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

[morrison22]

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.

I've played the demo on Vita and loved it, however if you want to play it now, get the PS4 instead.

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.

PC if it's really that bad.

the PC version is broken right now, NISA killed the game,

 

[FierceDeityLinkMask]

Switch version is alright, beat it on pc too.

 

[morrison22]

I haven't had any issues with game play on the Switch version yet and I am almost 20 hours in. Runs smooth as butter for me.

Well if that's the case, then they get nothing from me. Don't have a PS4, and don't intend on owning another one anytime soon.

I cant decide which platform I want to play this game on now... every platform has its advantages.

Ya playing on the switch screen performance issues arent really even that noticeable, its like they have some sort of gsync like feature.

But you have a PS4, Xbox1 and PC right.

 

[Kioku]

But you have a PS4, Xbox1 and PC right.

Negative. If it's in my sig, it's no longer true. Sold my PS4 a year ago.

 

[Lazyboss]

Anyway, I won't touch it until the Japanese voice DLC released for the switch.

I've never played a YS game before. They're all disconnected from one another right?

From my limited understanding it's sorta like Zelda. Jump in at any time. I had no trouble following what happened here, but going back and playing other titles could give you a better appreciation.

I heard it's 60fps on the PS4 but it feels choppy. Is it 30fps on the Switch?

Ys is just an amazing series in general!!!

Nope, you can start with any entry in the series really.

I only ever played in docked mode so I have no comment for handheld mode.

30 FPS on switch but it’s not choppy for me. I played docked as well.

Ys 8 is fucking excellent. My personal favourite Ys game. But yeah, if you want the best version, play it on PS4.

PS4 > Switch > Vita > PC... (Why...)
