So today is the release date of the new Ys game, and so far I haven't seen anyone talk about the game. Doesn't appear that there is a import OT so far (checked the OT claim page and seems no one planned one), so I thought I would start a post at least to talk about the game a bit here. If anyone is making an import OT please go ahead and close this thread and Ill move my impressions there.
But Ive wanted to talk about the game for a day now and didn't want to wait much longer. I actually received my copy a day early, once again thanks to Falcom's great online store who always sends out their orders a day early. And yesterday was especially great as I was ill and needed something nice to play.
As you can see I got the collectors edition and all. Came with a nice "Codex of Adol Christin" book, which is just an art book for the game. But its done in the style that it was written by the character. Reminds me of Nathan Drakes diary from Uncharted. I also got and extra metal bookmark thing from the Falcom store for ordering there. Great place.
Anyway on to the game, Im going to avoid spoilers for now and just give some basic impressions for now. First off we've heard how long this game is, and so far its certainly a big game game. Ive played through the prologue and first chapters and while not terribly long they did take a bit of time. I love the areas so far. Even on a small island they can be quite huge.
The gameplay is classic Ys, simple fun action rpg gameplay. I know a lot of people have been worried about the framerate from the videos, and while Im no expert on frame rates and usually don't care about them anyway, my experience so far is that in combat they are fine. Game runs very well there. But there is some moments where gamers might have some issues with it all. Never has bugged me though. Love the first few bosses so far. to too hard but a lot of fun to battle.
Music is very nice. Found myself taking breaks and just keeping the game on the pause menu so that I can listen to the music. Falcom always has such wonderful music.
Overall I played about seven hours yesterday and it was hard to put down. I haven't had that feeling for a game in a while. Everything about it so far is fun. Ys fans are going to love it. But so far like Ive said I'm only on the second chapter and I'm still unlocking things to do in the game, especially tutorials. Theres a lot to do it seems and all. Also, lots of dialogue that goes on and on. Some might like that others won't. I didn't mind, but sometimes I really did want to get back into the action.
So yeah anyone else getting this today? Its a great game so far. Hope everyone enjoys it. Im going to go back to it now.
