      @@legendredux1291 It's not as easy as whether they want to improve. Making realistic looking graphics cost a tons. There's a reason why SQEX decided to release FFVII: Remake in episodic format (hint: because they can re-use all the assets and engine).
      Falcom is just a middle size company. They cannot risk investing billion of dollars on developing cutting-edge game engine. Look at what is happening to CD Projek and its Cyberpunk. Even a company with track records of publishing multiple AAA games are still struggling to polish its most anticipated title even when it had been developed for more than half a decade. If that happened with Falcom, the company should have gone bankrupt.
      And I think the graphics from Ys III and IX don't look that bad (especially VIII). For me, I still prefer gameplay over graphics any day. If the graphics is not downright ugly to the point that I feel like vomiting, I'm fine the way they are.

    Johnny, unrelated to this video but I've always been curious to see you do a full review or in depth discussion for Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. You released a first impressions video at about 11% completion but as far as I know haven't talked about the game since then. It was my first Wonder Boy* game and I was living vicariously through your passion for the franchise at each moment they harkened back to days of old. It was one of those games that reminded me why a much younger version of myself fell in love with the hobby to begin with. Can't thank you enough for bringing these franchises to the forefront once more, as I've grown very fond of Ys and Wonderboy!
    All the best,

    • @Jordan3DS
      @Jordan3DS 4 роки тому

      What do you think of Ys Origins so far? Personally, I found it to be the low point of the series. Ugly portraits/character designs, poorly designed gameplay, and a lackluster translation that was literally bought from fan translators by the localization team. If you've never played them, I highly recommend downloading a PC Engine emulator and giving Ys I - IV on there a try, they're really damn fun! I love both modern Ys and classic Ys, but I think I'd have to give the edge to classic Ys.

    Great review!
    One note about the quest at the tavern: this might be a reference to another Falcom game, Nayuta no Kiseki. The cook in the tavern is terrible but keeps asking for hard to find ingredients.
    I think my favorite quest was the one where you had to find gold for some kids. At one point a soldier gets mad at you for finding one on castle grounds. An army general tells him off and apologizes to you. Later in the story you find out that general detests people who push others around because they can. At first it seems like a throwaway moment, but once you learn about him it makes sense.
    Also I think having a weapon type pyramid (each type is weak to 1 other) helps to learn the enemies and forces you to use all the characters. I find it odd that in the PS4 release they removed weakness prompts for enemies. If you hit an enemy with a weapon they are weak to the damage number is yellow. If they resist that type the number is purple. It becomes easy to see just from that.
    FINALLY: The Sacred Beasts' Lair music slaps on Vita.

  • @zankudragon
    @zankudragon 4 роки тому +5

    This is actually my favorite Ys from the ones I've played so far. I played it first on the Vita and I think I prefer it that way because the smaller screen and the portability really work well for this game. I think this would have been better on the Switch than on the PS4. But idk, there's just something about this game that really drew me in and I fell in love with. I really love the music and the characters. I think logged about 40 hours back on the Vita, after doing everything from 100% the map, the sidequests, and crafting the ultimate weapons.

      @@rambact5769 I agree, it all depends on the art style. I really dislike it when people say "3D > 2D, better textures = better graphics" when that's not true in the slightest. A lot of modern games go for a very bland, lifeless style that has no charm or value to it, meant to be functional and nothing else. I also feel that the switch to HD brought some really ugly lightning engines that make some games look 10x worse than they could look for some reason. I'll always judge a games visuals by how appealing they are, graphical fidelity has no meaning.

    I have got into the Ys games and completed all the older 2d ones, and just recently started memories of Celcata, so this is the 1st 3d Ys game I've ever played.
    Imo, it's great. It's such a huge step up from the previous games, not trying to say anything bad about the older games in the series.
    It brought back some recent memories for me. I have been hardcore into the Trails Series and having completed the Liberl Arc and half of the Crossbell Arc started Trails of Cold Steel 1, and because I had got accustomed to the graphics of those older games, was left in something of a stupor.
    I'm quite torn in regards to the graphical differences between the Cold Steel games and everything that come before it.

    It's the first Ys game I played on the Vita and I think it is a very good action RPG. I love the characters and the music is awesome. I do not care about the old graphics, but it seems that the framerate has been improved at least. Anyway it is a great introduction to the modern style of Ys games !

    Memories of Celceta, Mask of the Sun or The Dawn of Ys?

    • @SpeedsterBlur
      @SpeedsterBlur 4 роки тому +1

      8 is such a high point in the series that I honestly would recommend avoiding it to start. Also there's a loose connecting narrative in all of the games.
      Anyways start with oath in felghana (avoid any version of ys 3 like the plague) or origin. Origin has some plot connections to ys 1 and 2 as its set like 100 years in the past. Origin is also the only ys game on Xbox one.
      Ys 1 and 2 (play 1 before 2 as they're both connected and ys 2 continues where 1 left off) are a bit strange to play, but ultimately fun.

    Does it still look blurry like the PSVita version? I remember playing this back in 2013 and was somewhat turned away because of the blurry resolution. This was after coming from Ys7 for the PSP which (somehow) looks better than Memories of Celceta for the Vita. Just from your footage, I see that the graphics still looks blurry somewhat, hopefully it's just my eyes deceiving me. I would definitely love to pick this game up and finally complete it.

    I recently unlocked the platinum trophy for this game, and it took forever. I couldn't find the one resource point, and I had to play through roughly 70% of the story for the last trophy. I enjoyed my time with it. It's not as good as Ys VIII, but it's definitely worth investing your time into. Great review!

    I pretty much feel the same as well! Memories is probably my least favourite in story, music and setting; it’s a good game however it leaves a unsatisfying feelin when u beat it compared to the other YS games. I hope Falcom ditch the party system they’ve been doing now and do something new for YS X like a solo adventure with adol would be cool

    • @zetablade7018
      @zetablade7018 4 роки тому +1

      Agreed, it's the weakest of the party system games. They somehow managed to make the soundtrack worse than the PC-Engine version (even leaving out a number of songs).
      Oath in Felghana is a considerably better remake.

      The games are all self contained besides Ys II (which starts immediately after Ys I's cliffhanger), so you can start anywhere that looks the most interesting to you. I would kind of recommend getting a PC Engine emulator and playing Ys I - IV on there, though, since it has the best versions of those games with godly music, and they're all really short (you could beat all four of them in the time it takes to beat Ys VIII).

    I played the vita version back in 2014 and think I made a mistake playing it on hard mode. The enemies are so much more damage spongey than Ys Seven on the same difficulty setting, and I got fatigued and quit when I had 3 dungeons left. Still wanna go back and give it a full run cause it's not a bad game by any means, I did enjoy it.

      If you played the older ys games then play ys 8 you are going to be pissed.
      The prequels are about the kingdom of ys and the civilizations of the eldeen , where were they when the lacrimosa happened? The dragon gods of altago where also made irrelevant because of the lacrimosa. The story of ys 8 should have been the final story of Adol's adventure since you cannot top meeting the world creator goddess.Any story they come up next might be meh..
