I hope this is a joke post. Ys is one of the best jrpg series in existence. If fun could somehow be presented as a substance it would be Ys.Generic as fuck art style. I will pass.
Your loss for being shallow.Generic as fuck art style. I will pass.
I played Ys Ark of Napistim (don't know what number that was) on PS2 back in the day.
I remember being very disappointed on the game's Leingh and instead of an anime Intro it had a badly voiced CG instead.

I remember playing Ys 3? on a Super Nintendo back in the day. My only real memories of that game are finding a spot I could farm enemies with rubber bands on the controller while I did something else and possibly a really awesome ending boss theme. I might check this out!
Need more convincing? In most of the series, killing enemies makes them explode in a shower of gore and body parts that bounce around everywhere.
That's how hard Adol hits.
I tried out Oath on my Shield Portable through streaming and it worked perfectly. Sounds like something that'd be up your alley.I played a bit of Oath and Origin... And then I stopped. I liked them, but somehow they failed to hook me. And it's odd, because I like when RPGs revolve around gameplay and are not slow, narrative slogs. Will try to play... Origin again. They work perfectly with my xinput controllers too. And I agree with OP, Adol > that overdesigned borefest known as Cloud
I feel like I would have beat them already if they were on 3DS :x Falcom, why must you hate Nintendo's handhelds?
That fixes the form factor, but ideally I'd play them on the bus (or at the office, lol). This is the kind of game that I'd definitely prefer on a handheld. Felghana is on PSP, right? I have been thinking of re-buying a PSP, maybe I'll buy it then.sörine;190361336 said:I tried out Oath on my Shield Portable through streaming and it worked perfectly.

I'm gonna buy it.
Should I play Origins, or Oath, if I want my first game to be as impactful as possible?
For context, I played Dark Souls before Demon's Souls and I'm extremely grateful for that. Playing Dark Souls first made it seem wholly original and I was immensely impressed by the stuff that would have seemed rehashed had I played Demon's first.
I'd like something similar with Ys.
I think Oath in Felghana is better. You really can't go wrong with whichever one you play first, though (and I played Origin first).
Felghana has better stages; Origin's standard enemies are kind of weak, which leads to that game being a good deal more uneven. Origin might have slightly consistently better bosses, though, and the bosses are indisputably the high points of the games (they both have some of the best boss lineups of any game I've ever played). Felghana has something of an open world (although it's still an entirely linear game); Origin is entirely straightforward. Grab whichever sounds good to you; there's less of a gap between the games than there is between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

I really wish they would put the Ys 3 PS2 remake on Steam. I love me some 2D RPGs.
Go watch some gameplay videos of it; it's not particularly great. For whatever reason, the PS2 game doesn't have the screen scrolling in most areas where it should be.
Oath in Felghana is a much better remake, and if any versions of Ys 3 should come to Steam, it would be best if they were the PC Engine or Mega Drive versions.
I agree that Oath is probably the better remake, and it is a fantastic game. I played through the game around 5-6 times on the PSP, and plan on playing it again on PC.
I just have a soft spot for 2D RPGs (Popful Mail, Child of Light, Igavanias, Zelda 2, etc) and Ys 3 is still my favorite to this day. Even if it was a bad remake (it does look mediocre) I would still probably love it.
Anyone who plays Chronicles without the PC-88 soundtrack is playing it wrong.
