I just recently got back into Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes, so I gotta agree with you. I feel stupid for giving up on this game so quickly back when it first released. I still need to finish Trails into Daybreak, too, especially since Daybreak 2 comes out in January I think. Lastly, I never finished Visions of Mana and I don’t know if I ever will.

i was same and eventually gave in and played 8. I didn't like it the first time. But one bored winter day i tried it again cos had nothing else and ended up being hooked on it massively.

@dycu Час назад

Like the other said start with YS VIII. It has an old school linear adventure vibe with some freedom in each chapter. The story is what drives you to see the true ending. If you're human, you'll shear tears at the main story. P.S. If YS ever became an open sandbox world like Zelda did I'll probably never finish it as I forget why I want to see the ending. When gameplay overstays they welcome and the story doesn't drive you, you change game.

@NeoSonicStrike 3 часа назад

I'm very hyped for Ys X, I preordered the collectors edition. Ys my favorite running video game franchise right now, I'm glad Falcom has shook things up with the battle system as well as the exploration. I'll know illp drop whatever I'm playing the moment I have this game in my possession, even though there are some great games that are out around the same time like FF anniversary collection, Metaphor, Romancing SaGa 2. Just a great time to be a fan of JRPG'S.

I'm behind on the Ys series but I just got a PS5. I'll try to get my hands on this game asap! Too bad on my region this title is very pricey and I'm afraid we may run out of copies... At least I still have VIII and IX to finish. Oh, and I think it is proper to say, you were the one that put this series on my radar wayyyy back in the days!

@mattmaddogwheaton4724 3 часа назад

Johnny, you really should be talkin' about the Legend of Heroes: Trails games. These games are some of the best JRPGs I've ever played with some of the best storytelling and world-building that is damn near Xenogears caliber at times even. Trails of Cold Steel 1 to 4 are especially Xenogears esque even.

So stoked on it finally coming to the West! Got the CE preordered. Hate this month is soooo stacked tho lol. I pray Ys V Remake is after this. Also people should know while you can play Ys games without playing earlier ones. You most definitely can with this one bc it takes place super early in Adol’s adventures vs Ys IX which was when he was the oldest

@jorgealfy 2 часа назад

Ive only played Origins, the DS ports of 1&2, 8 & 9 and I’m super stoked for 10. Also waiting for the remake of 3 next year and then try to get through the rest of them.

8:14 love this quality of life update. No more leaving town, doing the smallest task, & having to retalk to every single person in town to find out what's new. I can't remember if Nox or Lacrimosa had this feature, but there are plenty of games without it. I appreciate it.

@bba219 23 минуты назад

I've noticed a play style evolving in JRPGs, hard to explain, but I almost think of it as "fast-forwarding" your adventure, or that our brains are able to handle soooo much interaction that games like FF14, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and also Ys X it seems have this flow state where you're just cruiiiiising through content moving quickly, having so much fun, lots of clicks, etc

After all these years I've been saying Dogi's name wrong. When I was little I thought it was like "Doggie" but after reading the Katakana at 0:32 it's more like "Doe-Gi" and you say Gi like in a Karate-Gi or "Ghee." 😃

@Bargadiel 32 минуты назад

Have had my pre-order for awhile now. I need to wrap up Ys 9 before I start this one, but overall I'm new to the Ys series and appreciate how simple it is. The games don't end up shattering the genre or anything but gameplay and story is always solid.

@Feelin_DanDy 2 часа назад

I came into this series thanks to Johnny. I started with the first one and went all the way through the series in order. I still think current Ys deserves better, but I do understand they are on a budget. But yea, the music needs to be explosive and hearing average tracks just doesn't cut it for me either. And the thing about it too is these games never have a good sale on Steam, which is understandable. I just can't justify paying a high price tag for these (I also haven't played Ys IX yet either, too expensive), I stopped after 8. My heart will always belong to the older Ys titles (minus Ys V lol), but I still would like to just try these someday, but give me AT LEAST 50% off first.

@scottwhite9609 10 минут назад

Man, on the graphics topic. I actually wish more developers would scale back graphically to ensure clean looking images at 60 fps. So many games right now (looking at you FF 16) come out looking beautiful in screenshots but without even a smooth 30 fps. So I love the trails and YS stuff being scaled back if it means I can more reliably run the games at a locked 60 or above.

Ya it seems Ys 8 was their high mark, and that game with its island setting was indeed beautiful, and the story was great. Seems they kinda have to chase that from now on, and its a high bar to reach. 9 being stuck inside for alot of it, and that giatn gray bleak city just didnt feel great. Honestly I loved 8, and Celceta the most so far. The lost jungle setting of celceta was great! But im excited to get into this. So no party, or other playable character like the previous? I assume they got rid of the slash, pierce, and blunt weakness system of enemies then?
