Love some Ys and I think this one has been recieved really well. I loved Origins, Chronicles, Oath, 7 and 8. This will be my next one.

Just hope it doesn't release in the same month as Metaphor!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looking forward to the western release (will probably pick it day 1 if they do a nice physical deluxe like this one).

 

[Thief1987]

Wow, that's pretty unexpected, I thought it would be 1H of the next year at best.

 

[Shifty1897]

Looks great. Give me that anime ship combat!

 

[Whitecrow]

Finally some good newwss

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Goddamn! Earlier than expected.

I'm finally playing through Memories of Celceta in anticipation of immediately following with Monstrum Nox. I just got into this series with Lacrimosa of Dana last year.

 

[Mitsurux]

This looks really good. Can't wait.

 

[Doom_master1122]

Ys X is a day 1 for me. Especially if there is a special edition. Can't wait to see Adol's latest adventure.

Huge fan of the series. I await the day they finally give Ys 5 its long deserved attention. The last game to never make it west, and the last game to not have a modern update/upgrade.

 

[RoboFu]

cool but that's pretty far away

 

[drganon]

Always down for more ys.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, looks like this one is more akin to VIII which was pretty great. I was very much underwhelmed by IX and don't finish that.

DF actually has a video on Ys X graphics which is pretty interesting.

 

[Arsic]

Depending on what releases same time frame I could see this being my first day one with this franchise.

This definitely seems like it'll be on par with 8 whereas 9 I bounced off in like 3 hours.

Yep, and we know Sony won't have any games in that time frame and Nintendo is likely gearing up for Switch 2 release.

 

[jshackles]

Will double dip for the US physical release.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Hell yeah, I only recently got into this series. Beat Origins last year + VIII around Christmas, and I'm just about at the end of IX.

Any recommendations what to play when I finish IX?

 

[Labadal]

Cool.

Still got to beat IX, though.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Only a year to localize this time! Amazing, great news!

Ys: Memories of Celceta If you haven't already.

Its not a ys game, but Tokyo xanadau ( also by falcom) is another good one.

 

[Skifi28]

Any ideas what improvements we can expect from the PS4 version?

I would assume the DF video posted above covers this.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm glad NIS is stepping their game up.

 

[Fbh]

Nice!.
Lots of people told me not to expect a western release before 2025, so this is great news.
Definitely picking this one up. IX was a bit underwhelming but this looks more like a return to the style of 8 which was amazing.

Celceta is on sale until tonight.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Celceta is on sale until tonight.

On what platform? Steam has it for $25 not on sale

 

[AmuroChan]

Trails through Daybreak and Ys X localized in the same year?!? What a year for western Nihon Falcom fans.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Finally. Getting PS5 and Switch physical copies for this series, like always.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

By the way the PC port is being done by Durante and his team so it should be great.

Man that Japanese one was special. This is nowhere near as epic,

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Apparently, it ended today. It was $13.49 on PS4. I bought it a few days ago.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I hate how NIS has been using digital soundtracks instead of including a disc. I mean, I am buying the game on disc, clearly I prefer physical media. Screw these mini art books as well. They just show the characters and a few stills. You look at it once, then never again. Either give a full art book or provide an actual manual.

Do it like Monstrum Nox. Come up with a cool name instead of just "deluxe edition", and include a CD.

 

[Sojiro]

Definitely picking this up, love me some Ys. I need to work through Ys IX before this drops lol.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Now sure why they did this, but hopefully it will get relisted on Steam soon!

Edit: They're back up.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Physical pre-orders for the deluxe have gone up!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[SALMORE]

my only concern is that the normal difficulty is too easy and the hard is extremely difficult ! just like the previous modren titles

 

[IAmRei]

My fave still older 00s era YS, especially origin and OoF. but i see this might be my chance to try modern YS again. Saw the game on last TGS and looks Awesome. The design is also better than 9 which i count as very different approach with the modern ys.

Anyway, as much as i love YS, i dont really like name Adol, its like slang name for little naughty boy in my country : )))

[Diseased Yak]

I haven't watched much in the way of impressions for this yet, but I'm hyped for it nonetheless. I loved VIII and felt IX was merely ok, but Nordics has me excited.

 

[mayham2199]

I haven't been able to get into this series and I really want to. Start 9 on PS+ but didn't go long just wasn't in the mood.

IX isn't that good, especially in the beginning.
VIII is much better and has a great sense of adventure. Memories of Celceta was also quite nice on PSV, but I'm not sure how it would play on a bigger screen, e.g. on a PS4.
Personally I cannot wait for X, it seems to be more similar to VIII and hopefully will be as great or better.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, looks like this one is more akin to VIII which was pretty great. I was very much underwhelmed by IX and don't finish that.

DF actually has a video on Ys X graphics which is pretty interesting.

I've rewatched this DF video today and I'll have to say that I'm quite impressed with the jump in visual fidelity from Ys VIII & IX.

Definitely gonna go with the PS5 version on this one. The OST looks to be a banger as well.

Day 1.

I will grab the Physical on PS5, that's for sure… and will get it on Steam later to actually play.

 

[RoboFu]

I hope they have worked all the bugs out by now. I remember 8 would crash constant on day 1.

 

[Vyse]

Hope to play this on my PS5 Pro!

 

[Vyse]

Played Ys Book I & II on my TurboGrafx back in the day!
