Yes, all of the extra program stuff is included.

came for the steam achievements.
Awesome. Gives another reason to double dip.
Just the idea of the removal (or temporary absence really) of an iconic character is reason enough to skip on a game whether or not it's amazing.
And $20, yeah, figured it'd be more expensive than Oath but this seems a price most of us can be happy with. Though I could've paid fully with my Steam credit if I didn't get Dear Esther, but that's a ridiculously minor issue.

Luckily I have $25 in my steam wallet. Can't wait to play it.

what kind of notable jrpg will you compare this to?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Secret of Mana on crack. With better music.

I'm so pumped for this. Xseed is a godsend.
Pretty much what Chacranajxy said. If that sounds good to you, I'd recommend picking up Oath in Felghana right now since it's the cheaper release. If you love it, you'll want to pick up Origin.

Well then it's kinda like Zelda on crack, with no puzzles. Basically, it takes place from a sorta overhead perspective, and you kill lots and lots and lots of shit. But it's fun, because the combat has a very addictive rhythm to it, and enemies explode into blood and gems when you kill them. It's sweet. If you like old-school games even a little, you'll probably love this.

ill probably check this out later. I just wish all these Ys games where not so similar ;/
So in this game it's select a dude and play and not quick swap like 7?

Similar in what ways?
Because 7 is nothing like Origin, that's for sure.
Did you say "proper widescreen support"?! Sold!!!11!1
I always play Ys games windowed anyway, so makes no difference to me, just want to vote for Falcom/XSeed with my pound sterling

Awesome music. Spam attack key. Mean bosses. Prerendered sprites.
Similar in the fact that they both have Ys in the name!
There are only three Ys games with sprites like that. Ark of Napishtim, Oath in Felghana, and Origin.
Bosses are the highlight of the series.

True... Idk all the ys games I've played in the last month felt kinda similar. Sue me xD
Still need to beat them. I kinda with they weren't so long.

only seven is bigger than average. the others are pretty short by todays artificial stretching standards.

Hype! Day One! Third Cliché!
Now I've got my fingers on maximum crossed for Ark of Napishtim.
Then we'll have official English (and more modern) versions of the "Holy Trinity."

Um, what? Pretty much every Ys game not called Ys Seven is like under six hours. Eight max.
First time I've heard someone complain that they are too long. Usually they complain they are too short!
Except 7 of course. That really was too long.
Going through Seven right now so this has to wait. But I'm so in this game when I'm done there.
I've gone through Chronicles, Oath in Felghana and now Seven, and I & II Chronicles is still my favorite Ys game (I'm counting it as one). For a lot of reasons (maybe I'll make a LttP Ys Series thread or something later).

Ys is not loot focused at all, there's no click click click everywhere to move (use arrows/controller/etc), no multiplayer.
There are very few parallels between the two.

But they need to release Ark of Napishtim, Xanadu Next, Dinosaur Resurrection, Gurumin and Zwei II first.I say everyone buy this (I mean EVERYONE) just to push for TitS on Steam!

Ys V is pretty lengthy but everyone except me hates it.
I never played V, but I do like the way it looks... even though most people seem to hate the visuals. I dunno, something about darker color palettes in SNES games builds a Darm Tower in my pants.
I really, really want Xanadu Next. I don't know why. I just know that it looks radical.

So much this. Where are the adorable steam achievement icons?

it is radical and very addicting. pure falcom quality. more people need to play it. it's my backlog goty so far.
Absolutely nothing like Diablo.
I haven't played Origins, but Oath in Felghana felt like an overhead Symphony of the Night.

How well do I need to understand Japanese to enjoy it? I'm guessing the language barrier is minimal, but... ya never know.

Xanadu Next does have a funky bug that I know at least myself, Augemitbutter, and a couple others ran into. He got around it though, I haven't really tried but up until that bug I was really enjoying the game.
Hopefully that will be fixed in a Steam release. I'm sure if XSEED goes for more Falcom games that one will be on their list. It just seems like the sort of game that will resonate really well with western PC gamers.

;A; Thank you. Here is one! The 'My Fact is Truer than Yours' Achievement (hopefully this works, I'm not very used to message boards).
Im going to guess that that's imageshack. That's banned on gaf.
Try imgur or minus.
Ha, yes. Fixed now!

Rad. I still think it's kind of awesome that Falcom approved all these.

I hope not. I really think Ima just play through with all the characters and then call it a day... at least for now. Too much other stuff I wanna play.

Just one? That was half of the achievements in Felghana.

In my experience it's the extreme minority of achievements across all platforms that require high levels of execution and mastery. Never realized the bar would be set so high for 6+ year old action hack n' slash games.
