I think I screwed up.
After finishing Trails in the Sky, I decided to start Ys X Proud Nordics last night.
While I’m still early in and only done the first mini dungeon, if you can even call it that, I did really enjoy it.
Today I kept thinking why the title just said “Nordics”.
Just looked at the box and I installed the wrong version.
I don’t even know if the save file i compatible with the improved release. I doubt it. 😭
Oh well.
I get to do it all again tonight…
@outofprintarchive Are you far in? Does it get better? I tried a bit of Ys 10 and I don't know, to me it just really felt like it was missing something. It failed utterly to draw me in at all. Maybe I'm just expecting too much after 8 and 9, but it just seemed to lack that atmosphere and depth those had. Even Ys 7 drew me in more.
Plus, darn, I can't believe they're still using that ancient engine. It's so far past time to upgrade to something more modern that I just don't even know what's going on... I loved Ys 8 and 9 as I said, but wow did the engine hold them back... They've added more polys, slightly higher resolution textures, but it still looks like when you play a PS2 game in an emulator. 😆 I don't mind that so much as limits like area size/complexity and etc though.
I'm not far into it at all.
Just got up to the light house and I tend to take my time and talk to everyone, like in Trails.
@outofprintarchive Ah, well, it's obviously drawing you in more than it did me.
Perhaps it's just me. I don't know. With everything these days it's getting harder and harder to truly enjoy anything. If you're enjoying it, I hope you enjoy it all the way through to the end.
(Also I really like to take my time in things like this too. Immersing oneself is perhaps the best part, and if you rush through it ends all too soon.)
Oh, I get that all too well.
The only things keeping me sane these days are my studies and hobbies.
And at times I'm only hanging on by a thread it feels like.
