Ys on-line and future Ys games

[GS]

I have seen some screen-shots of Ys on-line and it looks like a full 3D third person MMORPG.
Will future Ys game be made in this style or will the series end with the on-line game?
Because usually that’s what happens.

Not a chance. Falcom is in no way affiliated with the Ys Online project.

ultima onlin is one

Will future series games be on consoles or will it stay on PC,
and will they ever change the games engine to full 3D?

I'd say it's unfair to classify Ultima as close to dead when UO came out. Really, there was still a pretty vibrant storyline, and things Lord British wanted to do. However, the fact that Origins was bought out EA more or less killed Ultima, as they demanded the studio become more and more devoted to OU, and shortchanged most of the non-UO games to come out since then; especially the last one.

I do want Warcraft 4, though =[

Anyways, Seldane has the right of it, Falcom's not involved in Ys Online, and I doubt it can be considered canonical. From what I see, Falcom seems to like to keep it oldschool, which is fine with me.

I don't see Falcom being a developer that'll be taking Ys into bigger things any time soon. "large budget of an epic proportion" is not something that goes well with them, that's for sure. They're going to be working around the same engine and will stick to PC, and I don't think i'd want it any other way.

Did anyone even say anything against a Warcraft 4? I sort of assumed one would roll out eventually. No interest in WoW, but I loved WC3.

The trouble with a Warcraft 4 is that it would have to be contigious with WoW, since the occupy the same world and such.

I suspect that if Warcraft 4 does come about, it will working in a lot of the events from WoW; like the Silithid Invasion.
