Origins improves on OiF (which is Ys 3 actually)'s gameplay.
OiF's gameplay is great already, so a better game might make OiF a little awkward to go back to.
i played OiF and MoC on the psp, never played I&II, playing though origins now
Oath is the best all around adventure (and probably game in the entire series). The games don't really require you to have played the other games. Origins is a good game too but the setup of the story (the tower, multiple heroes, all the same areas) makes it a better option if you like the series already, but not a good intro point.
Go Oath, Origin, and then 1 and 2 if you're curious. The latter two play quite differently and are a bit dated in some regardes.

Yo. Ys 2 is really good. Looking at my list now, and only 3 others have played it! Sheeiit! A lot of people played 1 and just stopped there. Big mistake!

I was actually curious about that, didn't know where to start and Google pretty much gives me the same answer.
Thanks guys, starting with Oath then. Think I'll try 1 and 2 before Origins though.

Welp, now I'm not sure again. So many mixed answers

Six hours, I played like six hours of games in total for the last 2 weeks, I hate exams.
I played the games in chronological order
Orgins, 1 and 2. Haven't started to play Oath yet
The good thing about an internship is that I have no exams
The bad thing is that if I screw up, a process plant may explode.

Don't worry, good sir. It is on my list of games to play for the 52 game challenge...
Awesome!
It's really up to you. I'm glad I started with I and 2, but I understand that Ys 1 and 2 isn't for everyone. Just remember this: Each level is important. Real important. Bosses will seem impossible if you're slightly underleveled.
In my defense, I've played the Ys Eternal fan translations few years ago.
Still wish to try the Steam versions (for cheevos and new music), maybe this year even.

WELP my trusty GTX460 decided to kill itself today.
RIP may you electric soul rest alongside your predecesor's, the Voodoo 3300.
Hahaha. I love the 460, the little card that could. Still have one for an extra monitor.

I just found Mordheim City of the Damned on Steam early access. A turn-based RPG set in Warhammer world. Looks good & polished overall.
Have anyone here tried it yet?
Raven's Cry looks neat as well.

I know you are joking
I finished Ys 1 last week, will do 2 soon, then Origins, then Felghana
Maybe it's time to greenlight everything that's in Steam Greenlight?
Not anymore, thanks

Sakura Angels is apparently in that list (not sure if that's old news or not), much to Turfster's and Chariot's delights, I'm sure.

Playing through Ys I right now and it's good so far. I usually hate grinding levels in RPGs but with this kind of battle system, just mindlessly walking around and slashing mobs is pretty fun.

In a similar position, good luck mate. I shall be free midday Wednesday, then it's just gonna be and Wasteland 2 by candlelight.
This sounds like Dirty Bomb when it was exclusive to the Nexon client. Great game when the population was around however; much better than TF2.
That doesn't seem to be possible, games are added to greenlight almost at the same rate they are greenlit. Not to mention that new additions aren't that hot and lately more of the concepts than games with something to show, but still, situation is dire! It's a bit scary to think what will happen when greenlight is shutdown, and every half baked or barely baked game will end up on steam, no? Then again, maybe it isn't, we are close to this situation already.
edited: talking about Ys, I'll still stand by my words that it's better to start with origins, or ys 1-2. I actually plan to do franchise run at some point with steam Ys games, will omit those not on steam, I just need Ys6 to come here too.
I'm pretty sure they both will buy it
Intercalate between Ys 1 and Oaths!
Warhammer properties can range from near perfection to the depths of uninspired tripe. I would keep expectations low in case it is the latter.
Ah, Reality Pump, my favorite developer of games with european jank. I'm looking forward to Raven's Cry, and expect a bit of jank, but they haven't released any new gameplay videos or done any interviews in a long time.
is releasing today. As I never played it... I'm very tempted to buy it, but then if it's any good it'll screw all my plans and I don't think it's a short game. Well, depends on price, still no price on it.
edited: reading gaf goty thread and seeing so many mentions of Danganronpa made me wish we could get it on steam, iOS version should be easy and cheap to port, then again it's Spike Chunsoft, not exactly PC guys.

Looks interesting, game was released on Wii U a few months ago. You can probably check some youtube videos of the Wii U version and see how the game is before purchasing.
oh don't get me wrong, it's 100% must buy game for me, I don't need converting. It's just that I still have my 100 unfinished games, that I planned to finish this year, and I bought more than 100 new during winter sale...
But if price is right... what our buying habits have to do with logic anyway? (><)

"Alphadia Genesis is the first JRPG from acclaimed developers KEMCO to be released on Steam."
Acclaimed?
I mean, they release those games on iOS in such a pace (1-2 monthly) that I have no doubt it's not a great game.
Still seems quite nice. Pity there's no controller support, the battle UI looks like something that will be a chore to control with kb+m.
The fact that only one DROD game has been greenlit is seriously dire.

They are very good puzzle games. I have the first three on GOG.
well, then we should greenlit them, shouldn't we?

I'm sure they'll be greenlit even without our help, those games are cult classics and very loved.
I voted them
you didn't! nothing is better than Puzzle Quest! nothing!
I'll remind you these words after I play DROD, don't think I'll forget (><)
I wouldn't be so sure, seeing as all of them are on greenlight for more than two years already and still not greenlit
upvoted too
If you have DROD 4, start with it.
It's the first chronologically storywise, and an easier game than the other main titles. Meant as a starter title to ease new players into the game.
DROD 1-3 and 5 are brutally difficult.
There are also a few tutorial user-made holds, but it's best to start with Gunthro.
just checked, I have it. I'll probably wait till next year to play it, tho.
I'm still not convinced... but I'll give it a chance.
Here's more opinions to win you over.

The Next Penelope looks like the next game to watch. It's hitting Early Access on the 22nd, but will have all the solo content in the game from the jump. This video pretty much sold me on it.

Haha wow Kemco.
They've put out like....zero good games for as long as I've known them.
Admittedly I don't know a thing about their mobile output, but during the 8-16-32-64bit days it was nothing but mediocre junk.
They're at least partly responsible for the legendary cover for the SNES game Phalanx.
I actually bought a PS2 memory card that Kemco put out. It was the best product they ever made IMO. That thing still works and I've had it for well over a decade.
