Ys IX Monstrum Nox - REVIEW - [4K HDR]

Episode
310 - I love games in the Ys series so I thought I'd spend a little time talking about the newest one that was released not long ago. But this game is just didn't look as appealing as Ys 8. Presented in 4K 60 frames per second with HDR for the 12 people who will watch it that way.

About the grind; you really don't have to grind monsters - the subquests give you lots of points to unlock story-areas.

[@KaoRYuusha]

If you haven't noticed yet Joe, the character movements in the cutscenes aren't stiff anymore like previous games, bcoz they were actually motion captured for the first time in a Falcom game, in 2019! Way too late if you ask me. The cutscene presentation is considerably improved since then with it, including the elimination of their signature "camera panning".

[@Jordan3DS]

That's neat, I didn't know they used motion capture!

[@sonicsju]

Nice episode! Very informative! Loved the Johnny Millennium cameo at the end!

[@EdgarFleming]

“fresh of breath air” :)

[@FranckKnight]

Oh by the way, the bosses in the Nox are NOT invincible, but they are usually something nuts like level 80 when you're 30. Basically they are meant to avoid as they can even kill your party members while you're not controlling them. They are meant to come back later. Defeating the bosses in the Nox otherwise gives you a big amount of the 'red crystals', so in some cases it might be faster to kill the boss than finding the rest of the crystals.

[@DarkMProductions]

I loved this game, but not quite as much as 8. I played on the base PS4, and it runs at 30 Fps in the city, and 60 everywhere else. As for the visuals, I can forgive them because the city map is by far the largest unbroken map Falcom has ever made. Which was necessary due to the new traversal abilities. I liked exploring the city too. Overall, Falcom continues to prove they are masters of their craft, and eagerly await their next title.

[@viliger]

PC version is not out till July, Joe. Same as Switch. The good news is that Durante's studio (the guy behind Dark Souls fix and the studio that fixed disastrous Ys 8 launch on PC) is behind the port so I think it will be fine. Also thank you for the review Joe, you are one of the few people I trust with opinion on Ys, everyone else seems to be either fixated on 8 or Oath in Felghana and nothing else.

[@SnesRulez]

On the grinding aspect he mentioned, the sidequest give a crapton of nox as a reward so if you do all of those it won't take you 20 minutes of mindless grinding monsters

[@GameSack]

Instead it'd take you 45 minutes of sidequests (depending on the sidequests) and little to no experience points.

[@brNX]

No grinding is needed, I did the side missions and it was plenty enough, oh and the PC version releases 6 Jul, 2021, I agree 100% good review of an excellent game

[@B33FY2011]

I am currently playing through YS Origin. It's my first ever time playing an YS. Once I've got through it I'm going back to do the games in chronological order. That will be a fresh of breath air once done.

[@Jordan3DS]

Personally, Ys Origin was my least favorite in the series (just below Memories of Celceta). I did play it on Hard, though, which kind of ruins the game in a lot of ways, so hopefully you're having a better time with it. I highly recommend emulating the PC Engine versions of Ys I - IV, they're the definitive versions of each of those games and put the Steam versions of Ys I & II to shame. Also, Oath In Felghana and Memories of Celceta are very different from the original Ys III and IV, so I would make sure to play the originals first and then the remakes/reimaginings at a later time.

[@chowdown]

Lol, the Safari Hunt song on Joe's phone! I spoiled that little surprise by reading the song credits for the episode, though. But I would've instantly recognized it regardless.

[@AlucardsQuest]

Thank you to Game Sack and Happy Console Gamer for telling me about Ys, and I hope more people give the games a chance! I've enjoyed every game I've played in the series, especially the newer games for modern systems! 9 is good, but I still think 8 is amazing!

[@mathewhosier9739]

Only problem with 8, is it was originally designed for the vita, so the overall quality isn't the best, 9 is definitely a much higher quality title, the performance differences are night and day in favor of 9

[@AlucardsQuest]

@@mathewhosier9739 I kind of agree with Joe though, the new areas in IX seem to be less lush with duller colors. I think that is deliberate because this feels like a darker setting and story, but I'm more interested to see what they do with Ys X.

[@NeoSonicStrike]

This game really grew on me, during the first half or so of the game I kept worrying if this game was going to match the excellence of Ys VIII, as I continued playing I stopped caring about that comparison, the games narrative and environment are so unique it stands on its own. I was sad to say goodbye to the characters at the end. I didn't think there was any chance I'd like this game as much as YsVIII, I'd still give it an edge but a very slight one. It's a brilliant game but I hope some new gameplay changes occur in the next Ys game because I can see combat getting stagnant If they continue with the current system.

[@Onyominoma]

I didn't realize this came out yet so when i saw this uploaded i immediately bought it and have been playing since then. I definitely enjoy doing everything there is to do, the moment i get access to it, like going back to old dungeons and getting the treasure chest i couldn't get without the right power. I think this game is pretty great so far, I'm on chapter Six and I'm super curious as to why there are two Adol's and really want to figure that out for myself. I'm also glad your review didn't really spoil anything for me. I think the grind is definitely fine, even fighting for the Nox points, but as many others stated the side quests give you basically all you need to open the next area, but i find myself fighting them a bunch to get elixirs so i can sell them and make better gear/buy the best consumables. Getting 8500gold in the first chapter is an insane amount of money and all my characters are equipped with the lifesteal gloves, playing on the difficulty after Hard because i have a problem so i need all the help I can get. I love this series as well, I hope to see a great next gen experience on their next release. Saying this game has PS3 or worse graphics is pretty harsh, it's definitely looking and playing like a PS4 game, just a low budget art style. There are worse looking series' out there.

[@ShadowBasch]

You get the truckload of nox points from the chapter sidequests which mitigates the grind pretty much. Great review Joe!

I finally did it. I never played a Ys game and since you've been talking about it for years now I took you by your word and got the Ys I & II Chronicles+ for starters.

[@Jordan3DS]

I'd honestly recommend just emulating Ys I & II on PC Engine instead of playing the Steam versions. The music sounds WAY better, there's full voice acting, the visuals are far superior, and the gameplay overall is better. The PC Engine version was far ahead of its time when it released in 1989 whereas the Steam version is just the really cheap 2001 remake with little money or effort put into it. By owning the Steam versions you can legally emulate the game, so there's no moral grey area there!

[@nohomers100]

Oooo. Tight gameplay is TIGHT!

[@WimpyMcWeaksauce]

The Trails series has been doing very well financially, so Falcom's budget has been increasing a bit. Judging from the previews for Falcom's next Trails game, I think the next Ys game is going to look much more impressive. Especially if they keep it out of any big cities. Oh, and speaking of Trails: it's becoming an action RPG series! Well, sorta. You'll be able to switch between Ys style combat and Trails style combat. At will, between fights. Yeah.

You may or may not know about this, but you gain a lot of Nox points by completing side-quests, you don't even need to grind that much (or at all) if you do that. They also add a lot to the story, characters and overall experience, but that's par for the course.
