However the fan base is as pessimistic as ever and is convinced it'll never be good

I mean, they're going to feel that way until they get the game they want. Makes sense to me.

Personally I'm skipping this game because of the combat, but I will at least say from what I've seen they've made many improvements over Sticker Star and Color Splash.

A couple references, sure. But even then, the remakes of 1 & 2 (which are what everyone plays) add references to later games in the series anyway. You're going to miss references no matter what.

In either case, it's not like the references are a major part of the game. It was made to be played as its own thing.

I gotcha. This series is more of a mess than I initially thought. Still looking forward to getting started though.

AFAIK most people play origins without playing 1 and 2.

Well I have heard that 1 and 2 are supposedly difficult and a lot of people are put off by the way combat works, but wouldn't they miss a lot of references doing that?

The "definitive" version of Ys is a f***ing mess. Sometimes the remakes are preferred, other times the original TG16 games. Only SHINE knows for sure.

When I was looking around for that very thing, I came across this website.

http://www.digitalemelas.com/index_ys.php#wheretostart

It seems pretty good to me, but yea SHINE would obviously know better than me if this place is accurate or not.

Yahoo has articles like these a lot, basically just reacting to people on social media viewing something en masse. Not the first one I've seen where it's just a bunch of people discovering something that maybe possibly they could have or should have known. It's also a better tone for the article to take than to be condescending.

I mean yes it's better to do what they did than to be condescending, but really I think the best thing would be to not even make the article. People often just suddenly realize things that others have known for a while, so it's no big deal and obviously no reason to make fun of someone(I mean outside of being close friends with them or something), but it's also not news worthy.
