I don't exactly have a direct line to Falcom

You'll have to ask XSEED, or check Falcom's twitter, for that!

Also I dunno if anything else is "a lock" at this point, but if the game's doing what I suspect it's doing, it'll definitely help.

How do top sellers work? Is it daily, weekly?

 

[epmode]

It's updated too quickly to be daily. Hourly?

Daily.

We have a lovely lady from XSEED in this very thread, you know.


Also, bought using the Steam app, because I need more places to spend my money from :/

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Oh yes. As soon as I get home, this will be bought.

Oh. Y

Wow, playing this game on normal (instead of Nightmare like I did on the PSP version) really makes it a lot easier. And faster. 1:15 playtime and I'm already at the volcano, I think that took me around 5 hours on the PSP.
And playing it on my TV is a blast. Really, really enjoying it. But did anyone else experience some stuttering in the music from time to time or randomly long times (it took the game 3 seconds to just load the first lit torch in the mine)?

 

[HoosTrax]

Daily.

The chart positions change multiple times within a 24 hour period though. It seems like it updates hourly maybe? Occasionally the chart "breaks" and gets obviously stuck (a AAA title on sale that doesn't even place on the chart), typically during weekends.

 

[Volcynika]

The voice acting in the PSP version is ear-rending garbage. Don't even consider it in your appraisal because you'll just turn it off as soon as you encounter the lady that runs the inn anyway.

I thought it was fine.

*shrugs*

 

[chaosblade]

Daily.

It's more frequent than daily, unless that's when sales counter starts dropping things.

I think the top sellers are based on the amount of money earned over a certain amount of time, possibly daily. No idea how frequently the actual list updates though, but it's frequent. I'd guess hourly or on the half hour, if it's not entirely dynamic.

 

[mr stroke]

I switched to 1280x960, couldn't handle the stretching anymore.

Looks good though.

This game cleans up nicely on the PC, looks much better than the PSP version

 

[Jucksalbe]

I thought it was fine.

*shrugs*

The woman at the inn was about the only person that wasn't good. I liked the dub and I'm already missing it in the PC version.

 

[Mattakuevan]

My god does this look/play great on PC. It makes a great game even better!

Do i want this game? I played a Ys game on DS once and i hated it.

That was the shitty remake of Ys I & II. Everyone knows it fucking sucked.

This, on the other hand, will suck you.

This most likely plays nothing like what you played on DS, but you'd probably have to be able to name which installment you played to be sure.

Pretty sure that bad remake of 1&2 was the only Ys game on DS.

I think i my brother had Legacy of Ys: Books I & II or something.

So you've never played an Ys game. You should give one a shot!

 

[Netto-kun]

And Ys Strategy.

For anyone using an Nvidia card, I'd recommend choosing "No scaling" and using the GPU as the scaling device. Then simply choose the largest 4:3 resolution that fits within your monitors native resolution and it'll be displayed perfectly letterboxed without any additional scaling.

It looks fantastic.

That wasn't ys.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Bought x2!

It's currently the number one top seller on Steam. Here we come LOH: Trails in the Sky.

 

[ColossalLazy]

That wasn't ys.

And i thought i sucked because I coudnt beat the last boss from 1.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

well fuck me, so the original game is even harder than it was on PSP then cos of the no double boost?

lol oh well... i suppose i COULD have beaten it with single boost as well but damnit, it would have been a LOT tougher

 

[LowParry]

Ya know what would be neat is to see a port to PC of Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki.

 

[Kincaido]

Downloading the game now. Can't wait for it to finish.

 

[dragonlife]

Fuck these bugs. Why did I go for the chest with 15 heeeeealth, even though I had already eluded them once before. Damn me.

 

[Alexios]

Downloading... Hope it's better than 7 though.

 

[L00P]

Bought. Never played an Ys game before, I hope it's good!

 

[Blizzard]

Downloading... Hope it's better than 7 though.

What's funny is that on another forum, I mentioned the game, and someone said that it's a decent, no frills, action RPG. They also said that Ys Seven was awesome -- so I guess tastes differ. What didn't you like about Ys Seven?

 

[Eusis]

Depends on your tastes, but most prefer this to 7.

[Aeana]

It is, though everything from Origin on has had waaaay too much text. Nobody cares, this isn't a space opera. Just let us play, Falcom!

I feel like Ys 7 was Falcom's way of trying to make Ys as popular as the Kiseki series, but it didn't work. Origin might have a fair bit of text, but it is at least presented much better. Ys 7 just has text for the sake of having text.

Well, they do have somewhat opposite design philosophies... Seven has a party system and tons of modern grindy systems with abilities, sidequests and a bigger focus on story, whereas Felghana is a 10-12 super focused adventure with basically no filler and a pretty basic upgrade system.

Seven also felt a lot faster in combat and somewhat less adventure-y at times. They're very different games, all things considered.

 

[Hours Left]

I'm so happy this is doing well, and so quickly. Anything that exposes Falcom to more gamers and helps XSEED is a-okay in my book.

Now TitS SC please. (Though not just on Steam.)

 

[Maedhros]

Don't see much difference from this to the PSP version I own... dunno if I'll double dip (I probably will, my finger is almost pressing the button).

Do it.

The difference is far greater than what you see in the shots on the store page. And it runs smoother.

And seriously. All the cool kids are doing it. Don't you want to be cool?

I want one :V

I liked it, I finished it, it just wasn't particularly special in anything and had pretty predictable progression, you always knew how you'd get to the next area and then have a new set of best weapons and such to get, etc, combat wasn't particularly engaging either, at least on the normal mode, I didn't feel like replaying it after that. It was like an average JRPG with simple action combat.

Screenshots!

 

[Corky]

1. Never played an Ys game
2. Last rpg like this I played was years and years ago
3. Can I just jump in into this iteration of the series?
4. Is it beginner friendly?
5. Should I get it?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

This game is so good so far.
