I think you’re right. PSP has 1 & 2 chronicles, Felghana (3), Napishtim (6), and Seven was PSP originally. Though Im unsure how many of those were available digitally so that you could get them on Vita.
Then this game (8) and Celceta (4) were on Vita, as well as a rerelease of Origin on Vita.
Game 5 to date has never been released outside Japan, so 1-8, minus 5 are all theoretically possible on Vita.
It’s all on Steam nowadays too and I also play those on Steam Deck.
I personally love the Ys stories. They pack tons of character development and story into single games. The gameplay is primarily why I love it. It’s some of the best action hack n slash for me. I know some of it is trophy and typical but I don’t care. The stories usually have fun twists and memorable moments with all the characters. Every game is pretty different too, making them feel fresh each time.
One thing I like about Ys, is while there’s a little bit in the games of romance or sexy girls, it is actually pretty astonishing how these games never force romance between the main character and all the women. Especially this game Ys VIII, there’s so many moments where you’re sure they’re going that route, and they don’t.
No, the Ys games truly focus on an adventurer and his friends building rapport and saving the world. I’d argue these games have tons of teachable and wholesome moments.
And as the other person said, all the Ys music is brilliant. I have all the music for almost all the games. Love it.
That’s a neat idea, owning and playing every letter. Most Ys games are on a lot of platforms and great stories, so I wouldn’t think a Vita is necessary unless you really want to. Because they were low production and pricey memory cards.
But the Vita was an amazing piece of hardware for its time, and likely very ahead of its time, and so it holds a special place for me. If only Sony had truly supported it.
This is a ridiculously good good with insane amounts to do, character development, and story. It’s wild to me how much the original game had and wasn’t DLC or a separate game.
It’s not emulated. This is from recent gameplay on my still working 2012 original Vita. You press the PS and Start button at the same time on Vita to take a screenshot.
Yes I always loved the graphics on most Vita games. I also play this same game on Steam, but the Vita version has a charm that can’t be beat.
I also used to feel the same way about Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. The original PSP graphics on an actual PSP screen were in my opinion better than the HD remake.
As a massive fan of Age of Empires since the first one, I still cannot believe they re-released them as “Definitive” editions, and then have proceeded to add new DLC to them.
I love the support and attention they’re getting, and the new content they never had before. But I cannot get over adding paid DLC’s to a DEFINITIVE EDITION OF SOMETHING!!!
Hahaha laughable. Space Marine 2 had Playstation issues at launch. Not sure if fixed yet. I remember just how literally unplayable Skyrim was on PS3. And so many in-between.
You also get a guarantee that games will never be as cheap on console as on PC. I have been transitioning for years and it’s astonishing how often I see a game for sale on PC for like $2 and on sale on PSN for like $20, or not available on PSN at all. Not to mention less options for modding idiotic design flaws to increase playability. No ability usually to customize controls.
You also likely guarantee you can’t replay that old game from 2002 or whatever yoh might wanna do cause theres very little, if any, backwards compatibility, and if there is, it probably involves re-buying.
Consoles are limited and give a false sense of simplicity and a false sense of being cheaper.
