unlabelledView post →Finally finished all three campaigns of Ys Origin tonight. Lovely little game that someone makes each campaign feel different and worthwhile thanks to the different character abilities and their stories. It'll be a while until I try Ys 3 but this is becoming such a comfort series for me.

unlabelledView post →I was so, so sure that Ys Origin was the last "real" Ys and the game that came immediately after it was "too changed" and "unfaithful". I was wrong. kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2022/07/15/t...
unlabelledView post →I think this works! Some aren't my favs in their series(my top 5 CVs are SotN, DoS, 4, 3 and Rondo, but the first game certainly impacted me). VS is my fav of all time. Ys Origin might be my fav Ys, but Book 1/2 on PCE FLOORED me in terms of music/presentation. Zaxxon was my 1st home computer game
unlabelledView post →starting a replay of Ys Origin on Nightmare (well I guess it's not *entirely* a replay because it's my first time doing the Toal story) and man. Man. this game is just the heat. fuckin' fantastic and snappy action RPG.
unlabelledView post →man Ys Origin is a fuckin' ripper and a half. what a game.

unlabelledView post →i think im gonna bite the bullet and restart Ys Origin on normal difficulty.. i've been wanting to play thru that game for so long now but have been putting it off cuz i started it on hard mode, and hard mode in that game meANS HAAAARD 😭 i think i only beat like 3 bosses so it should be too bad..

unlabelledView post →Ys Origin: 10/10 This combat and boss design is sex and it has Toal Fact (literally me) so this game rocks 👍👍👍
unlabelledView post →Booted up Ys Origin on a whim and when I checked the playtime it was suddenly four hours later. 🤯 Surprised by the amount of verticality and focus on movement this has for such an "old" game. The environments are beautiful and the boss/combat designs have been fun so far!
unlabelledView post →92. Ys Origin Great game, and great prequel. Me having played 1 and 2 beforehand definitely enhanced the experience but this is still a fun game I'd also recommend as a starting point. Yunica, Hugo and Toal are all great.
unlabelledView post →Talking about games I'm playing again cuz why not My main game is Ys 3 Memoire and holy crap I am SO BAD at this game lmao every boss takes like 10+ retries for me and I'm only playing on Normal... I don't remember struggling this hard ofor Ys Origin but here I am getting obliterated 😅
unlabelledView post →Ys Origin: This game makes me feel like I'm working on a group project and I'm the only one doing the work. These Knights fucking suck.
unlabelledView post →I'm planning to create a 2.5D game similar to Ys Origin. I'm currently deciding which game engine to use. Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, or MonoGame for this kind of gamedev. Since I have a background in programming, particularly in C#, I'm leaning toward engines that support it well.

unlabelledView post →I went through LRG for Ys Origin, the only game I've ever bought from them, only to get it a year late and have the artbook ruined cause it was glued to the fucking box. They offered me 5 bucks for it. I think Sky might be the one CE gap in my collection. I don't trust those fuckers.

unlabelledView post →Yunica’s path for Ys Origin is beaten. That final boss for her was so much easier than the final one from The Oath in Felghana. Or maybe it was just more fair? Cause TOiF final boss was kinda bullshit at times. Lol The centipede and one that heals by starfish bosses can fuck right off though. 🎮

unlabelledView post →Game: Ys Origin A prequel to the Ys series and extremely delightful. With 3 characters with distinct stories and gameplay styles you can get a lot of time out of this game, or only a little. Falcom's music is as good as ever and I enjoy the characters a lot as well.
unlabelledView post →YS Origin is complete! I did not see that extra boss coming! What a great game, I'm glad I made the journey through all of it. Now to go through Ys Book I & II and the other games on PCE! Thank you falcom for making this wonderful (although flawed) game.
unlabelledView post →Day 1: You put games plural, so I’ll drop three. My favorite Falcom game of all time is Ys Origin, fantastic dungeon crawler with an amazing story/characters/music and gameplay that feels like crack with how addicting it is. Nordics is my fav Adol Ys game, so fun! Zero is my fav Trails game!
unlabelledView post →13. Ys: The Oath in Felghana I very much admire the dungeon crawler-y Ys Origin, which is in some respects a better game than this one. I'm also hugely fond of Ark of Napishtim and the old bump combat games. But I think if I had to pick the out and out best Ys title, it would be this one.
unlabelledView post →Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Despite starting Ys Origin and Memories of Celceta over a decade ago, this marks my first time finishing an Ys game. Nothing against the other ones; I genuinely enjoyed them. Life just got in the way. But this was a wonderful ride.
unlabelledView post →Hi all! Played 4ish hours of Ys Origin. It’s so rad. I forgot how rad that game is lol read quite a bit more of War & Peace. I’m very very near the end of book 2, and the halfway mark really. Still loving it! It’s had its first little lull but I’m still very invested in the characters/plot etc.

unlabelledView post →YS ORIGIN. My favourite Ys out of the ones I've played (not done VIII, IX or X yet). What sounds like a game with a simple structure -- it's one big dungeon! -- turns out to be rather more interesting, particularly if you play through with all three characters. Killer music, too. 117/365 #365games
unlabelledView post →Thanks for hanging out, y'all! I finished Ys: The Oath in Felghana. Absolutely amazing game. I enjoyed every minute of it! Expect more Ys content in the near future. Next game: Ys: Origin! Hopefully in the next few days.

unlabelledView post →I honestly hate to be a boomer but I already felt this way about the original game. The way this era looks has a rustic feeling that really hits my brain. All their games could have stayed looking like YS: Origin for all I care.

unlabelledView post →56. Ys Origin (Steam) Been a while since I played an Ys game this year. And the series continues to provide me with excellent gameplay, story, and especially music without missing a beat. Since it's on the same engine as Oath in Felgana, a lot of my thoughts are the same here. Go play Ys!
unlabelledView post →12. Ys Origin Pretty neat game where you beat demons while playing as a cute axe wielding lady (or a mysterious guy with a cool stick). It was short but sweet. I also forget how pretty the sprite games are as well as the music here. 8/10
