The demo was just a short run with combat.

Full game is an RPG with engaging story, lovable characters, tons of exploration, and fun combat.

I strongly believe that won’t be the case. See my post here which explains why that whole thing is almost certainly an error.

Will probably be my next game after Ninja Gaiden Collection, but I'm not even yet done with the first game.

Ys IX on Switch is out in North America tomorrow. I'll be picking up my pre-order at GameStop; I traded in a couple games I no longer needed for a discount. I rarely pre-order, but Falcom games don't seem to have long print runs.

Funny thing is, I haven't played Ys VIII yet. I keep going back and forth between which one I want to play lol. I know there are no connections in the series outside of the first two titles, unlike the Trails games.

@Snaplocket
Same. The tracking said it was supposed to arrive yesterday but it never did, which I think has to do with the holiday.

I have the Ys VIII Switch Collector Edition, and both Trails of Cold Steel III and Trails of Cold Steel IV Collector Editions. I really love the Falcom CE’s released by NIS. I forget if this one has a steelbook though.

@Tyranexx
Is it tomorrow? And here I thought I was going to be getting the game early. For some reason I thought it was Friday alongside MH Stories 2.

@JaxonH IIRC, Ys IX doesn't release in Europe until Friday, so that could be where your wires crossed. A quick Google search also shows that poor Australia has to wait until July 16th. Competing with Monster Hunter Stories 2 in the same week is insane enough, but with Skyward Sword? Crazy!

But if you had ordered physical from Nisa's Europe store, you'd probably get the game a few days early, @Tyranexx .... All my games from them came between 1 day before release & a week early!

No, @Balta666 .... It unlocks at 5/6 pm? You thinking of PS4?

Sadly not, @Balta666 .... The Steam release is worldwide today! They announced that along with the dates for the Switch one, too! 4 hours to go

@BruceCM After import fees, it wouldn't have been worth it in my case. I've not yet been blessed with receiving a game before launch! Though to be fair I rarely pre-order anything lol.

I'm only an hour into the game and I must say that I like this soundtrack more the VIII's. A bit more moody, a bit less vibrant. It really suits the prison-like atmosphere of the town. Good stuff.

So which one is honestly the better game? Is it Ys VIII or IX?

@Zeldafan79 I've finished both, Ys VIII is slightly better overall but it's really close. Ys VIII would be 92/100, Ys IX would be a 91.

Ys IX
+Larger areas to explore
+New movement abilities are great
+Graphics are better
+Dungeons are more fun
+Lots of call backs to previous games
-Some party members are a bit annoying
-Sometimes there are too many enemies on screen.
-Music not quite as catchy
