Ys VI was released today, and I was lucky enough to be living in
Japan on the release date. I rushed out to the nearest computer store
and picked mine up today. I didn't reserve it, but I thought I had
might as well try anyway, and sure enough there were plenty of copies
available at the store I went to. I saw plenty of other people buying
theirs too. (Mostly guys in their 20's. The kids nowadays have no
idea what Ys is.)
I must say I am quite impressed with the game so far. I didn't like
Ys V that much (it was a good game, but it just wasn't Ys in my
opinion), so I wasn't expecting too much from Ys VI. Luckily, I was
wrong. I haven't played a game that grabbed my attention this much
from the start in a LONG time. I only have my weak laptop with me
here in Japan, so I have to play it with the resolution way down, and
a bunch of the cool texture mapping and lighting effects turned off,
but it hasn't affected my enjoyment of the game at all so far.
The music is quite good, though some of it doesn't quite have
that "Ys sound" that we've come to love. Conversely, other tracks
sound like they're trying too hard to sound like "Ys" and end up
sounding a bit forced to me. Great music though, overall.
Ys fans, get your hands on this game as soon as you can!
