Ys X: Nordics Carves Out an October Release Date on PS5, PS4

Oof launching around so many other JRPGs is not a good idea. Going to suffer on PS and PC with most JRPG people going for Metaphor or DQ.
On Switch I don't see this doing as well with DQ coming out around same time.

The games are cheaper though so maybe they don't need to sell as many units.

One month after Kai no Kiseki releases in Japan and 4 months after we got Trails through daybreak Falcom is busy this year.

I remember playing Wanderers from Ys on the SNES. It was very different than the RPGs I was accustomed to. When I played Oath of Felghana on the PSP decades later I had no idea it was a remake. I'm amazed at how this series is still kicking around. This one looks like it actually has some interesting mechanics--I may give it a go.

So many JRPGS so little time. Be carrying into 2025 for me

Day 1 for sure!

I won't be playing it anywhere near release, but given how a lot of these JRPGs seem to go out of print within several months after release, I will likely buy it fairly quickly to make sure I have a copy whenever I end up playing it.

I played the demo and it feels...okay i guess? and Ys IX also kinda okay'ish although it feels a lot less solid compare to Ys VII or VIII.

So, this one is not a day one for me.

of all the games mentioned in this article, ys is the day one for me.

Oh wow... the backcatalog will continue to grow. I still got 8 and 9 to go through.

SAO Fractured Daydream, new Fantasy Life, Metaphor Re Fantazio and now Ys X in the same month 😭

Well I've already played DQ3 several times and Metaphor: ReFantazio being on a time limit is massively off-putting, so of the JRPGs mentioned above, this is by far the one I'm most looking forward to.

The preorders have gone live on NISA store

Limited Editions available as well

@PuppetMaster I know what you mean. YS VIII genuinely felt so damn responsive and fast paced, while YS IX was a bit of a downgrade. Seems like YS X is continued with this slow speed.

Very noice. I got the limited edition last year in Japan (for cheaper cause NISA UK postage costs to Australia suck lmao). Then I'll just pick up a digital copy using my PS points (I got enough for the $30 voucher)

@GilgaMax96 Yeah that's it. It looks like they traded speed and control with bigger world, which i'm not sure why Falcom did it when the selling point of Ys is fast pace combat with tight control. If it's LoH then sure they can make bigger world since the combat is turn based.

Ys is the best long-running JRPG franchise that no one ever mentions in discussions about best long-running JRPG franchises.

Ys games are always fun.ys so its all good.word up son

I'm so ready for this. Like many others, I only got into the series with Ys VIII, but it's quickly become one of my favourite JRPG franchises.

Played Origin, Celceta, VIII and IX so far and they're all good to great. Can't wait for this one, and then Oath in Felghana early next year. I just hope Nihon Falcom gets the success in the West that they deserve.

Between Dragon’s Dogm II, Dragon Age, and Ys. How am I supposed to decide what to play? Not to mention a new Mana is also coming. As an RPG I’m overwhelmed! I’m still finishing Horizon: Forbidden West, God Of War, and Jedi: Survivor. What a time!
