Can't wait to try the demo and for the game. I think you still get extra pre-order goodies if you pre-order.
Adol's Silver Armor - The memorable, original armor Adol wore in Ys.
Adol's Adventurer Clothes - Jaunty clothing that Adol wears on his adventures around the world.
Adol's Survival Kit - Obtain items that are useful when adventuring on a deserted island. Survival Kit includes: Blade Ring II (x1), Empty Bottle (x1), and Iron Ore (x10).

The digital version comes with sampler songs, a PSN Theme and 7 PSN avatars

Not sure what bonuses Steam version will get though, if any. I'm sure it's on the page tho

Tried it out. Kinda cool. Could be a great podcast game.
Celceta soundtrack was much better tho.
So I liked Ys celceta on the Vita and just tried this demo. Will I be okay getting the vita version?

You don't need a demo on PC, you can just refund, after all.Where's the PC version?
The Vita version has less content since it came out almost a year earlier. If you don't mind that, it's fine.
Wow, thanks for the replies. I guess I've got some thinking to do.You'll be okay, but Vita version isn't 60FPS, it's 30. It's not always 30, either, as the game has drops. The loadings are a bit worse on the Vita, too. And above all, you'll be missing some content which is exclusive to the PS4 version. Namely a more fleshed out Dana story and a couple dungeons which are unique to the PS4 ver.
THAT SAID, the game on the Vita was actually kind of impressive graphically for what it tried to do. It definitely runs better than Celceta, while being a much, much prettier and ambitious. The new story added on PS4 is alright, but at the end of the day it doesn't really make the game into a completely new experience, so if you think you can live with a bit less backstory, a couple dungeons/boss, the Vita version is still pretty nice (and cheaper).
Is the extra stuff for the PC version too?You'll be okay, but Vita version isn't 60FPS, it's 30. It's not always 30, either, as the game has drops. The loadings are a bit worse on the Vita, too.

I actually prefer some of the songs on the Ys 8 OST to Celceta's:

Also reminder: in NG+ you can use equipment to let Adol play the game solo - and he switches attack types without changing characters, so if you really just want to solo the game with Adol as a game mode you can.
Sunshine Coastline alone is better than all of Celceta.
Definitely looking forward to this. Hoping to have finished Trails of Cold Steel by the release date.
How's the translation? Early reviews seem very positive, but I know the localization was a concern for some.
This was a very fun demo. Thinking about picking this up now depending on reviews.
Did they ever released a Ys Seven costume for Adol? That's one is my favorite.
Seems alright. Combat is messy and chaotic and I was unable to figure out what most of the enemy weakness icons were referring to when locking-on(skills unavailable to my team in the demo?)
Plays well on PS4, nice and fluid. Didn't outright grab me like the older games(Oath, Origins, and Eternal) but I also haven't played nu-Ys stuff like Celcetta and 7.
Will likely snag, though I am compelled to play the earlier games first.

The weaknesses correspond to character attributes, which are applied to all of their attacks and skills. Adol is Slash, Laxia is Pierce, and Sahad is Smash.
Didn't see anything wrong with the localisation so far tbh.How's the translation? Early reviews seem very positive, but I know the localization was a concern for some.
Hold down R1 and press any of the corresponding face buttons to do a skill, and switch using square to get to the enemy's weakness. Even if you don't know what weakness icons are what you can still use common sense to some degree.
All hard shelled crab like things take more damage from Sahad, for example, because he uses a crushing weapon. You get the idea.
The game will most likely click once you start doing that, and if you start using L1 right before you get hit to do a perfect dodge/R1 to do a perfect guard I think you'll realize the game's combat is less messy than you think.
I get the feeling a lot of people aren't going to realize how to play this game for a little while.

Yep.
Slash is red, Pierce is Yellow and Smash is Green btw, to make it easier to comprehend and identify in game

Thanks, helps tremendously as I was assuming the weakness icons referred to individual skills, not attributes. I even spent time going through menus trying to see if there was any reference tucked away(like elements attached to current equipped skills) but now this makes sense.
Didn't realize there was perfect guard and dodge either. The control diagram came up on screen at the start and I was so not ready to memorize the 20 different commands. I had a brief few minutes to test afterall and wanted to just jump in. Definitely more intrigued to try again tonight now.
Glad you can reconfigure the button layout in the demo, the default set up feels kind of wonky coming off of most other games lol.
Another Perfect Dodge GIF or two to get an idea of its usage, along with using a Skill:
There will be an steam demo?
