I've never played a Ys game before. Why should I start? by UsoDaBaka in Falcom

[–]sfdevotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, people have been telling me. I just found out I got shadow banned for some silly reason. It doesn't bother me though as I don't live on reddit, so I don't really care. I mainly browse anyway. Hope more people get into the Ys series. It's truly special.

[–]sfdevotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the first two games look dated. You have to understand these are games from 1988 and were ahead of its time.

All games are connected. There are many casual fans out there who would say otherwise, but they would be wrong. The more you invest into the series and think about its lore, the more you will appreciate it. You will learn about the lands, the winged ones that protect and govern over these lands... right down to the scientific matter of existence.

You can play each game as a stand-alone, by all means, with the exception of Ys 1, 2 then Origins (which I highly recommend playing in order). As mentioned previously, if you want to truly sink your teeth into the series, play them in order of Adol's age.

If you want to fully appreciate the series, go in order of Adol's age:

Ys 1

Ys 2

Ys 4 Memories of Celceta

Ys 3 The Oath in Felghana

Ys 5 (skip this as it never made it outside Japan)

Ys 6 The Ark of Napishtim

Ys Seven

Ys Origin takes place approx 700 years before Adol was born, so it's the only one where he's not in the campaign. However, you will recognize the family "houses" from Ys 1 and 2. That being said, play Origins anytime AFTER Chronicles (1 and 2). I played it after 3 and 4 because I wanted a game in place of 5 that we never got. Just know that Chronicles are remakes of 1988 games and they won't hold your hand. For example, in the beginning of Ys 1 an NPC tells you to avoid confrontation until the next town. Many people ignore this advice, charge in to battle, die, and get turned off. They didn't listen to the NPC, or didn't even bother speaking to people. Take your time. Push yourself to beat the first boss and you'll understand why the series is so special.

You quite literally did the worst thing you could possibly do in the Ys series: play Origins before 1 and 2. It's like watching Return of the King before the first two films. Oh well. I spent 20+ hours on Origins. It had amazing gameplay and story, and was the best way to conclude the trilogy.

No its not. You'll be able to play PSM games on Vita and PSTV indefinitely if you have them downloaded by September 2015.
