j-a-y-888 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've also reached checkpoint 4. That said, I accidentally went a little bit further than I was meant to - my plan was to play up to earning the trophy Closer to the Truth but for whatever reason, I didn't see it pop! With this in mind, I don't think I'm that much further. Although I gained another memory, I haven't reached the next town or anything. My stats are: Map completion 51.9 %Memories found 44.4%Chests found 37.5%Harvest points 61.1%Item completion 35.2% (They're obviously a little bit higher because I played more than I was supposed to!)

NullRay85 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Checkpoints 2 and 3 finished. Just to keep the discussion alive, I wanted to discuss my opinions on the game so far. 1. Thoughts on the amnesia as a plot device in this game? It's not the most original thing in JRPGs, but I'm interested in learning more about Adol's past. 2. Thoughts on Adol and Duren? (don't worry if you don't have many this is more to see how our opinions change on them) Adol is your typical, rather silent hero and Duran is your strong, rational friend. Their partnership is pretty much mutual, Adol wants his memories and Duran wants money, so it's 50-50. 3. Favourite Character so far? I gotta say my favorite is Adol so far, I'm still not sure about Duran since he's in it just for the money. I'll just have to wait and see. 4. Thoughts on General Leo? Do you think he'll prove to be an ally or a hindrance in the long run? He's just comic relief. It's kind of obvious he's your competitive ally, but I hope he'll prove useful later on. 5. Thoughts on the combat system? Who have you been using most? I haven't played a JRPG like this before, so it's refreshing to try something new. I've been equally using Adol to beat enemies and Duran for the treasure chests. 6. How did you find the first boss fight in the mines? It was a good warm-up for what to expect later on. 7. Do you like the art style/graphics? The art-style is pretty neat and colorful. The graphics are good, despite some so-so character models. Though, visuals take second place compared to gameplay. Overall, it's great so far! Edited July 10, 2015 by NullRay85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyappatuhyakuchu Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's not the most original thing in JRPGs Dude... Ys and Falcom are pioneers of the Action RPG genre... By the way, sorry all. I'll try to reach checkpoint 4 and update soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbuu3 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 By the way, sorry all. I'll try to reach checkpoint 4 and update soon. He was talking only in regards to the amnesia as that was the question he was answering. I'm actually playing this right now trying to get to checkpoint 4. Hopefully we can all get to the checkpoint soon and move things along, the est of this will go quicker that checkpoint had to be huge to compensate for the branching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbuu3 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 OK in the sacred beast lair there's a chest i didn't get. I suspect its behind this stack of rocks I can break, but Ozma left the party so i'll need to go back for it later. Or am I mistaken. Its in the bit where the water current pushes you back the first time you see a water current in the sacred beast lair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yadilie Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yeah, you have to break every single rock besides one to get into a little nook. When you break the last one it resets all the blocks and you can break like normal to make the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NullRay85 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 That sacred beast lair reminded me a bit of Zelda's Water Temple :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NullRay85 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Checkpoint 4 completed. I'm just gonna play a bit more since I found the story to be more engaging now.

NetEntity Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Well, now that I'm awake, I better hurry and start playing. It feels so good to return to Ys again. Main menu's music made me tear up a bit already. Oh, and I'm going to play on Normal. Edited July 11, 2015 by NetEntity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetEntity Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Checkpoint 1 finished. Working towards checkpoint 2. P.S. Every time Mucho says his "catchphrase", I'm reminded of Linkara.

NetEntity Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Okay, I've fully cleared checkpoint 2 and currently doing cleanup for checkpoint 3 - Ancient Burrow and Sacred Beast Lair are completed, only need to get some missables, revisit Casnan and move the story further. After that I'll immidiately go towards Primeval Lands. Detailed status, notes, etc. will be posted tomorrow, as soon as I'll reach checkpoint 4.

Superbuu3 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I would recommend going to Comodo to complete teh quest for the artisan if you do that you can make higher tier accessories. These can prove to be helpful. I made rings with +2 skill point bonus and something that gave me SP while i walked. Makes maxing skills easy and allows to use them almost constantly.

If you think that's fast, wait until you get Skill Ring IV. That ring nets you 5 skill xp every time you use a skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I wanted to ask you, is it possible to unlock more than 4 skills for each characters at this point in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Actually I wanted to ask you, is it possible to unlock more than 4 skills for each characters at this point in the game? Nope, Skill Ring IV is the highest and in case you're wondering: no, they don't stack, so it's no use equipping more than 1 Skill Ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant as in skills for each character I have R1 + each face button, will i get a 5th and 6th skill to swap in later and if so will i unlock them anytime soon?
