OMG! This doesn't have anything to do with shit, but Whitey is the first video game RUclipsr i followed, its been some time since i saw a video from him and about a week or i asked myself "wtf happened to whitey?" Boy am i stoked i came across thos video 😆
There's a reason why the system after the bump combat was called the Napishtim Engine. given Ark of Napishtim was the first game using that engine and not The Oath in Felghana. which reminds me i still need to go back and finish up The Ark of Napishtim
I didnt know the Ys games were so short! Might be able to work a few of em into my 2024 games, i know i have Chronicles 1 & 2, Origins, and Oath in Felghana on steam.
The Ys games after Memories of Celceta were disappointments IMO. Ys 8 would have been cool had it not been for the constant return to hub for "muso battles," shoehorned toilet humor involving that disgusting sailor I wished would die, and over-reliance in using a bunch of dumb sidecharacters. Ys9 was awful because of the "muso" crap, the bastardization of European folklore, and glorification of national cuckoldry. There is also way less mystique in the Ys setting with all the "not-Roman Empire" everywhere. I wish they would retcon much of the series and focus on adventures of Adol and maybe one assistant instead of party-oriented action that is best reserved for other games. On a side note, I loved Ys: Origins and thought Memories of Celceta was suprisingly good.
@DerekCivilDefense I think you're misunderstanding what a musou game is here. Nothing in Ys 8 or Ys 9 even remotely resembles that genre of games. And saying that Ys 9 bastardizes European folklore is wild to me. Pretty much every Ys game uses real world locations and myths as motifs for monsters and settings, but these inspirations from the real world are never the main focus of the games. In fact, pretty much every single fictional story is in some ways derivative of real world historical events or other works of fiction. I think holding folklore or history so high up on a pedestal that you feel the need to gatekeep people using it as an aesthetic theme or for worldbuilding is a little silly. I didn't enjoy Ys Origin, but I wouldn't say it bastardized Christian folklore by taking place in a Tower of Babel equivalent - it was just a motif they used as a framework for the setting. Hate Ys 9 if you want, but don't belittle it based on the fact that you hold these old stories sacred I would love to hear what exactly you mean by the "glorification of national cuckholdry" as well. I think if these words are in your head after playing the game, then you probably need to chill out

Love the strong opinions here! Love seeing how everyone different. But I do agree origins is the bomb.
