I keep forgetting about this game, despite really liking everything I've seen of it

Utawarerumono comes out in September, too.
Uta for Vita, and Ys 8 for PC. Yum. :L
The music appears to either be a part of, or a remix of, A-Z, the final final boss music.

At best it's a full live recording by the newest jdk Band, but it seems just like the main track. It's sad how the penultimate final-boss theme is catchier and better overall, but it's hard to best themes as great as The Depth Napishtim or False God of Causality.
I hope NISA does their best with Ys VIII. Seeing yet more Japanese footage of the PS4 version isn't making me confident they've a localized demo any time soon except maybe at E3 this week. Someone please prove me wrong.
yes
Same here. First Ys game was VII and I loved it, so when I heard VIII was on the way to PC I made sure to save up for it. Any importers play this one yet? How is it?

Probably will grab on PC. I'd prefer a handheld copy but I'm pretty sure I heard that the Vita version has less content.

I LOVE the art style!!!! I could look at it all day. Had this on my Steam wishlist for the longest knowing damn well I need to play through Origins. :3

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'm still pissed that NIS isn't doing a DRM-free PC version, despite that clearly not being an objection Falcom has.

Import impressions highly favor the game; VIII seems to have utterly outdone both Memories of Celceta and Seven, and it stands up comfortably next to peak games from the mid-2000s (which Seven already somewhat did). The game's been in development for a long time by modern Falcom standards, so it benefits from hardly being rushed out, and the emphasis on exploring a mysterious island really paid off while the game's improved combat balance/challenge, progression, dungeon designs, boss fights, and definitely the story. Let's not forget crazy good music too.

Damn it, NISA. Hopefully they'll keep these mistakes to a minimum.

Every NISA game I've ever played has been riddled with errors so I'm very not hopeful.
Guess I expected too much from NISA.
That sure is NISA all right. The Psycho-Pass game has a lot of non-sensical errors like this too, like calling "Kagari" "Tsuguri" even when they're in the same scene together.

Damn, those are bad. Hopefully they just hadn't finished editing the script yet...
Blergh.
Already starting to miss Xseed.
Lol, the editor should at least pick that one up.

Why should it? Celceta sold well, the series has become a staple on Steam (thus the motive for a PC port), and it's going to get great reviews unless NISA utterly butchers the localization in a way you can't ignore, even considering the game's still action-oriented vs. Trails's story focus. I definitely hope the PC port's modifiable just in case we get a flawed, undeserved English script, one which fans could edit to read a lot better and fix any mistakes.

Judging by the amount of posts in this thread, yeah it's not looking so good.

Hard to say. The September 12th release window isn't terrible as far as niche-driven enthusiast gamers are concerned. It's sandwiched nicely between Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle / Yakuza Kiwami and Danganronpa V3 with a two-week cushion on either side.
The real threat to distract gamers and take sales away might well be Metroid: Samus Returns which ships 3 days after Ys VIII. Release dates will undoubtedly shuffle around before then but I think it could at least capture the audience it should expect to grab.
Mainstream AAA gamers weren't ever going to be flocking to this title anyhow. They'll all be happily grinding for loot in Destiny 2.
1000% don't have to worry about that. Soundtrack is great.

Sorry i'm not seeing the problem , here . Could somebody point it out to me ?
I'm assuming they're referring to Adol's description which is very awkward English.
