LOL, my thoughts exactly.
I'm only halfway through at about 40 hours and have only come across a few poorly translated sections.....

No, the translation is garbage but the person I quoted obviously has no idea how localization works.

My name is Ham. People call me Ham.
We have to release all the notions!
Whenever I think of YS VIII, that word comes to mind.
I don't know what you know about Ancient Species, but I'm an expert on Ancient Species.
We have to get rid of them. But first, to the Archeozoic big hole!

My favorite characters are brother adol and sister dana
Nooooooooooo! lol
Thanks, I hadn't thought of using that, I went back to the dungeon and things went much smoother. Sticking to one party helped too rather than swapping them in and out. I went with Adol, Laxia and Ricotta. Adol as the main damage dealer, Laxia to take out annoying flying enemies with her huge AoE skill and Ricotta for stun-spam.

The more time goes on the more it's trying to cement itself as the best fight in the series for meHot damn. Dana's final dungeon boss was tight.
This truly is the dark souls of Ys
I can imagine that. Especially with a no items run.
My first try was pretty close. Like a quarter of bar was left. Then it took 5 tries or so to even get close to that again. Saw some crazy shit.
I think I'm at the final boss now, but I'm still way too underleveled. Mobs are at least 10-15 levels higher than me.

79 but that was for inferno with no healing items allowed.

Did you all use the english dub? I feel like it's less jarring if you don't hear them reading those translations.
I think Adol was level 75, everyone else was from 71-73.

Would love access to the discord
Basically every major gaming site slept on this game, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the experience having inly played the first ys ages ago!
Can you not derail established threads with this bullshit? PM someone for fucks sake.Would love access to the discord
I mean it was brought up before he replied.

Dude relax he said or to reply here so i did. 1 post does not derail a thread.
In other news, I'm at the end of the game
lvl 76 for adol. Seems to have taken me awhile but did all side quests. Loved the fame. Wish it had cross play for times when I wanted to do It handheld. My remote play was bit crap at timesThen it goes for that person as well. Some of us jave not given up no need to throw their white flags in everyones face.

Dont think asking for a discord access was a white flag, U can enjoy both. Anyway back on topic I think
I'm part of Ys community, you can check my post in the community OT thread and this one and various Ys threads.
Let them reconnect with fellow enthusiasts. These people have been the backbone for Ys community and they love the community.

I'm a bit gutted that my Vita memory card died, as I feel like continuing off where I left off, which is right near the end of chapter 5.
I do think the game could do with more depth to its combat, at the end of the day, while flash guards and flash moves are insanely satisfying to pull off, the actual combat loop lacks variety because of them.
You're often pressing a button at the last second to an enemy tell, when spamming the optimal skills and attacks. There's little else to worry about, which is likely what caused the repetition that made me put the game down at the 30 hour mark.
Do really like the game though.

hello, sorry to bump this old thread but I dont have thread starting privileges yet. I started playing YS VIII on PC and thought it would be another average rpg. Boy, I was wrong, this game is a diamond. The setting, the story and the gameplay are all pretty damn nice. How did I miss this?

Don't worry, many people didn't buy it or play it. I remember getting this day one and was enjoying it until the end then I got depressed...

I paid good money for this Dynex!
They never fully fixed the PC version, did they? I'm guessing the PS4 version is still the better of the two?

playing the PC version now in 4K without any bugs or crashes. So I guess they fixed it?

Darkness no more
I didn't expect much going into it last year. It ended up being one of my favorite games that I played that year.

I'm also playing it right now and I DID had a couple of Crashes, both during cutscenes. The good news is that they are rare, and since the game is so light, and it autosaves often, going right back felt almost instant.

Are there any added or improved visual effects in the PC version, though? Like, I remember that there were effects missing when it launched. I have it on both systems, so I've gotta decide which one to actually play at some point

Weird. I am 20 hours in and not a single crash.
Graphics looks really bad, like PS2 called and wanted their textures back. But i dont really care since it is enjoyable.

I agree that Ys VIII is also what got me into the Ys series. However, after playing Ys I & II (on PC), I really like the bump-combat a lot more than the more "modern" combat. The bump-combat elicits a flow that I would almost compare to a meleé Shmup, if that makes sense. I feel that got lost when Falcom started to use more conventional combat. But that's criticism on a fairly high level, Ys VIII is still a very good game.

PS4 got a variety of enhancements over the previous year's Vita version.
I'm not familiar with the PC port.
