Ys VIII

Picked up

>Hugo's great
I guess there are some people who like his gameplay style, huh.

Isn't it implied that at the end she and her dad end up "dying" on the dark continent or wherever it is they went to?

look at this smug cat

Im pretty sure it just says that they their last known location was Afroca or something.

What the fuck? Haven't gotten that far in the game but that's depressing as hell if true.

The environments suffered to make the new movement mechanics work, it was ultimately worth it.

It didn't have to. But given how technically incompetent Falcom is as a whole, it's not surprising it happened. Was it really worth it though? I won't be able to judge until the game comes over but it doesn't seem like it gives you that much more mobility freedom or range of motion in my opinion from watching the gameplay previews.

>ywn tickle her armpits and exposed sides

I mean you can run on pretty much every surface, glide and warp, it's pretty solid in terms of movemet. Having played it I'd say it was worth it.
>But given how technically incompetent Falcom is as a whole, it's not surprising it happened.
It was their first attempt at those kind of mechanics in a company of about 60 people, so yeah, go figure it's not executed perfectly.

I hated that they imply she goes to the dark continent and dies off screen. Fucking stupid.

So I dropped the series HARD after binge-playing
I - II - VI - Oath - Origin - VII
in that order to 100% completion, with origin and oath being peak Ys and SEVEN being really fun but awfully draining. Memories broke me. I realized it would be SEVEN 2 and backed the fuck up and now, after a year or so not playing, I feel like giving it another shot. What mentality should I approach it with? 100% from the start? multiple playthroughs?

also is it bad that SEVEN + starting Memories gave me massive burnout but 100+ hours of origin to unlock everything didn’t?

Hugo is fucking broken... And that's a FACT! I just wish the game was a tad more challenging, and then MOTHERFUCKING TOAL!!

Asexual memesters like you do far worse.

You have to playthrough Celceta at least twice to truly 100% it.

>just wish the game was a tad more challenging
nightmare boss rush toal pushed my shit in so hard it broke my play style entirely and forced me to rebuild it, but when everything clicked, I became a god

that’s fine really. I mean how should I treat a first playthrough? go with the flow or fine comb everything at all times from the start?

>nightmare boss rush toal pushed my shit in so hard it broke my play style entirely and forced me to rebuild it, but when everything clicked, I became a god
I'm currently finishing Toal on Hard and yet doesn't seem to be that much of a difference.

just do whatever, m8

make sure you grab all 3 of pic related and use them though. You need 6 total and they only give you three per play through.

Also there's three different sidequests you can miss by not talking to certain NPCs at certain points during the game.

>yet another game series ruined by fucking NISA
Kill me

>not enjoying Megaman in Devil May Cry
>not liking a sniper in the frontlines
>disliking a zoner in your virtua fighter
>hating a mage among your horsemen
>mocking a shit flinging chimpanzee surrounded by gorillas
hugo's fun exactly because he breaks the game

>not going nightmare from the start
I shiggy. there’s a pretty big difference from hard to nightmare, especially as far as boost mode is concerned. not to mention the nightmare boss rush drops you on an arena with the absolute bare minimum to beat a boss, Shion be damned

And the best thing is that he completely disrepects every single enemy except the bosses (minus both Dalles). Plebs use Hugo at long range.

Dilate

It's just boring, honestly. It's like an isometric Pocky & Rocky but without any real challenge.

Hugo was straight up Dalles' bitch, that whole part of his scenario was so stupid.

Ys has been dead since partyshit Seven, don't pretend otherwise.
