Ys Seven
« on: August 11, 2011, 05:14:06 pm »
If you're a fan of the Ys series, or just a fan of kick-ass action RPGs, you would love Ys Seven.

The game basically takes the intensity of the original Ys games, turns it into a hack and slash combat system, adds techs and a dash/dodge button, then kicks the intensity up a notch and sets the scene with an amazing soundtrack. And then there's the Flash Guard ability, which blocks damage for a split second and turns it into SP to fuel your techs. The battle system flows perfectly, I've never once felt like something about it was out of place or badly implemented.

First boss, gives a little sample of the combat system.
Boss fight showing off other party members and a few skills, not to mention Aisha's Extra Skill.


One of my favorite boss battles in the game (Minor Spoilers)

Ys Seven is without a doubt, the greatest PSP RPG I've ever played, and my favorite Ys game. I just finished it last night, and I'm planning replaying it on Nightmare difficulty.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Unfortunately, Ys Seven is a PSP exclusive game.

I really should check out the old ones someday. I don't own a PSP though, so I won't be able to try out this newer one.

I would play it, but it's so incredibly rare and hard to find.

NOTE: I'm a huge Ys fan. I got Ys Book I and II for both the Turbografx-16 on the Wii Virtual Console and the PSP, Ys III on the SNES and PSP, Ys IV on the PS2 (didn't play that one much, tho) and I also played Ys III/IV on TGFX emulators before, along with the SNES version of Ys IV.
