Super excited! My Ys Origin Limited Run Collector's Edition arrived today! You can expect me to stream the PS4 version of the game soon, right after I finish Ys: Memories of Celceta on stream.

#YsOrigin update

Khonsclard is kicking my butt
I never got good at beating it, even with Yunica
but somehow Hugo might actually b worse at this, surprisingly

more #YsOrigin (Hugo, Hard)

I was able to beat Nygtilger first try because I've basically practiced Nygtilger a million times while playing as Yunica. knew its pattern like the back of my hand. Charged trap mines hit it when it's on the tower, so I ironically didn't even do much damage to it while it was on the ground but two rounds of aerial trap mines did most of the work and got it to only the head left...though at that point it decided it wanted to do *three* rather than the usual *two* spins. Still, it was relatively easy to go after the newly-vulnerable head at that point.

Gelaldy, on the other hand, nope. I almost know its pattern, and Hugo has an easier time than Yunica thanks to having a nice ranged attack, but its attacks are little less predictable, and I still have not figured out what triggers and how to dodge the downward fist slam aimed at my position. First half of the fight is easier, of course, but the second half is just messy. Also, it seems that none of my spells are all that useful -- the game seems to cancel my regular attack damage when a spell is hitting the boss, and I get higher DPS from my regular attack. I can maybe use trap mine to start doing damage a tiny bit sooner when Gelaldy bites down on the ring, but this time save doesn't yet seem worth the focus needed to pull it off.

1. #MegaMan6, to represent the polished pinnacle of the #NES era

2. #HocusPocus, to do likewise for classic #DOSgames

3. #YoshisIsland, to represent finely-crafted gameplay packaged with a beautiful audiovisual presentation

4 & 5. #SuperMarioRPG and #ChronoTrigger, to represent classic #JRPGs, capable of delivering all sorts of narratives -- the lighthearted, the heartwarming, the serious, the heroic, and the tragic

6. #CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight, to represent the joy of exploration and all the intricately detailed game worlds out there, in the #metroidvania genre and beyond

7. #YsOrigin, to represent the brilliance of more recent #JRPGs, as well as the musical and storytelling genius of #Falcom games

8. #Dragondot3, to remind us that even seemingly simple little games can be fun and full of heart

9 & 10. #Timespinner
#PhoenotopiaAwakening, to represent the great games that continue tradition in both style and substance

Been doing more #gaming than #anime watching lately.

I'm up to the Guilty Fire now in #YsOrigin. That's the third of like seven or eight areas if I recall correctly. I'm replaying as Yunica on hard difficulty; gonna play Hugo and [spoiler third character] later.

I remember the regular enemies just being mostly XP and SP fodder on normal, but on Hard, I genuinely do have to watch my back against even the trash mobs. Ironically, the bosses, which were each epic encounters when I first played, are somewhat less epic now because I fought them a ton on Time Attack back in the day (including on Nightmare difficulty) and so I know their patterns already.

I last played #YsOrigin years ago and only played Yunica's route. Wondering whether I want to replay it first or play Hugo's route first. Or for that matter, the third character's.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I drew this for omgfloofy on IG for a Christmas stream, based on joking around that Yunica is Saint Yunica (St Nick???) And then i imagined her as St Lucia (a holiday Kirsten in the American Girls books celebrates in winter) So here you have it!
I've honestly been really busy this week getting ready for family stuff but i hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate! ❤️🎉🙏

A cute chibi Yunica from Ys Origins. She has her hands clasped like she is praying, and on her head is the wreath and candles worn in celebration of Saint Lucia.

Funny observation of the moment:

the string "Dog Days Original Soundtrack" contains the string "Ys Origin" (when not accounting for capitalization).

(#YsOrigin is a game; #DogDays is an anime series.)
