- Now I have played all the Napishtim system Ys games ending with the namesake for that gameplay style. I can't believe how far through the series I've gotten over this year, although any other games are on pause now that Cold Steel 4 is here.

Love this channel so much!! Can't wait to play the Ys games
I just finished the game in nightmare catastrophe dificulty and you pretty much nailed it, I must say that exploring in this game feels great and dungeons can feel very unique, you cant really tell when you are going to hit the end or if your going the right way ,also you need to respect the dungeon and dont go in to quickly since it can kick your ass if you do, grinding, temepering and exploring other areas might be necesary in order to gain more power, it felt great to come back to a dificult area and be able to fight back, very uniquie feeling this game has, the quality of the game is exceptional, in nightmare dificulty, bosses more than skill require an strategy, once you find the strategy to beat them they are not really that hard, you do require certain power in order to make a fight duable, otherwise you can get stuck in a infinite battle. Oath bosses required strategy as well but they required you to get very good at the game. Thanks for the review, hope this rant can help you improve your understanding of this game.
I've finally reached Ark of Napishtim! Gotta say, after beating the first boss, compared to Oath, being able to heal during a boss fight makes the fight infinitely more manageable than Oath. Still love Oath the most but I'm so excited to play my second Napishtim engine game! I do enjoy the Napishtim engine much more than Seven and Celceta's party system.
The Napisthim system definitely had a stronger idea of what it wanted to be at the beginning than the party system had. I still liked Seven and Celceta but Napishtim and Oath are more sure of themselves I'd say.
This one is definitely rough around the edges but I also liked the characters, the island setting and the soundtrack. The (Japanese!) opening cinematic is one of my favourite Ys openings and it's a title with much lore. Overall a recommendation for every fan, but I would recommend to play them in release order as this game really is a step back gameplay-wise compared to its successors. Oh and I love the artstyle of this era of Falcom as well, Ys Seven was kind of a letdown for me. Hopefully we'll see a physical PS4 release of Napishtim and Felghana someday...
Thank you for your efforts and this great new video! :-)
Well, I hope Ys Seven isn't a let down for me, but I guess we'll see once I get around to it likely after Cold Steel 4. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I look forward to your comments on them.
I just beat this yesterday, it was harder than expected on hard difficulty. But the final boss was very very with a cool peaceful theme.
Good to know on the hard difficulty front, I suspected it wouldn't be easy.
I started the game today. I'm playing the PSP version. It's my 3rd Ys game. I have previously beaten Memories of Celceta and Oath in Felghana.
I'm disappointed in the bad framerate in this version so far. But I'll try and put up with it. If it gets out of hand then I'll see if I can obtain a copy of the PS2 version.
Hope the frame rate is at least tolerable, but that does line up on what I've heard regarding VI on the PSP.
Hi Commrio! I just noticed you put this out, which means I must have somehow missed your Oath in Felghana video (rip CZcams algorithm). At any rate, I'm glad to see you've tried out Ys 6! It's the only one I ever played as a kid on the ps2. Couple notes if anyone wants to play this, if you don't play it on steam, you may end up with a version where the useful wing of alma only teleports you to the plains, which probably makes the game 3-5 extra hours due solely to travel time. I also strongly recommend using catastrophe mode before upping it to hard because taking away healing items makes it significantly more challenging. Also Rio, in case you were wondering who Terra is, I recently finished the entire series, and discovered she is from Ys 5. I don't really recommend Ys 5 though even if you like emulators, it wasn't really that good of a game. Ys 6 on the other hand, was very good and I look forward to your review of 7 sometime after you finish Trails of Cold Steel 4! I've never played that series, but I know my roommate was also incredibly hyped for it. Have a great day :)
The algorithm is taking revenge on me for all my jokes about it at the end of videos! It did seem like Terra was supposed to be more significant, but I guess I'll have to wait for Ys 5's remake to get to know her better (any year now, it's gonna happen). I am always glad to have more Falcom games on the horizon to recommend. Have a great day as well!
I DID play it. In fact I beat it. This game drags in the middle, like a lot, but overall I liked it very much.
Have you started playing Ys 7 yet? Can't wait for your video on it and Ys 8. Do you think you will make a video like this on Ys 9 in the future too?
I have not started 7 yet, I might get to it late January early February depending on releases, but we’ll have to see. I do plan to make videos like this one on 7, 8, and 9 I just gotta play them first.
I played the psp version and I couldn’t warp, and the dash jump was easy to use
Funny enough, the reason i played Ys VI is because Geis.
So before i played Ys VI, the first Ys game i played was Ys Seven (actually it was Ys Origins, but it's not Adol's story).
During my playthrough of Ys Seven, Geis actually became my favourite character in the game, so when i search more about him on google, that's when i found out he also appears in previous installment (Ys VI)
It is nice that he appeared twice since Ys games don't tend to have recurring characters other than Adol and Dogi
@@CommRio if Geis can appear in two games, Credo from IX might have a chance too because he became a mercenary just like Geis at the end (even Geis himself appears as a cameo in Credo's ending screen)
Hummel could be a recurring character too if he met Adol during his Transporter job, but somehow i feel like his chance of coming back is lower now
Personally, i'd like a spinoff Ys game about a character that was travelled with Adol before (specifically, i actually want to see both Credo & Geis in the same game xD)
Ys 6 on the psp made me quit back then because of the reaaaaly long loading times each area change, especially if I was just backtracking to the village, it takes the game longer to load the small snippets of areas than to actually cross the area being loaded
Though I'll try the pc version
But u could teleport in Ys 6 too, or am I mistaken? It's been a while since I played the PS2 version of it.
So it's been a while so I'm not sure what I said in the video, but the warp function was expanded in the PC version. You can warp to any save point instead of just to the beginning of the current dungeon
For some reason , i cant find myself to like this one as much as the others, i wont say its like the black sheep of the series, but idk, played this after Chronicles and before Oath,
Its a weird one for me, the story is pretty entertaining tho
I get that, Napishtim is not going to rank among my favorites in the series but I still enjoy it.
I'm considering playing this one after I beat Oath in Felghana. I may skip over to Ys 7 though, even though this one canonically takes place before Ys 7.
I would recommend playing this one before 7. It's not a lot but there are some references to 6 in 7 that spoil the events of 6 a little bit.
@@CommRio Ok. VI was just 5 bucks on Steam, so I got it.
@@Veo87 Nice!
Now if only Oath in Felghana would let me freaking beat it so I can get to it. Oye I'm getting impatient with this game! I just need to beat the last damn boss!
@@Veo87 Yeah the final boss for Oath is definitely the most challenging final boss I've faced in Ys.
Is this a good entry to the series?
Good entry or good entry point? I think it’s a good entry in the series although not top tier, as for entry point I wouldn’t advise Ark to start with because it’s story is built up by a couple games before it. You can still have fun playing it if it’s your first Ys game, but there are some things that will go over your head.
@@CommRio sorry good entry point. Maybe I should play Ys origin first, but I already own this for ps2 lol.
@@chickenman7252 Given the choice between Origin and Napishtim I would advise Origin, but they'll both be fine whatever you choose.
@@CommRio I already started Napishtim lol. Really fun, but so much backtracking.
@@chickenman7252 Oh yeah I've heard that about the PS2 version since they didn't have the fast travel that the PC version has.
Man, the pc one is inferior than the ps2.
