Ys 8 is so good I don’t see how 9 can top it.

The person who arrives last is fined, regardless of whether that person's late or not.
Just in case, I'd just like to say that I love Trails and this thread has been good in the past for discussing/sharing falcom stuff. I've avoided reading it for years since I'm still trundling through Cold Steel 1 but you guys are cool and falcom is cool.

Ys 8 has the boss theme CRIMSON FIGHTER so unless 9 brings something better, then 8 wins, sorry I don't make the rules. :colbert:

Hmm. A decent composition but relies to heavily on the metal elements without a solid connection within the rhythm section. I declare Ys 8 the winner until further challenges.

Still a good fight theme though.

It is! Apparently he is meant to be notably changed by acute circumstance in Ys 9. I've not read much since I want to play unspoiled, but all I did see is that he was missing from early trailers/promo material to suggest he wasn't even present.

what other places are there where falcom is talked about that has a similar vibe to this thread. you know, just in case.

i've heard not so great things about other places that discuss falcom but maybe those things were wrong, i don't know.

If the unofficial official discord doesn't suffice https://discord.gg/falcom

Then hit ADTRW up since the anime forum is, unsurprisingly, fond of JRPGs and has at least 2 discords set up.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
After bouncing off it a while back, I came back around to Trails in the Sky FC and man I just adore Estelle. She's a really good character and it's great seeing her grow and mature throughout the game. I haven't finished FC yet, but assuming I'm here for Estelle, what other Trails games should I play? Is it just FC and SC for Estelle-focused games?

Also play 3rd and head on to Zero.

But yes, it's just FC and SC for Estelle-focused games.

Sky FC and SC are the games where she's the main character, but she has some really good scenes in 3rd and Zero.

Imagine being one of the people (like me) who got stuck in 2011 when it originally came out on the PSP, and drove themselves nuts until 2015.

Imagine being one of the people who got stuck when it originally came out in Japan.

Oh come on, we had a bunch of Ys titles and other Falcom games come out in the interim.

I solved this problem by stalling out in the final dungeon of FC because it was long and boring, and then when SC was finally coming out I was like "huh i should finish FC maybe"

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
I’m only a few hours in FC, but with the steam sale I picked up SC and 3rd

And after trying the demo to Cold Steel 3, decided to pick up the Cold Steel titles too, so seems like my PC is going to be getting a lot of Falcom rpg love this year

I ended up getting Ys Seven and Celceta, along with one of the zwei games I forget the title. Now I own all ys on steam. I just need time to play all ys.

yeah we knew it was coming for a long time and now it's here.

i'm curious about how it performs. Ys 8 on switch is not promising but that wasn't the only issue with that game so this could be better.

I got Ys VI out of the sale even though I still have to beat Celceta, Origin and Felghana.

The latter is just because I remember having a hard time with it.

I just did the exact same thing. It took me three years to get past the prologue, and then I went and finished the rest of the game in a day or two. Strapping in for the long haul now, I guess.

Does anyone have a link on youtube for the end fight of TITS FC, where you're going for a minimal / low bp run?

Trying to show my friend what happens, which is that Cassius comes in and kicks seven shades of poo poo out of the boss for you, and tells everyone involved how disappointed he is in them

I saw a video of it ages ago and I can't find it.

Ys always has bitchin' soundtracks but 8 is still a cut above the rest, easily the best since Oath in Felghana.

Not a fan of the later Ys 8 bosses all being over pits you can fall into when fall damage is fairly significant also that moose boss was an rear end in a top hat

New Geofront Update. For those of you wondering why they decided to pick up Ao after initially saying they weren't going to spend time on a translation for a game most people would end up pirating: they managed to convince Joyoland to add Paypal Support to their store.

"The game sells for 45 Yuan which is about $6.50 or €5.60"
