action RPG/JRPG/Nihon Falcom/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Ys

Review by Matt S.  “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free,” so Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote once, and Ys IX reminded me of that quote a little. It’s not such a direct interpretation (we leave that to Persona 5), but imprisonment is the…

Video by Matt S.  Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is the latest in a long-running series of action JRPGs that I have had a complex relationship with over the years… but this one? Wow, do I love this one. Nihon Falcom has knocked it out of the park and then some.…

 News by Matt S.  What an odyssey this has been. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA was released on PlayStation 4, with a PC release expected soon after. But then the nightmares started for publisher, NISA. A localisation so controversial the team needed to go back and re-localise from scratch. Issue…

Falcom/JRPG/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony/Ys/Ys: Memories of Celeta

Review by Matt S. Some months after Memories of Celceta released in the US, NISA has taken on the publishing responsibilities for the game in Europe and Australia. A game of this standard, were it in any other genre, would have been a notable release on the PlayStation Vita. However,…

Review: Ys: Memories of Celceta (Vita)
