Unlocked already? Quicker than I expected. Have fun guys, I won't be able to play jack-diddly until the weekend, maybe.
You can buy and play via GOG from anywhere in the world, so I recommend buying that if Steam gives issues.

15€ pricepoint in EU is pretty nice. Don't really have time to play it right now but I honestly just bought it to support XSEED. Love everything you guys are doing.

Hm...I saw that it was up and got excited, bought it on mobile. Spent 5 mins wondering why I couldn't remotely install on my computer and realized I didn't leave it on at home. Guess I can't play it immediately when I get home. =(
It should. Not "natively" (as in, you won't see PS-style button icons in-game or anything), but it should support it as an ordinary... DirectInput controller? XInput? I don't know what the DS4 counts as, but either way, the game supports pretty much any controller you can hook up via USB, so you should be totally fine.
This is a PC game from 2003 that wasn't even high-spec back in 2003, so you, too, should be fine.
And you should also be fine! The game is available worldwide, including in Japan AFAIK, so there won't be any IP blocks or anything of the sort.
Digital art book disc from 2004 that we were able to throw in as a bonus. Contains a bunch of PNGs and even PSDs of early development concept art, in-game character art, etc. It's good stuff!

Tom, do you think Falcom loaned the omake as a one-time addition to a release or is there any way to guarantee more digital pack-ins like this for upcoming titles?
Oooh, PSD's. Do they come with multiple layers?
I can confirm that everything went all right!
Game is downloading as we speak!
And this is a very nice surprise.
This was prooooobably a one-time thing, as these aren't just random files from Falcom, but previously-published files -- Falcom released them on disc as part of "Falcom Special Box 2004" back in... er... 2004.
So we were able to specifically ask Falcom if we could include the Ys VI Material Collection contents with the game, which they readily said yes to.In other words, these were files that were already cleared for release to the public 11 years ago.
For other titles, we'd need to specifically ask Falcom to gather and send us their pre-release development materials, which would involve getting clearance to release those materials, finding them all across their many computers, making sure they're all in usable non-proprietary formats, etc. It's certainly possible we could pull that off, and I'm sure we'll try, but the extra work and legalities involved for games that haven't already seen art materials released in Japan means the likelihood is much lower.
I actually don't even have PhotoShop installed on my computer, so I'm not entirely sure. I think they do, though!

That's good, all the more power to Xseed and Falcom. Bought! Now, about that SC or Cold Steel....
All Steam versions of the game include the Material Collection as a toggleable DLC.
All versions of the game come with the bonus art. We've attached it to the game on all three services as free DLC, to my knowledge.

Ah, no titty fairy dungeon in this one? Might still be worth it for the warping and lack of voice acting(even though it was what intruiged me to play Ys years ago).
W-W-W-WHAT?! FUCKING......SOLD!!!!

Nice, -15% sale. So bought.
The stories in these games aren't really interconnected so it doesn't really matter.
In all honestly, I personally think Oath in Felghana is a better game in terms of gameplay, music and level design -- but Ys VI is slightly easier (in non-Catastrophe mode, at any rate) and has the better story and characters. So it's up to you.
I think Oath in Felghana is a better introductory work to the series, personally, but they're both fine choices.
-Tom
I'd say Napishtim, otherwise you won't be able to appreciate the references and gameplay refinements in Felghana/Origin.

Playing that Celceta Vita game atm. The first Ys I played so far, do they all have Adol as protagonist or something?

All except Origin, where your story characters are Hugo and Yunica.

All except Origin, cause Origin happens 700 years before Ys I.

Bought, downloaded... might play a little tomorrow. I've only played this game once and don't remember all that much of it. So it should be pretty fresh.
