Title: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Enl on November 01, 2010, 08:41:26 PM: Release: Tomorrow! :hyper
Price: Standard/PSN - $29.99
Premium - $39.99

After years of only being available on PC in Japan, Ys:OiF is finally getting an overseas release! It's my personal favorite entry of the series and has my favorite Ys soundtrack as well. While the character customization is not as deep as Ys 7, its combat has a more fast paced arcadiness to it and requires a good amount of hand and eye coordination. Hopefully the port of this turns out ok.

Game is a lot of fun with one of the best soundtracks in gaming history.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: cool breeze on November 02, 2010, 10:45:26 AM: if you ordered it at Amazon, they dropped the price of the LE down to $29.82, a whopping 83 cent increase from the regular version. it should apply automatically if you already had it ordered. only problem seems to be the ship date is late november instead of today. but I just ordered that version, so maybe the people who already had it got it at the regular time.

Post by: Enl on November 02, 2010, 09:26:28 PM: Just began playing around with this a bit. Here's some quick impressions:

- 5 difficulties unlocked from start (ulike the PC where you had to beat the game to unlock them)
- Lots of options including one to turn off voices and change between 3 music styles
- Oh god the voices! Off you go.
- Holding 'O' speeds through the cutscenes
- Game loads super quick (UMD) in fact I haven't noticed any game loading so far
- Blood and gibs are still there
- Game looks decent on PSP though sprites are a little on the soft side

Post by: Bebpo on November 03, 2010, 03:59:50 PM: 7 is great if you skip all the story and sidequests and speed run it as an action game ala, Oath. I finished it in 14 hours (vs. most people's 25-30) and it was non-stop intense action. So good :)
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 03, 2010, 06:04:55 PM: About an hour into the game. It's pretty great! Not a whole lot of BS to get through to start hacking and slashing.

personaly from the little i played,i just couldn't like the normal dungeon,they were just dull and fight with normal grunts seems to be a matter of mashing attack like crazy

i don't know,i wanted something like alundra and ys 7 felt like i was playing lame-o diablo
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Enl on November 03, 2010, 07:40:23 PM: First dungeon is the most mashy. Past that things start to get more varied especialy later on when they start to incorporate more platforming bits.

No, you're right. The main difference between Ys Oath/Origin (And maybe 6) vs. Ys Seven is that the enemies are a threat in earlier Ys, but in Ys Seven they are just grunts there to give you loot. So earlier Ys games are thrilling "make it to the next checkpoint" affairs and Ys Seven is more like "lemme explore this dungeon and get my loot on". But then the boss fights in Ys Seven were awesome and challenging so it didn't bother me that much. But I agree the earlier Ys with threatening enemies is better.

I don't need this stupid special edition bullshit. That crap takes up too much shelf space for crap I don't care about nor need. It was the only copy they had.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: magus on November 05, 2010, 08:19:07 PM: mmm this definitely feel closer to ys 6,you jump to dodge stuff,there is no awfull party to switch around and you even shot fireball out of your ass

the controls feel a little stiff... there were times where i pressed O and adolf decided to not jump and getting hit anyway :-\ maybe it's just my psp showing it's age...

i'm not convinced but i'm definitely going to give this a bigger chance than the one i gave at 7

I really enjoyed it but if you were to choose between Ys 7 and Felghana go with Felghana. Ys 7 felt like a Diablo-fied Ys game where as Felghana is more Zelda-like.

I really liked it. Good looking and tons of fun. A++ soundtrack too. I didn't even think the story was bad, it was just simple and 16-bit nostalgic. The game is not as good as Oath but it's still a better arpg than 90% of them. It just happens that Oath is basically the best arpg there is, so it's tough to compare.

Post by: magus on November 06, 2010, 11:29:24 AM: after you finish the 2nd dungeon you get an item that makes you run faster and another one that let you warp between save point's as you want... they should have give you these a lot sooner

anyway this is a lot cooler than 7,you explore a dungeon and you find a new sword and that new sword kicks ass! compare that to 7 where you open a chest and there are 10 bones that maybe you will be able to turn into a slightly better sword after you get 5 other iron ore from digging around :yuck

personaly i have heard a lot of people saying how awesome y's music but i don't really like it that much

Ys art always sucks. They need to get it on par with the quality of the music and gameplay one of these days. Needs a P3 style makeover visually.

The demon lady at the end of the first dungeon. You have to charge magic (hold square) and jump over her wave attacks at the same time (circle).

And yeah the music is awesome. Taking a break for now though because there's nothing that cramps my hands faster than a PSP.

Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Bebpo on November 06, 2010, 04:21:28 PM: I don't remember there being control issues but then I played it on a PS2 controller and I just played Ys Origin (should be same controls) on X360 controller.

The controls for Origin on a X360 control were:
A - slash
Y - magic, hold for charge
B - jump
X - burst mode (not in Oath)
L/R - cycle magic

So you could hold Y while jumping or slash with A while jumping.

Can you make the PSP controls like that?
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: magus on November 06, 2010, 04:32:26 PM: yes you can but the default configuration is

X - Attack
O - Jump
/\ - Burst
[] - Magic

so if you want to jump and cast magic at the same time,you have to press both O and [] which is awkward

Mashing square does 2 damage per fireball on a boss that has 600 hp. And you get like 10 fireballs before you have to wait for it to recharge. So it is possible to beat her that way, but you can't charge your magic and it will take forever.

Fighting the boss like this with the default controls is basically impossible:

It's not even a big deal, it's just... I don't see how they could have playtested the game for more than 10 minutes without noticing this flaw.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Himu on November 06, 2010, 05:08:51 PM: The secret to that boss battle is going into hyper mode or whatever. Think of them as "turns". Each Hyper Mode fireball onslaught takes out about 80 hp at the right level.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Himu on November 06, 2010, 05:10:23 PM: Also, I'm surprised that, since you're an action gamer, you haven't learned the trick of dual button presses.

Tip of thumb on square, fat part of thumb on circle.

Easy.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: iconoclast on November 06, 2010, 05:22:16 PM: Yeah, or you could lay the system flat on your lap and use your index and middle finger to hit the buttons, but it's still extremely clumsy. It's just bad button mapping.

Sometimes having to play stuff unconventionally is fine if there's simply no better way to go about it, like having to use a claw hand with Monster Hunter. Fixing the problem with Ys just involves swapping two buttons.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Himu on November 06, 2010, 05:25:41 PM: how the fuck do you use the charge attack on that boss anyways

does this game have new game plus or something? I just fucking got that move and I'm on the second (er..third?) dungeon.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: iconoclast on November 06, 2010, 05:31:55 PM: Right before the boss there's a path you can climb that has a translucent chest at the end. You have to light the torch on the wall for it to appear, inside it is the ruby that lets you charge.

Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Himu on November 06, 2010, 08:58:40 PM: Okay, I wasn't having trouble with jump being mapped to circle until this dragon boss. I also kinda dislike how you can't use healing items. Wittling a boss to like 100 hp and dying because of some bullshit is aggravating.

Post by: magus on November 07, 2010, 02:28:41 PM: you know maybe i just sucks at the game but the fact that bosses don't flinch when you hit them really annoys me to no end,80% of the time i get hit is because i'm busy hacking at the boss and since the boss NEVER EVER stops from attacking you really have no choice other than taking damage
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: iconoclast on November 07, 2010, 02:36:45 PM: Nah, they all have patterns and attacks that leave them open once they miss. You just need to pick your shots. I'd say the bosses have been pretty great so far. Just got done with the first one in the abandoned mine.

Been playing this as I watch the SoCal Regionals. I started skipping all of the story sequences because it's just generic fantasy pap that couldn't be any less interesting. Just send me to the next dungeon plz.

Don't attack him when he puts up his barrier, wait until after he uses his lance dash attack and attack him quickly after. If he runs at you for a slash attack, wait until he finishes his combo and hit him twice before he starts up another combo.

Here's somebody doing this on Inferno difficulty with a low level character:

you know one thing i realized is how the extra air time you can get from the wind spell is reaaaaaaallllllyyyyyy usefull

EDIT: i finished the game,funny enough i got killed at least once in every boss fight but the last one went down on my first try :lol

mmm... what can i say,i wouldn't call it the greatest ARPG ever but it was OK,the boss fight are nice but the dungeons are still a little dull and the monsters could surely get an improvement... fighting pixelated crabs and insects is no fun

Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: cool breeze on March 06, 2011, 08:51:38 PM: Finally getting around to playing this. Two things:

This is considerably more difficult than Ys 7. That was "slash-roll-counter-slashslashlsahpowerslash" this is still a lot of slashing, with jumping and meaningful magic, and then more pattern/puzzle based bosses. Even when I figure out the pattern, I'm still getting rumped by them. I'm at a bird thing that shoots fire and die in like two seconds and have no idea why.

Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: cool breeze on March 08, 2011, 04:18:19 PM: This game is so good. I liked it more than Ys 7 and I already liked that a lot. I wish I played it on the PC, tbh, but whatever, maybe Falcom will eventually put these games on steam or something. I want to play Origins and Ys 6 now if they're more of the same.
Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: Bebpo on March 08, 2011, 04:27:12 PM: Yeah, Oath is the best.

Ys Origins is Oath as a pure dungeon crawler. It's based off the Oath battle system. You're in a tower and you climb it and fight stuff. There are bosses, platforming, puzzles, upgrades and it's really fast. The downside is there is an unskippable hour intro of talk/talk/talk at the start. Then only occasional short cutscenes throughout. I'd recommend it for sure.

I haven't played 6, but I heard it's like Oath/Origins but a lot shittier because it came out before them and the battle system isn't as good.

Title: Re: Ys: Oath in Felghana PSP
Post by: cool breeze on March 08, 2011, 04:35:38 PM: I'm fine with Origins being a pure dungeon crawler. Honestly I couldn't tell the difference between the story of Oath and 7. Blah blah magic ultimate evil whatever SLASH SLASHSLASH. I still like going around in town and all that, and Oath had pretty incredible pacing (Ys 7 sometimes felt like you were just slogging through enemies over and over; Oath is a lot more balanced with better standard enemies and frequent bosses, as well as basic platforming and puzzles).

I don't even know how you'd even buy Origins or the PC versions of these games. I really wish more Japanese PC game makers would jump on any of the DD services.

I need to read more about Ys 1&2 PSP before I buy it. The combat sounds...unique with the shoulder checking or whatever.

If you actually want to pay real money and buy it, you can order straight from Falcom in english. They're really cool about overseas orders.

ys origins has a fantranslation but last time i checked it worked only for 1,2 wasn't fully translated

It's not like the story matters...at all. I just played Origins like 3 months ago and I couldn't tell you anything about the plot if you asked. All the Ys plots are forgettable.

And here's their instructions for international orders: http://www.falcom.co.jp/mailorder/attention/howto.html

Post by: cool breeze on March 08, 2011, 04:56:10 PM: cool, thanks. I might find a copy of Ys 6 PSP first. From what I heard, it is a bad port, but the worst aspects of it like the long loading aren't an issue if you run it of the memory stick.

So far the Ys series has been kicking as. Ys Oath is one of the best action rpgs I have played.

YS Origins for PC is free for a brief time. Info is in that thread but the deal was supposedly only for April 28th, but it still works. Tried it out and it works. All in unskippable Japanese, though. No fan translation either.

Just have a pet keep tapping the next button for an hour.
