yis"?

"Ees"

 

[Ragingnight]

thanks for reminding me. I had the LE ordered at amazon and I cancelled it. Moved it to gamestop instead because fuck amazon on LE for games. Stop sending LE games in bubble mailers amazon.

 

[zroid]

It's Ysier to just call it "Celceta"

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Just noticed my order went from Not Yet Shipped to Pre-Ordered. Might have to contact them on when they'll ship it.

 

[Aeana]

Part Sequel, Part Remake? - With three prior versions of Ys IV developed by third-party companies, Ys: Memories of Celceta represents creator Nihon Falcom's first in-house take on this classic story. Part remake and part sequel, this retelling of and expansion upon the events of Ys IV is designed with both newcomers and long-time series fans in mind.

I don't know if I agree with this. It's simply another telling of the Ys 4 events, done in a really different way.

Spoiler

I can see the sequel angle just because the characters all seem to know Adol but he doesn't remember them, but the stuff they remember isn't from the other Ys 4s either.

one day shipping for me is the best they could do. oh well. i have too many games to play anyways lol

their whole system seems to be broke lately. you should stay persistent when you contact.

 

[Ragingnight]

i hope they don't ship the game to you in a bubble mailer. Multiple LE of mine have been damage because of it. Basically fuck amazon and newegg for LEs that can fit in a bubble mailer.

they will. i got ACIV, Tearaway, and SMB3DW in a bubble envelope. but how they expect to fit it in there? i got to contact them later and demand a real box lol. KH1.5 am cry.

 

[DigitalOp]

Vita is killing shit right now! Gonna grab this with extra guap!

 

[atmusfear]

I NEEEED this game,

Got it from the website :x

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh, almost time to get my pre-order... My vita awaits...

 

[atmusfear]

holiday sale is upon us soon.

I'd rather import (or wait) on the Vita TV.

 

[Aeana]

I'd rather import (or wait) on the Vita TV.

Vita TV only works with Japanese PSN accounts right now, and there's no guarantee that the cart version of this game will have the Vita TV patch that the JP version got built in. Would be nice though, since I grabbed a Vita TV.

 

[teiresias]

Mine still says they can't tell me a delivery estimate yet, I've sent them an email. It's starting to piss me off.

Also, I sort of hope this game is shorter than Ys 7. 7 started to really overstay its welcome and was waaaay too long for its own good.

 

[kubricks]

Thanks for the OP, Just placed my order!
I already completed Ys7 3 times... can't wait to play this which is based on the same battle system!

 

[silenttwn]

Not port begging, just wondering if they've announced any plans to bring this to PC? It's been nice to see releases of Ys on Steam.

Please see the F.A.Q. in the OP!

Also no. Vita exclusive until stated otherwise.

 

[ohlawd]

The LE Is standardized. This isn't like NISA where their own store has a thing or two more than normal retail stores. The LE will be the same no matter where you get it from.

alright cool preordering from BB now. Thankies.

This is better than anything else you guy(unless it's Mario/Zelda, then you're forgiven)

I don't need to play this to know that it's better than a topdown Zelda.

Spoiler

played ALBW for like an hour

 

[Animekatt]

Exactly why I went with GS.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Dec 2 here as well. Will be surprised if it doesn't update to release date delivery some time soon.

Also, this is such a good game. I can't wait for more impressions/happy people playing it in this thread.

Dec 2 here too.

 

[jon bones]

Vita backlog is way too big but I need this. Ys Seven combat engine is the most fun thing ever.

XSEED stays doing work for the Vita.

 

[silenttwn]

Please see the F.A.Q. in the OP!

Thanks.

 

[hongcha]

This game is so good (I played through the JP version). Really happy for you guys who get to play it for the first time next week. It's still probably the best Vita exclusive released thus far.

It's not fair to compare anything to Ys.... nothing is as good.

XSEED is so based

yep and i was only working on level up my mains :/. i don't like grinding either so i stopped playing lol

 

[wyrdwad]

FYI, the book pictured in that Silver Anniversary Edition mock-up image? Totally underselling the actual thing, which is easily twice as thick.

[Reluctant-Hero]

Volc, excellent OP.

My Amazon Silver Anniversary preorder is also set for 11/27 with one day shipping. But I forgot about their bubble mailer bullshit. I'd best preorder at my local Gamestop to be on the safe side.

Could you share some first hand photos, Tom?

You guys sent it out! I'm using what I have.

 

[darkjedi187]

One of the reasons for the Vita and I cannot wait. The only Ys game I haven't played is origins. It looks great, wonder why it never made it to the Vita.

 

[wyrdwad]

Nope! We held an informal vote in the office, and determined that it would be better to let you guys experience the magic on your own when you get your copies. No "spoilers."

Oh, of course! That wasn't meant as a sleight in any way. More just as a source of hype for the LE, which I'm SO PSYCHED for people to get. Hell, I helped put the thing together, and even I can't wait to get my own non-office copy so I can ogle it in the comfort of my own home!

The generally accepted rumor (which is only a rumor, to be fair, but does seem to be supported by Japanese reviews and message board comments) is that the game didn't do particularly well in Japan due to the lack of Adol. Ys fans overseas (oversYs?) are nuts about the ol' red-haired adventurer, and they were NOT happy to play an Ys game without him!

[Edgeward]

Day 1. First I go digital for. My earlier decision to go physical haunts me as I cant play the psp games on my vita ;-;

Never again

 

[Hours Left]

Yay Vita stuff!

I don't know if I can pick this up immediately, but definitely sooner rather than later.

 

[Megatron]

Just traded a bunch of old games I won't play any more into Gamestop. I pre-ordered both versions of Ys since I can't quite decide if I want the special edition or not. Sort of leaning towards getting it now, especially since it will all be paid by my trade in anyway.

You want it. 3 CDs full of Ys music spanning the various releases AND a compass? C'mon. Thats adventurer's gold.

I want the EU release of this

Man, that's exactly what I was thinking. If pictures were shown I'd have made a point of avoiding them in favor of seeing the real deal for myself when I pick it up.

 

[Hesemonni]

is this 60fps or 30 like the psp ones?

This too interests me greatly.

 

[Eusis]

This too interests me greatly.

I'm expecting 30 myself. That's usually the case with JRPGs and Tales battles aside I expect to be pleasantly surprised with 60 at best. Not unless it's sub-native resolution FOR 60 FPS, but I doubt that. Going to be weird to have whiplash between this and Zelda, heh.
