Ys Seven

[Eusis]

How do psp games look when blown up on an HD tv?  terrible? OK? Still playable?

They don't look great, no, but it's more than playable especially since it's not being run at a lower resolution anyway, just a low one blown up some. And you get cables for it, so you'd have to make sure to get a 2000 or 3000 and component cables to connect it to the TV, otherwise you can't play it.

For some reason I thought you had to do it through the PS3. You can just run component cables right from the psp to the tv? nice. That makes it easier.
Staring at a handheld for anything longer than 15 minutes or so hurts my neck. I prefer to be comfortable while gaming.

I finally picked this up.

I'm hoping there's an animated cut scene with the bathing chicks depicted on the inside of the game case.

This is the first JRPG I've bought in a year and I rather like it. It may be blasphemous, but I didn't like the gameplay of Books 1 and 2 and actually liked the action oriented Ys 3. This is more action oriented and though I haven't played much of it, it plays out so far like A Link To The Past on crack. The only complaint I have so far is holding the "R" button in and using one of the other buttons at the same time to perform a special attack  is a little clumsy because the buttons are so close together.

Also, I got the special edition and LOVE the map, even though it is lacking in color. The artbook kicks ass. Haven't listened to the soundtrack yet.

I'm slowly chugging through this and it rules in my book. I haven't played nearly as many RPGs as some of the regs here but this is just what I've been looking for. I picked up some DS Draqon Quest titles before Ys 7 and those are charming and all but not that fun in my mind. Sure there's nothing new about 7 in the grand scheme of things, but I dig the fast pace and the general interface. The menus have a nice look and aren't clumsy to use at all.

Worth the money.
