lots of trash in these rankings huh

At least there's some fun stuff. Go Dana and all the Ys 8 appearances and CS1 correctly being ranked as the best Cold Steel game.

for me it's probably

Favorite game
Ys - Ys IV: Dawn of Ys
Trails - Ao no Kiseki

Favorite Song
Ys - Ys II Opening
Trails - I'll remember you (Cold Steel II ED)

Favorite Character
Ys - Adol
Trails - Lloyd Bannings

so from my perspective they almost nailed best song and character

Adol will forever be my #1

I am surprised the Cold Steel 1 ED didn't make the list though I always thought that was one of the best ones too

Rean x Crow is the most popular yaoi Trails ship among fujoshi by a lot.

Ys VIII everything .

Playing both VIII and IX right now, and the level if polish and content in VIII is just plain stupid.

They hit a crazy concept of "stranded island meets time travel mythological weirdness" and it was just magical

Estelle, Renne, and Rixia too low, but I guess I should be happy they made the list at all.

in that case my first falcom game

Ys: Ys 1 (Turbografix)
Trails: I think I actually played Cold Steel 1 first, then stopped and went back and started from the beginning once I realized there were 5 games before it.

Although I played Faxanadu on NES before any of those, but that technically isn't Falcom developed.

Maybe Lost would've ended better if Jacob was an ancient magical swordswoman instead.

Never watched Lost, but if Ys used Lost as a template and made it work, cool with me.

Yep. Masterpiece.

I'm playing IX now (about 10 hours in) and am absolutely loving it to death.
