- The reason for the incorrect date in the video was because Goodreads lied to me and I only realized this after double-checking. The book releases on the 18th which if you're watching on upload day means that the release is 2 days away. Hope you enjoy!

I don't think I ever expected for there to even be an Ys VIII novelization, let alone getting the chance to review it. Here are my thoughts and feel free to ask any further questions you have in the comments.
Ys 8 is one of my top 5 favorite games ever, when i found out this book came out i bought both paperback and hardcover for my game collection/library
Loved that you covered this, I was interested in the novelization as I’m also a big fan of Ys and a reader as well and after this I definitely think I’ll give it a try. Also nice taste in books I love the storm light archive as well! What is that Priority of an Orange Tree book/series about? The covers for it are incredibly beautiful
I love the Roots of Chaos series covers, so gorgeous. Both are epic fantasy in the same vein as Stormlight, but not as long (800-900 pages per book), the first one is inspired by the legend of Saint George and the dragon but the author gives it a significant twist. Won't go into details in case you want to give it a read, but they're great books.
Hope you enjoy Lacrimosa and Stormlight 5 once that comes next year!
i agree with u
i just got the ebook from them and it is a good read. It is my favorite YS game by far and it feels like i am reminiscing playing the game all over again
Preordered mine. Won't have time to replay the game and relive all those feeling. Reading will take way less time then playing. If I ever decide to replay the game, I'll have to make full use of the save files to create my own sub chapters.
Ys series need is own Light Novel & Manga once Falcom manage to connect all Adol adventures in the timeline. They don't need to be perfect. People just want to relive their play session without having to replay the game. Reading always being faster then listening to audiobook, watching tv/pc and playing games.
Certainly, it makes revisiting the adventure a lot more accessible.
Wow, they turned the game into a NOVEL!? Well, this might be a great gift for my mom. She is not a gamer and anime is.....kind of a turn off for her (she thinks it's too perverted). But I loved the story to Ys 8 and I think she would too
Definitely worth a shot I'd say. Now you've got me thinking about if my mom would enjoy the book.
@@CommRio Given the fact that the game had one of the best written female characters in recent memory, I'd say, if she is into that kind of thing, it's worth a shot.
@@filipinowhiteboy Did ya get the book for your mom yet?
@@rooneysetiawan3302 I did and I read it with her. I don't think she was as invested it as I was but she listened all the same.
My first reaction is "why the hell do you want a novelization of a game?" Go play the game!
awesome review
it's not politicized at all is it? Looking at the authors previous work I am a bit nervous to purchase this
I don't know what you mean by politicized but as I said in the video this is the same story as the game. If you enjoyed the game's story then there's nothing additional that I think would change that in the book
You read the whole book right? By politicized I mean any feminism/lbgtq agenda pushing things that seem to be in everything. You mentioned a romance that took you by surprise as well@@CommRio
their question wasn't that complex, what do you mean you dont know what they mean?@@CommRio
@@B1az1ngSuN it’s not that the question is complicated it’s that it’s vague. People have different ideas of what politicized is and so that’s why I ask, so I can give an accurate answer based on this person’s standards
they asked if there was any woke stuff in there basically, did you delete their comment? would like to know that answer too@@CommRio
