Gaming "Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA" Great Game!

Well for the PS4 I go then... after I'm done with all other crap

”PS4 > Switch > Vita > PC”

When you played Ys VIII on each of these systems long enough to make a fair judgement, what was it in your personal experience that made you rate them in the order that you indicated above?

I have not played or seen gameplay of the Vita version but it's probably better than the mess that is the PC version...

PS4 looks and plays the best, Switch is portable and looks very good, Vita I don't know but it can't be as bad as PC and it is portable, then there's the PC version...

(Why...)

i know, but due the problems now on the switch version (performance issues), i suggest to get it on PS4, unless you want to play on the go.

the preformance isnt that bad...

The last Ys game I played was "Ys III: Wanderers from Ys" on the SNES. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Now, for the Switch, I am playing and taking my time with Ys VIII. I am 18 hours in and still on Chapter 2.

It's a very fast paced action/adventure/rpg that I can easily pick up and play portions at a time. I feel it borrows from the tv show LOST as there are some similarities, but I don't mind that. The fact that they introduce you to new techniques and game play elements as you play even hours into the game is mere genius. Keeps things fresh! I am having a blast playing it! We need more games like this for Switch.

The last game I was interested in playing long-term (over 100 hours) was BOTW. Aside from that, there hasn't been anything I noticed, until now. I wonder what else is out there.

Id recommend u to try xenoblade 2 if u already didnt.

The pc version would be the best version, but it crashes for some people.

It would have been if NIS had not been in charge of porting it to PC

There are still many issues they have not fixed

So if you were to pick between Xenoblade 2 and YS VIII which would you choose?

I only ever played Ys VIII, so I can't say, but I am loving it and having a very fun time. I also heard the overall battle system in Ys VIII is a better experience than in Xenoblades 2, but I have not had a chance to experience it for myself yet.

 

[Bladexdsl]

is it as buggy as the fucking pc version?

I never played the PC version. Just switch. And it works just fine. Play it and enjoy it. It’s a great game.

Ark Of Naphistim was AMAZING.

Still one of my fav games of all time.

God, I hope more devs go to Marvelous instead of Nisa.

You should try Memories of Celceta.

Or even try Popful Mail on Sega CD. (I know is not Ys but is also a Falcom game that deserves attention and I wish Falcom gave it some, like a new game.)

Now if they do a port of the lunar game on psp to Switch or pc, and also the sequel eternal blue, now we in business for RPG games on switch.

I never played the PC version.

and don't either you'll be lucky enough to even get the sound working

Ys. Admittedly I'm a big Ys fan but I feel if you're looking for engaging combat, Ys is the way to go. It's legit super fun, easily one of my favourite games of last year.

Xenoblade 2 without a doubt. It's a high caliber game, with higher production values compared to YS VIII.

But I would end up playing both. I already finished Xeno2, and now I'm waiting for my copy of Ys8 to arrive.

The Y's series is the one reason to own a PS Vita (its being able to also play the PSP titles.) And I am glad that one can now play Y's VIII on the Switch.

 

[morrison22]

I am just starting Chapter 4 of Ys VIII after 30 hours of gameplay! This game is so much FUN! After I am done with it, I will move on to either Octopath Traveler or Xeno 2. But I love the Style of Ys III. Very fast paced!
