First for dungeon crawling goodness.

She's really the rotten one of the bunch.

It also makes Ragna a more OP choice for endgame

This is literally just the big goron sword quest all over again. Some of the deliveries are some freaking random. I was sure i was going to give it to the service penguin due to her talking about weird food, but no, it's the guy who is worried about a lady who tripped and fell a few moments ago.

Estelle in 3d!

>Got entry 1 and 3, but somehow missed Colin's second entry in the character page

>The exit is this way dude

Ok, that actually got me laughing.

delet

I gotta give props the voice actor of this stupid cat. They managed to make her sound pretty damn annoying which is just enough to make me hate her even more.

I want to rape duvalie

patched Ao when

After this morning's Discord dumpster fire? Who knows?

D'Hell happened?

Shirley pls go

Everyone involved wants their full 15 minutes of fame. See the last thread.

Some of the dungeons have such random shit in them

>Only rabbits allowed
>No pets allowed, death if rules are broken, followed by a mushroom and a potted plant in the area
>Some knight thinking about life while holding a pot near the end of the dungeon

Also, just to make sure, I can't grab the last gear yet can I? Or the last 3 pets? Cause i only have 3 so far.

Flame showed up in the discord and started talking about how he got "lazy", and is leaking the patch privately to someone else, or some shit like that, and possibly not releasing it publicly. He acted ambiguous as hell as to who he was giving it to, if there is even is a person, and acting annoying basically, with everyone asking why all of a sudden and him not giving a clear answer.

Guren is still up for the patch to be out, so we don't know what the hell is the deal with Flame. Maybe he's just scaring everyone for the fuck of it, or maybe he's just trying to create drama for the sake of it, and at the worst, he's possibly gonna keep true on his word.

Odessa blanco, vs legendary super wolf.
I'm not sorry.

I like playing really old games so I downloaded the Master System version of Ys I.
Are there any fan translations of the Japanese PC versions of Ys II? I doubt it but I thought I'd ask.

Zerker: We want to cooperate
Flame: Cooperation is extremely overrated

>Flame: You guys want it? Steal it for yourselves
>Geofront dudes: Lol no?
>Flame: Ima give it to ma other dudes
>Geofront dudes: Give it to us wtf? we want the fame and glory fuck yourself dude you're so autistic zzz

I just want flame to leak the injection tool so I have a head start on patching the evo versions

Geofront cucks don't want the patch to be released

You forgot the part where Guren already gave them permission to edit it, and that he wants to make it private or something.

Yeah, when Flame says he wants to leak it, he's not talking about a public leak so we can all play it. He's saying that he'll leak it to some unidentified person/group to finish because he's lazy and it sounds like he doesn't give a crap about Geofront.

Then why bother making a rom then, at least make the translation sheet public so others can take a crack at it. Geofront had over a year with zero and at their current pace it'll be 2019 before we see zero and 2021 when we get ao

Guren stated he wanted a public release, Flame played that release of one of the final revisions and hated it; so he wanted to give it to a private group for editing - that's when all the drama started, Flame even stated that the geofront dudes have access to the private forum, if they wanted it that badly they can steal it

Now we don't know where Guren and the public release stands

I think the main problem is that he's being a little too ambiguous and dodging questions about what he's doing exactly. He already played through the game entirely, so the patch should be pretty much done, and he only has to insert the last translated lines Guren did. Geofront was going to work on it regardless after they were done with Zero, and they didn't mind the release, so why flame decided to make a scene near the supposed completion feels weird.

Hopefully it's really just him handling it to someone for them to make it work.

He was being ambiguous about who he is giving it to, and making it private for some reason, but if the person he gives it to does just finish it up and give it publicly we will get it. The problem is that he was acting weirdly like a brat in there with his "cooperation is overrated".

Which feels really out of the blue considering he didn't have any strong feelings on the translation quality. According to him he was handling the bugs and crashes, but he never really said anything about the TL being horrid, in fact he was cool with it being rough but accurate.

which ys do you play first

i don't care about playing archaic bullshit

gbatemp.net/threads/is-there-a-way-to-insert-the-leaked-zero-no-kiseki-fan-translation-into-the-evo-port.474193/

So a while back this happened when someone asked about getting the evo version going.

but half a year later it sounds like Geofront is focusing on PC what is the real deal?

>7 - Cecelta leak - 8
or

>1 - 2 - origins - oath - arc - 7 - celceta - 8

just play the modern games IMO, if you really like the series; you'd go back and play the older games

If you want to follow the story, play Ys 1 and 2.

After that the story kinda doesn't matter the order you do it. So my suggestion is to play through the games on the engines they were based on.

After 1 and 2, play Ark, Oath and then Origin.

And then you move on to the party system ones, 7, Celceta and 8.

You could also check out 5 i guess, but some say it's not that great. I think it's on the snes.

Please point out what i'm supposed to be reading. There too many big posts.

duvalie a shit

Was having Rue inside Ragna's weapon that fucking game changing? What the fuck.

No bully.

Wrong freaking picture.

Long story short irate poster upset at the prospect of injecting leaked translation into psvita evo version as though Geofront was already doing it when it seems that this is not the case.

I mean, they have the PC version to work with, which has way better assets and stuff to work with, plus they are also inserting the Evo voice work in it, and some improvements like stopping the lag present in the PC version when there's screen effects from skills like Aerial, morale, and so on.

Example video that JoseL posted of the fix:
youtu.be/zULIUYoSZRU

Not sure where you're getting at? Are you saying they should provide a patch for Evo too?

They don't have to provide a patch for Evo but why the hostility preventing others willing to do it

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So i guess Falcom didn't really make the Vampire stronger than a freaking demon.

Is Zander supposed to be part of the team? Because he seems to be giving misconceptions like "they are working with the Ao team", and so on.

Enjoy the most broken spell in the game. You're nigh invincible if you have that accessory that keeps your MP from dropping when you have max health.

I don't think i have that accessory yet.

If you insist on skipping 1 and 2 because of the Bump combat, you might as well start with Oath of Felghana. That's the remake of 3.

No clue who this Zander character is, but is it true that ps vita zero/ao evo is not Geofronts or Gurens focus?

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK! IT'S NOT OVER YET!?

Please tell me Mia explains why in the fuck she needs to follow through with this shit, and it's not just a "might as well".

No, they're working with PSP and PC specifically. Zander seems like just a retard who speaks for people and babblers on about shit he doesn't get. They never had a problem with the version itself, they're even borrowing the voice work present in it, but their focus is not for Evo.

I hope the AO patch comes out soon I would really enjoy playing it.

>He's the freaking mayor

That's more surprising than all the twists in the game so far.

Everyone does, the chance of it coming officially get slimmer by the day.

If you're posting Asuka, at least post Falcom's Asuka

I hope they at least make the google sheets read only public like they did for zero.

>wake up
>no patch

I prefer how the trading quest works in Zwei: AA because there's less things to trade and less confusing logic for who wants an item, but the reward in Zwei: II is so much better.

That moment outdoes even the craziest bits from Ys Seven a year later. Mia's basically not in the control of the situation at this point since she agreed, implicitly at first, to let Thermidor become her new brother...which hasn't gone well. Just wait and see.

Calvard when?

>I just used cheat engine to get enough points to watch all events available

I managed to dig up a Japanese new game plus save for CS on the PS3. That's one thing the PS4 can't do now since all saves are encrypted and you can't resign saves. Shame.

I used cheat engine instead because NG+ saves screw up the order of the fishes in the game, so you can fish the second to last fish in the game right from the start for example.

>cheaters

>Playing Oath OST as i play

Neat.

Only for events. It's not fun to use it for breaking the game, especially when CS is already the easiest of the kiseki series.

Reminder

Yuuki literally best boy

I was just about to ask why the hell the fairies were dealing in slave trade.

Is gurumin good? I played Oath in Felghana and Origins recently and they were fun, now I'm looking for something similar in gameplay and the cuteness makes it look appealing to me.

Heh

That one user, playing Zwei II

You filthy filthy pirate, disgusting

>Players in the last two weeks: 0 - 0 (0.00%)

>Average playtime in the last two weeks: 0 hours, 0 minutes

Flame is mentally retarded and shouldn't have anything to do with the fan translation scene in any medium.

It's similar to Zwei 2, but way more simple i feel. It's basically a cute adventure game, with a simple story, and really sucky voice acting for both English and japanese for some reason.

I buy my games from GoG. I prefer the lack of DRM on them with the installer since i like to take the game around on my laptop.

pretty poor detective skills dummy dumb dumb baka-face

>100% completed
>translator drama
sasuga kiseki fanbase

It's just Flame sperging out like usual. You can tell from the way he writes that he's got some mental deficiency.

So how tough are these level 99 doors that just opened up?

>Right on time for XSEED to swoop in and pick up the remains
All according to Hatsuus plans

Gurumin's fun and decent, but one of Falcom's weaker games from the era. The story's lighter than it should be, regular combat's a dull distraction from platforming, and camera controls are often unwieldy even on a dual-stick pad. Expect some well-designed bosses, repetitive but varied levels, and a killer soundtrack which kind of threw out the Sound Team jdk rulebook (in a great way).

Not actually that hard. You'll reach your low 30s after beating the first of them, within which you get the last Arcanum (though the boss at the end's gonna pose a big threat).

Zerker says he and his team will work on Ao regardless of what happens now, so we'll play the edited version in 2020. Sen 3 likely won't be out by then, so it's fine.

>Japs have good taste
What happened.

I can believe the first part, but not the year specification.

2021.

Oh the pigeon gives hints on the critic puzzles found in the dungeons and random tidbits.

Nevermind, he only has 2 rumors to tell.

>ao will be playable after sen 3
HAHAHAHAHA

You weren't kidding about Alwen's dark magic, this shit rapes everything.

Sen 3 will never be playable in English, so yes, now they have that in common!

Why y'all talking bout Sen III? Canon series ended at Cold Steel 2, anything else after is non-canon trash, no thanks. Speaking of which, can finally play the game soon :D

Does this labyrinth dungeon ever end? I assume it's like a 99 floors type dungeon.

Nevermind, it sorta ends on floor 10, and then i do a boss fight.

How badly will i get raped?

Are you winning, son?

>not acknowledging Altina as the true daughterfu

Took her down to 25% HP, and then she went like Akuma and raped with me a single special move.

You feel like figuring out the gimmick or would you like a hint?

I'll try to figure it out myself. I'm gonna explore a bit since i didn't even finish the Goron sword quest yet anyway. I'm at the Shuriken.

Finally.

You're doing the Kiseki community survey aren't you /fg/?

>no Veeky Forums option, have to be submitted as "other"
fuck that survey

Gurumin's shitty framerate killed it for me.

Just grab Ark of Napishtim or Xanadu Next.

>Gobbled up a bunch of food
>My characters actually got fat

I never noticed until now.

>the most active kiseki community SHUNNED

Holy shit.

normies can't speak of Veeky Forums, sadly

>Normies

Seems like you can't either.
