Ys

Why is this game so much better than Xenoblade Chronicles 2 despite having the budget of a shoe string

because falcom is a good studio which is too based for this board

The fact they made the Trails of Cold Steel series negates anything good about Ys and it's games. Sorry user.

could just have a ys thread but we'll just end up arguing over party vs solo mechanics
anyway ys games are good and you should play them

I've only played Ys 8 and I liked it. What now?

For similar (and enjoyable) experiences play either 7 or Celceta
For non party gameplay Origin

Try the older ones, they are generally a blast.

haha

Yeah nu-falcom and their trails games has completely turned me off even trying out the modern Ys titles.

play origin

Because it's a stylish action metroidvania that only pretends to be RPG. RPG suck.

is this some kind of bait you've cooked up on /vrpg/

Modern Ys has that waifu pander shit just as bad as Cold Steel. Falcom is going down the drain fast in the past 8 years.

Origin is the best

Ys had waifu pander since day 1.

You haven't played Ys IX.

The only girl in the roster there that is a waifu is White Cat, and literally every fucking Ys has one. Raging Bull has a boyfriend, Doll has a girlfriend. Ys IX is less fanservice pandering than VIII.

Combat. Xenoblade would be a far better series if they ditched the MMO shit.

Curious, because Xenoblade X is the best in the series while being most like an MMO.

Xenoblade is a good game trapped inside of a bad game. The base foundation of good combat, good open world, and good mechanics is there. But all of the stuff tacked on top like writing, characters, design, etc are usually lacking (especially in XBC2)

XBCX is the best xenoblade game because it is the least xenoblady game in the series

Ys8 was a traditional casual adventure JRPG, something we haven't seen on modern consoles. It was great because there was very little stress. The player could play at their own pace. That said, PS4 could use Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

You know what would make it even better? Actually controlling your characters.

Why is Ys so good and Trails so shit? Why can't they make a good Trails game too?

And it's important to add that "at their own pace" also includes rolling around at the speed of sound.

Trails is trying to be an interactive light novel and Ys is a video game.

Trails is story focused, borderline VN and japs can't tell a good story for shit
Ys is almost pure gameplay, well, Ark engine Ys is anyway.

Tokyo Xanadu blows Trails out of the water.

Inferno in 8 is still a pretty good challenge even with how broken Flash Guard and Dodge are. It makes the exploration more tense.

Is Ys Ix going to be good? It looks kinda edgy and bad

Redpill me on Tokyo Xanadu, how does it stack up to other action RPGs?

Based.

I heard from reviews by Japanese players that the gameplay was good but the plot wasn't as good as Ys 8

I'm It's not as consistently good as Ys VIII, but it's still very good and worth playing.

I actually disagree with that. I personally prefer Ys IX's plot - though I could see how folks might disagree.
