@x_puppetmaster @Stealth40k 2027 is the 40th anniversary of Ys so they'll probably do something for it, there were 3 years between 8 and 9 and 4 years between 9 and 10 so the development time approximately matches up (disregarding Proud).

@Stealth40k Having bought trails, and being a massive ys fan, im happy for falcom they have amazing gameplay it's just i wish ys was their big seller. I loved proud nordics (already had vanilla) ill be grabbing trails 2 but hope we see ys 11 soon

Falcom announced a 1,227% year-on-year operating profit increase due to strong overseas sales of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The full year profit forecast was increased 69.2%. Kyoto Xanadu & Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter are still planned for 2026. automaton-media.com/en/news/nihon-…

@JustCzahh @KaniMilks The age of consent has been 16 or 18 in every single prefecture since ~2000, higher than most european countries. I fail to see how broadening the definitions of SA based on criminal cases is a bad thing. Underreporting is a flawed statistic and tends to fluctuate study-to-study.

@KaniMilks Japan's age of consent was 13 up until 2023, where became 16 Its definitions of SA & Rape only caught up in the last decade Japan's SA & rape report rates, based on research, are 5-10%, while the UK's is 15-20%. This is because Japan has a more stigmatized culture than the UK

Kiwi Farms users do not understand crime statistics. Fun fact: You would have to inflate sex crime statistics in japan almost 50x for it to match the U.K alone. This is not mathematically probable. Japan, even if all reporting was magically accurate, would still have less crime

@tasogarenoudewa I'm not that far into the Ys series but from what I've seen (partially due to the current internal reference timeline being made after the sixth game + the existance of remakes) chronological order is pretty much encouraged

has there ever been any series where the solution to "what order do i play this in" was ever "chronological order" because genuinely i feel like it always has and always will be "release order"

@Michaelgrosber2 @ZyMazza

@ZyMazza Is it little Richard rather than big Richard that's doing the thinking?

"Claudia" and not Claude is a huge tell about the specific kind of failure mode happening here

@ceyarma_ I haven't finished Ys 2 but playing origin first definitely impacted how I viewed 1 and 2 so far. I imagine it would have somewhat the same effect the other way around.

its that time again, what should i play/continue next

"AI is just a tool, why do math when you have calculators" Calculator: 10-4=6 Ai: If John has 10 apples and he shares 4 with James how many apples does John have? DONT account for other friends John has, assume John only has 10 apples and no additional apples in his bag, and don't account for any additional apples James may have. This is the problem with AI, Tools need to have a function they specialize in and it needs to do the job in a simple and easy to use way. No one wants to gamble with a dumb robot when doing professional work.

@dubjay3k Do you have to read Nukitashi first or can you go straight into it?

Hentai Prison is one of the most moving works I’ve experienced in any medium, and it made me re-evaluate the way I see my own artistic output and helped me reconcile things that I’ve been struggling with for a long time as a creative. Unfortunately, it’s called “Hentai Prison.”

Unfortunately, a lot of the best examples of games as art are eroge, which makes it even harder for the kind of people who would ask a question like this to take you seriously.
