Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana is only a couple of months away from its long-awaited debut on Nintendo Switch (and when we say 'long' we mean it, since it's been out on PS Vita in Japan for almost two years), so to celebrate, NIS America has released a brand new trailer.
This one is all about red-headed man of the hour Adol Christin, the heroic adventurer at the heart of the Ys VIII story. You'll also get a glimpse at the plush Adventurer Edition, which you can pre-order today. It includes a physical copy the game, a doubled-sided map, three collectible cards and a reversible cover.
Let us know what you make of the trailer and whether or not you'll be adding this handheld adventure to your Switch library in the summer...

I want this.
Day 1 for me! Love Ys and Falcom. Also want to see the Legend of Heroes series on the Switch!
I've never played a Ys game somehow, but have pre-ordered this one to give the series a chance. I've heard a lot of conflicting reviews - some people say it's mediocre some say it's excellent.
Played the demo on PS4 and enjoyed it. Will be a day one purchase because I love me some rpgs.
Really looking forward to this, will be supporting from day 1.
Played a little bit of this on the Vita, I'm presuming that's the version that will be ported to the switch, not the PS4 version?
Edit. Double post.
I already have it preordered. Can’t wait to get this game.
I've never played an Ys game, but this game looks fun. I pre-ordered it and I'm excited!
Something like 8 seconds of gameplay in the video. It is still a game I am considering, but I need to know more about it - probably wait for a review.
I played Ys Books 1&2 on the Virtual Console for Wii and enjoyed that, so I'm optimistic about this. I doubt it will be as good as XC2, but I shall see.
@Heavyarms55 There are already reviews for the PS4 and PSVita versions if you care to look at those, I doubt the Switch version will be that different from those
Love Ys and got quite a number of games in the series including Ys Vanished Omen on the Master System!
I really enjoyed the game on PS4 (and that was with the inferior original localization). The combat is simple but challenging. The story is linear, but there's plenty of opportunity for exploration. Switch owners are in for a treat.
I spent about 55 hours on this game on this game on PS4 and pre-ordered the Switch Special Edition from NIS store. Such a great game and I'm glad more people will get to play it.
There are really only 2 thing you need to know about Adol:
1. He has red hair.
2. If you are about to take a trip by boat and you see him get on, immediately exit the boat. Cuz that sucker's going down.
