few questions for pc version

[ichigo999]

Hi guys Thanks to all responsible for this english patch. Got the game/patch working. Just got a few questions...

Can you play in window mode? I checked the options page and i don't see one....

Is this supposed to be a 4:3 game or 16:9 or both? Sorry i recently bought a ws lcd after using crt for years so i'm still getting used to it.

And are there cheats in this version? Tnx

It's a 4:3 game. Using a widescreen resolution will just stretch the image, and the same happens with every other Falcom game so far

Windowed mode is available, just uncheck the fullscreen option instead (reverse psychology much lol).

Dunno about cheats, I never bother to use them in any game anyway.

Thanks for the reply. Lol this is the first time i've played a Ys game.

Just saw the other icon... lol i was wondering what it was

Btw are the games connected or is it like final fantasy?

[bahamut]

the games are connected, some more, some less, let's say the first two chapter can be considered as one, the third has not so much reference to the others, the fourth has reference to the first two
i haven't played the 5th(since it's only japanese), and i'm gonna play 6th now, so i don't know if they are connected with the others ^^

Thanks

Bit OT... How bout the anime? Does it follow the game(1 and 2?)?

[bahamut]

the first series follow the story Ys I, there are not much difference between anime and game, the second one is a little too short, and is a rearranged version of Ys II, that don't follow the story too closely ^^

however i've liked both of them

[ichigo999]

Ok thanks guys. Guess i'll play this then Oath.

I played Ys Origin before I played 1 and 2. Don't be like me, it ruined a LOT of 1 and 2 for me.

[ichigo999]

^tnx. Thats ok... i have no intention of buying/playing Origins till an english patch is out lol

[ichigo999]

sorry for the double post but i might as well ask it here....

For some reason when i use the magic attack of the 3rd sword(Ericcil?) on a lot of enemies on screen like 10 or something, the game crashes. Has this happened to anyone? I play in a 1024x768 window if that matters. Good thing though is my last save works.... the crashing is probably the reason i don't use it that much especially when i'm leveling up.

And did anyone bother defeating the miniboss in the Ruins of Amnesia? Is it worth it even if you already got the item in the room? By the time i was bout to fight the last bosses, i was level 50 and i think thats already high. According to the walkthrough you need to have atleast 290 str or level 55-60. I didn't bother leveling though since it will probably take a long time...

I think it's worthing for the fun, because the prize isn't all that great (3 capla waters).
I always like to kill the hardest enemy on every game, it's half the fun!

[ichigo999]

lol maybe i'll try it again someday... what level were you? As for the Capla Waters, i didn't use one for the whole game... i think it use for this boss lol...

I was at level 60 with all my swords at max and it was still freakin hard. I don't know what my strength was, but I went through about eight blue potions before I finally killed that sucker.

It doesn't stretch it when I play. I just get black bars on the side.

WTF??? There is a widescreen mode? How did I miss that?
