Ys on PS4? Heck I'll even accept a PC title. Whatever it is, I hope it has a chance for localization.

I hope Sen gets ported to the PS4 too. Falcom's never had issues with porting older games over to newer platforms, it'd be nice to see that expand upwards.
Well, considering they're one of the few devs who still churn out 50+ hour JRPGs almost every year, I'm not complaining.
Besides, Sen is a good start for them as far as tech goes. If they can reach Atelier level of in-game graphics over the next few games, I'd be elated.

Sounds about right.. can't wait.
The chances for a Ys title to get a localized version are quite high since the games usually aren't too long and don't contain too much text. The Kiseki games on the other hand....
Hmm, that is true. I forget sometimes that the huge amount of dialogue is the reason behind those titles taking so long.

Are we sure it's ps4 exclusive and not ps3/ps4 or psv/ps4 game ?

We're not even sure it's a ps4 game at all.
We know they -are- working on a ps4 game, we're just not sure it's the game being announced tonight.

They must have made the decision to go that route in '95 or '96, considering that in '95 they released LoX II on Turbo CD and Ys V and Brandish 2 on SNES, all of which are good-looking late 4th gen titles. But then after that they mostly gave up on consoles for years, and have never tried again to do high-end graphics on a console game. That's okay, it has gone well for them that way, but that has to be when they made that choice...
You think Hudson messed up Ys III? But isn't it pretty much the same on Turbo CD as it is anywhere else? Hudson/Alfa System only did the Turbo CD port of Ys I & II, not any of the others...
But yeah, Falcom licensed out a lot of ports of their games that gen. Figuring out who exactly did what is confusing... Falcom did make a few themselves, such as Popful Mail (SNES version), the two Legend of Xanadu games (TCD), and Ys V (SNES), but a lot of the other SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, and Turbo CD games are by other companies -- Hudson/Alfa System, NEC, Tonkin House, Epoch, Koei, Sega...

You and me both man
PS4 is close to PC hardware and Falcom seems right at home with that.

I'll try to stay up and see this. Falcom is worth it, especially if it ends up being Ys.
Lol. I don't suggest anyone stay up for this if it's late. The info in the OP isn't really accurate. I just took a look at the site: http://falcom.jp/jdk/fa_live.html#time_anc
This is mostly a mini-concert and talk event celebrating 10 years of Kiseki. Here's how the schedule looks:
- Starts at 7pm
- 40 minute live performance
- 20 minute break with food and drinks for the audience
- 45 minute talk event about 10 years of Kiseki
- 15 minute break with more food and drinks for the audience
- 45 minute presentation on the Sen no Kiseki sequel and what else they have coming
So for those staying up JUST to see the "Ys 8" announcement or whatever, be prepared to wait well over 2 hours beyond the countdown in the OP. Loooooool.

Thanks for the info. I wonder what food and drinks they will be serving.

Oh well. I actually hope it's a new IP, classic JRPG like Legend of Heroes series but completely new, so it could be localized.
Not too big on Ys series personally.

Booooooooo, I wanted to watch it, but I also would like to not be the walking dead at work tomorrow.
But is the ' Ys8 ' still comin'?

Any Ys is a good starting point, don't worry too much about the story.
Yes. It'll be after however long they spend on Sen no Kiseki 2. So probably like 2 hours 20 minutes into the event.
Haha, yeah, I heard that the story is crap, but the gameplay is god-tier.

The story of the Ys games is not crap, unless you're talking about Celceta only.
Ah, well, perhaps. I'll check one out. Thanks for the advice.

I recommend you Ys: The Oath in Felghana for the PSP, but really any game is fine.

Duckroll how are you so confident the game will be Ys 8?

The Persona thing turned out to actually give you guys Persona 5. Of course, it was after like 2 hours of some other shit.
I'm not? I'm just saying that's what people are expecting here. Hence "Ys 8". It could be anything.

Ys 8...!

I don't even know if I want to stay up for Sen no Kiseki 2. Event though I've been pretty hyped about this series since Zero. I guess over time the "oni~san" moments in Sen stuck with me and soured my overall view of the game.
Yeah they didn't want to sell units and make a profit anyway....for Wii U!
My guess is PC/PS3/PS4

I wouldn't count my luck on there being a PC release.

I think he's referring to something like Sophia's streaming of the Persona Nico announcement on Twitch or something similar...basically a none-Nico stream link where you wouldn't get a chance to be kicked out...
