Ys 9: Monstrum Nox announced during Falcom's shareholder meeting (breaking)
- Thread starter Pasokon Deacon
- Start date
Ah yeah, finally freed from the shackles of a handheld platform limitation should work wonders. Hopefully they'll keep some semblance of DirectX build target in there for the eventual PC release (and make a deal with a competent developer this time around)
Yes. Falcom is only themselves developing Ys IX for the PS4.
Pretty sure he actually only deflects the rapier and she lets go of the towel herself.
For some crazy reason i got this idea thst they looked at witcher 3, nioh and sekiro and got inspirstion on making a solo adol game
Dont ask my why i think this, its just silly idea in my head.
I see, then I hope it gets some Pro support, I need an excuse to get one :p

What's so bad about VIII's art direction? Besides, it's going to be fairly similar, whether or not there's an ancient civilization like Dana's. Falcom iterates more visibly than other developers, relying on reused assets a lot to make games in new premises.
Worst case, you'll have 4k and 60 FPS now that Falcom's not having to port upward. I just hope they won't go ham with effects to the point that it causes performance hiccups.
No he doesn't. She attacks him with her sword so he slashes her sword away. She let's go of her towel in shock that her sword gets knocked away.
Or dropping in on characters like Laxia while she's bathing :/ Just sad to see Falcom slowly slide down that precipice.
Cold Steel 3 and 4 still look really rough, so I wouldn't get my hopes up >.< Not that it's the biggest deal for me when it comes to their games - I just want them to continue feeling absurdly fast and responsive.
Yeah, from the TX PS4 port onward all has had Pro support, iirc.
Ys VIII already has Pro support, so do the PS4 Cold Steel games and Tokyo Xanadu.
This is the most important question of all. The last great Adol design was Ys 7. I always prefer Adol to wear armor instead of some fancy Nomura belts and zippers style clothing.
Sweet! Didnt know, I'll get now for sure, then :D
When you walk in on someone bathing and they try to attack you, do you fight back or just leave? (Why walk in on someone bathing to begin with?)
Yeah was hoping for it too but they did say the next one will be a successor title/sequel.
Hopefully Ys V remake will be next.

There's always Silver Armor DLC. FWIW I think his VIII attire looks good, not like it's drowning in peak Nomura-isms. Please nothing like the Celceta promo outfit again, though.
She was bathing in an open river, on what was thought to be a deserted island. Her first reaction was rapier stab, his was parry.
For one, that has nothing to do with the claim he slashed her towel away for a rapey scene. Two she was bathing in the middle of a river stream since it was an abandoned island and they were just ship wrecked and everyone separated. It's still a weird Japanese scene, but Adol isn't just invading a shower room to creep on a girl.
I'm currently playing through VIII and it's so fucking good. Glad the PC port got mostly sorted out over time.
She was bathing in like a stream behind a giant bolder and he deflects a rapier more by instinct because he's Adol fucking Christin
Edit: I just rewatched that scene and Adol immediately turns away when the towel falls. Falcom may be on that creep shit, but I won't hear this mess about Adol
Definitely. I don't think Falcom will never let go their tightly designed Ys combat response (I hope pulling off Flash Guard will still feel as satisfying as ever) just to chase high fidelity graphics. But it definitely will help when shilling the series to prospective fans. :-)
Ive been wanting to play YS 8 but psn region 3 seems not selling the english version. It only says chinese version. Can anyone on psn region 3 confirm this?
Yeah, they're not that bad, but I still think the newer designs are tad too flamboryant/over-designed. His default design in VIII looks like he's more ready to go on a fashion show instead of buckling up for a hands on, rough adventure.
Edit: Yes I know at the start of VIII, Adol was on a cruise which can explain his fancy attire, but hey.
Now to patiently wait dor it to go for cheap :v
It is 45ish bucks over at humble store but i already have a bunxh of games.to play atm that i cant play it atm.
Lol, so silly. So you just take it and get stabbed in the chest with a rapier? Nice guy duckroll. I'd be pretty mad myself if I got attacked with a rapier just because I came across someone bathing by accident, with no time to leave or explain myself.
It's a stupid scene sure, an anime trope. But in the scene, it's not like Adol is a predator. He comes across the scene, and then there is no time to de-esclate.
Don't think you can get the armor anymore? I bought the game with the NISA pack, and I'm playing through it right now and the only DLC outfit I got was for Laxia.

The other great news is that Sen no Kiseki will be seeing English PS4 releases in 2019. Hopefully this means III, too.

Notice, everyone, how we've only seen one character per screenshot, each of them looking like playable characters. Neither are Adol. This could be a return to the solo style a la Origin where you have different sections for different characters. Even crazier, we might not even have Adol to play this time, at least not initially. I highly doubt that will happen, but Falcom takes big risks every now and then. (Bear in mind, though, that Falcom intentionally releases misleading screenshots and press items to fool with fans who overanalyze things.)
It's looking nice so far, though not a noticeable upgrade over VIII's presentation.

Finale games like Ys Origin or VIII generally have a lot of extra stuff that's hit or miss, whereas games like VI, Seven, and now this keep it all slim because Falcom likes to try new things.

Will be here day one
I have triple dipped on Ys 8 (soon to be a quad dip with the Switch version), will do the same with anything Ys really (it's prety obvious either NISA or Xseed are going to pick it up and bring it to PC and maybe Switch)
I just hope I'll be able to get a NISA CE in Canada next time :(

Holding out hope for solo Adol adventure and give him more cool looking armor and less casual hoodie stuff.
Oh man, now I'm getting kinda hype for this. I'd be so down. God, I love Origin so much.
Time between announcement trailer and release is just 2 years seem pretty alright, especially considering the work cycle in this industry nowadays plus unexpected incidents like delay.

An astute observation
Designs look a bit overdone but very interesting for sure. It's baffling how little this feels like modern Ys, so I wonder if Falcom's using this title to trojan-horse some experimental ideas/themes. In short, this reminds me more of a later Brandish game than Ys so far, which is amazing.
