Why You Should Play Ys VI The Ark of Napishtim

Now I have played all the Napishtim system Ys games ending with the namesake for that gameplay style. I can't believe how far through the series I've gotten over this year, although any other games are on pause now that Cold Steel 4 is here.

Love this channel so much!! Can't wait to play the Ys games

I just finished the game in nightmare catastrophe dificulty and you pretty much nailed it, I must say that exploring in this game feels great and dungeons can feel very unique, you cant really tell when you are going to hit the end or if your going the right way, also you need to respect the dungeon and dont go in to quickly since it can kick your ass if you do, grinding, temepering and exploring other areas might be necesary in order to gain more power, it felt great to come back to a dificult area and be able to fight back, very uniquie feeling this game has, the quality of the game is exceptional, in nightmare dificulty, bosses more than skill require an strategy, once you find the strategy to beat them they are not really that hard, you do require certain power in order to make a fight duable, otherwise you can get stuck in a infinite battle. Oath bosses required strategy as well but they required you to get very good at the game. Thanks for the review, hope this rant can help you improve your understanding of this game.

This one is definitely rough around the edges but I also liked the characters, the island setting and the soundtrack. The (Japanese!) opening cinematic is one of my favourite Ys openings and it's a title with much lore. Overall a recommendation for every fan, but I would recommend to play them in release order as this game really is a step back gameplay-wise compared to its successors. Oh and I love the artstyle of this era of Falcom as well, Ys Seven was kind of a letdown for me. Hopefully we'll see a physical PS4 release of Napishtim and Felghana someday...
Thank you for your efforts and this great new video! :-)

I just beat this yesterday, it was harder than expected on hard difficulty. But the final boss was very very with a cool peaceful theme.

I've finally reached Ark of Napishtim! Gotta say, after beating the first boss, compared to Oath, being able to heal during a boss fight makes the fight infinitely more manageable than Oath. Still love Oath the most but I'm so excited to play my second Napishtim engine game! I do enjoy the Napishtim engine much more than Seven and Celceta's party system.

I DID play it. In fact I beat it. This game drags in the middle, like a lot, but overall I liked it very much.

I started the game today. I'm playing the PSP version. It's my 3rd Ys game. I have previously beaten Memories of Celceta and Oath in Felghana.

I'm disappointed in the bad framerate in this version so far. But I'll try and put up with it. If it gets out of hand then I'll see if I can obtain a copy of the PS2 version.

Funny enough, the reason i played Ys VI is because Geis.
So before i played Ys VI, the first Ys game i played was Ys Seven (actually it was Ys Origins, but it's not Adol's story).
During my playthrough of Ys Seven, Geis actually became my favourite character in the game, so when i search more about him on google, that's when i found out he also appears in previous installment (Ys VI)

Hi Commrio! I just noticed you put this out, which means I must have somehow missed your Oath in Felghana video (rip Youtube algorithm). At any rate, I'm glad to see you've tried out Ys 6! It's the only one I ever played as a kid on the ps2. Couple notes if anyone wants to play this, if you don't play it on steam, you may end up with a version where the useful wing of alma only teleports you to the plains, which probably makes the game 3-5 extra hours due solely to travel time. I also strongly recommend using catastrophe mode before upping it to hard because taking away healing items makes it significantly more challenging. Also Rio, in case you were wondering who Terra is, I recently finished the entire series, and discovered she is from Ys 5. I don't really recommend Ys 5 though even if you like emulators, it wasn't really that good of a game. Ys 6 on the other hand, was very good and I look forward to your review of 7 sometime after you finish Trails of Cold Steel 4! I've never played that series, but I know my roommate was also incredibly hyped for it. Have a great day :)

Ys 6 on the psp made me quit back then because of the reaaaaly long loading times each area change, especially if I was just backtracking to the village, it takes the game longer to load the small snippets of areas than to actually cross the area being loaded


Though I'll try the pc version

[shallbeknown]

I played the psp version and I couldn’t warp, and the dash jump was easy to use

[ObscureShadeMJ]

I was watching this with the idea of showing it to a friend, but there seems to be a fair few spoilers in it, so I don't think I'll do that. This goes as a warning to others who haven't played it yet either. It tells you a bit "too" much about the game. Sorry.

[Veo]

I'm considering playing this one after I beat Oath in Felghana. I may skip over to Ys 7 though, even though this one canonically takes place before Ys 7.

[maziio]

For some reason, i cant find myself to like this one as much as the others, i wont say its like the black sheep of the series, but idk, played this after Chronicles and before Oath,
Its a weird one for me, the story is pretty entertaining tho

[respawin]

Have you started playing Ys 7 yet? Can't wait for your video on it and Ys 8. Do you think you will make a video like this on Ys 9 in the future too?

[Evilriku]

But u could teleport in Ys 6 too, or am I mistaken? It's been a while since I played the PS2 version of it.

[twotwo]

Man, the pc one is inferior than the ps2.
