Had only played 1 or 2 older Ys games before when I bought on sale and played Ys VIII on Switch about a year ago. Ended up enjoying it for the most part for a pretty good while, but ultimately ran out of gas. Although I remember it running well, some of the graphics weren't great. I understand that it was a port. If the PS5 version gets a major graphical overhaul, may consider it again ... when I finally own a PS5.
Looks decent, but is running with both arms back a thing now? Seem to remember seeing that in a video from Shin Megami Tensei V, which I didn't play. Looks a bit goofy IMO.
@KundaliniRising333 I actually agree with you. Atelier Ryza on the Switch was my first Atelier game. I enjoyed most of the gameplay systems and probably got 3/4 through it before I hit a wall, but the sexualization aspect definitely detracted from the game. And in the photo above the outfit on the girl looking at the tree is kind of ridiculous. Will probably pass on this, which otherwise sounds like a decent game.
And long as there is a market for objectification, businesses and consumers will rationalize. But given how many tech companies are in the news these days for sexual misconduct, possibly it will change. Not holding my breath, but we can vote with our dollars.
If the game reviews well and the price is right, I might give it a go. But I would be more interested if it was '16(or more)-bit Adventures'. To each our own. If the game does well, maybe part 3.
Like others, the card aspect was initially off putting, as I am not into deck building games. After reading this article, I played the demo on Switch and enjoyed it. Hopefully reviews are good and price is right.

Re: From Triangle Strategy to The DioField Chronicle, Square Enix Never Changes
That trailer begs the question "Can't we all just get along?".
Game has potential IMO. Just now playing (and enjoying) Fire Emblem: TH on Switch, and am interested in Triangle Strategy.
Maybe by the time this game comes out I will actually be able to buy a PS5.

Re: PlayStation Japan Serves Up a Buffet of Brilliant PS5 Games
Probably a better chance of getting the food delivered from Japan than a PS5.

Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Grabs Physical Version in November
Definitely interested in this game, although I don't own a PS5 yet. But have we learned nothing from Baldo? Wait for the reviews.
