New trailer to show off the new actions. We didn't really learn anything new, but new footage is always welcome. Highlight attacks look insanely cool and the mana ride looks super fun to play with.

My memories are fuzzy since it's now been a few years since I played Ys I, but the doctor guy being described as from that adventure really cements its place in the timeline now...
Still cannot get over how much Falcom's animation work has improved. Those animations, especially during the fight scenes, are incredibly fluid and clean. Combat and exploration look like a ton of fun. I still haven't seen enough naval gameplay to be sold on that part, though...

We got some footage at last! I gotta say, I'm impressed so far. The new engine is definitely an improvement for character animations. The new combat system is gonna take some...

Some supporting characters introduced. The bro Dogi looks good. It's kinda weird seeing him look so young for the first time in a while. I don't have a lot of thoughts on the new characters yet.
Mana...
Forgot to post this too but we also got a rundown of the new combat system in a little more detail.

I'm gonna miss the party system but this seems promising and fun.
Bumping the thread cuz we got a few more things.
New trailer for Felghana remaster.
New key art for Nordics confirming Dogi will be present.
Artwork revealed for Adol and the new heroine and playable partner, named Carja Balta.
The new engine in this game is so pretty. :eyes:

Some more info dropped. Timeline confirmation that it takes place between II and Celceta, making it Adol's third chronological adventure (debatably it's his second since I view 1 and 2 as the same adventure but I...

I missed this article this morning. The Felghana coming to switch is a confirmed remaster after all. Figured. I like what I'm reading here. I hope they can get this one out to the west by the end of next year...
According to the article, it takes place after I and II. Possibly between them and Celceta? He should be 17 or 18 here then.
The developers said in an interview a while back that this would be a story they can only tell with a younger Adol. Now we know why. :right:
This thread's for the 2 other Ys folks on this website. :right: We got our Ys X namedrop at last! We also got some screenshots and a look at how the gameplay will feel like. We also learned that Felghana will be coming to the Switch titled as "Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana" which tells me...
