The price depresses me. 
Ys 7 PE costs a little over $50 here.

Oh yeah - Oath in Felghana took Ark of Napishtim's combat and platforming and perfected it.May16 said:

As I have a PSPGo, I wasn't going to buy the LE version of the game. But with the price drop, I just ordered it anyways The soundtrack CD will be worth it - though I got the super PC version that came with like 8 soundtrack CD's, what it didn't have was the straight Oath in Felghana soundtrack.

My pre-order price was updated, plus I had some credits from the last few games I've pre-ordered so it came out to like $5.

I just looked on my end.
This morning, they dropped it to 30 bucks. I checked my order when I saw the post and my order was also reflecting the change. My card has also been charged $33.81 for the game + one day Prime shipping.
However, when I view the main Ys:OiF page now, its back at 40 bucks. It looks like amazon either mistakenly dropped the price or had a quick 5 hour sale or something.
My order is still saying $33.81 though and my card has already been charged.

Yeah, but check the checkout page, and there's a "$10 promotion" listed.CcrooK said:

That's much shorter than I thought.Macstorm said:
Still want it though...but...kind of a short game for a action/RPG.

The $10 promotion doesn't seem to be popping up when I try to check out.

Has this hit stores yet? I forgot to pre-order but would like to swing by a Gamestop on my way back from work to grab it.
10 hours is a perfectly great length for a game like this, especially when you consider that its rough equivalent, a Metroidvania, is roughly half the length with substantially more filler. I love Ys Seven a lot also but it did feel a little bloated at times. This is much quicker and has a brilliant tempo.
The Tigre Mine theme, Be Careful, is also one of the best video game theme songs EVER. I have the Genesis version of the song as my ringtone, so every time someone calls me I can be reminded about how awesome it is.

It's in large part due to them focusing on the core gameplay - there is no unnecessary padding. You don't stay in a dungeon so long that you get tired of it, there isn't any unnecessary backtracking, the storyline segments are pretty short. And the game rewards playing through it more than once, with 5 different difficulty levels (that actually make the bosses do entirely different attacks), things you unlock every time you beat it, etc.TheFLYINGManga_Ka said:

i don't think you'll finish it in 8-10 hours on the higher difficulties.
Just began playing around with this a bit. Here's some quick impressions:
- 5 difficulties unlocked from start (ulike the PC where you had to beat/hack the game to unlock them)
- Lots of options including one to turn off voices and change between 3 music styles
- Oh god the voices! Off you go.
- Holding 'O' speeds through the cutscenes
- Game loads super quick (UMD) in fact I haven't noticed any game loading so far
- Blood and gibs are still there
- Game looks decent on PSP though sprites are a little on the soft side

Has anyone found this game in any stores other than GS/EB? I can't find it anywhere and can't order it online at the moment.
john tv said:Any thoughts on the writing and voices? Please tell me it's much, much better than Ys Seven?
Honestly, I've been skimming through most of the story since I've played through this a couple of times already. I think the translation was the same as the PC one, which was pretty good. Voices however were pretty bad for the most part. Dogi's was awful, Colet...er Elena was ok, and the narrator sounded awkward. You can turn the voices off thankfully.
Got a LE at GameStop today. That was without a preorder.eLZhi said:

The translation wasn't exactly the same as the PC, XSeed said they started with that, and then edited it.Enk said:

Yay! Just bought it and started downloading off of PSN. Still playing 7 though, but I am almost done.

Haha - ordered it last night, woke up this morning and saw the LE was marked down. Cancelled order and got LE instead. Still showing up as $29.82, frickin' sweet!

Just bought this off PSN as well.
About to settle down in bed and play it.
Was looking forward to this Ys release the most. I saw a Ys7 collector's edition sitting in gamestop though that I'll probably pick up if I like this enough.
Excited just from listening to the music, lol.

I know right? Next thing we'll be complaining about FPS drops and freezing. Making games is hard yo.
The text is bad, it matters a lot on a tiny screen, if you're fine with mediocrity no one is going to hold it against you.

I'd have to agree the text looks awful in pictures, but in the actual game on a PSP screen I didn't see any problem at all.
Enk said:
I can't be arsed to feel one way or another about most of the voices, but the narrator is fantastic. Makes it sound like a classy old grandpa telling a story.
