For anyone new to the Ys series and interested: You can pick up at any game. Even if the protagonist is the same character trough the mainline games, each of them has it's own contained story and set of characters that doesn't absolutely require you to play what came before.

[@matthewmuir8884]

With the sole exception of Ys Origin, which has three characters as the protagonists, none of whom are the series protagonist due to the game taking place hundreds of years in the series' past, and while the story mostly stands on its own, it has many call-forwards to the first two games that are lost on anyone who hasn't played the first two games.

[@Keinish79]

I was wondering about that exactly. I am gald this answer is at the top of the comments.

[@Sergeantmajormario]

Ehhhh... Monstrum Nox kinda assumes you've played the other Ys games

[@GamingTranceSeer]

Start with 8

[@DarkLink1996.]

And for those that do play the old games, don't be too confused by there being three Ys 4s.

[@soupaplayer5012]

@@vshadowlancev8107yeah. (Spoilers) they had so many great metroidvania-esque powerups for moving/exploration, but they only had like 2 dungeons designs that took the full advantage of the mobility. The other half of the dungeons look open, but still lead you in a straight line. Obviously there must be a single correct route for story’s sake, but I wish they’d let us find it out ourselves like they did in the cloaca maxima and (kind of) in Emain Macha dungeons instead of leading us in a straight line. Takes more budget and money though, and they clearly don’t have much of it. Still excited for Ys X and will buy day 1 but my expectations waned especially if they are still strapped for cash. They had so many great ideas in 9 that clearly weren’t able to be fleshed out as much, potentially due to lack of manpower/budget.

[@excadrillo99]

I'll ask anyone watching to try the Ys series, probably one of the best action RPGs out there

[@Drewtendo]

I got into them with 8. Such a great series!

[@69sparker]

Agreed. I can't wait for this

[@richardmorgan3665]

Agreed, I love really like the combat in the games, chaining flash guards to become invincible and do big damage is so fun. I loved Ys 8, but I think might like Ys 9 more thanks to the great combat and traversal options, I love a game with fast and fun traversal options.

[@donstarlancer]

Pretty much the OG action RPG. Glad it's been on fire lately. I have to catch up. 7 is next on my list to play and I already own 8 as well.

[@jamesrule1338]

I started with Ys 1 on the Sega Master System. It was my Legend of Zelda growing up.

[@teddyj9482]

Wait, is Adol talking?

He's not a mute, but yeah, it looks like he might talk during cutscenes in this one. Unless the lines are pulled from battle cries like he has in the other games.

@@Drewtendo I could be wrong, but I believe it was him talking at the beginning of the trailer during his “spotlight” moment. Also yes, I know he is not a mute. I was referring to his status as a silent protagonist.

Bro I play this series since psp man us lacrimosa of Dana was goat, the group truly feels like family

[@brokensprites]

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim was my jam, that game had old school graphics for PS2, but the controls were perfect... The increasing difficulty was just right and it left a great impression. I've played the previous games through emulation and Ys 5 for the SNES is a personal favorite, PC Engine 4 was good too ... 3 was difficult right away and Ys book 1&2 were awkward combat.... PSP had some solid Ys games and it's nice to see this franchise is still going... The Red Haired Adol strikes again!

I only saw cinematics or cutscenes. I need a gameplay trailer.
