Finally starting my 3rd Ys game after 1 and 2, really going in deep on this Ys rabbithole

Be real with me, how much bullshit should I expect on this game? Am i totally gonna get lost like how I did on the first game where I'm going to need a guide

So I finally finished this after 20 hours and i gotta get this outta the way first, Luna is such a simple cute character I love her simple cute design so much

Now thats outta the way, I have a few things to say about this series

1. This game's dialogue is so fun to read. It shows how different the writing was from back then to today's standard. It's so raw and you wouldn't see these kind of quips and funny lines because it would offend at least 1 person

2. I have a problem connecting with the main character Alex, throughout the game he has these 1 liners whenever he talks but suddenly he abadons his silent protagonist role and becomes talkative. Why wasn't he just be like this since the beginning, all of a sudden you give him personality, AT THE END OF THE GAME???

3. The only time I removed auto was for fighting the 4 bosses at the end, mostly i just go on auto but when I went to the fortress and fought the bosses, that's the only time i manually played.

4. Mia's face is so distracting during cutscenes, she's just Shinji from Eva witha long hair

5. The story is what you expect from the 90's era, simple and sweet.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience in this game and see now why people were excited when this remaster was announced. Will play prolly in the next month. Is 2 really that good? I keep seeing from youtube reviews that 2 is miles better than 1

Disgaea 4 is what made me a fan of the game

3 was terribly annoying

1 is ehh

2 is alright, it's kinda good

5 is so boring

6 is aight

7 is boring too

Even if 4 has my most hated character (Fuuka) because of her adamant dream coping, Valvatorez has the most right amount of balance of seriousness and goofyness in the story

Also, can anyone tell me why people liked 5 so much? I just don't get it. Killia is the most boring MC I've ever played as

So I finally decided to dive into the Ys Franchise and people always recommend to start in the remastered version of I and II

Is chronologically the way to go in these games? Ive learned that not all of the games are accessible and there are a few terrible ones in between

Any advice you guys can give on how to play this game and how to proceed with the order of games going forward?

If it was just me, I would go by console releases starting from the oldest one (if remasters arent available)

With the recent resurgence of EOS'd mobile games getting a full game port, I am honestly holding out for this one.

Bandai, don't be dumb like you always are

Finally finished this game after 40 hours and as expected, I really enjoyed my time with the characters.
This game has probably the easiest boss in all the Tales I've played, i didn't even have to use an All-Divide for all 3 phases.

Also, I just learned that QQ and Kongwei are technically not from Innocence since they are new characters for the remake? People said that they are originally from Tempest.

Whats up with them? I honestly thought Kongwei was the reincarnation of the Giant

I love the cast, will post a tier list and my thoughts regarding the characters maybe tomorrow.

The music is very good especially the lullaby sounding ost's, also the piano ones are so good.

I will probably start Xillia 2 or Hearts R next

Fuck Hasta though, I hate you sm

Also, thank you so much to Team Life Bottle and Team Absolute Zero Translations for being so goated on providing us non-japanese weebs to play this gem ♥ Thank you guys

Holy mother of not reading, Im currently at Chaldea and I just learned of this now that I have this smh

This maybe why the game was kinda hard for me, I was just trynna figure out how to equip the Lv2 Overlimit and found this

When is the best time to use these?? Because if i just access these randomly, I'm worried i might break the game by making it super easy

If i proceed, does the fencer class still remain in the character menu??? Im like at level 2 with it

Okay, this game is kinda fun and the story is pretty cool, them talking about their past lives in the present is just so sweet

So far so good i guess, hope this continues

This moment was just so good I had to post it

So i was gonna start Xillia 2 but i really wanna play the series by the game's release date so I went with Innocence instead

Any tips for those who played this?

Is this a kiddie game vibes since the protag is somewhat very young for the story?

the intro cinematic was kinda insaane ngl

After giving it a 4th shot because it bored me during the beginning, I finally finished it after 40 hours

Here is my Tier list, I find only a few character interesting

I did not care for much for the majority of them

The game kinda drags a bit in the middle and a lot of party members do no matter after getting them as party members

The story is pretty straightforward and kinda predictable

Overall i think I'd give it a 7/10 since the gameplay was kinda braindead imo and kinda easy

I just wish we kinda get a close up of the characters portrait or art a bit more

Any heads up i should know?

Done with (in order)
Phantasia
Abyss
Symphonia
Vesperia
Xillia
