Ys Origin (PC) available for free [limited time]

Bleh, I don't have enough space on this HD for this. Too bad.

It's over 100 gigs... yeah I need to delete a lot of crap from it.

So the whole game will be in English?
No, it only translates the configuration utility.
And I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work with this version, anyway.
 
Thanks for the heads-up Aeana. This will sit on my HD until a translation patch becomes available. And probably longer. Like all other promotional games. I only wish there was STEAM integration so I could look at it in a list with all the other games I buy and don't play.
 
Meh, the download stopped after like 500MB for me. Oh well, I don't think I'll try again, I wouldn't enjoy it that much without understanding anything anyway.

Arg I'm getting an error after running Fsetup3.exe
If I had to guess, it's because it's trying to install it at C:\FALCOM. If you're using Windows 7, that's a problem if you're not running it as administrator.

I think a file is missing?

Is that file actually missing? Try renaming the folder to get rid of イースオリジン, it could be causing problems.

File is missing :( . I'll delete and try to reinstall from the beginning.

I have that file. I could upload it somewhere for you, although if that file is missing, maybe others are too. Let me know how it goes after you try again.
 
Same error, same file missing. :(

Guess some files are not unpacking properly.

My Ys Origin / イースオリジン folder is 1.75 Go, 69 files.

I can try setting the desktop to japanese instead of using applocal but my guess is that it's a glitch with vista.

Yeah, you must be missing some stuff. I got 1.85 GB, 78 files, 8 folders. Of course, I'm running Win 7 (64-bit).
 
I am downloading this on my laptop where I won't be able to play the game, but I should be able to save the .exe to install on my desktop at later right? I just need to make sure I download the 1.6 GB file it before they stop offering it?
 
I keep getting this error when I click the link from the groupon email:

What is the filesize of your YSORIGIN-GP.EXE?

Stay away from that website. That guy's done BIG nonos for fan translations. He actually charged for his fan translations, as has held a grudge since someone posted his Oath in Felghana release for all to download. He's held it for years.
He never charged for his fan translations. He asked for donations to help get one of his projects finished, and promised early beta's of his translation patch to anyone who donated, no matter the amount. The plan was to release the translation for free when it was done, but when one of the donators then released the beta version of the patch under their own name, that really made the guy flip is lid and he went utterly nuts for a few years.

He's actually very skilled, and was the first one to release English patches for the Ys 1&2 PC remakes, as well as the first one to make the Oath in Felghana English patch.

Mine's 1,731,355,973, so I think your download got cut off prematurely.

I think I'm going to make a torrent for the file, which you can then use to make sure your file is complete and finish it if it isn't, and hopefully that will also help others. Unfortunately, my connection isn't great, but... it's the only thing I can think of, since none of the file uploading sites allow 1.6GB files.

You can probably put it into a split archive. That would solve things.
 
It was 96.7% complete.

It's now dowloading the rest really slowly but it's much better than redownloading the full thing. It seems the site is getting hammered anyway. When I try to redowload the full thing it was even slower than before.

I'm sorry it's going to slowly... it should be going at least twice that fast, not sure what's up.
 
This seemed to have worked...I dunno. This absurdly long intro is patrolling but soon I might be able to tell if this is actually a game!

ok, it's a game. thanks!

For future reference, or for anybody who cares, if you go into the game's folder and rename the AVI files, they won't play. I always rename them because they are long/boring.

thanks for the tip

any translations of the config menu? like a guide or something.

well, I found these and they can help without installing anything

I see you found the translated image for the first page.

The second page is gamepad setup... I don't have an image for that, but you really only need concern yourself with the buttons on the side, which read from top to bottom:

Attack/OK
Jump/Cancel
Skill
Activate boost
Menu
Run/walk toggle
Mouse cursor (ignore this one)
Switch skill left
Switch skill right
Select skill 1
Select skill 2
Select skill 3

The buttons on the right are for assigning movement keys, but if you're using a gamepad with analog, you don't need to worry about that.

Here's a torrent:
Thanks, Aeana. My download cut off. :(

However, IMO, it would have been smarter if you hid it in an tags so that only GAF members could see it.

See? Like this! And you can only see it if you quote me.
This text is not even in the page source, so lurkers can't see it.

I didn't know about that tag. I don't mind others being able to see it, though, as long as people help me seed when it finishes...

EDIT: That said, I don't intend to keep this going forever. Whenever someone says that the promotion no longer works, I'll probably stop.

It's working now. Thank you so much Aeana.

I'm seeding it too now. Can't we just split the file in many .rar and upload each part on megaupload or drop box?

I thought about that, but it's a lot of trouble and I'm actually really against spreading this file after the promotion has ended. I don't think their intention was to have a free copy of this game available forever.
 
I hope everyone gets a chance to play this. It really is a fantastic game. Hopefully the Ys games for PSP sold well enough to justify a port of Origins for PSP.

Yeah I agree about the promotion ending. I was just wondering this because at the speed I am seeding it I don't think someone will end up getting a full download from the torrent.
