Keep it going for sure! There's a lot of great characters and music tracks! I think with each game, they get a little better on the systems they implement.

@ I’ll definitely play till the end! So far my top 3 are Ys origin, Ys Felghana and Ys I in that order. I am playing in story order so haven’t touched ark, Ys 7 or IX yet. I just love the combat of the top down cuz I feel like it’s very skill based and the bosses are super mechanical and you get punished more since there are no healing items. Whereas in the party Ys games, I can flash guard pretty easily and spam healing items when I mess up.

@ also yeah soundtrack is huge to me In every game (which is the main reason why Ys origin is so high lol) but Ys VIII OST is very good so far

Ok

thank you! It's so good. I definitely have forgotten it by now, but I should relearn it.

Good picks! I totally missed that PS2 Ys4 by Taito. I knew about the PS2 version of 5, hadn't played that one either. Perhaps one day! Yeah that Great Ordeal tune is very similar to the beginning of Far Beyond the Sun. Different enough in parts I'd say, but I can see why they opted to create different tunes, Ys has plenty of room to be Ys and not something else. "Walking the path of legend" shoulda been in Celceta. I'd say they've generally improved on music and arrangements, but maybe those early middle titles kinda changed too much. They've seemed to hit a stride recently in doing no wrong. I hope that maintains for years to come. I am a huge Yngwie fan and its probably why I have stuck with Ys for all the mainline games and learned a lot of the music from the games.

@@rossdixonellis Yeah, I played one through four on PS2. Of course one and two are essentially the Eternal versions of one and two with some slight differences either in the sound driver or perhaps recomposed from scratch? But I didn't beat five, though it seems like most people consider the PS2 version of 5 is a little bit better than the SNES version. And then in old Japanese magazines there was listings for a PC-FX(successor to the PC Engine) version of Ys 5, but it obviously never came out. I think Hudson Soft was rumored to be the one behind that, but there's basically no information on that version and if it ever truly got worked on at all. As far as music, back in the early nineties, it's actually the Ys games and various other CD games like Gate of Thunder, Sapphire, & Lords of Thunder that opened my interest to similar music. Ended up loving Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment,Joe Satriani, Vinnie Moore, etc. I do like Yngwie, but I still need to get around to checking out more of his stuff.

wha???? lol

This is such a cool track!

that's hysterical! howlin! hahaha!

@@rossdixonellis Glad to be of service 😁👍

Thanks for watching! Ys is my favorite series and its amazing. so excited for Ys X nordics!

I'm so glad people somehow find this. An OST that needs to get rediscovered. Very challenging and fun to play! Gotta do these one offs sometimes to branch out what I do!

Only the HITS are played in Don's gym

@@damiencrossley7497 locke is thrilled!

@@rossdixonellis ....but i realized.....airship, then heardd older town theme, GO to vector!

facts

I don't think I seen anyone give this one a proper cover which is a shame since it's a beautiful tune!

Thanks. It might be my favorite ballad in the game!

Old games just had esoteric solutions back then. Vague clues, back tracking, etc. Also the mirror portal room could get confusing, lol. Old game BS, I recall trying to solve it and then just looking up after I got stuck. I still love it, Try out the second game, I think its a little more straight forward and about the same length. It just gets better. They all get better with regards to their own respective engines and systems!

@rossdixonellis Don't get me wrong, I figured it out, but it was tons of walking around aimlessly with that mask on, and clicking on walls with the hammer, not to mention the ludicrous amount of backtracking. All in all, still a fun game (haven't beaten Dark Fact yet though, but ill get to it soon enough)

I bailed out on the super arrange version because of how hard it is, lol. Maybe I'll get to it another day!

of course!

Thanks for the comment! You bring up good points! On Geis's pronunciation, apparently in Japanese he's called ガッシュ GASH! Which is a pretty awesome name! I like the character. He's critical, headstrong, "my way or highway" sorta guy. I like that he's edgy, too edgy is even better! Sort of the anti-adol too. I guess on the topic of grinding. Yeah, you grind a little every game. The process is nearly the same. Maybe I just took me hitting fast forward as getting "bored with the grind" for a reason to knock it down to B. Maybe the temptation to hit speed up is more saying something about me than Dawn of Ys. It's got some excellent music, art, the voiceover stuff is fun although mixed a little crappily. I play a few tunes from Dawn of ys specifically, Walking the Path of Legend, A Great Ordeal (which sounds very similar to Yngwie Malmsteen's Far Beyond the sun) I should give this version of Ys more respect on the music alone. Then again I've talked to people who got frustrated with grinding special abilities in Ys Seven while I thought that had pretty good pacing! But I didn't really "grind grind" in that one let alone try to 100% it.

The only part of Dawn of Ys that really required grinding was the boss kidnapping Timmy in the ice cave. That was the worst part of the entire game. I never minded grinding in the early Ys games, the bump attack made leveling up a less arduous process from other RPGs. For some reason though now that I think about it, grinding seemed more fun in I & II (TGCD) than Dawn, albeit more time consuming.

A real funny thing that happens in Dawn is when the companion kill steals and snags that XP from you. Took a look back at my streams of Dawn of Ys and the idle HP recovery seemed A LOT slower than other games. Maybe I'm wrong but the pc engine ys 1 didn't take as long in hp recovery. It's still a very fun game though. I love the style, it's beautifully made. There's a saturation in the color of those games that just fill me with joy. I think when it comes down to the three styles of Ys games I still gotta put Ys1 chronicles at the top for bump style, Oath for that sword style. And 8 for the companion style. The real answer is play everything and enjoy everything but my elevator pitch is those three. I can't wait for Ys X Nordics...

@@rossdixonellis I too have always thought HP refills were slower in Dawn of Ys.

@@rossdixonellis Oh was it "Gash"? I assumed it was pronounced like rise/rice just with a G, similiar to Ys sounding like Geese without an G or ease. Wouldn't call him an Anti-Adol cuz they do have some stuff in common, just their execution in what they have in common is different I'd say. I mean I get the point on using speed ups in games, I'm frequently faulty on that too due to my experience in the early 2000s when getting to know emulators. Yeah the soundmixing is.. a thing in Dawn of Ys, and best voice work is provided by G(a)ruda who is voiced by the one and only Lawrence Simpson aka MasakoX who is part of TeamFourStar's Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Yeah the music in Dawn of Ys is very solid, and basically my 2nd favorite in the series overall with Ys 6 taking the cake, and I really really dislike what Memories of Celceta did by not only removing ALOT of tracks from Dawn of Ys but also arranging alot of them really.. not to my liking xD

C B C D C D G!!! Then a little riff up higher going D F F# G F# G A G A trill D and E like dedededede!

Psh, it's my final save file ever! What? Do you got memory cards or something?

There's a wrong warp on a particular exit tile that reverts you back to the "world of balance". I saved over my file before I realized I soft locked. I was at the end of the game. But all is good. I had an autosave about an hour before this and eventually beat kefka... but did I actually save the world by softlocking? Hmmmm

매우 감사합니다!!!

lol, i agree. I should maybe boost that jank up!!
