The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has first details on Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, the next entry in the Ys series slated for a summer 2016 release on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan.
In an interview with the magazine, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo said that in addition to speedy, party-based battles and various skills, there will be a new jump action and other elements, including a castaway and co-op system. On this island, players can build a “Drifting Village” base to rescue other castaways that drift ashore. There will also be “Counter-Attack Battles” where players must defend the base.
Kondo added that with the new setting of Siren Island, they’re being a lot more particular about the atmosphere of the terrain, scenery, and such.
Wondering whether Sony has removed games from PS Plus Extra without warning before? It unfortunately has, and it's not a good practice.
So ps5 version is still available? ... I am currently about 70% through the game ... would have been a bummer if I could not finish it.
It's good if you like high action rpgs. I really enjoyed my time with it. Story and characters are good as well.
All YS games are very casual simple games with graphics lacking behind 5 years+. This said I really do enjoy them. If you like old school action based JRPG like Kingdom Hearts or Secret of Mana that are a bit jenky and do not mind graphics from 2012 this might be for you.
A new NIS America sale includesThe Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, The Silver Case 2425, Ys VIII, and many others.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include BlazBlue, Guacamelee, Guilty Gear, Overwatch, The Legend of Heroes, TowerFall, Ys VIII, and more.
Woah... Co-Op as in online too?
I can't wait! Love me a good RPG.
Ys games start with Adol washing up somewhere a lot, lol.
I always feel disappointed with the stories in Ys games. I want to enjoy the series as I like the combat system and exploration. The introduction of online always seems to cheapen the storytelling. (Most recently Xenoblade Chronicles X. Should have been Called Xenoblade Online imo)
Here is hoping they can give a bit more interesting narrative in VII.
Hoping this is good
