Time for an exciting JRPG – Ys X: Nordics is coming soon on GOG!

The narrative unfolds amidst the northern expanse of Obelia Bay, a picturesque region adorned with myriad islands, both large and small. Ys X: Nordics introduces an exciting tale set within this enchanting locale, centered around the daring exploits of the youthful adventurer, Adol Christin.

Wishlist it now!
Nice to have another one of NISA games here!

Keep them coming!

Nordics? they missed the opportunity to set the game on an island calld YSland :D
Obvious wishlist is obvious for me.

I just hope Falcom will finally do something about Kefin eventually.

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

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.
