I'm cautiously optimistic. I enjoyed Seven and Celceta quite a bit, though they still couldn't hold a candle to I & II or Dawn of Ys. Curious to see if Falcom goes back to their action-RPG roots or drifts closer to finally making a "AAA" type Ys game.
Bring the hype.
FYI...Hardcore Gaming 101 released a book listing, in the site's opinion, the 200 greatest games. An Ys game made the list..but it's Oath in Felghana...
I love
Oath in Felghana, but that's a rather bizarre pick.
For starters (and I bet Exhuminator will attest to this as well),
Ys Origin uses the same engine and is superior in every possible way.
Additionally,
Ys Book I & II and
Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys are also better games (in my opinion) - not to mention the fact that
Ys Book & II is probably the most "defining" game of the series.
Felghana is probably like the 4th or 5th best
Ys game, I'll concede that much.
Overall, that top 200 list is....... interesting. It seems oddly lacking in second gen games, as there are several HG101 writers who really seem to prefer that era.
I think I should write a book about my top 200 games - everything would be ancient and 75% RPGs!
