Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana - Final Bosses and True Ending (Inferno Mode)

[@rope435]

I will never forget my time with this game. Building memories and friendships with everyone in Castaway Village. Adventuring, getting closer, and exploring and uncovering the secrets of the Isle of Seiren. Learning the fate of the Eternian's and the endless cycle of destruction and evolution. Challenging the very concept of evolution itself, thwarting its plans, and eventually parting ways, with everyone returning to their lives as if it had never happened. If there's one thing I personally took away from this diamond of a game, It's that sometimes the journey is way better than the destination, no matter the situation you're currently in. Love and cherish those closest to you, because everyone walks a different path in life, and yours may not cross forever. So enjoy the time you spend together, and never forget the memories you've shared.

This game was a really joy to see. I'll be honest the beginning didn't grab my attetion but when the story pick up it became something that I needed to pay attetion all the way through. this game is a gem.

[@marktaylor4603]

But again no one is in his next Adventure from the Girls, is sad that no one travels with him, no matter what they do in the next Adeventure fight with him or do other things, only Dogi is in and he has ever a other Job in the Adventure.

[@filipinowhiteboy]

hahaha I suppose so. I'll say this though, Dana beats Fenna and Reah by a country wide mile

[@suntzu4607]

Yeah but Dana’s still the best. In Ys X however, he will only have 1 potential waifu and it’s his partner for the whole game, who has an orange hair.

[@samflood5631]

If Dana does reincarnate into a mortal human with blue hair, maybe Adol will end up marrying her. Or maybe he'll marry some other girl he just met in either YS 11 or 12.

[@lam1nat0r1]

So all of this could've been avoided if Maia had her morning coffee? Dana's ending is very much a bittersweet one. She's finally attained peace, but again gets separated from everybody she cares for. At least now we know why it's called the Lacrimosa of Dana. Great game through and through!

[@dwarfrunes9072]

I agree a good and beautifully game

[@vinnythen00b]

This is one of the few video games where I was legitimately attached to the heroine. Really great characters. I hope they do something with Dana in a future Ys game, though I'm not sure what.

[@zura8879]

Well...she atleast gets to be with "Sarai" I guess? I would certainly like to see her make a cameo in a future Ys game, but I imagine they went with the Goddess route in order to write her out for future entries, sadly.

[@Nightstriker995]

This is one of the best final boss themes I have ever heard once again the Ys series dosen't fail to impress me with its fantastic music :)

[@gurogamarduk906]

Took being a goddess of evolution to make Dana wear more clothes... Was an enjoyable game but kind of a pity that the other castaways didn't bring much to the story. Never forget Master Kong! T_T

[@Tea_Noire]

All the Eternians prob would've survived the Lacrimosa if they just wore some more clothes smh

[@zura8879]

I liked that the other Castaways just had their own little story instead, makes it easier to develop them while keeping the story more focused on Dana and Co.

[@YhelloWish]

SKWA...

[@JamesTheTurnbull]

Truly one of the more saddening Ys games. But definitely one with the most plot so far. Loved the ride......only gripe was chap 2 felt a bit pointless except for expressing the "balances of the world" philosophy. That it needs good and evil and all that jazz. While the lacrimosa and the protectors are not evil by any means, they proved that the harsh truths of it keep the equilibrium. That even in beating that truth, doesn't stop it.

[@crozraven]

Adol literally destroyed reality, forced a goddess to make a new world in saving it & all he got is a hug LOL But for real, great game & good true ending. I hope next Ys should up the graphics though, for an actual main platform series.

[@renjiabarai8470]

sadly i doubt it will happen ys series is just not a AAA game, and it reflected to the overall sales which isn't impressive. so we might not see that kind of improvement

[@ViperDivinity]

[@waleed03231]

Just finished the game and got the true ending. I found it to be very bittersweet. Every one leaves the island and return to their normal lives, but Dana becoming the Goddess of Evolution and not being able to join them felt kind of heart-wrenching for some reason. At least the good thing is she didn't stay dead or forgotten thankfully, and that she'll always continue to watch over everything, and everyone. But all in all, I am glad to have played this game, and I loved every bit of it!!!! The Ys series never disappoints!!!!!

[@nnnemozu]

I guess this time around Adol caused reality to crash instead of a ship lol

[@TulioAlfonsoCastilloVillarreal]

Omega, thank you so much for this series of videos. I want to confess Ys is one of my favourite franchises in the video games, and I hope someday I'll purchase a copy of this and more games when finally get a "Monster PC" (hee hee). Some rumors say that we will play a game called "Ys: The After Days", with a bearded and a little bit old Adol, having a son called Aron, and sharing a new adventure the two of them, meeting again most of the allies Adol met in the other Ys games, and more...

the fact that the true final boss was not to save the world, defeat evil bs but just for a chance to see a precious friend once again... the song, A-to-Z is also beautiful. the title (propably) means "the start and the end" of the adventure adol had went though. when dana had a scarlet vision, she already knew it would end like this. like everything happened just to arrive at this point is just summarized by the song. it was a beautiful game. not the beast graphics but definitely a great story.

[@pacemmoribus8233]

Thanks for playing this game Omega, it was really enjoyable to watch :) I'm a big fan of the Ys series, and I don't know why but I always find it funny how easy you make the games look. I think Ys VIII has to definitely be one of the saddest games in the series if you consider all the suffering and struggles Dana went through (and don't get me started on that pirate crew of former slaves, the Eternians, Protectors, etc.)... and the fact you almost destroyed the world in an effort to screw destiny and save humanity. Anyway, what was your favorite part of the game? Least favorite? What did you think about the last reveals (that Dana became a goddess, and the Ys world is pretty much Maia's "dream")? Are you going to do that extra dungeon you unlock after completing the game? Thanks again for the experience!
