They're the same and on PS4 PRO it's even 4k/60. So not that painful going PS4 over PC, for me at least.
I don't know. lol

To differentiate between Vita and PS4. PS4 and PSV probably looked to similar.

My C.E. arrived today!
Was that only available through the NISA store?
In my case it's on the contrary. I wanted the game but I can't afford it on PS4, since my financial situation is somewhat dire for the rest of the year. The PC version is being sold at $509 MXN (or around $29 USD) so by necessity I'll be grabbing it there. I just hope that they don't fuck it up even further than what they already have done.
Yes. Totally would've gotten it if it was available at normal retailers, but NISA shipping for foreign countries is killer.
it was made to be used against all kinds of handhelds/consoles. it was originally developed with rodea the sky soldier in mind where the confusion originated because there's no other indicator what was actually shipped.
he's an npc.
Would prefer him playable in the party based games but eh, thats fine too.
As long as he's there!

I've put a couple hours in but had to stop due to Irma passing through and the lights have been flickering. Game is pretty interesting so far with a (naturally) fantastic soundtrack. I didn't think much of it when I played the demo but the inclusion of jumping made me realize how much I missed it in Seven and Celceta.
At least the LEs packaging is top-notch. Of all the Ys LEs I own (which is basically all of them save Origin) this is by far the nicest.
The localization so far isn't terrible but it is just... there. After playing Trails in the Sky I would have loved to have seen what XSeed could have produced here.

Now that's a damn nice box.
Omg fuck that. His design is awesome, I don't want to be stuck with that fat fuck who takes shits
Dogi should always be playable if he's aroundHe's busy with Cold Steel

Definitely going to pick this up at some point. I loved Celceta.

There's decent reason as to why he's a NPC, and besides, Sahad is a pretty cool character... even if he has no sense of decorum whatsoever. I ended up warming up a lot to him, he works very well with a couple other party members too.

That's quite disappointing. I can't help but to wonder whether this really was a last minute decision or something they've been planning for a while. Either way, I'll play it when it finally comes out. With any luck they'll sorts things out with the PC port rather quickly.

He's the 'cool grandpa who works as the middle ground and mediator between the two main cast who would otherwise quarrel constantly between themselves' trope.
Nah. He doesn't care. And neither does Adol.
Laxia gets over her trope-ness pretty quickly, too.

The CE is fantastic. No doubt one of the nicest ones I've gotten.

My CE still hasn't shipped. I'm pretty pissed off.
Mine was waiting for me when I got home, along with The Silver Case and Operation Babel! I ordered them at the same time, so I had to wait for them to ship together. :/ I was like 100% positive that I got the Vita version, but they sent me the PS4 game! Okay! I can still play it, so no big deal, I guess. Gonna be hard to finish it with a 5-month old, though! You

Yep, with occasional small dips when you're looking at particle effects point blank when fighting large groups.
I'm glad I didn't get to do this OT by myself after all, as I think I'd have gone with 'Tears of joy' for the OT or something (although I saw a couple days ago the Destructoid review went for that too -- but I've been joking like that ever since the Vita JP ver. came out, so w/e!!).
Would have needed to change it to 'tears of disappointment' after this delay. It stingssssss.

Fair enough, I want a ps4 pro to use my 4k tv, but I can't waste the 150 dollars required to get one
I got dips on the PS4 pro when killing boss-creatures. But that's the only time I got it.

Im pretty sure he's aware
Hopefully he gets paid well for working his magic. That is, unless he just does it for the challange and fun..
He had to of finished that already, lol.

Actually had a fan ask Falcom's president Kondo-san the question of "Why no playable Dogi?" at AX this year. His response is that Dogi is way too powerful and would have ended the adventure before it began.

I'm going to second this collector's edition being high quality. It's very nice.
The cloth is really cool and I like the acrylic print bookends a lot.
I see my avi in the background, lol
I posted this in the Steam thread, but I realized it would be good to post it here.
OK, I finally finished Ys Celceta. I was pretty meh on the game, but everyone is raving about Ys VIII. So, if these were my primary issues with Celceta, are they addressed in VIII?
- mindless hack and slash with little reward
The enemies were very easy to cut down. There were a lot of special abilities to unlock, but there really wasn't much strategy to using them other than mashing buttons and making chaos. And no loot drops, which are generally the benefit of this kind of gameplay, but I hear that's not in VIII either.
- little exploration
The map was pretty boring. I uncovered near 98% of the map just going to the obvious places. I think I found one hidden area. I hear there is jumping in VIII? Is it used to make getting around the world more interesting?
- normal was too easy
I know I could just bump up to hard, but that's not really my thing. You start on hard and things are fine, and then later on you wind up hitting a brick wall. But normal in this game was really easy except for a few bosses, and those could be dealt with by spamming potions.

Are you talking about Sahad? Cause he's awesome

I mean if you are going to complain it's too easy and mindless while playing on a easy setting while spamming healing items that's completely on you and no 8 doesn't adress that. The boss fights in ys games are pretty much the series shining star.
Like Ernst in 6 on nightmare is a freaking struggle but if you use healing items you can literally just mash attack and heal when needed.
World exploring in 8 is better than celceta
