Ys X: Nordics

This was my first ever exposure to the Ys series, but thankfully the story is self contained to this game. Speaking of the story, the story was quite enjoyable, and as a Norwegian I can appreciate a lot of the inspiration and themes from Viking culture. Though I gotta say that some of the names of the other in-universe countries made me chuckle, "Ispania" and "Danmerk" being some of them. The only real negaitive I can say is that the game feels a bit limited in the begining, but it opens up more later. All in all, it's not a super huge game, but the gameplay and story is quite enjoyable. It's worthwhile to check out if you're already interested

Este juego es básicamente una estafa, ha estado a 60€ desde que anunciaron una versión mejor a 70€ que no tiene dlc de upgrade, meandose no solo en los que compramos el juego en el primer año si no a los despistados que lo hayan comprado en los ultimos 5 meses. Es cierto que existe un descuento para los que ya tengan el X base, pero tiene varios problemas: - Es del 34%, yo compre el juego con un 20% de descuento y aun así el total aun me saldria a 90€ o mas - Por algún motivo no esta disponible de salida, lo ponen el 6 de mazo, que yo entiendo que es para poder estafar algún fan extra del juego que no pueda con el fomo o no se haya enterado, no sea que le salga el descuento en la lista de deseados -Por otro motivo desconocido, este descuento tiene caducidad, es solo hasta agosto, obviamente antes de esa fecha no van a meter ningún descuento decente, no sea que puedas jugar al proud nordics por menos de 80€

first off get the proud version instead. But for my time with this one... Pros: The music once again from the people of YS is out of the park, all of the combat, boat included, are top stuff and very fluid. The dialog feels very natural with your party/crew. Hardly any missables this time around as apposed to YS9 Grinding is not at all required The power to find new islands and go where you want or fast travel there is a breath of fresh air after the last game's town. The fact that each time the music changes you can make it list off which track it is. Cons: It's too easy. Like I played my first time on nightmare and didn't hit double digits in the game overs. I think this is because they made the revive system too forgiving. I'm talking beating super boss first try and beating foes ranked level 77 while I'm level 31 No rainbow drop recipe in the game... If you know you know. No one can accurately say what is in this game for collectables or missables due to the proud version. Mastering skills does nothing this time around nor achivment based (Granted some new skills will unlock depending on mastery but not all) The seagull bar...... (If you're missing 4 food entries it's here.) And the cool but I couldn't test/use. The fact this game allows co-op is a great touch. There are enough bottles that even a nightmare run can get all achivments in one go. All in all I'd call this game a slam dunk and a real fun time. Combat if quick enough to let you feel powerful but the heavy hitters still make sure you're engauged. If you want a game somewhere along the lines of Xenoblade, or tales of, with an interesting story and lots of exploring then give this/proud nordics a chance!

冒険者アドルの伝記として語られるイース シリーズの一作。 今作はバディ物で戦闘も二人一組で行われる。アドルの結末が分かっている以上登場人物はほぼ一期一会となっているのでキャラの印象が薄くなりがち。難易度ハードでクリア。 ・GOOD ①戦闘：戦闘アクションはもう完成されているようなものだが、今作は二人組の操作を入れ替えたり技も個人技と協力技の使い分けをしながら戦う。戦闘はテンポよく進み技も豊富でいろんな技から自分に合った技を選んで戦えるのは楽しい。しかし、パリィをする事で協力技の威力が上がっていくというシステム上こちらから攻めるよりも相手のガードをパリィしてカウンターを行うのが一番良いという仕様になっている。 ・BAD 特筆すべき悪い点は特になし。 ・総評・ アクションは相変わらず完成されていてテンポ良く気持ちよく倒せるので面白い。パリィからのカウンターやそこから入る映像演出も良かった。シナリオや寄り道要素に関しては過去作とそんなに変わらない印象で、登場人物も一期一会が原則で続編に再登場するとかほぼ無いので特に印象にも残らないのは残念だがこれはシリーズ経験者特有だと思います。完全版商法を考えると完全版を購入したほうが良いとは思いますが。アクションRPGとしては面白いのでおすすめです。

32:9 works out of the box. Though I don't think you can choose the placement of the UI. Not really an issue in this game though. I enjoyed this game. I played Oath in Felghana about 14 years ago and it's quite different. Combat and exploration though, feel familiar, and that's a good thing. Just far less challenge. If you want a casual Ys experience, I imagine this is the game to go with. As for story, well they sure show their genius here like in any JRPG. You see, by making it so bad, and causing your intelligence to be so insulted, you can't help but focus only on the cool gameplay. Works every time. Honestly though, I skipped at least 95% of scenes. Somehow I doubt I missed anything. Just play the game.

こっちにはRemote Play Togetherがあって、完全版にはRemote Play Togetherがないのなんで？

I just finally got this and started playing it today around 8pm.. It's now 2am as I very reluctantly turn it off knowing I should sleep tonight as i could easily pull an all-nighter playing this. I'm playing back through some games and finally playing others as I work my way through the entire series in timeline order; Origin, Chronicles (Book) 1 and 2. Nordics, Memories of Celceta, Oath in Felghana, Lacrimosa of Dana, Ark of Napishtim, Seven, then Monstrom Nox. The first one I ever played and beat was Ark of Napishtim.. I had no idea any backstory of anyone or anything. While you dont need to play the others to enjoy the individual adventures, I do recommend it to understand references; Who is Dogi and the doctor? What stormwall surrounding Esteria? (Chronicles is a bit odd with its bump attack system, but easy enough to get the hang of.) Being as it is the newest in the series, obviously the graphics are absolutely amazing. Almost the majority of the game has voice acting.. except in a few random parts and it makes no sense why, other than too many nameless NPCs. The story became intriguing the moment the "duos" mechanic is introduced. Im also liking where i think theyll be taking Karja's character development. The two things i wish they would change is 1) duos mode. You either need to approach the enemy at the speed of an escort quest or turn it off every time you want to close distance (so far, anyway.) Blocking enemy attacks also doesnt make much sense; you can block the unblockable, anticipated attacks, but some normal attacks break your defenses? And you dont know the attack will break it until they hit you? 2) Adol's random voice lines. Hes not exactly silent protagonist, but hes always been silent enough to immerse you more into the character. i dont recall him ever having actual voice lines in parts like the story or approaching the healing stones and its thrown me off a few times. 9/10! Would be 10/10 if the duos mode wasnt the way that it is, but being a core combat mechanic loses it a point. That doesnt change that ill be binge playing this game to completion!
