I was a little surprised by your complaint with combat cause I was thinking... I never found flash guard or dodge that hard to trigger... and I'm the type of person who rarely guards cause I swear I forget the shoulder button exists and thats almost always what its mapped to... but then I remembered I would just spam the dodge and guard any time the enemy seemed poised to be ready to attack so that probably had something to do with it. for the record I only ever played on normal... I did try the hardest difficulty once but I can't get past the 3rd boss... i'm glad the game never punishes you for taking an easier mode lol. Great video and looking forward to seeing more!
I am interested in this game since my cousin is really into it and I am planning to get the PS5 version. But that whole reliance on parrying does sound offputting considering the only game I ever enjoyed parrying in was the God of War trilogy. I am hoping this game's timing windows aren't TOO strict like most parry systems.
@@civilwarfare101 I don’t think so. It would lessen the results of it though. I end up just doing a lot of rolling around and getting to the back of enemies instead. Difficulty would also probably decrease their HP and increase your damage output
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox has demos out on Playstation and Switch. Maybe PC, I am not sure. It has the same mechanic. You should try it and see if it bothers you or not!
It would be nice! It is such a good game. At least it's a budget release at $39.99. I think it's worth a rebuy and replay if you've already played it once.
I Absolutely love Ys 8 Lacrimosa of Dana😭😭

Thanks for the follow last night from Taylor’s stream!
@@DrLevelUp Thanks for the follow back, always nice to see more Falcom content that seems level headed~
*adds to cart* sounds very interesting!
It’s a good time! Anything Nihon Falcom does is good, in my opinion. JRPG comfort food

I definitely got better at it towards the end of the game, but it was challenging to get going.

Does difficulty effect the timing windows?

I wish there was a way to upgrade the PS4 version to PS5. Such a good game. Thanks for the review.
