Superbuu3 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Banner created by Floriiss Anyone who wants to join, you may use this sign up thread, until it is closed. If you want to send an enquiry after that date, send me a PM or consult this thread here. Anyone who invades the We Play thread breaking this simple request will likely be added to my ignore list and effectively banned from all future playthroughs, this also includes anyone who puts spoilers in the thread, beyond the point we've played up to. This is the sign up topic, the actual topic will be full of spoilers etc so i'm keeping them seperate. Hey guys I'm Superbuu3, not sure if people know me, but i'm relatively new to the forum. As I and many of us have a huge backlog to improve motivation being able to play at the same time and discuss with people should help move things along. I'm considering putting up some gameplay including boss fights and cutscenes so people who can't play can give there input on the game to. If you want to see how this works in practice we already have done Okami which you can see here and Bioshock is running currently here. Why sign ups you may ask well we're going to be starting in a few days and I thought would be nicer if we have a group of us if possible. I know a lot of people have difficulty getting into a game or struggle to finish for various reason I thought this would be a good idea to motivate. If you signed up i'll send you a reminder if need be, I also think if you commit to the topic you'll be more likely to follow through on keeping up the pace. I'm not 100% sure when this will start, but I thought its better telling people sooner or later, I'm estimating a couple of weeks, but it maybe sooner. I'll update this first post accordingly. If you don't want to go for the platinum no one is forcing you to, essential info for a platinum run will be explained in the opening post for the topic. PS: No limit to how many people want to join. Guidelines: 1. We only play up to the agreed milestone, I think if we leave people behind the group will fall apart, if people fall behind we will continue, but i do hope he others will try to keep up. 2. If you do meet an agreed story milestone, try to focus on any collectibles, checkpoints will be closer together for this. 3. Let us know in the thread if you meet a milestone so we can tell if everything is running smoothly, if you're having trouble with a boss or particular enemies try to ask in the thread first before consulting a guide, this is mainly to keep the talk on the game still open. 4. If you have any suggestions I'm completely open to them.

No one is expected to go for the platinum and the checkpoints will only really be in place for the inital run, we'll discuss what people want to do about the second run for a plat on Nightmare, after we finish the game. I'll inevitably do the Nightmare run, so don't worry about other people not doing two runs. Edited July 19, 2015 by Superbuu3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I've already platted the game but include me I got the soft copy but I deleted this game long time ago(of course no back up) so I guess I will be starting from the scratch again Edited June 1, 2015 by JeieeM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zajac9999 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I might join in on this. I've almost finished my first playthrough but the game takes two so I could just wait for everyone when I finish it for the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odagiri Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Wow that was quick I'm going have to think about this If I decide to join I will have to buy it which means Witcher 3 will have to wait a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys that would be a huge help, if you guys join should make this easier, as we'll have a better clue how to aim for trophies. I'm always hesitant at looking at RPGs for that exact reason.

Odagiri Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Is it hard or different to other rpg's? Never played a Ys game before Edited June 1, 2015 by shadow0988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always hesitant at looking at RPGs for that exact reason. lol.. dunno if I could even be a help in this one... played this game like 1 and a half year ago and couldn't really recall most of the trophies. *ehem shameless advertisement coming up* hope this thread help. Is it hard or different to other rpg's? Never played a Ys game before ooooh... it is not hard, trust me.. you could check some gameplay vids to know more in gameplay (since I suck in explaining in words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odagiri Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Ha ha No worries I would buy this & witcher 3 anyways knowing my luck I can be such a compulsive buyer ;__; Edited June 1, 2015 by shadow0988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbuu3 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Is it hard or different to other rpg's? Never played a Ys game before There's a difficulty setting so you can likely make it as easy as you want. I'll be playing on normal or hard first playthrough for a challenge though.

hyappatuhyakuchu Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have the game, and still never played it. But I don't understand though, what are we supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odagiri Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) What happens is you join when it starts in a new topic we will follow the rules & all try to play up to the current checkpoint until most people have caught up & keep doing that until we beat the game Edited June 1, 2015 by shadow0988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasaDeBen Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ive been needing a reason to go back this and fill in my map and finish it off. Was giving myself a break so I can enjoy the story again.

But I dont understand how this works at alll.... A new topic is made and Buu sets up a checkpoint (first boss/specific trophy/a level completed/etc - depends on the game chosen) that everyone who joined will attempt to reach. Once everyone (or a certain number of participans) has reached the checkpoint, a new one will be set up. Inbetween/during these checkpoints, Buu (or someone else if Buu doesn't have time) will make questions to open up discussion about the game (opinions on various things, is it easy/difficult/fun/annoying to play, checkpoint-specific questions, etc). You can check the Okami and BioShock topics for examples of these discussions (spoilers contained within). For Okami, a number of people also tried to get the platinum at (nearly) the same time, which worked out well enough. That was optional, though.

zadorvp Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for the info. So if you reach that point then everyone stops and catches up? Yeah, basically (though it's been agreed that a new checkpoint should be set up even if everyone didn't get to the current one - it's not fair making everyone wait if someone goes away for a weekend or something). The suggested thing to do once you reach a checkpoint is to get all the collectibles/etc available at that point (though you can just as well work on those while going for the checkpoint). In the case of Ys, for example, you could go gather map percentage, level up, learn new skills and train them, etc. You just can't continue story-wise (or whatever is used as the checkpoint system). That's why it's a good idea to play other games alongside the "We Play" game so you have something to do if you already did a bunch of optional stuff and can't do much more efficiently at the moment.

Dragon-Archon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks guys that would be a huge help, if you guys join should make this easier, as we'll have a better clue how to aim for trophies. I'm always hesitant at looking at RPGs for that exact reason. If you need help planning checkpoints and the missable trophies, I can help. I'm writing a guide about Ys, but I don't think it'll be finished before June 12th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
