The only Ys game I have played was Ys III: Wanderers From Ys on Super Nintendo. It was a good Zelda II type of side-scroller, along with manga style scenes. It seemed really cool in the early 90s.
Interesting. I’ve wondered about how that worked for the developers. Now we know. And now I will feel a tinge of guilt when I add a game to my library, but never play it, knowing that Sony had to pay a nice sum for it.
Seems to me that Yoshida may have also been trying to separate FF16 from the prior FF15. FF15 was a modern setting and 3 of the bros (Noct, Prompto, and Gladio) had American accents, while my boy Iggy was the only British lad.
I’m in the shunned FF corner that actually really enjoyed FF15. Not so much as a Final Fantasy game, but as a road-trip with friends, with hints of Final Fantasy flavor mixed in.
I bought NMS at launch on PS4, and admittedly it wasn’t as good as the speculation. However, I did spend a lot of time bouncing from planet to planet, simply for the joy of exploring.
This past weekend I loaded up the PS5 version and the quality of life improvements with the more powerful hardware and the game updates vastly changed the overall experience. It’s still No Man’s Sky, but it’s it’s like a iPhone 3G next to a iPhone 12 Pro. Everything is better, yet recognizable.
@themightyant I feel the same. The overused Car-PG term with Gran Turismo is accurate because it’s a racing game, and a journey. I want to live in this game for a bit and work my way to a garage of cool cars that I am invested in.
I’m not surprised that micro transactions are in the game. I’ve played WoW and FFXIV for years and an online shop is pretty normal. Granted, those shops mostly serve up non play-enhancing items, but I would compare buying cars in GT7 to buying a leveling-skip in FFXIV. Players that earn their way to the top through play will likely know how to race better than the people who buy their way up.
But on the flip-side, if you are a seasoned racer and you see a car that you want down the road, and don’t have the credit, why not have an option to pay for it? A game like this costs many millions of dollars to develop and continue developing. You have to monetize it somehow.

Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
I would like to pay launch price, but we saw what happened with the PS5 itself.
The PSVR2 will be scalped for much more.
Re: Just 70MB of Data Contained on the Modern Warfare 2 Disc
My brother gets 100GB of high speed data per month on his T-Mobile Home Internet. This would be a deal breaker for people like him.
150GB is even a giant chunk out of my 1.2TB cap with Comcast.
Re: Elden Ring's Latest Patch Suggests DLC Maps and Even Ray Tracing Could Be Incoming
I’m probably the only person on the planet who hasn’t played Elden Ring. I’ll get to it eventually.
