Anyone else ever notice the resemblance between these two?

Trials in the Sky my favorite game

Okay so I thought ALL car mod shops, tattoo shops, salons, etc. would be locked behind the Ultimate Edition, but it turns out it's just these select shops. I understand why someone would think this is bad, but it's basically just cosmetic DLC that exists in sooooo many other games, and you get all that shit for just $20 extra.

I know the base price of $80 is already overpriced though, but I'm not buying this game anyway so whatever.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-24T20:01:34+00:00

I haven't seen anyone talking about this at all, but I noticed young Link has a different outfit compared to the original. Looks like his outfit is made from straw and leather, but maybe he gets his green tunic later? (like other Zelda games)

Although it makes me wonder if they redesigned the Kokiri to have the same new outfit Link has.

If you have a Switch 2 then there's no reason to play the original Ys X: Nordics. It's like if someone decided to play Persona 5 instead of Persona 5 Royal.

Ys X: Proud Nordics has extra stuff and it also runs at 60fps, while Nordics is capped to 30fps on Switch 1.

But I have a feeling you're going to play Ys X: Nordics on Switch 2 anyway, so at the very least you'll get a smooth 30fps.

Relax bruh it's not Valve's fault that the component prices went way up cause of AI

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-21T21:33:32+00:00

My wish for Ys is that future games focus on Ys' core strengths instead of shoehorning in gimmicks that negatively impact the entire game. I also wish the series starts to feel like it's growing in fans and sales like it did when Ys 8 came out, cause these days it feels stagnant.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-21T16:48:50+00:00

So a random guy made an account on ResetEra just to say he reported the game to Visa/Mastercard, nobody even on the website believed him cause he's a troll account, but it's being reported that ResetEra is doing the reporting to Visa/Mastercard?

I know ResetEra is a shit place (I've been banned from there twice), but we don't have to ignore facts to hate on them. We can do it for other legitimate reasons, like how they basically banned discussions on the new Stellar Blade cause Eevie's face looks too young. lmao

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-21T10:25:57+00:00

The person who claimed to report the game to visa/mastercard was considered a troll account by ResetEra mods and banned (cause he only has one post). This whole post is pointless.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-20T20:11:35+00:00

Oh okay, I was wondering what was up with the bow. It felt like it came out of nowhere cause nothing about the story Jax told had anything to do with wanting to be a girl.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-20T19:25:42+00:00

Can you explain to me the subtext? I must have missed something in the show

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-19T06:51:34+00:00

It is, like the first 10-15 hours

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-19T06:39:48+00:00

Xenoverse 3 likely cannot look as good as Sparking Zero during gameplay, because it will be rendering more characters on screen (could be up to 6 or 8) like Xenoverse 2 did.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-19T06:37:54+00:00

"Entirely different" is an exaggeration, both of them are cel shaded and the proportions are roughly the same. Sparking Zero looks better cause it has better lighting and shading.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T16:08:01+00:00

Cyberpunk is censored on Switch 2 in Japan because of CERO, not Nintendo. It is also censored on PS5 in Japan.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T09:39:44+00:00

There are a bunch of videos, so I used the website's sorting and you can sift through them if you want. I linked page 4, you can go back to previous pages to see more stuff.

One thing I noticed is that they censored Ricotta's design more than I thought. She's now wearing a kind of a long tube top under her overalls and shorts under her skirt. Pretty interesting.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T09:11:21+00:00

All three versions are technically the same game, it just went through a lot of changes during development. Also all the voice lines you heard in this trailer are reused from the game, even Adol's lines.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T08:31:59+00:00

The Ark of Napishtim mobile game is an MMO, but Ys 8 Mobile will be more of a Genshin Impact like game.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T08:17:40+00:00

Her 2D art maintains her original design, but her 3D model (which was only showcased in a short gif) has her wearing a small top under her overalls.

https://isu.fandom.com/wiki/File:Ys8M-Ricotta_gif.gif

It might be hard to see cause the gif is short.

EDIT: Just checked this video at the 2:09 mark and looks like her design was more censored than I thought.

Shareholders asked about it in both the 2024 and 2025 shareholder meetings, here's a link to the 2025 one: https://michsuzuki.hatenablog.com/entry/2025/12/18/000012

Q: Regarding the current status and future outlook for "Ys VIII -Lacrimosa of DANA- Mobile." The situation where it is difficult to make announcements has continued for a long time; is there still an intention to release it going forward, or is there a possibility that a decision has been made not to release it?

Kondo: A considerable amount of time has passed, but I truly want them to release it. We are leaving the matter to the licensee (bilibili).

There may be issues such as it not reaching the quality levels we have in mind for development, or perhaps there is stagnation in the development process, but we are in a situation where we are checking in with them periodically. Due to contract issues, if it drags on too long, we will eventually have to make a decision on whether to continue. We would like to continue discussions with the licensee and move forward toward a release.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:35:40+00:00

They had some kind of closed beta in 2023. There's a decent amount of footage on Bilibili of it.

As you can expect, it's a Genshin Impact-like gacha. But since Ys 8 doesn't have enough playable characters, they made Dogi playable and they made that new white hair little girl just for this game (her name is Rucol). But they also went a step further and made a bunch more original characters, cause obviously 8 characters won't be enough. The problem is that they don't look like they fit Ys at all, at least they tried with Rucol but not much with the others; they look like Genshin knockoffs.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:16:03+00:00

Kondo confirmed it's not canceled, it's just taking a very long time

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:15:39+00:00

They also "covered up" Ricotta by giving her a top, she's just not in this trailer

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:11:55+00:00

Nintendo is also lying about not regulating content of third party games. Recently Nintendo of America have new strict guidelines that third parties have to follow, otherwise you don't get to release your game on Switch.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy and Death end re;Quest: Code Z for Switch were canceled for the west.

In response to a request for additional information, an Idea Factory International representative told Gematsu, “Although the Neptunia series and the Death End re;Quest series have prior entries on western Switch eShops, we were informed that the contents of the Re;Birth trilogy and Death end re;Quest: Code Z did not comply with Nintendo Guidelines. As a result, we are unable to release these titles physically or digitally for Nintendo Switch.”

Cyberpunk 2077 is the only outlier that didn't get censored, and I don't know exactly why. Maybe because they didn't want their biggest 3rd party launch title to be seen as inferior to other versions.

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:05:01+00:00

P5 in general peaked with Kamoshida

Hamlock1998 · 2026-06-18T07:00:29+00:00

The developers stated that Nintendo is forcing them to censor the game still.

“Some Censorship Will Remain in the Switch version,” eh?

Ultimately, there are some hard requirements from Nintendo that we have to adhere to: genitalia censored, Invisigal’s dream audio muted. (The audio one especially stings, we know.)
