Nice to have another one of NISA games here!

Keep them coming!

I hope who that Ys dont gonna be expensive in BRL like as the latest titles since Ys VIII u.u

Nordics? they missed the opportunity to set the game on an island calld YSland :D

Funny: In Finnish, a Nordic country, Karja means 'cattle'. Now you know.

Funny indeed, since the devs more than like, knew this when naming her. Would be Udderly amazed if they didnt lol

You'd be surprised how often Japanese ppl adopt names or words from other languages just because they sound cool to them. ;)

*cries in Frieren character names*

Also, wishlisted, obviously, as I need more Ys in my life.

You bet it will.

Al NISA games are more expensive here than in other places.

I already bought this, but my wallet just doesn't know it yet!

Looking forward to it. :)

Didn't expect it to show up shortly after the new Trails game this summer since this Ys entry is two-and-a-half years newer. There really must be a lot less to translate. Well, I ain't complaining.

The second main character Adol first met in V, right? And who we (who only played the officially translated versions) met briefly in one of the other games (I guess I won't say which one to avoid what some might consider a slight spoiler)?

Looks like some Haven-style floating through the air and Cyber Hook style swinging. Could be fun :). Hopefully the story will be better this time than IX.

What's the best Ys game to try for someone who never played one to know what the franchise is like?

It depends. Early Ys (1-6, even though 1&2 are its own beasts with their weird bumper combat) games play quite a bit differently than the newer ones (7 and later). The early games can feel a bit too grindy for my tastes. *shrug*

Personally, my favorite is Lacrimosa of DANA even with some of those weird translation issues still present; some of the nations/peoples names hadn't been properly fixed when they redid the translation again, but that's a very minor issue, all things considered. Unlike the much more drab (but still fun) Monstrum Nox the former features some lush environments and beating up dinos is fun. ;) Also quite liked the past/future timeline differences.

Also, story-wise pretty much all games are self-contained adventures, only featuring minor references to others in parts, so not having played them all is totally a-okay. In fact, timeline wise they tend to be all over the place, so that should be nothing to worry about.
