I panicked for a second thinking I had missed the North American release of Ys 10. Ys 8 is easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time, so I’m absolutely stoked to play this one when it comes out over here
No worry, ys 10 is JUST OKAY... Even if u would miss 10, as far as u played masterpiece 8 and fun 9, you are all good. I'm very disappointed due to my high expectations lol (Just finished game 100% completed w hard mode on PS5; no platinum trophy yet. Asian ver btw).
@@Truth-Freedom-Justice what about is disappointing? Genuine question :o
@@Truth-Freedom-JusticeWe’ll see when we get the NA release. Thus far, not a single Ys game has disappointed me, and I’ve played through Origin, Celceta, Oath in Felgana, 6,7,8 and 9, so I’ve got high hopes
I cant imagine 10 to be disappointing. People said 9 was disappointing and honestly it was a really good game, it just wasn't 8 levels of good.
@@landonmathews6111 As a YS fan, maybe I was too hyper excited and expected too much lol. So imo it's disappointing based on my high expectation =P
I first tried Ys with ys 8 because of you and now many years later it’s one of my all time favorite series. Thanks for this!
As I have said before Johnny, thank you so much for introducing me to Ys! Way to keep this series alive. Can’t wait for it to come stateside!
Without you I would not know Ys, it’s a simple as that. And I’ve really enjoyed them! VIII is definitely my favourite! I love seeing you come alive when you talk about these games John!
You introduced so many people to the Ys series and, with me being one of them, I am forever grateful.
Love this! Been a fan of Ys since I played origins years ago and went thru all the games. Definitely gonna be checking this one out when it comes out in English
I am crazy excited for Ys 10! I am playing through all the games right now. I am almost done with Oath in Felgana. Ive played through almost every game and have already beaten 8 and 9. It will be interesting to see how this fits in to the story of the earlier games.
Of this saga, my first entry was Ys 8. Loved it! Played Ys 9 and I was officially a fan of the series.
Thank you for introducing Falcom to me. Aside from YS, i love 'The Legend of Heroes' series, do you?
He already said one of their RPGs was just kind of okay in a past video. Only mentioned it in passing. I think it was a games we've been playing episode. Basically, he's not that into it.
just goes to show how different tastes are, cause I think Ys doesn't even remotely come close to reaching the highs of the legend of heroes series, although to be fair its definitely way harder to get into the kiseki series, cause there is just so much (frankly a bit too much) story, lore and worldbuilding.
and this is coming from somebody who usually generally prefers action combat! Though I do think Ys VIII is a fantastic game as well.
@@AlkonKommyeah, i love Ys. i haven't played trails, but it looks like it has too much dialogue and explaining for me. I think good world building in a game (vs. a novel) doesn't need that so much. So the supposed strength of the game still doesn't make sense to me as i prefer world building in a different way. I might play trails some day. I'm actually playing Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails now, but that's more of an action RPG that is apparently pretty much not related to the other trails games. The parts of the game that are now dialogue heavy get a bit tiresome for me.
The legend of heroes is one of my favourite game series - I always look forward to the English translations
Those are the YS graphics like Zelda beautiful colours like an artwork 👍
Not realistic movielike
First discovered this channel thanks to your Ys coverage. Your positivity is infectious: keep keeping the internet a happy place 💪
EXTREMELY excited for YS 10!!! After finishing 8, 9, and Celceta, I’ve been waiting so long for the newest installment! Thank you for the preview, it helps with the wait. Keep up the great work!!
This looks pretty fantastic. So happy that you were able to import Ys X. Thank you for taking the time to help us to understand what to expect with this one.
was wating for you to do a review 😊 you are the reason how i got into Ys series and i ❤ all ! thank you !
Very excited. Also hoping we get the port of Oath in Felghanna on the switch too.
it has been announced already.
@@joe_razor really? That's great! They given a release date etc?
@@joe_razor just had a look and can't find anything about a western release just a JP release
@@marcrics you are right, it hasn't been confirmed for a western release. Just the port itself has been confirmed. Sorry for the confusion.
awesome show! thank u for helpin me get thru the day
Can't wait to play this! Thanks for the early peek HCG!
I love this channel so much, even games like this I dont personally care about I just love listening to John talk about them
Can’t wait to play this game . Watching your videos and hearing you talking about ys got me into them. Iam glad i listen to you because I absolutely have become a ys fan play 7,8,9 and soon 10
Thank you for speaking about this game, I'm so stocked for the occidental release, I'm finishing YS 9 meanwhile
I was hoping to see your thoughts on this. Your Ys videos convinced me to try VIII, which I adored. I've played a bunch of the other ones now, but the modern Ys games are really my speed (I loved IX as well). I can't wait for the English localization for this one! Looks super fun
You really had me going with that screenshot. I got all excited for a second. I was like “how in the world did I miss this?” lol. I recently finished Memories of Celceta, so this will be a nice follow up to that. I loved Ys 8 and 9 and I am really excited for Ys 10. You gonna check out AC Mirage? I don’t know where you stand on AC games, but this one is really good and it reminds me a lot of AC 1 which I loved.
Thanks for the advance review of the game, really exciting stuff to look forward to!
Omg I'm so excited for Ys X!! I just love the series as a whole and have been playing it since waaay back on snes with Ys 3.
I knew about 1 and 2 then just didn't have a way to play them till years later.
Now I just need Ys V and I'll be happy
The hallmark of an Ys game is that luscious, fluid action combat, and this looks like it will deliver there in spades.
That it does!
Thanks for the update!
I am really looking forward to the western release and I also hope that they bring over the Oath in Felghana switch version when they do! Currently working my way through Ys 9. I fought a really tough boss there which made me want to replay Ys 8 xD
Awesome video. I can't wait to dive into another Ys game, it looks great.
Never played a Ys but always been curious and I typically dig this Nordic stuff - anxious for some reviews.
The graphics in this game are a huge step up from past games. Its not "realistic" like AAA games always try to be, but the lighting, cinematography, animations, and even level designs is clearly a big upgrade
If only something like Xenoblade could get even half the lighting engine and horsepower from a PS5/PC that this game does, would be mind-blowing. JRPGs the past few years have really leveled up their art design and fidelity after being fairly stagnant from the PS3 generation through the PS4 generation
Still looks like a PS 3 game though
I respect the dedication. Way back in the day I made a japanese xbox account to play dark souls 3 slightly early, in japanese. I used a translation app to help me get through the UI options! So I get it. I can't wait to play Ys X, honestly tempted to do what you did
Can’t wait!!🔥
I came back here when I saw the news about the Western release! All of my Ys interest comes from you
I've had the PS5 version of YS 8 on my shelf since it first released and played about 20 minutes of it before putting it down. With the announcement and your video on X I finally decided to actually give 8 a proper go and it's incredible. It really lives up to praise I've seen it get all over the place! I am eagerly awaiting Nordics Western release!!
I've been glued to the Ys series ever since the TGCD days. I can't wait to own this too.
haha, I was waiting for you to mention THE SHIPWRECK, but this time is different, whoa!!
Glad you're enjoying it, it is reassuring! Hopefully it does not take long to localize!
Can’t wait for this to be localised!! You got me into the Ys series!
It’s gonna be at least 2 years of wait lol
1 of my most anticipated games for me, probably top 3. just like you, I can play an Ys game every year if they do that. thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for Ys (and other games too!) on your channel. your positivity and enjoyment and honesty about games emanates to your viewers. wishing you and your family the best as always.
Thanks to your channel I’m a huge Ys fan now!
I found your channel like days after I bought Ys 8 and I watched you video in it and I was like oh this guy knows what the Ys series is? Haha good times I alway associate you with the Ys series thanks for the video Johnny! Consider us pumped!
I’ve been waiting for this video from you ever since this game was announced
The only place to watch a right review from Ys series. Nice Johnny!
Definitely very much appreciate and enjoy the YS series and it’s all thanks to this Chanel ❤❤
Yes I’m excited for YS X however I will wait and see if the game gets an English dialogue version as I want to be able to enjoy the story as well as the gameplay.. thanks for the video
Great video quality mate! 🎉
When i was in Japan the ads for Ys 10 were so cool!
This made me really excited for Ys X. Looks like it's going to give a similar feeling to Ys 8 as you say, which is great!
Thanks for the preview / review. Want to get into the series.
Hyped for this!
Happy Sunday 😎✌️
@Happy I love and adore how your fandom for this franchise, and for the jrpg genre in general. Best to you, Kim and your little one :). As for me I have always liked the Ys games they are in my top 10 of the jrpg franchises but my favorite three are Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and the Suikoden games.
Man I can't wait to try this. Loved Ys VIII and my Fav is Ys IX. Cant wait!!!!
love your work.
I had a Japan trip that coincided with the release of YS X so I brought it back and while it kinda sucks to have to run everything through google translate I am really loving YS X. Feels really cool playing a game probably a year and a half away in the US. Having played a lot of the games on the Vita, YS X looks so good. I can’t wait to double dip when it comes to America!
I been a fan of your channel since 2017, and I'm looking forward to playing Ys X. I pre-ordered the Adol Christin Limited Edition, and i can't wait to do an unboxing video of it.
Live been subbed since high-school, and I graduated college. You're my favorite youtuber. If you ever stopped, I'd make happy fun videos like this. You rock
I got YS9 because you liked it so much in your review.. hated playing the game but I did finish it haha
Im starting Ys 8 today after watching your review on it, excited to see whats in store for me!
How was it man?
@@mihaicapra1108 Amazing, loved every second of it. unfortunately Ys 9 did not grab me the same way Ys 8 did i just didn't vibe with the gloomy theme.
However im REALLY looking forward to Ys 10! they seem to be going back to the tropical setting which i loved so much in Ys 8 so im gonna be picking it up for sure.
@@jackjohnson8305 nice man. Have you played one of the old ones ? I played and II they are good to . Now I dunno how and where to play 5
Loved your passion, the video got me really interested into playing the game
It will probably be my first ever Ys game to play ☺
I actually love scenery that reminds me of the ol' PS2, and PS3 days. This Ys game is a must for me. Thanks for the preview / first thoughts Johnny.
I can't wait for y's 10 ! Waiting for a us physical pre-order page to go up 😊❤
Hiya John ☺️ I am so ready for Ys X, and from your review here it looks awesome. Combat looks fast and fluid and l bet the story will be exceptional as well as the music.
Very much looking forward to when this gets a western release and it will be a day one purchase for me.
Anyways, all the best to you, Kim and the wee one ☺️👍🏼
cant wait to come to us =)
I haven't played Ys in ages (I'm talking "Wanderers from Ys" era here), but this looks amazing. I need to jump back in, I think!
Placed an order to import this game yesterday (it was my Birthday, so I thought why not? I've imported other Ys/Trails games in the past). I am really looking forward to diving in :)
Thanks Johnny for another great Ys video. You introduced me to the masterpiece that is Ys 8, so it's cool to see you're still out here spreading the Ys gospel, lol. We're around the same age so I remember playing first Ys on the Turbografx and being blown away by hearing voice acting for the first time in a console game. Ys 10 does look a little like 8 so it's great to hear you say it reminded you of that game.
love the Ys8 and Ys9 music in the background of this video, the soundtrack is fucking godlike and i listen to it on spotify all the time
I love to see your passion for the Ys series. I'm definitely excited for Ys X Nordics as well but, i need to get caught up on the series as I've only played Ys Origins so far.
You have a lot of great games ahead of you. You have probably heard that VIII is among the best.Just just to that one.Prepare for one hell of a title.
@@protolegacy9184 Pretty much everyone says Ys VIII is the best. I'll probably play some of the other titles first because of that reason. I'm definitely looking forward to playing more of the series.
Memories of Celceta's another good one (and one I heavily prefer to Lacrimosa and Nox), would definitely recommend playing it when you get the chance, goes on sale pretty often regardless of platform too
@@Vexal50 I actually have that one on vita and was thinking that will be the next Ys game that I play.
@@90shandheldgamerAn Oath In Felghana is amazing. I have a hacked Vita which you can play a ton of Y's games from the PSP generation and also to Origins,Ys 7, Celceta and Y's 8 .
The games play so natural on the Playstation Vita hardware , a true handheld experience. Yes its older but worth the money imho.
I love the old school bump Ys. I really need to catch up and play the recent ones.
I have only played one Ys game, and that was Ys Origins. But this game looks amazing. I think I will definitely get this.
Man your excitement makes me want to play it even more.😄
Looking foto this, I’ll probably import this too! I started with Y’s ark of napishtim on ps2 and have loved the series ever since. Ship mechanic looks sweet and the battle system too!
I'm really excited for Ys X. The first Ys I enjoyed was Ys VIII for Switch. Can't wait for the English version.
super excited for the worldwide release!! the changes to the party and combat system seem like a great thing for the series
Looks great. I'm considering importing it too and using translate here and there to make some sense of it.
Oh, my. My hype just skyrocketed with your video! My first Ys was Celceta myself but since then I've played them all. After Lacrimosa, at first I was a bit disappointed with Monstrum Nox but after giving it time and letting the story grow and the gameplay expanding, I ended up really enjoying it so here's to Nordics making it to my top 5 of 2023! 💪🔥
I also played Ys first on the Master System and later when I got my Turbo Duo!
Ys has always been about a decent story, lovable cast of characters, an amazing soundtrack, awesome level design and most importantly good ass action n crazy good bosses. Ys X seems to be going back to some of its routes and giving a deeper dive to what makes it special, and I can't wait for it (copefully end next year after daybreak!)
I remember watching you talk about YS VIII when it was new, and that doesnt seem like it was too long ago. 😅
I'm currently working on finally finishing Ys 8 after dropping it midway through a few years back. I also recently finished Ys Book 1 on the turbo, before getting stuck in Book 2. Still need to go back and try to figure that out.
Waiting on the translated version gives me some time to finish my current backlog of Ys games.
Oh maaaaan the video I've been waiting for. Been tempted to import this for a while now but was holding out for a UK version. This video has made me want to risk importing now 😅
Thanks for showing this off! Absolutely loved Ys IX. Can't wait for this!
I love your enthusiasm. It makes me love games even more. I have to figure out a way to stop playing modded Skyrim so I can play these new games.
I'm really excited for this one. I live in Japan so I could get it easily, but my backlog and the general gaming landscape is so packed for me right now that I'm going to wait to play it in English. I'm liking what I'm seeing though, especially the naval exploration, combat and island environment. This will be my 4th game in the series after 8, 9, and Origin.
I can’t wait for the English release!!
Cant wait to play this. loved 8 and 9
Thank you for your opinion on this video! Love when your excited about Ys 10
I haven't played any Ys game other than messing around with one my friend had back on the TurboGrafx back in the day. I did pick up Ys VIII for the PS5 based on Johnny's recommendation but I haven't got around to playing it yet. Will probably grab this one as well once it comes out in North America as it looks great.
Having a blast with the combat gimmick this time around. I hope more games look into the fixed two character tag-team style they showed here.
Been a huge fan of Ys since Wanderers from Ys, and I just ordered a copy. I'll buy it again when it comes to NA, but I simply cannot wait to play this.
I love how this game looks and feels! I can't wait to play YS Nordics! Thanks for the video as always!!
Very excited, I'm recent y's fan but i got the 3 on switch and will get any i come across on switch
I’m very excited for ys 10 I’m getting it this week
I loved IX and I’m looking forward to playing this as well.
10 wow love this series thanks for the info amigo
I’m so stoked for this to come West. Happy it’s not disappointing at all!
Falling into after YS II and before Celceta , am glad I played all this crazy lore...wishing there is lot of reference🎉
Loving the look of the battle in this one-especially the blood squirting out of the enemies 😂
I really need to get around to playing Ys IX before this comes out in the west. Have had the collector's edition sealed, waiting for the right time to play it.
I love this channel. I feel right at home because I am a Ys lover. This weekend I played the TG 16 version of Ys Book I and II. The Music and voice acting get me every single time. I still think it is better than a lot of games that are out today. Just my opinion. I am very excited for the North American version of X. Thank you for your review!
Ive heard of this series from time to time but I never tried it out or even looked into it, however looking at what you showed it does peak my interest so I might try it out, though joining a series late into its running can complicate an experience so maybe i'll have to play some of the older games before Ys X.
Play Ys 8 for sure. Origin and Oath on PC are great games to jump into and play
If you worried about stories, don't be. Ys story never really connected with each other. Each games is it's own story and new characters except adol and maybe his best friend dougi
If i remember correctly my first ys was on snes. Ys 3 i think? Wanderers from y i think it was called.
