What's "Y's"?

Anyway, Taito has developed remakes of YsIII and YsIV for PS2 as well, and they are really bad. Especially YsIV. I hope this one will be better.

You can pre-order this game from www.play-asia.com.

There's a new copy of Ys V for the Super Fami on eBay right now with no bids. Item number 8250227661. I've been eying it... but I'll probably pass.

I've herd Ys 5 is crap stay far away please

I liked V, I actually beat it without a walkthrough or anything on the Super Fami. There's an expert version which might be better, the regular version was kind of easy.

I'll be picking it up, but I'm waiting for Yesasia to put up a preorder, it seems like that's who I got Ys 4 from, I was very impressed with them. I was not impressed with Liksang however

Seldane · 01/20/2006, 06:45 PM

Lik-Sang is crap. Beware.

Ys 5 is crap?

I thought everyone hate III because it was a side-scroller!

Keranu · 02/09/2006, 05:41 PM

I don't think a lot of Ys fans hate Ys III, they just don't like it as much as an Ys game because it's so different, but they still enjoy it as a game itself, like I do. Ys V seems to be a toss up, I haven't played through it though so I can't even give my own opinions really.

Seldane · 02/12/2006, 05:15 PM

Ys V is the best in the series. Period.

Dark Fact · 02/12/2006, 05:56 PM

If it's the best, why do people say it's crap?

Seldane · 02/13/2006, 08:57 AM

'Cause people haven't played it and then just assume. For some strange reason.

Play through YsV entirely. It's an amazing game.

I don't hate.. III i liked it still i feel it was a filler title.

Just to keep fans happy untile, Ys IV came out but that's just me

Keranu · 02/13/2006, 04:19 PM

I've been wanting to play through Ys V, but I want to own the actual cart before I try playing through it. The thing that makes me see why a lot of Ys fans don't like it is because it seems very different from the series, I can agree with that to the small amount I have played, but it still looks it might be a really cool game to play through anyways.

Seldane · 02/14/2006, 12:04 PM

I got a complete copy of Ys V today. Finally. I've been waiting for this day.... All my life!!

Or maybe not. But almost. Hehehehe.

I've actually been playing Ys V (SFC) recently, I've had it for ages but never played it until a few days ago... I like it, it's a solid Action/RPG, with some pretty nice graphics, but most Ys fans might be put off by the fact that the game has no voice or CD music... still, I'm enjoying it and will probably finish it before too long (I heard it's pretty short).

Dark Fact · 11/23/2006, 12:46 PM

That's why people hated it? No voice acting or CD music?

I mean it's okay as long as the action fun factor is there, right? Right?

ParanoiaDragon · 11/23/2006, 03:31 PM

It's more about how Adol controls, & how the music was composed. It doesn't have that synth rock feel that all the other games have. But, it's not a bad game, it's just different. If any game is bad, it's Mask of the Sun, though, the PS2 version is much worse, but even that, for me, I still found some enjoyment in it.

I never got into it because you don't ram through enemies any more. I'll finish it someday, but there are still way too many other games I'd rather play (or replay, like all the ramming Ys games) in the meantime.

No, it is a bad game. There's nothing "good" about it. The gameplay is horrid, the graphics are nasty, the music sucks, the bad controls render it practically unplayable (and why is Adol ice skating?).

Easily the worst RPG on PS2. I wish I could find some reviews of it (it sucks so hard that nobody's played it - that's why there aren't any reviews of it). What did Famitsu give it? 5? Something like that.

Even Ys IV PS2 was better than this, and THAT is saying a lot.

ParanoiaDragon · 12/03/2006, 06:38 PM

I was talking about the SNES Ys 5, not the PS2 one. Some people say it's a bad game, but it's not, it's just different from the others.

GUTS · 12/11/2006, 02:30 PM

The SNES Ys V was good, but the lack of CD music and cinemas did hurt the experience. I still enjoyed it though, it reminded me of Brainlord for some reason (which is another game I really liked). Has anybody played the "hard" version of Ys V? I was always curious what was different.
