5 really does need a remake, it never has been released in English officially and is also the worst Ys game going.

I care about the overarching plot insofar as Adol should never get on another boat again.

Ys 6 had this whole thing going where it had its own plot but if you looked at its plot in comparison to previous games, you could see a lot of parallels between it and previous titles and I am convinced that they weren't just coincidental. Winged beings descending to an island to act as deities, high-tech machinery created by said deities, high-tech ancient ruins that a character in ys origins shares his name with, bosses that are leftover monstrous creations on the islands that share their names with a similar beast in ys 3, and then some sort of mysterious creature in the ruins of amnesia that is never touched upon that I'm left wondering what its importance is that it is left there in the tanks, that there were so many tanks with it being the only one around, that the good ys 6 opening focused on it for a little bit, all that and more. There are just all these random tidbits connecting it to other titles in ways that make the series feel more and more like a conspiracy theorist's cork board

They made the entire story of VIII that Adol falls off a boat and you spend the rest of the game collecting resources to build a new village so you can eventually build a new boat and leave the island

Dear Sir/Madam,

This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we may have not yet met. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. But please accept my sincere apologies.

I am Mrs Graca Machel Mandela the wife to late Nelson Mandela The former President of South Africa from 1994 till 1999 who pass away on December 5, 2013 after long time illness on his physical, I managed to get your contact details through your Country Online services here in Johannesburg South Africa in my desperate search for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business transaction,

As the Third wife of late Nelson Mandela, My late husband deposit cash the trust fund account on my name here in south Africa, for self keeping and as they all know that I am originally from Portuguese East Africa Mozambique, he did this because he knew that once he death, the entire family’s and the ex wife’s will come toward me for his heritance, now after his death the whole family have come as my late husband Nelson Mandela do inform me, it really looks like he know what will happen after his death,

Opposing me that I should hand over the asset to them, and good a thing that when my late husband deposited the money into the trust fund account on my hand we used my son name Mr Malengani Machel, who is currently living here in Johannesburg South Africa, for security reason,

This amount of money was deposited into security and finance company here in South Africa through political diplomatic channels, After his death, I and my son being in Johannesburg, South Africa, decided to transfer this money out of South Africa for my family use since it is the only money that my family can lay hand on and I have all the original depositary documents of the money that was kept on my son name Malengani Machel

In acknowledgment of executive powers and the various business opportunities in your country, I am requesting your assistance in helping me transfer this money into your company/ personal or business account. For your assistance in this transaction, I offer you 20% of the total sum for compensation. And all other expenses you incur during this operation will be credited to you.

Any Ys title on Steam is a good place to start.

Ys I&II is the "classic" style of gameplay where you attack enemies by bumping into them from behind or at angles. I don't think it's a terrible place to start unless you really don't want to deal with a game clearly built around older mechanics and world exploration conventions. If you don't play it first but do find yourself enjoying the other games I would still come back to it since it is sort of a pivotal series of events for Adol.

Ys Origin is top to bottom a well balanced action RPG affair, brought down only by the fact that you do have to play it at least twice to see the real ending (just make sure you don't play as Hugo before you go with the third character who unlocks after you beat the game once) and that you spend the whole game in one location so there is not as much variety. Also maybe this is just me, but I don't really recall too many memorable tracks which is an anomaly for the franchise.

Ys Oath in Felghana is my favorite title overall, I love the variety of locations/environments, the soundtrack is my overall favorite, and the challenge is perhaps the best balance (by comparison I find Ys Origin gets too easy by the end).

Ys VI is a bit rough around the edges, since it was the prototype that would lead to Origin and Felghana, but it's still fun for the same reason the other two. I still feel it's worth playing because like I&II it's kind of an important series of events for our red-haired hero.

There are other titles of course on PSP and Vita, VII and Memories of Celceta. Both still great but at that point you are getting to the party-based Ys games which are kind of a different beast from the the above Steam titles.

I literally could not understand how to properly bump enemies in Ys 1. I spend like 10 min dying to the first enemies and gave up lol. Origins owns though.

You have to hit them from the side, back or where they obviously don't have a weapon. You also need to hit them with Adol's weapon having side.

I think I was trying to come in at an angle which would work for a few bumps and then I'd get off target and smash my face into them until dead.

I know there was talk of a Nier remaster if Automata did well so I'm hoping that comes to PC as then I can retire my PS3 from being plugged in all the time.

They put out a trailer that said the pc version was out on the 10th, but then they took down that trailer so that was probably a mistake.

Ah I just assumed that was a PEGI version of the prior trailer as it had the EU release date.

I feel the same way about certain games sometimes, currently it's hard for me not to vibrate into a mess with regards to River City Ransom Underground, but understand that getting overexcited about an upcoming game is likely to cause you to enjoy it less if you build it up too much in your heart and it turns out to just be a cool game instead of manna from heaven.

The first Nier is pretty much completely irrelevant in this context, the part to be excited about is that this is basically Revengeance 2 in a more interesting setting.
