Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never played a Ys game so decided to try this one since Persona 5 was just so amazing. This game is not disappointing me at all. (Well maybe a little bit of grammar issues.) This game reminds me so much of Skies of Arcadia, you build a village on the shipwrecked island and it grows as you save more people. As well as elements from the anime “Your Name.” I am very happy to have blind bought this and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great fast paced game, with a great story, characters and music.

This is a solid JRPG. I enjoyed this more than FFXV and Persona 5. Pacing and story development are excellent, something I felt was lacking in the previously mentioned games. Graphics are good but not great. only 20% voice acted. Multiple endings, which I hate, but I got the true ending without a guide so...good! Game most like this one, the tales series. Game I liked more Nier Automata.

Don't let the relatively simple graphics fool you (this game was originally developed for Vita) - this is a great game for anyone who is a fan of fast-paced action RPG's. The combat, especially learning when to switch between the characters at the press of a button, remains fast and exciting. The story is engaging (although it starts a bit slowly), and the remote island setting is surprisingly large and diverse. It's fun to keep exploring, and over time the island nearly becomes a character unto itself, which helps to set the game apart from other RPG's. The game also has a fantastic soundtrack which perfectly fits the on-screen action. Highly recommended!

The Ys series has appeared on almost every console since it debuted, both new and older games. There isn't much I can say that hasn't already praised this game. It's great. It continues the adventure of Adol as he always finds himself swept up on some island to solve mysteries and defeat monsters. This game is great for familiar fans and new comers. It's very approachable without having have played previous games, though I've played most of them and felt like this could stand alone even though there is continuity with each game. It has a great visuals and a great battle system.

Has a good soundtrack, story, and good character background along with a good battle mechanic. If you liked the previous Y’s games then you’ll definitely love this one.

The Ys series has been around for roughly 30 years now but it still manages to get great games, and this game is no exception. For those wondering if you need to play past games to experience this one, do not worry as each game is self contained, save for a few subtle references veteran fans will understand. You are Adol Christin who is stranded on an island along with other castaways and must work together to find a way off. With great gameplay, story, music, and worldbuilding, this game is a must play.

This game will probably go under the radar by most. If you are a fan of JRPG I would highly recommend. The game play is highly addictive and has an interesting story to go along with. If you are into action RPG I would say this is a must.

just gotta say this serie is awesome sweet story awesome gameplay interesting character mechanics are pretty awesome story just hope we get to see more of this ys serie going to ps4 worth getting if u like action rpg with good story

If you like YS7 and YS4 merories of Celceta. You'll love YS8. It retain the same gameplay with better upgrade and story. It's a action rpg. It feels more like zelda then final fantasy. Which I also love zelda.

Throughout its 30 year history, the Ys series has been the premier franchise for action RPG fans in the know. With each new entry Falcom pays homage to the history of the action RPG genre, while continuing to modernize. Ys VIII continues that tradition, and manages to feel just the right combination of classic and fresh. The combat is snappy and quick. The characters are endearing. The newest addition to the series, managing your castaway village, is satisfying and provides an extra motivation to get out into the wild to explore and collect. Ys VIII is a meatier entry than previous Ys titles, clocking in at several times the shorter length that past entries were known for. There's alot to see and do. Gamers who prize graphics over all else may be alittle disappointed with this title, as it is an upscaled Vita game at its core, however, the overall visual style is a delight. Colors are bright and vibrant. Monster designs are unique. And the framerate is buttery smooth . And goodness is that one heck of a good soundtrack!

This is an action RPG that has fast based and thrilling combat, and a decent story that will keep you engaged.

YS 8 is great, and for the first time it actually has what I feel like is a really good fleshed out story. Dana is one of best characters I have ever seen in any sort of media. She is truly wonderful and the combat is just as fun with many type of action maneuvers you can use to give you the edge in battle. So come and play as our favorite Swordsman Adol and crush through these monsters and find out what adventures await our dear Adol. I consider YS 8 to be the best entry in the entire YS series.

Never having played a Ys game, I wasn't sure if this game would satisfy my arpg needs. Let me assure you...This game is absolutely brilliant! The battles are great for fans of the action rpg genre.

Ys games Have always had a fun action battle system where you can move around and control one of three characters in your party.

Ive never heard of these developers or this series.. i dove in anyway and just.. Wow! One of my favorite ps4 games to date.

Ys 8 is another great entry to the series and one of my favorites. It improves upon the style that they started using in Ys Seven and the new engine makes the combat much more enjoyable. Has an enjoyable story and characters to go along with it all.

I'm only 12 hours into this game so far and am no where near even close to completing everything. Amazing game!

The YS VIII Lacrimosa of Dana game is very awesome and beautiful!

Really good story line between most characters, graphics are good, game loading is smooth, great ability to change difficulty for different skilled players.

Apparently I did, which is why I bought the game. It isn't the best RPG ever to grace the field with its presence, but let's be honest with ourselves; it's quite playable regardless. The story is excellent and I enjoyed the fact that they never once reveal who Luke's father actually is. If you look closely, one of the clouds look like a cheeseburger biting the head off of a chicken. Clearly a commentary on our reliance as a society on fast food and protein.
