Looks like the average player is still griping over this not being Vita compatible as opposed to talking about the game itself.

Yeesh, didn't anyone save their PSPs?

They may have a Vita and prefer to play on that, or the lack of Vita support is making them wait on 3DS. I'm waiting to see what happens, having the map on the bottom screen IS a very compelling feature.

They sent out trailers for Ys Origin and 1&2 on Steam yesterday.

Where did you hear this? That's the first I've heard of Ys 1&2 being released on Steam.

My bad, I meant Origin.

[Ramza]

you already said Origin. I think you mean Origin + Felghana...?

[Dice]

Anyone playing??? is it worth the download??

I'd be lying if I said the main dude's mullet wasn't turning me off slightly.

[cj_iwakura]

you already said Origin. I think you mean Origin + Felghana...?

Er, yeah.

And the only impressions I've read have been at NeoGAF and GameFAQs, which have been glowing.

Sony's PSN policy says you can only have your account hooked up to 2 portable systems. Since my daughter has a PSP that means when I got a Vita, I had to deactivate my own PSP to use the Vita.

And even if I could buy the game and play it on my PSP, I'd rather wait for it to gain Vita compatibility. Better screen, nicer controls, and quicker load times? Yes!

just got it gonna try it for a few hours before i go to sleep

im liking the game so far. Fang might be my favorite male game character since jade curtis. hes so arrogant and cocky its awesome. the medusa with big boobs so you dont look at her face. just LOL! i like the sphere grid knockoff but after gaining a few lvls in an area exp declines...SHARPLY. hector is supposed to be a tank but for me he blows hard but i guess thats in character for him.

The enemies never seem to hit Hector for me...

Where do you have Hector positioned? I know he defaults to 2. Does it help to move him to 1?

Also, somewhere on his skill tree (or whatever that sphere-grid-ish map is called) he has a "Taunt" ability.

[Starmongoose]

Well, I moved him to slot 1 after I got the big-breasted snake girl and she informed me of the benefits. If it HAS made a difference, it's a subtle one.

I just reached the 4th Titan, Aguila.

This game is kicking my ass left and right. Very much in the vein of Etrian Odyssey in that way.

And yes, I'm enjoying it. :P

im currently in chapter 2 with the all girl party. its getting annoying how this game keeps throwing roadblocks in my path that force you to grind. the worst of being F'ing judgement battles. id of been on chapter 3 4 days ago if not for those.

[TiamatNM]

Alisha yea the judgement battles are the only big complaint I have.  Some of them are just way too hard to get past and may require hours of follower grinding. 



I'm on chapter 6 now.  The game is really good and much better than I expected it to be.  I really really want it to sell well enough that they bring out the sequel, this is a quality game.  Likeable characters, great voice dubbing, good music, lots of customization, tons of content, etc

[Ramza]

Beat the game 2 days ago. Yeah, judgment battles *early in the game* are annoying because it forces you to pick up a bunch of followers that you don't necessarily want or need, plus you gotta get mood+ which is a real pain early on (before you can memorize all the "right" answers).

But after chapter 4, the game is fun and awesome.
