I’m almost at the end of chapter 2 now. Man, it’s a long one! I took a butt load of screenshots. ^^; What you’ll see under the cut is just a fraction. ^^;; I’ll highlight some and make a gallery out of the rest. 😀 Continue reading “Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Chapter 2 Screenshot Dump Part 1”

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Impressions & Information

I’ve been checking my EMS tracking number for the package multiple times last week. XD Ys VIII finally came into my hands yesterday~! It was pre-ordered directly from Falcom so it came with some bonuses (like usual) along with the box set itself:

Ys VIII - Limited Premium Box with Other Goodies
😀 It came with a Dengeki special magazine featuring Ys VIII and Tokyo Xanadu eX+, Ys VIII mini soundtrack CD, and a Falcom 35th Anniversary metal book plate. The design of it has Feena holding on to the Black Pearl like on the title screen of Ys I.

Of course, I took photos of the box’s contents too. :3

Ys VIII - Limited Premium Box Contents
The game, Adol’s codex/journal, DLC code for Adol’s Silver Armor, and a metal die-cut book plate of Dana.

I’ve been pretty excited about the game and when I loaded it up, I was immediately blown away by the title menu screen.

So gorgeous! *____*

Hopefully, Falcom will make a desktop wallpaper out of that stunning illustration. I’ve repeatedly noted on Twitter that I adore the artwork for this game. Where was this illustrator all this time!? And there’s no name anywhere on the promotional material. 😦 I guess I’ll see it in the credits.

At least, I hope so (because I want to search online to see if I can find more of the artist’s works. ^^),

About the game itself — I’ll TRY and keep it brief. No guarantees. XD Continue reading “Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Impressions & Information”
