This was my first ever exposure to the Ys series, but thankfully the story is self contained to this game. Speaking of the story, the story was quite enjoyable, and as a Norwegian I can appreciate a lot of the inspiration and themes from Viking culture. Though I gotta say that some of the names of the other in-universe countries made me chuckle, "Ispania" and "Danmerk" being some of them. The only real negaitive I can say is that the game feels a bit limited in the begining, but it opens up more later. All in all, it's not a super huge game, but the gameplay and story is quite enjoyable. It's worthwhile to check out if you're already interested
I finally came around playing this one. It is clear what they're trying to do: the recreation of YS 8, probably one of the best action games I've ever played. They succeeded for the most part. YS games have an unique charm to them where you truly feel like you're going on an adventure. The music, the places, the characters, atmosphere - everything comes together into giving you that adventurous spirit the game is trying to sell you. That's about it, in things it has in common with YS 8, because the combat has taken a few steps back. I played on Inferno, and this is not a particularly hard game because the guard mechanic is broken. You can guard and perfect guard with ease, with no punishment so most of the time you're gonna spam R2 like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ attempting to get the perfect guard. That's literally all you do, whereas in YS8 if you missed your parry timing, you'd get punished. They also removed the dodge mechanic from YS8 & 9, where you would slow time down if done perfectly. What? This is such a retarded change, because you only have guard. "Blue attacks" can be dodged by running into them (?) and you get some upgraded attack slash that lasts 1 hit...Extremely retarded to erase one of the core mechanics of the series like that, not even trying to give us something better or equally good. That's why the combat is by far the worst part of this game. If YS 8 is a 10, then this game is a 7, all because of the combat. After 50 hours of playing Nordics, the combat was taking its toll on me because it started to become stale, boring and mindless. To put that into perspective, I've put 100h in YS 8 and never had that feeling. To make up for the dumbing down of the combat, this game has a cross system with the other main character: Karja. She's well written and a really good female character, I have nothing to complain about. You can switch them on the fly in combat, each has its own skills and they also can use duo skills, where they combine their ice and fire magic/powers to deal massive dmg. It's a novel idea, I never seen it in another game, but I dont think it's better than YS8 and 9. Is interesting, but due to there not being any punishment for guarding and no dodge mechanic, the whole combat situation makes it feel retarded. I'll say it again, you'll spam R2 like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the whole game. The window for parries is also insanely forgiving, even on inferno. Story is serviceable, is good enough to keep you wanting to know where it goes. Being a modern Falcom game, I must comment on this, because is an unforgivable sin of their modern videogame design. This whole game is about adventure and EXPLORATION, but if everything is marked on the map, then what's the point of the whole exploration aspect? It mitigates itself. IF YOUR IN GAME MECHANIC NULLIFIES YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY, THEN YOU'VE ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UP. YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UP. YOU NEED TO STOP. YOU MUST STOP DOING THIS. YOU MUST STOP HOLDING THE HAND OF THE PLAYER WITH MARKERS, YOU NEED TO STOP, BRO. Jesus Christ, they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up all their games because of these markers, and that's hardly an opinion. Nordics also has DLC. I've looked up what it adds and what? Why is Falcom doing this? All you get is a new Island, which is apparently huge, 2 new characters that expand the lore of the game, some new skills, new stone-type for your upgrades. That's fine, but why cant I buy this DLC on the normal version, which I have. I have to buy the entire game again. That's retarded, there's no upgrade path. If you don't own this already, buy the Proud version, otherwise is not worth re-buying the game. Most of the negative reviews are about this btw. Stop with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ markers.
YS will always be a fantastic experience. Had a few issues with colors in the game, nothing that would stop me to finish it. Somewhat of a slow start compared to other YS's, but once the mechanics catch up, the game even ends a little to fast. All in all, if you are reading this review your are purchasing the wrong game. Make sure to purchase Proud Nordics and not this version.
