Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana US + EU Demo
- Thread starter Glitter and Gold
- Start date
The ultimate feels is Flash Move into Flash Guard on boss splash attacks.
For reals, lol. Loved doing that whenever I had the chance. That or those endless chains of Flash Move whenever possible.
God, I love this game.

Lol I just noticed they spelled Lacrimosa wrong on the PS4 home screen.
Yeah, someone pointed that out earlier, seemed to be a thing on the EU version of the demo, but no one confirmed if it was also present in the US one. That said, another guy popped up to say that the final version -- review copy -- had it fixed (on his EU copy) lol.

FFXV taught me that you should never play an RPG where the jump button is the same one as the confirm button.

Well it's not much of an issue here since you don't need to be in a super precise position relative to whatever you're examining like in XV.

There are some very obvious vines that seem inviting to use to climb to the second floor but I can't seem to latch into them. Are they climbable? And if so, how?
Edit: there are definitely more vines inviting to be climbed but I can't seem to figure out how!

Keep going, you'll find something that will help out navigating with that later in the demo.

The demo link no longer works, NA here. Also, is PS4 60fps by any chance?

In the OP? still works on my end. Anyone else having issues?
It is 60 FPS, no way it could be anything else considering it's basically based on a Vita game originally, haha. But yeah, it runs at 60FPS, very smooth, very fluid, very pretty.
Yes a rock solid 60 too from what I've played.

Thank you, was debating on PC or PS4.
Also, I did not know Y8 was a vita game originally.
Edit: I can't even reach PS Store, now I am beginning to believe I may be IP banned or something. Recently switched to Verizon Fios.
Edit 2: Opened link through Microsoft Edge & it worked. Seems to be something up with Google Chrome.
Well, I say originally because the first version of the game came out on the Vita. For all intents and purposes, it does seem to have been developed with the Vita in mind. But Falcom touched up the PS4 version quite a bit, anyhow. Features better textures in general, better... everything, really. 60 FPS, extra content, a new difficulty mode that's exclusive to PS4 (Inferno) and so on, so forth.
That said, if you're into portable gaming, the Vita version is no slouch either. Sure, 30 FPS, missing some of the extra content, but it's a hell of an impressive game running on that Vita hardware. At the end of the day there's really no going wrong here, depends on what are your priorities

Thanks for the heads up! I wonder what's up with the recent increase of demo releases on PSN, but I wholeheartedly approve.

Found it. Enjoyed this demo. The one and only Ys I've played was VI on PS2 and I never beat it because I thought it was pretty mediocre. It wasnt until years later I learned that that game was probably the worst Ys game!Keep going, you'll find something that will help out navigating with that later in the demo.
Nah, VI isn't so bad. I mean, V is certainly worse.

I'd say 6 is the second worst of the "modern" stuff, with Ys1 being the worst just because the last two bosses suck and the back tracking is ass towards the end
Another Perfect Dodge GIF or two to get an idea of its usage, along with using a Skill:
It looks so smooth.
Don't need demo, will day 1 since it is a Ys game.

Ys1 is at least mercifully short, as far as those things go. By the time I was starting to get annoyed by it, it was over.

That's really good. The only thing to be wary about from my end is the translation. I heard it was a low-tier NIS garbage translation that was bad enough to weaken the game but not bad enough to make it not worth it because of the music, the gameplay, and the otherwise exceptional Kiseki-style story.

*with drops.
PS4 targets 60fps and maintains that target consistently, Vita targets 30 and has trouble maintaining it. Like you say it's still an impressive title given the hardware.
Yeah, of course. I did say it in a bunch of previous posts before, haha. But still, the drops are hardly really bad outside of a couple places, and even then, eh. At the end of the day I'm just really taken by how the game overall performs much, much better than Celceta, even though it looks nothing like that one. It's miles ahead and even then surpasses its performance with ease, especialy when you consider what it does.
Quite often while playing it on the Vita I had that 'wow, they got this working so well in this sytem', which unfotunately is never replicated with the PS4 version. I dunno, maybe this doesn't do much for a lot of people, but for anyone who values portability I still think the Vita version is totally worth it and a very, very impressive piece of tech.

much respect
I love the Flash Guard mechanic, it's so much fun. The window is long enough that it feels fair when I miss one.
Nah, it's a pretty standard localization quality-wise from what I've seen.

Pretty sure they took this down off the US store....i looked all over last night and couldnt find it. I even went to the game page itself on the store via search which is where youd normally find the demo and it wasnt there.

Had a look for this earlier, is there an EU vita demo? Might just be coming later like the Danganronpa v3 demo but I couldn't find it

Did they add the Blue chick from the title screen into the game for this rerelease or was she in thisbgame from the getgo in Japan when it launched last year on Vita only?
Yeah I wanted to get the demo yesterday and decided not to .
I want to discover the game fully without any limits.

She had mostly story moments in the Vita release, just not a lot of chances to play as her in action sequences/stages. PS4 adds in all the Dana content Falcom originally made but couldn't fit onto a Vita cart for their Japanese release.

Cool!
I figure the localized Vita game is the same as the OG JP release with limited blue chick right?

Thanks for this. Didn't realize a demo was released!
