Famitsu issue isn't out yet but here's what Japanese insiders are saying

Adol looks like a young boy, around the age of Ys I & II.

A woman who looks to be the main heroine is shown. Uses a one-handed ax. Their arms are connected by an aura-shaped string/cord.

1 versus 1 combat is a focus, with huge changes to the party member switching mechanic and weapon attributes. Personally, this seems akin to Ys VI, though isnt entirely certain yet.

Souls-like inspirations are stated, but not overt.

Kondo: I cant say which platforms that it will be on, but we wanted a wide range of users to enjoy the game, and lowering Adols age may be a part of that goal. We are working on various of platforms for its release.

Our teams Ryuji translated the following points:

Falcom wants to make older Ys titles playable on current hardware.

Mentions an emphasis on providing new gameplay, as well as new scenarios, actions, and systems.

Ys tends to change its gameplay every few games. Bump mechanic, straightforward hack/slash, then the ABC weakness system. I have no fucking idea what they'd mean by "Soulslike inspiration" but whatever. Ys was doing "you better fucking dodge or we'll murder your health bar" anyway. I wouldn't be shocked if they mentioned it because nearly every game won't shut the fuck up about being "Soulslike" in some way.

Given the amount of times he's shipwrecked, who's to say? His adventure boils down to three absolute truths.

  1. He gets shipwrecked/walks dumbfounded into the city/otherwise just shows up for the lols
  2. He EXPLAINS THE SITUATION
  3. He finds the nearest blue haired girl (90% of the time) and solves their problem.


Nothing else makes Ys Ys other than those three things.

I just could not get into Ys VIII after a solid 15 hours because I thought the combat was just so incredibly boring. I never even looked at Ys IX as a result.

Maybe I'll give this a shot!

if they really want to make older Ys games avialable on current platforms please don't do it one at a time just do like a collection of 1-6 or something. Origin is already on PS4 so that's available and Seven got an HD port on Steam not too long ago, but they should put that on consoles too.

and I know Celceta is their official 4, but I would demand Dawn of Ys in a collection of 1-6

Falcom hates Dawn of Ys because it was made by another developer, right?

I don't think they hate it, just that in their eyes it's non-canon, just like Mask of the Sun

It did give us Theme of Adol 1993 though
