This will get my support.
Pretty well settled into the games I'm playing at the moment and am anticipating by the time I'm bored with them I'm hoping something like Diablo 3 will be out and dominate my time. If it's out for cheap and I'm done with my games I'll look into it more but yeah I'm just not really looking for a new game in general at the moment, I'm well looked after right now
It IS pretty short if that helps, around 10-15 hours.
lol as I was typing that I was realizing this is probably the first time in my life I've actually acknowledged that I have a full plate of games and haven't really felt the urge to buy games just because they're good or on a steam impulse buying spree. For the record, I like the idea of a shorter game.
I haven't played an Ys outside of III. Which was awesome.
And knowing that this game has an awesome remix of the Redmont theme will make me purchase on day one.

Damn good news, now I can rebuy this and play it in english without using that fan translation patch, especially when NightWolve has talked something about malware.
Gotta hope that this game will sell nicely so XSEED can show the numbers to Falcom to let more PC goodness to be released.
Kinda hoping that the pc release would include the soundtrack and super arrange to Felghana, even if I should buy them just directly from Falcom.

Falcom actually has all of the Felghana music on international iTunes now, so you can get it right from the source.

I was hoping for TiTS, but Ys is always good, especially the best Ys.

That's most likely the other game. That or some version of Ys 1&2.

Will buy at launch if the price is reasonable.
That's because those are absolutely the shittiest games in the whole series. Like, the DS port is awful and Falcom had nothing to do with it.
Yeah. Felghana is great, but Xanadu Next is what will attract the attention of people not normally interested in Falcom games.
Those are the latest versions.
No set period. Sometimes days, sometimes weeks, sometimes months. Sometimes never!

Oh wow, this is great news. I was contemplating getting Oath and TiTS for Vita. Now I'm going to hold off and get the better PC versions :O

This is true, we had Final Fantasy VII and VIII on the Registry years ago and they never were released.

Then what's VI's excuse?

It's probably my least favorite of the games I've played (that or Ys I), but I still enjoyed it. Granted, I played the PC version and not the abysmal PSP port. On the contrary, Oath in Felghana and Origin both use the same engine and play similarly, but they're my two favorite games in the series.
So really, it might just depend on what you didn't like about it.
This will be my first purchase on Steam. Any Ys game that comes up on Steam, I'm getting it.
Ys is one of my favorite franchises.
I've played the PC version of Napishtim and it blows the PSP and PS2 versions out of the water.
Really hope XSEED can bring it over and Konami hasn't fucked the rights up.

Yeah, IMO Origin and Felghana are much improved despite running on the same engine. Origin in particular has fun mechanics with the different playstyles between the three main characters. I also just don't like the aesthetics of Ys 6 very much.
It's still a fun game though, and a lot of people like it because it was their first exposure to the series.
So have you not played Ys 5 or what

Still better than the time I ordered Xenoblade from Europe, then a day later, NOA announced its April release here.
You don't like the aesthetics of Ys 6? I'm stunned.
I think the PC version is beautiful.
I know you like your dark games ctrayne, but this is taking it too far

VI is Napishtim, right (if I'm getting my roman numerals right)?

Been wanting to play this. I almost wish it wasn't announced until it was announced though. I'm ready to buy, but there is not even an estimated release date (if ever).

Yeah, yeah, this comes up every time. I would argue that Ys V is great because it was ambitious and trying out new territory for the series. It had a large scope with some really nice subplots, a great mock-orchestral soundtrack, a huge world with tons of variety in locations, a beautiful muted color palette, understated character design, customizable magic spells, thrust/swing sword styles, a useable shield that actually blocks things, and the use of 3D space and a jump button. It was a pretty big undertaking compared to anything Falcom had done before. There's all kinds of crazy stuff in the game, and it has a grand scale.
Dem earthy tones.
It was also one of the very few console games Falcom developed in-house up to that point. Considering all these things, people give it way too much hate. I actually get really tired of "lol Ys V". It's quite a neat game, but people can't seem to understand why someone might appreciate it. Yes, it takes a certain mindset and willingness to overlook issues, but it's a fine game.
In comparison, Ys VI is just another action game. It's not bad at all, but it's kind of unremarkable. Ys V, along with Legend of Xanadu I & II, were pretty ambitious projects in comparison.

Oh, this has nothing to do with dark games.
I just think a lot of the scenery is boring. The island was pretty, but I seem recall lots of bland caves, ruins and cliffsides too.Oh, this has nothing to do with dark games.
Some of the dungeons were certainly underdeveloped graphically compared to Oath and Origin, but I still think the art and general aesthetics of the game created a really cool distinctive exotic atmosphere.
I liked the character designs too.
Well, I guess I don't really have preconceived notions about what Ys is and isn't allowed to be or what it stands for. I mean, Ys Seven's gameplay is as much a departure for the series as Ys V was.
As I mentioned earlier, Ys V had a lot of really neat stuff about it beyond being slow. Looking beyond that, you can see a lot of ambition. It's good to push in new directions.
Anyway, this is the same discussion that always happens with Ys V, so I'm going to leave it alone.
Edit: just to be clear, I hate the PS2 verion of Ys V. Turrible.

Yes, Ys 7 is a departure, but it's still fast. And I've listed my grievances with Ys 7 in the past, as well. I don't hate Ys 5, I just think it is by far the lesser entry in the series. Ambition doesn't matter to me if a game isn't very fun to play.
