CO-OP MODE (Experimental) 2-Player local co-op mode has been added
About coop mode:
Need to supply two Xinput controllers
You must have 2 or more characters in the party in order for the second player to join the game.
SP is shared
Second player does not receive the “AI cheats” (ie. AI controlled characters only take half damage, whereas second player in co-op mode will take the full amount of damage.)
Not officially supported and limited support will be available for troubleshooting
To enable co-op mode:
Open Steam libraries through the Steam client
Right-click on Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA, and click “Properties”
Click “Set Launch Options”
Input “--coop” into the parameter and click “OK.”
Launch the game
Press “Start” on the second controller to enable second player
