Here is the only Ys game that never officially left Japan, and without the title screen, you'd probably never even realize that you were playing an Ys game.
While the stories behind their development differ, this reminds me of the eventual reception of Final Fantasy VIII. Everyone talks about VII, V is a hidden gem, VI has two camps depending on your end of the Pacific, but VIII's development was a rushed acid trip. They even forgot to back up or document the source code and had to rebuild it from the ground up for the re-release. All of the mechanics in VIII, most of which is shared with Tactics mind you, are far-reaching abstractions that run against the greater sense of visual realism in the character design, all while complementing the bat-shit storytelling that did not give two fucks. It's not an average game by any means, but it's not as often discussed today when compared to the 2,000's, at least before Square-Enix began multimedia compilations of VII & Tactics. If the felons supplanting Falcom's former rabble of charismatic inmates were anywhere near as talented as them or the Squaresoft squad, maybe Ys V might not have been a disaster. But we've seen buggy, imbalanced games become hits. Like Doom. That thing is held together with Scotch tape and still leaves a smile on players' faces. What you need is a vision--not necessarily a coherent one, as seen with FFVIII, but one you shoot for and keeps you focused. Ys V is the Greta Van Fleet of the series: deliberately standing in the shadow of its forebears, for better or for worse.
@@christopherthibeault7502 To be fair, VIII sold like hotcakes back in the day; it almost did as well as FF VII. Maybe it's hard to believe, but the 'entire Ys series' sold worse than just FF VIII (and I'd assume Ys V did worse than average). This tells you how ubiquitous FF used to be for some time. As for Ys V, it 'will' eventually be remade, it's just a matter of time (and it's certainly the one that needs it the most).
I liked this game,despite lot of other new gen YS fan disliked it since it doesnt aged well for them,i think as someone that played the early YS title long time ago then played it,it such a breath of fresh air without that Adol Bump system,not to mention i dig the story there.
The Ys series flew under the radar a bit. The first two games have a very unique and different gameplay style, but the later ones I've found to be really enjoyable
I really like Ys III theme remix at 5:06:11, which I find is better than the actual SNES port of Ys III. Overall, the music was what saved this game from becoming a forgettable RPG.
Still hoping Falcom remakes this and turns it into a true _Ys_ title instead of...whatever this is. I get that the original team had long departed, but even the new team could have followed the original formula.
I loved Ys 5, i finished it this august and i was surprised by it, being a huge Falcom fan and having playing every entry this was a pleasant experience, the story, gameplay and music was excelent, the only downside i had it was the magic system: totally useless.
a lot different but honestly it is a GOOD game. Rocking music as usual gameplay good too. It does not feel like an Ys game but honestly it IS and Ys game.

Would've been a lot better if the PS2 version was localized. Then people wouldn't have to suffer with this 😢.

I love the small details when you buying something , the 👉🏻 become👍🏻
I really, really frickin' hope they'll work on a Ys V remake after Trails In The Sky comes out. This game deserves a second chance

I wish the ps2 version of this game had a translation, can't find it anywhere.
2:31:40 wow a secret to add an option to change your hair in setting? That's new to me
Still the only Ys game we've never gotten localized in any form. Bit of an oddball for the series but it's fun.
I love this game! Sadly, when I discovered it, there was no English version and I never managed to beat it.

Good game
Se todo RPG fosse livre que bom seria.

Aquele dia que Ys resolveu brincar de Zelda
Tem até uma mina que chama Kakiriko nessa p0rra kkkkkk
Arguably, a disappointing follow up to Ys IV.
