What went wrong?

nothing.
but if you're talking about what went wrong with the series as a whole, there are some people who are complaining about the party system in recent Ys games

the sound team losing it
making adol's armor DLC

I like Ys

They stopped using the bump system.

>we want to appeal to a broader audience.

>>389815293
use Aisha for that, you dumb nigger

>>389815506
what the fuck are you talking about? Ys is still very niche.

>>389813160
Nothing

It's still bretty good

>>389815738
Developers making poor choices for a wider audience and failing is why it still has a niche audience. Falcom want's Ys to be hitting Kiseki numbers and keeps modifying Ys towards that.

The majority of the fanbase being unaware of the best game in the series

>>389813160
I liked when every NPC had a unique name and in some games even a portrait
Is 8 doing that again? It would make sense since theres only about a shipwreck's worth of characters

>>389813160
Adol's fashion sense.

>>389817249
There is nothing wrong with fishing

>>389817249
>fishing
Why does Falcom like fishing so goddam much? It's easily the most tedious part of any of their games.

>>389813160
3D environments and combat aren't really well done in recent ones, also too many characters that no one cares about other than fap baits, just let Adol wreck shit alone, maybe one more party member but you can only use one at the time like in Origins

>>389816079
Ok so then why did everyone who imported ys 8 say it was the best ys since oath?

>>389818259
Importers tend to say that about everything until its out in english.

>>389817443
It isn't just them, it's Japan in general that likes fishing and alot of devs put it in their games.

>>389813160
NISA. I swear if I see one fucking Prinny in Ys I will go absolutely berserk.

>>389819508
Dood

>>389819570
I WILL FUCKING LOSE IT!

>>389819508
fucking rude dood

>>389813160
I enjoyed Ys 7.

Then I realized nothing in any game ever matters because it fucking resets every game and that drained away all motivation to play Ys.

>>389820056
Of course nigger,they need to reset so you can scale again from skinny stranded fukboi to god slayer near the end game

>>389820586
But the story resets too.

>>389820653
No it doesn't

>>389820056
Adol resets himself because he knows that if he carried equipment and skills from one game to another, literally nothing could stop him or even put up a challenge. He's slayed multiple gods, both by sword and dick, and stopped loads of ancient evils.

>>389820724
It basically does.

New island, new friends, nobody except for Adol and his sidekick even matter.

>>389820653
That's what a meant.
New continent to get stranded on,new equipment to gather,new gods to kill,new pussies to NTR.
To be honest,story really isn't the fort of Ys,indeed I would say it is the weakest point between gameplay,aesthetics and plot

>>389820780
That happens in a shit ton of game series my dude.

>>389820874
Most RPGs don't have the main characters carry over game after game with no real references to prior events.

It's hard to take the stakes or connections with any of the characters seriously when you know it will mean nothing at the end of the game.

>>389820974
Ys is not an RPG, it's an action game with light RPG elements and the story is just there to make it not seem like you're mindlessly killing things for 10 hours.

>start fight

>still get up to 30% of his health before figuring it out it was a bug
I mean,the situation is so hilarious,it actually happens to the entire game but since I entered expecting a hardcore experience it felt like just normal gameplay

>>389820789
Nobody ever plays Ys for the story anyway

Talked to a guy who beta tested 8 do not preorder on PC wait for reviews because the game will likely be buggy.

Ys 8 is going to be bad, isn't it

>>389822276
It's actually really good.

>>389822276
I highly don't believe so.I really trust falcon if they are trying to release the game first batch already on multiplats

>>389818259
Importers said that about Celceta too. Seven wasn't bad for the first party game, but They've been dropping the ball.

good goyim

>>389822276
It's better than MOC at least

>>389822943
I'm not sure what this image is trying to show

>>389824269
Ys is the backbone of falcon but they keep trying to push kiseki to their players

>>389824483
i love ys and all but kiseki is more popular at this point so it makes sense that falcom would put more and more effort into it

>>389821284
Still beat him despite the fact of playing on nightmare.

>>389822276
it's good, but as for the story... well we all know the series doesn't have eye-opener plots, but the lore is interesting. In Ys 8, some importers thought that the story was weaker than the previous entries. And I also heard from those that received review copies said that NISA fucked up the localization

No Dogi no buy

>>389816219
Why did Falcom change the names of the Ys remakes? Is it because the remakes retcon the other ones?

never undertstand why people like this serie so much

>>389813160

With I & II Chronicles? Nothing, they're great games. With Ys in general? Eh, the party system games are merely decent compared to the bump system/isometric games. Still, the series hasn't quite lost the plot, it's just not in its best era currently.

>>389827956
Well, you wouldn't know since you didn't play any of the games it seems.

>>389828098
>it's just not in its best era currently
I think it peaked during Oath or Origins

>>389813160
