Ys Origin | REVIEW (Nintendo Switch)

- Опубліковано 18 бер 2021
- Ys Origin is a fantastic game, detailing the beginning of Ys. After Ys 8 I kinda turned sour toward Ys but now I'm back to loving it, hooray! ...Still not playing Ys 9 tho. Ick.
"Following a devastating demonic invasion, the twin Goddesses use their magic to bring the inhabitants of legendary Ys safely into the sky. While the demons work to construct Devil’s Tower and reach the humans’ new abode, the Goddesses disappear. As a mighty warrior or a cunning mage, you must seek the Goddesses in Devil’s Tower. With your swordsmanship and spells, can you banish evil from the land of your ancestors?"

#YS #YSORIGIN #NINTENDOSWITCH - Ігри
Hi! Hello! Happy Friday! See Falcom Hive? I don't dislike all the Ys games. Just Ys 8.
I thought you hated Ys 9
@@SilverShion i mean I hate the demo. I feel its wrong to say I hate the entire game because....I've only played the demo.
Oh man, so the question of which story of Ys Origin is canon is actually a way cooler question that I think most people know.
The thing is, in the lore - none of the games actually really happen as you see them.
Since the very first game for the PC88, the lore has always been that the game you are playing is just a *novelization* based upon Adol's journals written over 1000 years after his death by a historian of Adol for a non-academic/general audience. This is why so many games, including Ys 8, start with a bit of text saying "Do you know the name Adol Christin?" - that is a segment from the introduction to that particular novelization. Lines like this tell you a bit about the world of these historians... And who still knows about Adol's adventures. Just academics, mostly. But they want people to remember. We know a bit more about the worlds of these people - they have rapid transport, the 'age of chaos, light, and darkness' that Adol lived in is over, magic has likely largely left the world, etc... This is revealed in bits and pieces here and there across many games if you look for them.
This has unique implications for a bunch of the games. Like, there are four different versions of Ys 4. Ys: Memories of Celceta, Ys 4: Mask of the Sun, Ys 4: Dawn of Ys, and Ys 4: Mask of the Sun - A New Interpretation. Each of these, canonically, is simply a different historical take on the exact same journal (that Ys 4 has more versions than any other journal kind of suggests it's the most popular Adol story in the contemporary timeline...)
Anyway, so Ys Origin is a bit weird, since it's not based directly on Adol's journals. It is likely pieced together from a lot of different sources, some of which certainly had to be Adol's journals. As a result, in terms of 'canon,' Ys Origin's three stories are likely three competing stories that are all entirely historically plausible, but which the writer lacks enough info to know for sure which is the msot likely. Then again, unlike other games in the series, it is not explicitly stated, to the best of my knowledge, that Ys Origin is a novelization - maybe it's the first, and only, time we get to see the real story? That, too, is uncertain.
Anyway, in that sense, all three stories are canonical. And none of them are. Heck, maybe it was written by an Adol truther, who left him out because he doesn't believe he ever existed.
@@magikarpblaster it'd be too sad if none are true.
But I like the fact that yunica's love interest doesn't did in Hugo's story.
I prefer it when a story like this has the different segments fit together into one story.
Came here on the recommendation of foodfordogs. Didn't regret it.
I was really happy you got a shout out from “Food4Dogs”. This video review was really enjoyable! Keep up the great work! I am also really excited for your Bravely Default 2 Review!!! I am a Huge Bravely fan and it’s always wonderful seeing more people talk about it :3
I feel water levels have good soothing music cuz devs just KNOW they'll be annoying! They're smoothing us up before handing the beatdown!
I actually really enjoyed the water sections of Ys Origin. It's just generally a very smooth-playing fun game to control.
I came here from Britta’s video about the game... great review!! I love how quick and concise you are, rather than going into every detail of the story for no reason (like some other reviewers). Awesome! Subbed 👍🏽✨
It makes me very happy to see you enjoy another Ys game. I can't explain in words how happy it makes me but know its a lot haha. I love hugo fact and 3rd character a lot because of the lines they are given
been playing Ys since 1990 with the Turbografx-16 CD version of Ys Book 1 and 2 was a big breakthrough in music, voice acting, and cut scenes in a videogame at the time. Ys Book 1 and 2 also had PC and portable versions, but for me the TG-16 CD will always be my favorite version.
The Turbo CD Ys games are amazing and 90% is the music...
Check the translation of IV if you haven't already.
@@anonamatron I actually own the Ys 4 Dawn of Ys disc, but never actually played it due to it being in Japanese. I should really look into the emulation scene for it translated. What really made the TG-16 CD Ys games so ahead of their time was the music and voice acting 30 years ago when we generally just had chip tunes and text.
@@hepwo91222 Pretty sure you can burn a disc and play on original hardware.
This is a slightly tricky patch though because there's two separate patches. One for the text and one for speech.
Or.... it's already patched on archive dot org. I was going to link you to the translation page, but just google dawn of ys translation and archive pops up already patched.
Origin was my first Ys game, and I was genuinely surprise by how much I enjoyed it. For me, the hardest part of stepping into this series with Origin is coming to terms with the disappointment that this is Yunica's only game. I found her to be such an endearing character. I would love to see her get one more go with another spin-off game.
Maybe a game where Adol travels to the past or something.
Same. I liked her quite a bit.
I was surprise but Hugo isn't bad either. I liked him.
Review came just in time! Literally just got my copy from Limited Run Games after 9 months
The water section is giving me flashbacks to the underwater section of Alundra, which consequently also has some awesome music to accompany it.
Great review!
I’m playing this right now with Yunica. Loving it! Good review!
Wow, that water level song is amazing!
Food For Dogs pointed me here. Loved your review. I found it honest and in depth enough for anyone to get a good feel for this game.
I'm a simple person.
I read Ys and I go directly to Spotify.
I finished Ys 2 right before going on a hiking trip and had the ost blasting while overseening beautiful landscapes, it was great :D
@@MakoMusicYT Ys Music totally embodies that sense of adventure.
Ys Origin is my favorite 2D Ys game.
I have played it (and buy it) soooooooo many times.
A tip for the bosses is that if your lv is not high enough, you can barely defeat them. The first boss Velagunder, for example, you will keep slipping off its arm if your dex is too low, and thus causing you issue to defeat the boss.
Roos' text can be translated into English. And if you are playing as the third character, boost into demon form can allow you to read their text box.
And welcome to the Ys wiki, I'm glad our works helped you know more about Ys lore (or confused you more XD).
I love Origin! So glad you reviewed it 😊
Nice timing! A friend is playing this game these days and was recommending it to me, I was really doubtful about it but after this vid it's got my attention. Also can't wait for that Bravely Default 2 review, I'm enjoying the battle system and job combinations so much right now 😍
Thank you Falcoms Finest, Ys Origin is by far the game I had the most fun. Lady Pelvic, happy to hear you had as much fun as I did. Go get ‘em Girl 😎👍
It truly is a truly charming game indeed
I have never played a Ys game but watching the melee combat in this video is mesmerizing so I think I will be picking this up.
I'm happy to hear that!! The combat is silky smooth!!
This channel is great. You cover a lot of my favorite games and you even shout out the PC versions of these games, which it feels like no one else does besides you and JRPG Jungle. As an avid PC + emulator only kind of gamer, primarily due to having some bad experiences with consoles, thank you for acknowledging us! Your reviews are fantastic!
In terms of Ys games, I'm not sure what you've already played, but I cannot recommend The Oath in Felghana and The Ark of Napishtim highly enough. They play JUST LIKE Origin and I think you may enjoy them more than the more modern style Ys games.
They're all currently on sale on Steam for the Japanese golden week sale until May 6 and are DIRT CHEAP. Many other fantastic JRPGs are also on sale.
Anyways, I'm definitely subbing! Cheers!
I'm a simple man, I see a new Pelvic video and I click faster than the speed of light.
Thank you for the review! I have this game in my library and this made me want to play it sooner now. Also, if I may say, I love your hair! Rocking!
This game has been on the wish list for a long time...
But not after today! Thanks for the recommendation! Great review ^_^
I'm glad you liked Ys Origin! I strongly recommend Ys: Oath in Felghana for a similar experience when you feel like hoping back into the series.
And then, if she has patience for the grind, The Ark of Naphisthim.
Solid game in the series! Glad you were able to enjoy this one!
started the game and found it wasn’t my cup of tea so i appreciate the review. “Dolls with big ass eyes” probably the best description I’ve heard so far lmao
and a bravely default vid next, just finished it 🔥
I couldn't get into the style of the series... I weirdly find myself bored despite all the things going on.
Love your reviews, awesome content! Music's nice 🤘❤️🔥
I really like your reviews, normally I avoid reviews that exceed the 5min limit but yours are very engaging and I love your enthusiasm. I hope one day we can smash.
That comment about water areas and the music was so spot on
Haha thank you! Just things you notice after playing several games!
New subscriber! Randomly watched your Suikoden reviews and wound up watching a ton more. Keep them coming, you're awesome!
Hey! Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the kind words. :)
Ys is on my radar now thanx to your videos because I've honestly never heard anything about this series. I used to see it in stores and stuff but was unfamiliar with the games.
Another great video, I'm informed now.
Its such an iconic yet underrated series ironically enough. Well worth the time spent on em
The Ancient Ys Vanished Saga and Origins are absolutely my favorite parts about the Ys games. They're like the root of all things that came together in the series and is more rich in story than the later titles. I'm just hoping that one day we can meet the Goddesses again in one final act.
I just realized I was unsubscribed from your channel for some reason (I was wondering why your vids weren't showing up on my feed) :( I'm glad you're back and I hope to see more vids from you!
I'm sorry to hear that BUT I am glad you're back! ♡
Thank you for supporting me!!
Liking and commenting just for the bot. Criminally under-rated channel, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much ♡
I'm so glad you liked this one! It does have some neat connections to Ys 1 and 2, but eesh, are they rough; Ys 1 on the SEGA Master System was my second Ys game ever, and it took me months to drag myself even as far as I got. I've heard that the Chronicles versions are better, even though they still have the bump system; I'll get there someday... Anyway, yes, great combat, great music, and cool environments; I have a thing for games that all take place in a single long dungeon, so a little bias there, but this one kept it fresh. I don't think I liked any of the characters in either of my playthroughs, but haven't played the third character yet. Since you liked this one, you may like Oath in Felghana and/or Ark of Napishtim, since they use the same basic engine; Oath in Felghana is a bit closer, but I liked Ark of Napishtim better, just because I didn't like a lot of what Oath in Felghana did as a remake of 3.
Discovered your channel from the podcast, great review and love your eye make-up! (I had to call my girlfriend over and tell her I wanted her to do hers like that, lol)
Waiting for that sweet bravely default II review. :D
Another great game review.
Oooo, you should play 3D Dot Game Heroes! 😂🤣
Love your face....
Great video! I’m not sure if this one is for me but MAYBE. I think I’m going to go with the game I already own first (Celceta) and see how I feel!
Hope you enjoy celceta!
Great review! Thanks.
I just started this last night. It was near to see the nods to the first two games
Bruh, you'll never know the satisfying feeling of bumping your enemies into oblivion.
Good video, btw.
Excellent review! Actually I'm on the 3rd play with Toal and I'm on the way for the Platine (soon "nightmare" for the 3 and the Boss mode awaits me...a little painful but when you love...lol) This is my first Ys game but I'm completely seduced by the franchise since 2006 with Ark Of Napishtim and Oath Of Felghana in the same vein like this one. I remember to listen the awesome soundtracks and saw some Playthroughs but never had the chance to play them on console until 2020 on Ps4 with Origin. Lacrimosa and Monstrum Nox seems excellent too with more open world and I plan to do them soon. For me Origin is clearly a fantastic game, not perfect for some of the reasons you evoking but what an ambiant and personnality in this game...and what can I say about the soundtrack, just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! One of my favorite of Ys games for sure. I'm a agree for Yunica, she's very attaching like Hugo. Toal is more difficult and technic to play but he's cool. Anyway thanks for the review which made honor to this gem!
How can someone not love Ys 8. I'm baffled
I looked up reviews on UA-cam of this game so I don't waste space pirating it and stumbled upon this channel after sifting through a bunch of shitty reviews with obnoxious reviewers and longplays. What a treat! I wish UA-cam would do a better job of recommending channels I'd actually be interested in watching.
I love the way you present your videos and the games you choose to review.
Wow! Thank you so much. I really thought you were about to trash me for a second haha.
You know I often wonder why we don't have more Ys games on switch it's a great game series and perfect on a handheld/home console
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Falcom's Finest gives this video his 🦭 of approval.
loved the bosses in this game
I have never played an Ys game but I loved this review. I was gifted one on Steam not too long ago, maybe I should give it a shot!
You are very lucky to have been gifted an Ys you have good friends if it was them who gifted it. I can't recommend em enough
Great review! loved the game, though I only played through it once (with Yunica).
OMG YOU MUST GIVE HUGO A GO. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AS A CHARACTER
I'm glad it wasn't just me that also got a bit tired of the repeated playthroughs not varying too much beyond "playstyles". I actually dropped midway through the 3rd character, having essentially just one new boss at the end wasn't a big enough carrot at the end of the stick for me to stick with it.
I heard in another video that your Mom played DnD. Your family sounds very interesting. I never have played DnD but one game I absolutely love is Baldur's Gate for Mobile and PC. It's a DnD adventure that you must play if you never have. It can be pretty unforgiving but that is part of why it's so good.
Great review! This game looks really fun and I definitely want to check the game out but I do have a few questions
1. Do you recommend playing the game on hard mode?
2. Does the game have voice acting? (this isn’t a big deal but I do just want to set expectations)
3. Aside from Ys 1 & 2, do you think it’s worth getting familiar with any other ys games or should I just jump straight into origins?
Hello!
1. Um...I have a hard time answering that because that really depends on YOU.
2. Nope!
2. Oh you can jump RIGHT into Origins! I think having additional knowledge will always prove beneficials but for what it's worth I've only played two Ys games (Memories of Celceta and Ys8) before playing this and I still enjoying it a lot. Couple it with Ys 1 and 2 oh man you'll get even more out of it!
@@PelvicGaming Ok, thanks! I’ll definitely check this out when I have the chance.
Ive always enjoyed water levels in games haha. It was a good review , even if Im not an Ys fan.
If you do ever play Ys I and II, I HIGHLY suggest the TurboGrafix CD version just for the amazing music.
You might enjoy Oath in Felghana and Ark of Napishtim even more as the gameplay is the same but it's not all one dungeon. You've got villages with NPCs who have their own little stories as well.
I've never tried any of these. Was thinking of trying the first ones because of Johnny aka Happy Console Gamer.
Same for me last year and now I've played through them all because of HCG's enthusiasm for the series and I'm hooked. Origin and 8 were my favorites.
If you own a PS4 both Ys Origin and Ys Memories of Celceta are currently on sale. So it's a good time to give at least one of them a go.
Woop hope you do and enjoy it!
Awesome review. I'm thinking of getting it right now for $7.99 in the Xbox store
Omg treat yourself! It's soooooooooooooo smoooooooth. The combat just feel satisfying.
I hope one day you play trails in the sky fc. It’s an amazing game but with a lot reading involved.
Not played any Ys games but have been thinking about them for a while, this one is both cheaper than the rest and on Switch so am definitely considering it now
Hopefully you enjoy it enough to play more!
Black lipstick hits different
I'm finishing up memories of celceta and it's a pretty chill game. But I LOVED Ys 8. I'm gonna have to go back to yoir review to figure out how you didn't like it haha
This game is just so awesome. How the heck did you not like Ys 8 though?
I think, Ys origin is one of the games that would really benefit from the party system of the newer games with a remake.
whos lets play did you watch?
If your getting into Ys I definitely suggest the Turbo CD Book 1 & 2 amazing games and of course since it's getting a switch port the remake of 3 called Oath of Felgella
oath in felghana is a great Ys game to play next if you haven't already :)
Falcom music tho. I'm not gonna say it's on par with or better than Final Fantasy music because that's a death battle for a whole nother time. But they definitely belong in that discussion of some of the best music in the JRPG genre.
Dude Ys I and II hits different when you play them! The boss fights are intensifying and because of the bump mechanic, when you defeat a boss it is rewarding!
Great review. You may be the only person on UA-cam who correctly pronounces the word "Ys". Most people say "ease".
But thats how she says it lol. Ease unless you pronounce ease differently in which case makes sense
@@TainoMoya "Ys" is pronounced "eece", as in 'fleece". Most people pronounce it "eeze", as in "freeze".
@@thewingedavenger1007 i legit pronounce both of those the same lol. Seems you pronounce em differently which is alright.
@@TainoMoya So do you also pronounce the words "zap" and "sap" the same way?
@@thewingedavenger1007 nah since that one is at the beginning it's easier to pronounce.
I really Details about this game
OMG I’m a new Patron of yours and I have to hide your post cards from my house mates.
Nailed it.
Indeed! Why do dreaded water levels always have the best tunes?
It' beacuse if they don't have at least that, then they are irredemable.
oath in felghana was amazing and trumps any of the more modern ones. i'll die on this hill
Still waiting for a top 10 jrpg villains list! I know you won't be able to choose just 5 😆
I really do wish Yunica and Hugo felt even more different, or, they actually explored different parts of the tower, I played through Origins with Yunica, had a great time, but could NOT get into it with Hugo, just too samey.
this ones my fav
Wow your hair has gotten so long 😍
I like this channel 😎
Thank you!

Is this digital only?
informative. - towtansua
Is this better than Oath in Felghana?
Way way better. Oath kinda sucks imo, the enemies and bosses are annoying as hell. Plus dungeons are too big imo. Ark and Origin are much better
@@Walamonga1313 lol... Oath > Origin > Ark. Ark actually sucked
To me Ys orgins it's that game I see I get interested and for get it's fun as hell but m gonna give it a good shake senice I liked celesta
Bad Shon. Go back to Among Us!
Yeah the water prison music is my personal favorite, and i always listen to it when I'm make new projects. And to me, Ys Origin is another personal favorite from the Ys Series. Sorry that Ys 8 left a bad taste in your mouth.
But i can't wait to see your thoughts about Ys IX. And Yunica is a great loveable character to me.
Yess best track!
Also I will not be touching ys9
@@PelvicGaming oh, its cool.
Ys XIV is definitely worth playing, it has a lot less of the bloat (gameplay variance) that VIII had and is super fun and actually has a good story for once. Predictable, but if you've played Tales of games you know to set the bar low for any JRPG story that comes after that. I went into it completely blind and didn't regret anything. Not sure where you heard anything negative about it, if by expands open the VIII combat you mean makes it better and more modern,.That's basically what I'd want from Memories of Celceta, which has somehow aged poorly already when compared to the PS4 era Ys games, In my opinion.
The Claw is a badass. My fave character of the 3.
Spoilers below on Read more.
I Like Quick swinging characters and
I a HUGE sucker for Beast, Demon Transformations , or Armored depending on the games like Wild Arms 2, Tales of Xillia 2, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold , SaGa Frontier 1.
You gotta play ys IX, I would go as far to say that it's better than ys VIII.
Food4Dogs brought me here :)
Hello and welcome!!
May-lay, not Me-lee
Getting a physical of Origins is rather pricey. It's from Limited Run. Just get it digitally.
Origin, Oath in Felghana and VIII are my favourites... but I guess some of games always get a lot of hatred (still don't understand why anyone would like Persona 5).
Why are water levels the most annoying to play through but have the best music? Because you need something to get yourself through it
Yeah the demo of Ys IX is not good.
I don't know what's happening there, but I think the issue for me is the FPS, is not constant at 60. The game looks worse than Ys 8, which is a lush game, but that's to be expected, the area was developed to be more "grim". I will play yeah, when it releases on Pc and I can like, play at 60fps because it's an action game, and I don't want to feel slow there?
i played and beat the game and had no problem with the framerates. The gameplay was smooth.
The demo also had some lock on issues. But its not in the final product
I find it funny that Vita didn't get an "even" but Xbox one did, given which console was still in production at the time. Goes to show just how little the Japanese market cares about the Xbox lol
This game has a few difficulty spikes
I’m not the biggest fan of dungeon crawler rpgs, I’m gonna pass but good review tho 👍
If I was to honestly ask you out what would you say? Because I live in Seattle and I don't mind flying you out. lmk. :)
ps. I love your hair
am I the only one that thinks origin is better than mostronaux?
