      I hate when people talk about graphics like they're the only aspect of a games visuals. Ys 8 may not have had all that good graphics but it's a better looking jrpg than most because the visual design and colour palette was fantastic. You don't need modern graphics to make a good looking game. Just some good art direction.

          I'm not saying that you're talking graphics as the only aspect of visuals, I'm more speaking in general of people these days who act like a game having good graphics is this super important aspect that makes or break a game when plenty of games with good graphics look like shit because there's no artistic vision behind it beyond imitation reality lazily. I think the bigger criticism that you can give Falcom in terms of their visual design would probably be their animation work. The character models are really good but the animations are notoriously bad. Though saying that Since Hajimari the last 3 Kiseki games have had better animations so hopefully Ys X follows through and has potential to be a great game visually speaking.

            which is true, I'm not gonna play an ugly game, simple as. And on the technical side it doesn't even require that much, just make sure the framerate is at least 60fps, resolution is good, textures are good, and there isn't a bunch of vaseline AA and postprocessing shit destroying the crispness of the image. for 2d, none of that le ebin 8-bit retroshit please.

                No it isn't. They're two separate aspects of visual design. Graphics can be used to complement good art direction by giving it greater detail and allowing for a greater scope of what can be shown but art direction is the driving force of visuals. It's this stupid misunderstanding of what graphics even are in the first place is why you get morons who would say

                Yes it is you fricking moronic zoomer. Can you see it? Is it appearing on the screen? Then it's graphics. Art style and technical fidelity are the two main components of graphics in games.

                You've got it backwards. Graphics are a component of art direction, not the other way round.

                Graphics are anything that appear on the screen. It's effectively a synonym for visuals, which makes art style a component of graphics.

      There are only like 2 games in the series that I'd say are bad to start with and those would be 2 and 9. 2 is kind of a direct follow up of 1 and they're kind of a package deal so that wouldn't work and 9 is too nostalgia bait full to be a good starting point. It's also garbage so I wouldn't recommend it anyway.

          The best feature of 8 is the adventure on the island. 9 not having any interesting locations to speak of just cripples the game. It's actually impressive that you can go from what is in my opinion one of the best jrpg maps ever in Ys8 to having one of the dullest and most boring ones in 9.

        Kiseki and Ys are very different games. You could argue they're polar opposites hence why there's such a strong animosity between their fanbases a lot of the time. I actually think Trials has better gameplay than Ys. Ys is just decent in terms of ARPG gameplay but Kiseki is the highest standard of turn based RPGs.

    >"Since Felghana (Ys 3 remake), Celceta (Ys 4 remake) and Origin were made long after Napishtim (Ys 6), Falcom retconned most of what happened in their original releases and intentionally planned for the games to be played in aNEWchronological order,NOTrelease order. In our interview with Kondo-san, President of Falcom, he explains that there are usually three people responsible for all the text in a Ys game, with one person in charge of the lore."

    So, in English, this translates to play everything in release order that hasn't been superceded by a remake already ( 1/2, 5 and 6 haven't been replaced) first making it...
    > 1/2 > 5 > 6

    and then from 6 onwards play the remaining titles (Origins, Oath, Celceta, 7, 8, 9) as they came out in release order making it
    > Oath > Origin > 7 > Celceta > 8 > 9

    And disregard any numbering or chronological timings (such as Oath being a remake of what was originally Ys 3)

    Putting them together makes it:

    > 1/2 > 5 > 6 > Oath > Origins > 7 > Celceta > 8 > 9
