Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Gameplay Trailer
Nihon Falcom just released a new trailer of its upcoming JRPG Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, releasing in Japan on July 21st for PS Vita and next year for PS4.
This time around it’s special, as it’s all pure gameplay, and it’s very fast, giving us a glimpse on the pace of the game and on the action-based battle mechanics.
The last Ys title, Memories of Celceta, was released in Japan in 2012 for the PlayStation Vita. Four years later, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is the long-awaited new title for the Ys series. The game takes place in the Goethe Sea, located in southern Greek (the Ys equivalent of our Greece), on the Seiren Island, suspended in the sea’s waters. Adol’s new adventure begins as he travels there to learn about the legends buried underneath those waters. The game will feature a myriad of skills, as well as free-dash and free jump actions. On top of it, Flash Move and Flash Guard will also be making a return. As expected, this game will carry the high-speed action that the Ys series is known for having.
The popular automapping system from Ys Celceta will also be making a return as cartography will once again play a role in the new title. You will seek out drifting villages in the sea and take part in their expansion and development. There will also be campaign battles where you must defend the villages from attacks as well. This new system will bring a new, exciting component to the series.
