^I wonder if you took Falcom's style in terms of workflow and applied it to Square-Enix's lack thereof if it'd help them finally make some good money.
It's been, whoooo man, years since I actually posted here. In the time since last being here I've been homeless, flown around the world and got drunk with Suda. Its been a wild ride, and now I'm back to lurking here.

Nah, just put Falcom to work on those titles, SE's prized stuff for good games are working on their leisure for actual quality titles every two years or so, though saddly most either stay in Japan or just don't have the reception SE wanted in the west. Played some Ys Vs SNK...if only we could have a sequel with more ED characters...and Ys ones of course.

I am in my own apartment, kind of. Spent the past week working on the shed in the backyard to make it liveable. Half-worked. I have electricity(dropcord 'till I figure out how to get the existing electric line in this thing working), running water (kind of, water cooler), but most importantly? Fucking QUIET AND SOLITUDE mostly.

I'm so sick I shouldn't be able to function much less work, but somehow I'm making really good progress on Beatdown City.

Wonder if we'll ever see a Brandish OVA...would be pretty cool. Or if Falcom / the studio that worked with Falcom would ever go back to make Ys 3 OVA.
All that sun after the rain over here is pretty suspicions, especially since gray clouds have going back and forth all morning...

Had myself a bit of a Rocky marathon the past 2 days, Rocky I, II, & III, tomorrow will be Rocky taking on the Russian Ivan Drago. I choose not to include Rocky V in my collection as I remember it just being a very bad, uninspiring movie, I like to pretend it never existed. Then comes the final in the series, Rocky Balboa.

Wonder if Falcom will ever give in the Hunting game crazyness that some big name devs are giving in...Ys VIII : The Hunt for Shuralfos! XD Your skills, weapon and armour depend on the materials gathered by the felled monsters.

Oh, man...Falcom should release Ys : The Ark of Napishtim [We're sorry on KONAMI's behalf] / [Actual Port] edition for the PSP...after returning from Ys Oath and Ys 7, this is torture...I may have to get the PC version to even be at peace.

It's not that bad. Of course PS2 and PC version are better than PSP, they have better graphics and better control, but PSP version has some extras! Which are: 1) 4 Additional Items, 3 of them replace one of the effects of "Wing of Alma". 2) New Trials, they are more challenging and kinda funny(in my opinion). Also you can level-up faster, since the prizes are Gold, Emelas and one level! 3) Character Database, where you can see and learn something about all characters of the game(Humans, Rehdas, Bosses and Enemies). 4) Media Player(that's my favorite one), you have to unlock them first, but you can play all soundtracks of the game and 8 movies. They are enough, don't you think?

Coming from the other Ys games and generally other PSP games...no. Sorry to say, but KONAMI screed the pooch with this port. Majorly. The loading times, I can bear but the camera, the sprites and the speed of the game are so gamebreaking and slow it actually causes problems in the gameplay department, no kidding. I lost 3 times in Napishtim just because the game couldn't register how fast I was changin weapons, while attacking, moving and jumping at the same time to avoid lasers. The character database and music player are pretty good but the port is so broken it actually hurts. Hell, now that I popped the game in the other day, I understood / remembered why its my least favourite Ys game as far as gameplay goes. And then I go to yt, like the idiot I am and watch Vercase's Ernst and Napishtim run...I almost felt sick just looking at the PSP version of the game. On the other hand, it is one of the most important Falcom games for the PSP because it taught them the lesson of "do it yourself since the others will butcher it beyond hell", so...brownie points I guess.

I think you are overreacting. Yes, there a couple of bugs, like when you are getting in & out of houses and when you are fighting many monsters the game slows down, but it's still playable and you can have fun. I played PSP & PS2 versions, first PSP version and later PS2 version, the only reason why I played them both is because PS2 has voice acting. If PSP version had voice acting I wouldn't play PS2 version.

If PSP version had voice acting I wouldn't play PS2 version. You also mentioned better controls in the other versions and I mentioned it as well. Here's the thing, like I said before, I first finished it years ago and when it's now that I came back to it that I found how horribly botched this port is for a good deal of mechanical reasons. If this were any other game, I probably wouldn't care as much but the Ys series are pretty hardcore game that rely on skill and twitch reflexes. Guess how fun they are when this is taken away due to slowdowns and glitches. That's my beef with this port. Personally, I'll go with the version that runs great and has no technical issues, even if it costs things like voice acting etc. As for fun to be had...I guess...I did enjoy it at first when I got it but by the end I dropped it...it was due to the feeling of that nostalgic fun that I decided to pick it up again. And it's a shame since the on-the-fly sword switching is pretty good as an idea. PS : If Ys V could be remade with the Celceta engine but feature both Ys Ark's sword changing gimmick and Ys Oath's magic changing gimmick with both the shoulder buttons...to mix and match sword type and elements...it would be really awesome! It would be DMC4 on Ys...plus we get to use the Ys swordcrafting forumla again to enhance the sword types again.

I understand, I just don't want people to have a very bad impression about PSP version, that's all

What's really missing from the PSP? True Dragon Slayer remakes...one can (could more likely now) dream.
