oh ya my Adol

It took years for Falcom to develop the perfect entry in the series, and with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana, they finally managed to do so by refining the renewed story focus and gameplay mechanics introduced in Ys Seven without taking away what makes the series so enjoyable. With a well-executed, albeit not really original story, charming cast, fast paced battle system, engaging boss battles, tight challenge level and plenty of side-content, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana is without a doubt the best entry in the series and one of the best action role-playing games released this year.

Which blue haired girl falls for Adol this time?
---

probably the one on the cover!

OST is what's important here. What does it say?
---

reminder Ys Seven is out today on Steam :D
---

from the GI review

Sound:
With killer rock beats and emotional orchestral tracks, the music enhances every situation and is a highlight. The voice acting is adequate, but isn’t memorable
---

I almost want to call in today and play Ys Seven on Steam when it releases but sadly that will have to wait until later tonight
---

I still need 3 and 5. Does 5 even have modern release?
---

No just a fan translation on snes

It's also the worst ys game
---

Hmm, to play 7 or skip it and just play 8...
---

Play seven

Seven has a "do dungeons a second time" issue, but it is still fantastic.

Play seven

---

Seven's the only one I've played so far, but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to getting this some day.
---

for anyone who hasn't played Ys Seven yet here's me leaving town and playing up to the first boss (and dying quickly) on Nightmare difficulty

I should probably remember how to play this game before attempting Nightmare again
---

I liked Memories of Celceta so I think I'll get around to playing this soon.
---

The controls in this demo.... I think remapping might be a good idea.
---

I ordered CEs for Ys Origin and Ys VIII

HYPE
---

Hey me too
---

Hey SHINE, whats the best platform for Ys III (the original, not Oath)? I had it on genesis but wasnt really a fan. Is the snes one better or what
---

I always recommend the Turbografix versions of 1-4 if you can play them

for Ys 3 specifically I'd say TG > Genesis > SNES
---

Oh dope, didnt know it was on TG, thanks
