Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted January 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Can you find the hidden Kingdom Hearts logo in the banner? General Information Welcome to the LP Ys. Like with the other LP threads, the goal is to complete the games, earn some event trophies, and have fun. The Ys games are about Adol Christin, an adventurer who likes to explore and map uncharted regions and usually ends up in events that threaten the world. The Ys games are standalone, so you don't need to play them all to understand what's going on. In Ys Memories of Celceta (Ys IV) Adol goes to the Celceta region and ends up losing his memories. He sets out to retrace his steps in hopes of remembering what happened. During the events of Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana, Adol shipwrecks on the cursed Isle de Seiren. He sets out to find other survivors and search for a way to escape the island. Meanwhile he's having strange dreams about a girl named Dana ever since washing ashore. Ys Origin is a prequel to the entire Ys series and takes place 700 years ago. The mythical continent Ys was ruled by 2 goddesses. One day the demon army invaded and the goddesses used their power to transport the last refuge into the sky. In response the demons build a tower to reach them. One day the goddesses were gone and humanity sent out a few elite warriors to look for them. Custom Trophies Participants who manage to complete their adventures can choose one of these custom event trophies as a reward. It doesn't matter when you've obtained the plat, even if you unlocked it prior to the event's starting date. Those of you who stack Ys plats can choose a trophy for every plat. The members who plat both a PS4 version and a Vita version of Ys VIII obtain a bonus trophy. If your forum name is different from the PSN ID, I'd appreciate it if you'd also post which username you want on the trophy. Should you change your forum username later, the name on the trophy won't be changed. Below are the trophies to choose from: Ys Memories of Celceta Spoiler Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana Spoiler Bonus Trophy Ys Origin Spoiler Guides If you're going for the plat, feel free to consult these guides: Ys Memories of Celceta Ys Memories of Celceta - Complementary Guide Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana PS4 Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana Vita Ys Origin Note: there are differences between the PS4 and Vita version of Ys VIII.

Edunstar84 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Not sure if I should sign uop or not. Maybe later, after I've completed SAO and Persona 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonidol38 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Please sign me up. I finished Memories of Celceta and Lacrimosa of Dana (Vita-version) and still need to finish the PSN-version of Ys Origin and the PS4-version of Dana. For the badges: I prefer to use the forum handle Crimson Idol. Celceta --> Karna Lacrimosa --> Laxia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viech54 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Nice, was waiting for this. Definitely sign me up for this event. I have Lacrimosa of Dana (PS4) and Memories of Celceta. Not sure which emblems I want just yet, will tell you once I know. Also started Origin on PS4 a while ago, might be what I need to get back into it. Could also be enough to make me get Lacrimosa on the Vita and plat it again. If only I had some space left on my Vita. Have to clear some other games first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevvik Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm in. It will kick start me back on Origin again. I've finished the plat for Celceta already. The Karna badge is tempting but the colouring on the Freida badge came out sweet so that tips the scales for me and I'll go with Freida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurorac Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'd like to join too. Almost done with Memories of Celceta, just have to do the last half of my hard playthrough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myu Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Celceta has been sitting patiently in my backlog for a while now so this event might be a good way to get the motivation to finish it once and for all. I'm also interested in the two other games but I might not participate right away as I'm still in the middle of Trails of Cold Steel and I promised myself I would also get rid of Chaos;Child after that.

Myu Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just now, Crimson Idol said: You won't be able to get rid of it. It will follow you until you see disillusions yourself. It's probably going to become a meme at this point but I really intend on platting it one day I just knew you would comment on that. It feels like every time I mention Chaos;Child, I expect you in the background with a piece of cardboard with "not happening" written on it.

I just hope that you mention Chaos;Child way more often than me seeing you mentioning it or otherwise it may feel like I'm stalking you, which I'm totally not.

Mesopithecus Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have Ys Origin sat in the backlog, so I'll join up. Probably won't play it for a while though due to Kingdom Hearts 3 being almost here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladynadiad Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I'm definitely joining. I already have the plat in all three games, but I'm going for the PS4 stacks of Lacrimosa of Dana and Origin right now. For my already finished ones, I'd like Hugo for Origin, Frieda for Celceta and Hummel for Dana. Edited January 27, 2019 by ladynadiad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_argentea Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Wonderful project! ? I'd like to join this Let's Play. I have only Ys VIII (PS4) and a double Ys Origin platinum trophies (PS4 international version and Asian version). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare difficulty on it is actually a challenge, but it's nothing that can't be overcome with either grinding or practice. I'd recommend to give that one a shot. Though Celceta is actually my first plat ever on PSN. I actually platted it before we had much in the way of guides even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ys Origin is one of my favorite games. I even own three different versions of it. That doesn't mean I'm any good at it, though. Nightmare boss rush destroyed me and has kept me away from this platinum for almost a year now. I managed to make it to the end, but I just couldn't beat the final boss. I wouldn't mind trying again, but having to start from the beginning kills it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking to the person who has over 600 hours of playtime in this game on Steam all because on there the 100% requires beating nightmare boss rush with all versions of all characters. Eventually I did pull it off. It took a ton of practice because I'm just not as good with every character who isn't Hugo. Be glad this version only requires beating it once with any character instead of all because I doubt I would have tried for the plats if it did. Try doing nightmare boss rush with EX Hugo. EX version of Hugo has a bit more range and having to go from EX to regular on the Steam version for the nightmare boss rush, I can tell you there is a huge difference. EX Hugo was also the first character I was able to pull it off with. It will take patience and persistence, but it is a very doable thing. This is a game where skill can be gained through practice because it's a matter of learning how to dodge the attacks. Expect it to take more than a few tries the first time, but I can attest to the fact that even a terrible player like myself was capable of learning how to pull it off. The final boss is definitely tricky and even sometimes takes me a few tries to do it, but once you know the patterns it's very doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I remember looking at the achievements and thinking they were impossible (for me, at least). I never really cared for achievements for some reason; I have over 100 games on Steam and not a single 100%. On 1/29/2019 at 9:07 PM, ladynadiad said: Try doing nightmare boss rush with EX Hugo.

Oddly enough, I didn't find it all that frustrating until I got to the final boss. I must've spent at least an hour on that part alone. The thing is, I can only fail so many times before I lose it. I couldn't take it anymore and just gave up. What I should've done was take a break and come back to it later, I know that now. I do want to try again eventually, when that'll be, I don't know. I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit, though. Whatever the case, the fact that you could 100% the Steam version at all is quite an achievement. I can't imagine the amount of persistence and determination you'd need for that. It's not something I could do, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry for the late reply everyone. I've been busy and KH3 just released, so updates will be slow.

JohnCenaSong- Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have 100% in Ys Origin, I wouldn't particularly have much interest in the other two, but if they added Ark of Napishtim I'd probably end up 100%ing that, I had the demo in the past but never got to play the whole game. Overall though Ys games are good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, taking a break and coming back is usually the best thing, even if you suspend the game and come back after doing something else. There is absolutely no need to do boss rush in one sitting, At least the update makes it a lot smoother. Boss rush on the Vita version before the patch was actually a lot harder because the game was so laggy until they patched it. And it's not that I don't give myself enough credit, it's that I'm saying that it's possible for someone who is downright terrible with the characters to eventually learn boss rush well enough to beat it. Ys Origin isn't like Muramasa Rebirth where you do need some actual skill and luck for fury difficulty (which I still haven't pulled off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never played the Vita version, but I do remember hearing that it was a bad port (when it first came out). Anyway, thanks for the advice. I think I'll attempt it again sometime soon, maybe after I'm completely finished with Resident Evil 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex10097 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I have completed Ys Origin, Celceta and Dana on the Vita. For badges I want: Celceta – Frieda ( I actually prefer Karna but Frieda's one looks better) Dana – Laxia Origin – The Claw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
