Sunday is Gaming Day: Holiday Edition What Are You Playing Thread
I totally forgot to post this last week and didn't remember until middle of the week. Anyway I've been playing the Binding of Isaac but I am at my parents house for the holidays so I've not been Gaming the past couple days. Happy Holidays everyone 🫡
You're viewing a single thread.
currently started playing Ys: Memories of Celceta, now that I beat Ys X: Nordics. it's the next Ys game chronologically.
asides from Ys 2, you can play any of the Ys games in however order you like, but I decided to follow a chronological order... mostly. after I beat Felghana (next chronological game after Celceta), I'm going to play in my own order: SEVEN, VI: Naphistim, V: Kefin. Then I'll move onto the more darker/emotionally charged Ys games like VIII: Lacrimosa and IX: Monstrum.
anyway, Celceta's nice, just as Nordics was nice. might play another game alongside Celceta, who knows. i might start one of the Atelier games i got lying around, or continue playing this typing adventure game called Nanotale at least until I can find a save point. fucking hell, games should come with fromsoftware's "the game will resume where you left off" philosophy, or let you save pretty much whenever you want like the Ys games do.
Ys X and Celceta are great, but Seven is definitely going to feel rough after those, and VI after Felghana too. V is just bad.
it's fine, i think i'll be able to handle them.
did you play the games? /genq, nm
I've played every Ys game in some form and also finished most of them. VI I couldn't finish because the dash jump maneuver was so annoying and mandatory to play the game, thankfully Felghana has a regular double jump. V is infamously a piss easy game, so it wouldn't have been too much effort to finish it, I just found the art style terrible and the combat too boring to continue. I got annoyed at some boss fight in the PC Engine IV: Dawn of Ys and stopped playing, but Celceta is now the canonical IV anyway. Still working on X, but I'm loving it so far.
VIII is by far my favorite in the series, probably followed by Celceta or X, Origin and I&II. I think most entries are at least worth playing.
